There’s a series of main story quests Ezio follows as he explores plenty of large environments. The gameplay structure is exactly what you’d expect from a modern open-world game - at least the 2009 vintage of the genre. And once you get your assassination equipment, there is no better feeling than jumping off a building and killing the enemy in one attack they never saw coming. It won’t be long until you completely change the way you view your environment as cities become large jungle gyms for you to clamber over and explore. Climbing up walls and buildings and towers, for example, is an amazing feeling, as it turns what would conventionally be an obstacle into a new way to explore your surroundings.

Fast-forward to the modern era where the organization Abstergo, a front for the Templars, has developed a machine known as the Animus, which allows users to experience their ancestors' memories.
