Assassin’s Creed® Brotherhood

少点收集品吧收集的要吐了，还有有些任务要百分百同步太难了失误一下重新开任务非常麻烦，战斗系统和刺客养成系统好玩多了，剧情也在线

Polishes many aspects of the second game, great plot, especially interesting antagonists.

Crashes multiple times during a few hours of playing, and after a few days of crashes resulted in corrupted save.

I played this ones in my childhood and decided to replay the entire Desmond`s story again.
After completing Mirage and others chapters of modern Assassin`s Creed games, Brotherhood feels like fresh air.
-The gameplay is as interesting as it could have been at the time of the release of this game, and even more
-Amazing character development
-Plot that evokes emotions and does not make you yawn while playing
Consiglia di giocare! Approvato!

Brotherhood takes the second game and makes it better. The best part is probably combat which has great flow and so fun. The story starts exactly where it ended last game (which is something I really liked). Music is amazing! I'd say it's better than music from AC2, but it's not as iconic. Another great thing is introduction of the brotherhood mechanic.
The game has often problems with camera (e. g. bad angles that can't be changed). The worst thing are timed tasks (especially Desmonds "parkour test" at the end)

Despite the flaws I would definitely recommend this game!

I enjoy the story line and how it flirts with known history

i regret buying the game, launcher its pretty annoying which is sad bc i love AC

Great game, played it on xbox when it came out. good story, lots to do. (there are a couple of quests that are dependent on fps and literally impossible without messing with settings though)

This is the third AC game I have played - I am going through them in order. In my experience it was the best so far. Here’s why:
- True open word, without those rather annoying moves between cities.
- Rome is gorgeous. Climbing on top of the Colosseum and looking at the skyline of the ancient capital is truly something.
- Quests and side quests are not annoying. I guess this is in comparison with the AC1, where quite a few of them felt really repetitive.

If I had to find a downsides, here they are:
- Some 100% challenges are really annoying. If you fail the full sync criteria at the end of a long mission - welcome to redoing everything (and it can be a 10-15 minutes mission) from scratch.
- The whole “Brotherhood” situation feels rather unnecessary. Yes, it is fun to have an ability to kill everybody by whistling, but it feels foreign to the whole “lone assassin” idea, Besides, it is even less realistic than falling from rooftops into little piles of hay. Do those assassins follow Ezio everywhere waiting for a signal?
- Magic apple was weird and not fun. Good thing it was over rather quickly.

Overall, I really enjoyed the experience. Playing as a skilled assassin in gorgeous historical settings - that’s all this series is about and AC2B really delivered that.

An amazing continuation of Ezio’s story, with improvements in graphics and some new weapons.

I cannot enter my CD key because activation servers unavailable (they have been down for 6 months according to the community) so cannot play. I have two other working Ubisoft Connect launchers games AC2 and Driver with latest Ubisoft Connect launchers, and even Assassin’s Creed® Brotherhood has the latest Ubisoft Connect launcher.

Im just gonna copy my AC2 review more or less...

Game is OK. Ezio story is pretty decent. But the game overall has not aged well at all. Though, it is a step up in terms of graphics and combat compared to AC2 which is a nice touch.

Controls are out right HORRIBLE yet again, one of the worst controls in a video game imo, even with a gamepad. I think i died and failed more of just Ezio leaping out of nowhere when climbing etc. Got really tedious real fast.

The game becomes very repetitive after a while (classic Open world ubisoft, climb tower, unlock area etc), there is more grind in this game when it comes to unlock weapons, upgrades etc compared to AC2, which i got tired of real fast. Collect different items to unlock different weapons, shop quests more or less. Gain more income? Then you will need to climp these stupid towers and burn them down to unlock that area and then be able to buy more shops in the area etc. I just played the story in the end.

Overall, its a 5/10. Grab it on sale.

The sequel that improved upon the 2nd game, furthering Ezio's story and managing to continue telling a good story. It flounders at times but overall a decent sequel, even the multiplayer is enjoyable and this was when MP was being forced into a lot of single player games. In this instance it worked very well imo.

At this time however the modern day story was starting to fall apart, in the first two they were intriguing and engaging enough to be interesting. But here it started to really show how little they worked on it compared to the main game. But as a whole the game still stands as a decent enough sequel.

Overall Score: 8/10

Bug right at the end of the game prevented me from finishing it. Enlisted advice from reddit and the community and nothing worker. Left the game, came back to it several times, even restarted my pc and nothing worked. Besides that, while this was a great day in its day, the pc version is just way too buggy to be worth it...

I had to buy this a second time because UPLAY was an evil idea... but... that's a testament to how good this one was. I've been wanting to get back into this, I just haven't found the time.

This one just has one of the best environments, and some of the coolest gameplay features. Also, it really goes pretty hard with it's villain. It suffers a little from a political bias, but not so much that makes me feel like calling it out on it's history.

I think this one, it's kinda pinnacle of classic AC gameplay, environment, level design, and... I don't wanna say the story, but it's probably got the best performances from it's cast.

There's more emotional stories, there's less political stories, there's more innovative gameplay, there's bigger environments, there's others with more customization... but this one is probably the last time AC was just practically almost infallible... with the exception of uplay.

