Day 752 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

Today’s game is some more Assassin’s Creed Revelations. I just kind of spent today dicking around in the game world. I did do one sequences, but i was more than content to just run around and take in the sights. I did also commit to completing a few optional objectives too. Like, i saw an achievement for Gliding onto a zip line. I did that. It was a lot of fun trying to scout out a location like that. I love achievements like that because they don’t feel lazy, and they force you to try something new. I think my favorite achievements that had a good balance of this was Uncharted 4. Took everything and balanced them perfectly too make an experience that was a pleasure to 100%.

one of the missions I did do had me running after these guys on the boat, and that made me think of how i love these linear parkour courses the games throw at you. I think i mentioned this last time too but i love having these because it really puts your experience playing with the Parkour engine too the test. It makes for a really fun experience.

The sequence ended with the usual Altair sequence the game gives you, and i noticed during it that they reuse music from AC1, which i thought was nice. Plus the throwing knives are a oneshot kill it seems. It seems they were dedicated to making it feel fairly faithful to the first game which i love. I also love that it gave us old Altair. I know he’s basically just Desmond but with a greying beard but it suits him. I rather like it.
