“This game is a HUGE step up from the first game. Better controls, better graphics.....and you can actually swim this time lol. My only complaint is with Ubisoft, and it seems like any of these older games are going to…”
“Absolutely Yes. Story, characters, gameplay, quests, side missions, collectable items, maps, are a thousand times improvement from the first Assassin's Creed. This game provides immersion like I never had in other…”

“Yup, still awesome. Having to log in to Ubisoft to play the game was frustrating and the game often wouldnt start because ubisoft connect would fail to work properly. The game Itself is still really good. I may have…”

“Assassin’s Creed II is one of those rare sequels that truly elevates the series. From my experience, it delivers a richer narrative, a vibrant Renaissance Italy that feels alive, and a protagonist—Ezio—who grows with…”

“I loved it, the graphics are still fine even today, it runs well on modern hardware. The story is good except that animus thing which is totally unecessary. I highly reccomend this game, but buy it on a sale.”
“I've always wanted to get into assassins creed, specifically black flag, but decided on this one. If you are looking for a beautiful story, with gameplay way ahead of its time, this is for you. I also love older games…”
“The game is great, I have played it on console before and now on my pc it works super well, the story is one of the greatest ever made.”

“Ezio Auditore’s resume: professional stabber, amateur feather collector, and part-time renaissance parkour menace. 10/10 would accidentally jump off a church into a desync again. 👍”
“One of the best games in the series, I just had some difficulty with controller support, but other than that its one of the best games I've ever played and I highly recommend.”

“I bought this just cuz I love it so much, Uplay is broken so I play the pirated version anyways, fck Ubisoft”
“I played it a few years ago and planned to replay it lately. For some reason, my Ubisoft account that is linked to my Steam account (and required to play the game) doesn't show that I own it. And UBISOFT COULD NOT CARE…”

“The majority of this game held up pretty well. But Sequences 12 & (especially) 13 should've stayed DLC content. For a 17 year old game, it wasn't too bad. Ezio glazers call this a masterpiece, but conveniently forget to…”

“I remember when this game out and all the hype behind it. (at this point I had never played the first one). I was pleasantly surprised. the game has aged with some bugs but is still one of the best assassins creed…”
“Is pretty bad on pc as the graphics dont render correctly. I have gtx 1650 with 16gb ram. But still the fps drop is insane and every building is pink and the controls do not show keyboard inputs”

“i really enjoyed this games story i mostly played stealth and i really enjoyed the stealth. the game feels a little boring in the start but it is part of character development i guess.”
“An amazing improvement from the first game, practically a 10/10. Moving story and characters, reasonable and good side content, only wish some upgrades would happen sooner (wall jumping).”
“Huge step up in quality from the first game, also a better port with fewer game-breaking bugs. Renaissance-era Italy is such a great location for the game to take place. My only major grievances are the placement of the…”

“To me the best assassins creed game till this day! Nothing has come close to the magic this game had. I remember getting this for the xbox 360 when it first came out. Once it came to PC, of course it was a no brainer to get it. Enzo is by far the most interesting character in…”
