Assassin’s Creed II could be grabbed from Uplay for zero monies this week. I’ve some very fond reminiscences of the second Assassin’s Creed game, even after… oh. Oh no. No, no, no. 11 years? That can’t be proper. I’ll simply double-check. Nope, it’s proper. Well, fu-
-rther evaluation exhibits that I’m now previous. It needed to occur finally.
ACII was the primary good stab-em-up of Ubisoft’s gargantuan time-bending sequence. It began off the pattern the place each even-numbered game was the enjoyable one. A refreshing renaissance, set in 15th century Italy, the place Ezio Auditore da Firenze would dash over the rooftops of Florence and Venice. It embraced the inherent nonsense of the idea like a stabby cleaning soap opera, with a whole lot of shouting about loss of life and honour. But it used the setting to its fullest. I bear in mind escaping guards by hopping on a gondola. If you want any additional motive to seize it for nought, it has Leonardo da Vinci aiding the participant because the gadget maker. He’s the Q to Ezio’s Bond, constructing you his wacky flying machine that will help you traverse the big cities.
It’s free till tomorrow from Uplay. It gained’t have any of the multiplayer elements, which had been sadly shut down in 2018. There’s additionally some oddness between the UK and the US variations. It appears to be like like we solely get the usual model within the UK, whereas the US freebie is the deluxe version. That’s the one which comes with an actual knife to stab your enemies with, so watch out when downloading it.
