Alright, let’s talk about my recent gaming adventure – Assassin’s Creed: The Ezio Collection on the Nintendo Switch. I grabbed this bad boy a little while back, thinking it would be a sweet way to revisit some classics.
Getting Started
First off, I launched the game and I have to say that getting it to run was a piece of cake. No technical hiccups, it was smooth sailing right from the start. Popped it in, and boom, I was back in the Renaissance, ready to roll with Ezio.
Playing the Game
So, I started with Assassin’s Creed II. Let me tell you, parkouring across those rooftops in Florence felt just as good as I remembered. The controls on the Switch are pretty tight, which is great because you need that precision when you’re leaping from building to building or sneaking around. And yes, the game runs at 30 fps, which is totally fine. It’s not like it’s a twitch shooter where every frame counts. It plays like a dream on this console.
One thing I noticed is that the graphics are a bit of an upgrade from the original releases. Nothing crazy, but it looks cleaner. I mean, it’s still an old game, but they did a decent job sprucing it up. I spent hours just wandering around, taking in the sights, and getting into the occasional scuffle with the guards.
The Full Experience
- Assassin’s Creed II: This is where it all started for Ezio, and it’s still my favorite of the three. The story is just so compelling, and I found myself getting really invested in Ezio’s journey.
- Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood: Building up your own team of assassins was pretty cool. I spent a lot of time just managing my crew and taking over Rome.
- Assassin’s Creed Revelations: This one has a special place in my heart. Seeing the conclusion of Ezio’s story was really satisfying. Plus, Constantinople is a fantastic setting.
I did hit a few snags. Like, those feathers in Assassin’s Creed II? Still a pain to collect. I managed to platinum the game, but man, those feathers tested my patience. Overall, it took me around 80 hours to play through all three games, and I enjoyed pretty much every minute of it.
Final Thoughts
Look, if you’re a fan of Assassin’s Creed, this collection is worth picking up on the Switch. It’s a great way to experience these games, especially if you’re like me and enjoy playing on the go. Sure, there are a few minor issues, but nothing that really detracts from the overall experience. At the end of the day, I found myself completely immersed in Ezio’s world, and that’s what matters most. And it’s not worse than the original. It’s a solid port, and I’m happy I grabbed it.
So yeah, that’s my take on Assassin’s Creed: The Ezio Collection on the Switch. It’s a solid package, and I definitely recommend it. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go back to liberating Renaissance Italy. See ya!
