It doesn't seem like a year since I played through Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, but it is and so it's high time I continue the series - in an attempt to make sure that I'm only four years behind the curve and no more. I mean, when I finish Revelations I'll only have III, III Liberation, IV, Rogue, Unity, Chronicles and Syndicate to go.
Hmm.
So, Revelations. I know that I will get to play as both Ezio and Altäir, since they are both on the cover. I know that I will struggle to adapt to a slightly changed control scheme, since they've moved the ranged weapons button.
I know that I will get completely lost in a new city for ages, and will take some time to work out the best way to run away from the guards. I know that I'll quickly get distracted by opening shops and chasing down thieves and looting the bodies of dead soldiers.
I know all this will happen. Why in the future? Because as of now, a few hours into the game, I'm still playing through the tutorial. It goes on forever. I have had to complete some basic missions to learn about the new eagle sense, to learn about the ranged weapons options, to learn about bombs. I finally have a bit of freedom now, but it's taken so long. I mean, it took over half an hour to get to the title screen!
It feels like a refined version of Brotherhood so far. I appreciate the better control over throwing knives, I find the reformed eagle sense a bit annoying, and I find the odd Animus Island a bit odd. It's almost as if they're running out of ideas for the modern-world story.
I'll report more soon.
