Assassin’s Creed Needs To Be More Difficult

I’ve been revisiting Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood in anticipation of the soon-to-be-released fourth game in the series, Assassin’s Creed: Revelations. I started a new game, and within an hour or so protagonist Ezio Auditore was effortlessly laying waste to dozens upon dozens of enemies — guys on horseback, heavily armoured pikemen, and scores of sword-wielding Roman guards. I paused and blocked, then countered, then chained my attacks to insta-kill foe after foe. Maybe it’s all the Witcher 2 and Arkham Asylum I’ve been playing, but I found myself mentally checking out the more I fought. It’s not exactly new news, but damn, this game is easy.

This Assassin’s Creed: Revelations Trailer Spoils The End Of AC: Brotherhood

Don’t watch this trailer if you didn’t finish Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood. If you did, this is a tease of what happens with series hero Desmond in this fall’s Assassin’s Creed: Revelations. Looks to me like the Desmond parts of this game will be like the virtual-reality training missions of Brotherhood. But that’s just a hunch.
