  • Action
  • Open world
  • Renaissance

Ezio, a young Florentine noble, seeks revenge in Renaissance Italy: he scales the rooftops of Florence and Venice, assassinates with two hidden blades, explores tombs full of platforming and upgrades his villa at Monteriggioni to earn an income.

Why play it now

When you want an open world that doesn't drag on for ever: the main story, if you get straight to it, takes around 15-20 hours.

Who it's for

For anyone who wants to start the Ezio saga or roam Renaissance cities leaping from rooftop to rooftop.

When not to pick it

If you're after stealth or a challenge in combat: reviews find the fights easy and the stealth weak.
