ASSASSIN’S CREED II
As the years have gone by, Assassin’s Creed has become a very action oriented franchise, but when it started out, it was deeply rooted in the stealth genre. Sure, it still doesn’t have the kind of intricate and deep stealth mechanics that most games in this feature do, but it just worked so well. Assassin’s Creed II’s mix of platforming, stealth, and combat wasn’t revolutionary by any means, but it achieved almost the perfect balance in what it attempted to do. It was also a beautiful game with excellent world design, an engaging story, and a magnetic protagonist, and remains one of the greatest games of the previous generation.
