Assassin's Creed

The game I dislike is Assassin’s Creed by Ubisoft & Electronic Arts. Although it was an overall great game, there are some things which could have been improved, and some faults which shouldn’t happen.

My main complaint about the game is that it gets repetitive. In order to attempt the assassination, the player must perform a series of ‘investigation’ quests beforehand to get more information on the target. Though it was fun the first time around, the quests are rinsed and repeated. Which ranges from saving a citizen, bribing someone, killing a guard, and eavesdropping. This I believe can be improved by adding more variety to these ‘investigation’ quests.

Another thing is the way you evade enemy guards. The AI for the guards is somewhat stupid, as they won’t know that you’re the assassin even if you’re sitting on a bench right in front of them. This is more of a glaring flaw to me, as its almost too easy to avoid detection. Which takes away most of the fun in the game. This can be resolved by some AI improvements, such as checking the regular hiding spots and asking the local NPCs for any information regarding the assassin/player.

My final complaint is that there are some cases where the game will crash and display some visual tearing. I noticed during my playthroughs that on some occasions the game will crash after an extended period of time. Furthermore, on some occasions, there are some missing textures and some visual tearing. I think faults such as these shouldn’t occur for a game of this caliber.
