7. A Gorgeous Setting
From the stunning mountains of Masyaf through the intricate and sumptuously gorgeous Italian Renaissance of the Part II Trilogy (AC II, Brotherhood and Revelations), and even parts of the wilderness-dominated AC III, the series penchant for stunning views and historically-accurate vistas is its signature trait. Whilst I doubt the team actually went out and sailed the seven seas as it were, having such a wide expanse of ocean populated by a plethora of varyingly-sized islands has allowed them to program a world of beautifully picturesque sunsets and lush vegetation with which to hunt animals and cat n mouse patrolling soldiers. Until the next-generation gets here and more comparison videos are made for cross-gen titles such as this, the jaw-dropping sight when the camera first pulls back to show your ship in all its sun-soaked Caribbean glory, is suitably grandiose enough.