If you're a fan of the franchise this is one of the best, and maybe the best. Easy top 3 for me, somewhere with unity and Odyssey.

Pretty good not gonna lie, its an improvement from AC2 (as it is a sequel), The graphics look pretty good and the killstreak feature is cool, releasing your own assassins on people is also really cool, though i think AC3 did it better.

Most of the side characters from AC2 return, such as leonardo da vinci, and Claudia auditore and Maria auditore.

I recommend playing this game.

Great sequel to AC2, was great fun finishing it. Would recommend at a discount.

really hard to overstate how bad ubisoft support are, and you're forced to play via a ubisoft account. AVOID!

Very nice game.
The audio sliders do not seem to affect certain sfx sounds in the game (croud speech volume, lifts, cannons, borgia towers exploding etc.). I fixed this by setting the sliders to maximum and controlling the game volume from volume mixer.
Crashing also stopped after manually locking the game to 60fps.

If you think of Brotherhood as a standalone dlc expansion to AC2 it's pretty good. It introduced some good stuff, some bad stuff, there's essentially no story, etc.

Thing is it isn't a dlc of course, it was sold as a fully fledged sequel back in the day.
Might as well get on sale if you want more AC2.

Multiplayer is gone, not much use in purchasing anymore :(

great game and story. but WHY THE FUCK IS MY PROGRESS GONE?
ALL I DID WAS BUY A NEW PC TO UPGRADE FROM MY GAMING LAPTOP
and its all gone

Great game story is a bit short 3 best game for me in the franchise but that is only for me (other people put it higher) but still download it now lets support this bad new Ubisoft so they make good games like the old ones that we all like.

The Game is 14 years old. ubisoft could fix all the bugs there ever existed in this game. They have resources for it. They still want 15 f Euros or 20 f bucks for it. And what do you get for it?

1. lot of bugs: i literally have to play with opened web browser to google this sh*t and hope some reddit users solved this for me. (to be exact: missions "Flying Machine 2.0" and "Pax Romana" are barely playable due to the bugs)
2. no "borderless window" mode. Every switching between game and any other app last 5 seconds at least and you can't use your second screed if you have it. That means you better place your laptop nearby.
3. annoying unskippable animations.
4. controls are just sh*t. When you're in battle, targets can switch for no reason. You're trying to attack npc, then next attack goes in other direction just because the game have decided to do so.
5. menus: in some menus you should use enter to proceed, in others you should use space. Looks like there were different developer teams, which were not really communicating between each other. Also in some menus you can't use escape button to exit... for no f reason.
6. " synchronization" mechanic (complete the mission with some additional condition) is pure sh*t. Only people with no personal life will complete it.
7. Boring and monotonous task such as "clear this area", "loot all chests over huge area" and "collect 10 items which you get randomly from random places". Merchant quests are pure sh*t.
8. on top of everything from above you get problems with "ubisoft connect" - useless piece of sh*t. Like "oh we can't connect to our own server... pls do restart your pc". People do some crap to make this sh*t work. (On reddit people share their stories as they change their password and log out on their phones to make "ubisoft connect" work) (and they sell games there for 60 f euro!!! I'm not kidding!!!)

As the result i want to make a personal statement:
I HATE uBISOFT. I personally think they are greedy, lazy, incompetent snails

Compare yourself:
They want 40 euro for AC Black Flag (do you even know/remember this game?), while at the same time Skyrim SE costs same 40 euros!!!

(You can get Skyrim SE for 8 euro on discount on Steam, while the lowest price for AC Black Flag is 12!!!)



I can't complete the game, since i can't make the character to move in right direction in "Pax Romana" mission. And i'm not sure they'll return me my money.

When other men blindly follow the truth,remember.
Nothing is true,
When other men are limited by morality or law,remember. 
Everything is permitted. 
We work in the dark to serve the light,we are assassins. 

Really loved how the game starts exactly in the same spot were you finish Assassin's Creed 2, with the same weapons and outfit.
Enjoy Ezio in his golden times!

Direct sequel to AC2, ezio is back.


Improved on AC2 in many ways. A little more less focused on being a serious game, has left the stealth as a side thing, focusing a lot on combat with the new gears.

pros:
good replay value
good gameplay, the parkour is nice, the combat is miles better than ac2 (for me at least) and killstreaks are fun
good story, nice continuation to ezio's story after ac2
good visuals especially for its time

cons:
uplay
ubisoft

Dealing with the Ubisoft Launcher on a Steam Deck was a major pain. After successfully getting into the game, I thought never closing the app and using the Deck's sleep feature would keep me safe from interacting with the launcher again. However, towards the end of the story, the game crashed once and forced me to go through the whole process one more time. The game itself actually runs pretty well and looks good, though.

I'm somewhat in the middle when it comes to Assassin's Creed games, I neither hate nor love them. This has caused me to experience the series roughly one game per decade, giving myself just enough time to forget about the frustrating parts, which caused me to take such long brakes in the first place.

