The Assassin's Creed franchise is an action role-playing game series developed and published by Ubisoft that has released 17 games and several spin-offs since 2007. This series is known for its unique setting, wonderful plot and rich historical elements, allowing players to experience the fun of the game while also feeling the cultural atmosphere of different eras and regions.
The story of the Assassin's Creed series is divided into two main threads: the modern line and the ancient line. Modern Line tells the story of a man named Desmond Miles, who is kidnapped by an evil organization, Abstergo, and forced to use a machine called Animus to retrace the memories his ancestors experienced in ancient times. Examples include the Crusades, the Renaissance, the American Revolutionary War, the French Revolution, the Victorian period, and many more. In these different historical contexts, players can play as assassins of different identities and genders, interact with locals, explore cityscapes, participate in major events, assassinate important targets, uncover hidden truths, and more.
The most attractive thing about the Assassin's Creed franchise is its very high degree of restoration of historical scenes and characters. The game features many historical figures who have existed in real or legendary existence, such as Saladin, Leonardo da Vinci, Washington, Napoleon, Marx, Cleopatra, Socrates, Harold II and so on. The game also recreates many historical events, such as the Siege of Jerusalem, the Renaissance Movement, the Boston Tea Party Incident, the Storming of the Bastille, the Fire of London, the October Revolution, and more. The buildings and landmarks in the game are also designed and made based on real historical materials and ruins, such as the Temple Mount, St. Peter's Basilica, the Statue of Liberty, the Arc de Triomphe, Big Ben, and many more. Players can admire these historical sites in the game and even climb to the top of them to overlook the entire city.
The Assassin's Creed series not only allows players to feel the atmosphere of different historical periods, but also gives players a deeper and more diverse understanding of those historical figures and events. The game shows the motivations and influences behind these characters and events, as well as the antagonism and cooperation between the Assassins and the Templars. The game also reveals some unsolved mysteries or legendary secrets in history, such as how Adam and Eve were born, how Atlantis sank, who was the last prophet of Christianity, who was the true master of King Arthur's sword, and so on.
