15 Best Moments In Assassin's Creed History

2. Ezio And Altair Meet

Revelations had a tough job to begin with. Rounding out one of the greatest protagonists in gaming and giving him a worthy end befitting of his brilliance is no easy task. And yet they managed to create a concise character arc that spanned three games, culminating in one of most brilliant moments in the series.

Reliving Altair’s final moments as a weary old man content with his existence is both beautiful and heart-breaking at the same time. Couple that with Ezio’s realisation of what his life truly means and you have a great video-game ending.

The monologue from Ezio as he comes to terms with what his life means is superb. And the moment that he reaches out and touches Desmond is full of emotional weight as Ezio’s story ends. It’s sad for the briefest of moments, but it couldn’t have been handled more perfectly.

I like video games, writing and writing about video games. Expect sarcasm and the dry wit of a Brit. And the occasional rant of a unhappy Scot. You know... the usual.
