10. Leonardo's Flying Contraption

The relationship between Leonardo and Ezio is something special. Not only is it just heartwarming, but it details how to include historical figures in the story perfectly. Charles Dickens from Syndicate should be taking notes. But the payoff for Leonardo and Ezio’s relationship is the flying contraption.

Soaring across the skies atop beautiful Venice is simply stunning. What we all thought was going to be a throw away reference to DaVinci’s many creative contraptions, became one of the most entertaining and brilliant moments in the game.

The moment is short-lived, but it’s something special. It’s one of the few moments in the game where it doesn’t give you an objective. You are just flying until you crash. It’s a brilliant moment that really just gives you time to admire the world Ubisoft built. Just beautiful.

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.
