Assassin's Creed Brotherhood
2010 · Action Adventure · PC / Steam
Assassin's Creed Brotherhood refined everything its predecessor built and added a recruitment system that made you feel like a true leader of assassins. Rome is a massive, beautifully realized playground, the Borgia tower liberation mechanic gives exploration genuine purpose, and the multiplayer was unlike anything else in gaming at the time. The story doesn't hit the emotional heights of Assassin's Creed II, the single-city setting reduces variety, and the full synchronization system creates frustration where the original had freedom. But as a mechanical evolution of the Ezio formula, Brotherhood is one of the strongest entries in the franchise.
