32. Assassin's Creed II (NR)
After playing its predecessor I wasn't sure if I really wanted to stick with the series but I'm glad I did. Everything about the sequel is improved over the original with the holes that it had. Combat feels much deeper and more varied and travel around the world is less hampered. The significant increase in optional content which actually provides fun information and story is a great way to handle allowing each player to choose their own level of involvement in the series' lore. The characters are much more memorable and have significantly more feeling behind them. The freerunning aspects are also vastly improved and less tedious to the point where just running through a city is fantastic.
Primarily an RPG player but have interest in any game that will make me think.
