Coolest Video Game: Assassin's Creed

                 The coolest video game for me is the series: Assassin’s Creed. I ranked it 1st on my all-time favorite video games. Mostly their stories are from different eras and different places of the world. Examples of these are Firenze(Florence), Romagna (Rome), Venenzia(Venice), Monteriggioni, Victorian London, Masyaf, China, The Ocean Pacific, Paris , America , and Russia. The developer of this game is Ubisoft Montreal, a British company with lots and LOTS of cash. This game starts with a child whose past is tragic, until he/she finds a trainer to help him/her seek who  made his/her life miserable. Aside from the brutal kills, violent combos and HD graphics, this game also talks about mystery, history and strategy, especially Assassin’s Creed: Unity. Although most people only notice the blood and gore of this game, they don’t notice the message of the story. Just like in Assassin’s Creed II, the main protagonist is Ezio Auditore da Firenze and he seeks vengeance for his slain father and brothers whose cases are treason. The primary suspects were Rodrigo Borgia, a Spanish pastor-turned-Pope Alexander XVI and his right hand man, Uberto Alberti, a Gonfaloniere (town crier) of the Renaissance. They are the reasons why Ezio’s mother, Maria Auditore was traumatized. Ezio begins his journey where he assassinates the henchmen of the so-called “Gonfaloniere” so that the “Gonfaloniere” will get out of his shell. Ezio also collects the feathers of his late brother,Petruccio, so that they may remind Ezio’s mother that when there is still family, there is also hope. And that’s why I love this game.

        What's an Assassin? An Assassin is a counter part of a Templar, in which will be discussed further, an Assassin is a person of very wide knowledge,skills,talents and strengths. He/she is very patient, silent, cunning and quick-witted.He is held responsible for the Apple of Eden (or the Apple of Adam and Eve) and if he/she lets the Apple of Eden fall into Templar hands, then also he/she breaks The Creed;therefore he/she will be killed.Those are just the traits and rules of an Assassin. The true meaning of being an Assassin is continuing the protection for The Light (or the people who can't defend themselves) through heroic acts, it can be in a less violent way or if the Assassin is forced, then he/she is forced to kill the target. The main and most efficient weapon that is used by The Assassins is the

          Xiphoid (Hidden Blade), a small knife hidden under the arm and covered by a leather arm piece. It was first used by the greatest Assassin, Altair Ibn-ahad  and then handed down to Ezio,Connor,Edward,Arno and so on and so forth. It was then used by some Assassin-turned-Templars like Haytham Kenway, the father of Connor Kenway.

         

        Next is Assassin’s Creed VI: Syndicate, this part of the series begins with a character whose past is still unknown. This character’s name is Jacob Frye, a gangster Assassin. He is the leader of the gang “The Rooks”; a small resistance turning into a large army from the British Templar Colony. What is a Templar? A Templar is a knight whose sole purpose is to multiply the reputation of the Crown through violence and money, also they are responsible for the loss and the breaking of the Sword of Eden and Apple of Eden. Jacob plans that his fallen nation will rise over its desperation, that’s why he established the Rooks. And now you know why I love this series. It doesn’t just show violence and parkour, it also shows hope, honor, love and  loyalty. And at the end of each episode will show an important value : “It’s better to have faith in something than none at all” this is what Connor Kenway said. That’s why it’s the coolest video game ever.
