Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
138 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Honestly, by this point in time, Ezio is deservedly a legendary character in gaming, and his story is fun and interesting to experience, but I must confess that replaying the game now as an adult, it does feel a bit cheap.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
91 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I remember just reading about the fact that the game now contains money and earning it as a mechanic and being excited out of my mind (which is something I doubt will ever happen again), and that was before all that other cool stuff like new tools, new ways to assassinate people, and the game genuinely feeling like an improvement from its predecessor in every way imaginable.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
73 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Combat feels much smoother and more reliable than in the first game—inputs actually register, and fights feel more engaging overall.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
On top of that, the soundtrack stood out to me—it has this almost “Minecraft-like” charm that I really enjoyed.
