About

Assassin's Creed II is the second installment in the AC series, the center of which is stealths kills, exploring the world and enemy encounters. It is the straight sequel to the first part of the series and the beginning of the Ezio — the protagonist — trilogy, followed by 'Brotherhood' and 'Revelation.'
The events take place in Rome, during the Italian Renaissance (1476-1499), we play as Ezio Auditore and are fighting against Knight Templar, being the Assassins. At the same time, all of the installments within a series are connected with each other by the Desmond storyline: all of the enchanted worlds he travels to are just simulations achieved through using "Animus" — a particular device which gets in the DNA and allows its user to drive around their memories.
The game involves following mechanics — presuming the player to chase around some target, not moving to close, but not getting far at the same time; exploring quests — the heart of movement mechanics is parkour, and fighting — hero's arsenal involves swords, spears, and other melee weapons as well as ranged ones: bows, crossbows, and javelins.

I'm a producer/composer (usually write under the name KASSEO) and made this theme as a nod to Assassins Creed: Black Flag - thought this would be the best place to share it. Hope you enjoy it!

Assassin's Creed II reviews and comments

To this date still the best Assassins Creed game.
«Blew my mind»
«Time-tested»
This was the last game I tried to run in my low spec laptop long back. And finally I got to complete. I came to this from Ghost of Tsushima, so the graphical difference was jarring, but that was easy to get over.

The 2 things that I had major problems was the janky overloaded controls and the lack of feather map. 

Other than that the game was a very unique idea with awesome background music. Cool mechanics, cool protagonist and cool side characters.
«Blew my mind»
«That ending!»
A stellar sequel.
Combat has been streamlined, Italy is designed beautiful and fun to traverse and Ezios character and story is fantastic.
«Blew my mind»
«Time-tested»
Assassin’s Creed II took all the aspects that the first game did well and improved on it such as the gameplay and world design. The game also features one of the greatest video game protagonists through a compelling narrative set to one of the greatest soundtracks of all time. Although it may not be the first game, Assassin’s Creed II is what blew the franchise up to the levels that has allowed it to continue a decade later.
«Time-tested»
«Beaten more than once»
This was the first 'Assassin's Creed' game that I ever played; thus, I didn't really know what to expect.

Ubisoft completely blew me away from the get-go.

The characters, story, soundtrack, environment, and everything else all added up to be one of the most enjoyable and action-packed games I've ever played. Sure, there were some trailing missions here and there, but the real meat of the game was so fun! Ezio (or should I say Desmond?) is such a likable protagonist and his story was instantly intriguing.

If you've never played this game before, or any other game in the franchise, I implore you to give this one a chance. I am certain you'll (at the very least) find it to be an entertaining experience!
«That ending!»
«OST on repeat»
Great game. Parkour, fighting, plot, graphics, puzzles - I enjoyed everything. Leonardo da Vinci was really likeable and historical Italy is magnificent.
arguabley the best AC, I wouldn't say so, but its influence and last impression on gaming and the Ubisoft formula can't be overstated.
Really perfects what AC1 was going for.
Excellent character and environment design, and the initial cutscenes are short and set the atmosphere of the game perfectly. But as with the entire series until AC4 (which I haven't played yet), these games have serious pacing problems. They're all probably 10-15 hours longer than they need to be, jam-packed with pointless filler that repeatedly threatens to put me to sleep. And the parkour and combat mechanics have longstanding issues that I'm hoping AC4 will resolve.
«Oh God i managed it»
