On the most recent episode of our podcast, Kotaku Splitscreen, I declared Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood to be the best Assassin’s Creed
You can listen to my reasoning in the clip above or just read these extremely true bullet points:
Great location
Great protagonist
Great missions, especially the crucifixion one in the Colosseum
Great integration of multiplayer into the game’s lore
Great gameplay addition of the Brotherhood, who enabled the peak Assassin’s Creed moment: Walking down the street toward a target, whistling for the Brotherhood to attack, having a minion assassin leap up from a hay-filled wagon or down from a roof to take out the target, all while you just keep walking down that street.
Also: Pretty good modern day stuff.
Sure, ACII is the popular answer, but what that game did, Brotherhood for the most part did better.
