A significant downstep from Brotherhood. Yet another holding pattern release, this time featuring an aged and cantankerous Ezio who heads to Constantinople to find some keys to a library that Altair sealed. The gameplay is largely the same as in Brotherhood, but now you get penalised for engaging with the city renovation, which begs the question of why you should bother. Parts of the game put you in control of Altair and Desmond for flashbacks; the Altair sequences are neat vignettes of the later stages of his life but the Desmond ones are awful first-person puzzle platforming trials that suck the life and soul out of me.