The first major pain point comes from the movement controls. Pretty important, considering the game is all about sneaking and parkour. When it works. it feels absolutely great to cruise through obstacles or set up an assassination just the way you want. On the other hand, sometimes it feels like the game does the exact opposite of what you want it to do. The direction Ezio moves in seems to be to some extent based on the direction the camera is facing, however the camera will change on its own as you jump and climb on stuff. Meaning, in some scenarios, if you want to just move forward and you're just pointing the joystick up, Ezio will not go forward. The solution is to recognize areas where navigation is more wonky, and make sure you locate Ezio and the camera to where you want him to go. Sounds easy, but this does break the flow of what is supposed to be a smooth and badass looking movement system.

Combat can also be pretty frustrating at times. Once again, the game sometimes behaves in unexpected ways. Target locking, camera, and Ezio's ability to hit an enemy standing literally in front of him are not always as functional as you'd expect them to be. But, when the combat works, it becomes way too easy, once you get a kill, you can sweep through an entire group of enemies. You can also recruit junior assassins and have them kill whoever you don't feel like killing yourself, which is pretty funny.

While Ezio's story is perfectly servicable, the bits of Desmond's scenes you get are nothing to write home about. There's lots of banter which is not funny at all and the whiny guy becomes annoying real fast. Finally, the general gameplay is good. There is enough variety to keep you occupied for a while. Eventually I felt like I got as much from the game as I could, and finished the main story without completing, probably, around half of the open world content.

Overall, Brotherhood was a fine enough action-adventure game and I'm sure I'll get to the next game, eventually.

The added game mechanics are a nice addition and make the gameplay way more more exciting than AC2. It feels way more polished but I still manage to encounter some bugs like falling through the map. The final fight was awful. The fighting gets quite repetitive in general after a couple of hours but is still more engaging than AC1 and AC2 and I believe it very much fits the flow of the game. I am a fan of the parkour which feels more polished, even though there a multiple instances where it feels very restricted, like the game clearly tells you what path to climb the monument from, which I don't like.

The church at the very ending of the game is one of the most beautiful game areas I've ever seen.

All in all this is definitely still one of the Assassin's Creed which is worth to play, simply for the parkour and story. (7.8/10)

Felky Fun Meter

|----------->-|| [11/10] Out of control fun!

this game is just wonderful i started with ac 2 and it was really good but this games way more advanced in color, fighting and the new mechanics are amazing in general, but the fact that I wanna perfect every mission it takes for me quite a time if ur thinking about buying the game and read this: ur getting touchies if u dont buy it

Very solid entry to the series. Good story, great character in Ezio, not much else to say, if you like the Assassin Creed games, the chances you will like this are high. The combat has improved since AC2 at least which makes it more streamlined, but it still isn't perfect yet at this point in the franchise. Just get it, it's probably cheap as hell here on Steam with a sale so stop crying and put it in your cart. Like right now it's on sale for $5 US, so if you can't afford that or that is too much money for you then maybe you shouldn't be playing video games.

Was just about to give it 8/10 or even 9/10 as for the most part it did its job, and did it fairly well, but...

Mechanics are almost like in AC2, couple new additions like parachute, poison darts, assassins you can call, etc., but not much else to consider it a completely new game. Don't get me wrong, those things worked, I had an absolute blast sending recruits on missions, liberating towers that explode as Ezio jumps down from them, even hunting treasures and doing side missions (except for Romulus guys, skipped that part almost entirely). Guild challanges are more or less enjoyable, investing in merchants felt quite good, restoration, Rome economy stuff and small aqueduct "puzzles" all felt right. But that's basically it: slightly upgraded AC2.
Graphics and voice acting are decent, plot is more or less engaging (but of course Animus parts are much more captivating, real world parts are okay-ish).

And then sequence 8 started... with apple and absolutely rushed ending, where you chase Cesare in some linear setting with "desynchronization walls" to the sides (since when did AC become a "hallway action" type of game?).
Mechanics of fighting with apple are not only unintuitive, and seemingly capable of hurting allies, you also can't opt out of it. Why oh why did I spend whole game gathering my whole weapons setup and then am forced to fight without it?

Last several hours were completely awful for me here.
FInal verdict: good to play as a continuation of AC2, but don't see much replayability on its own.
Oh yeah, and Christina sequences revealed a frustrating side of Ezio's character, no idea why they made it like that.
6.5/10

I love all in this game. including the history, places, dynamic and aspect.

still the best one in franchise

Ubisoft pls stop putting boring modern day abstergo crap nobody cares

i want to be ezio or ed kenway not boring office simulator thanks

Regardless of the story, the bugs and glitches are still present in the game.
The worst part being, you may encounter the bug on pc right before completing the game which ruins your entire experience. I don't think its the responsibility of users to try different tweaks just to get over that bug but ubisoft to resolve it.
After playing the newer titles, it seems that there is unnecessary hype for this title.

after beating the game, i can say that it was pretty good, story was pretty alright but most other things were a general improvement from 2

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, the real Assassin's Creed III, is still a sequel. It still has the same elements as its predecessor but with minor graphical improvement, establishing a brotherhood and leveling up assassins, buying stores, and finding the mysteries of Roma. It's really interesting and keeps the series going alive and well. You can love Ezio Auditore more. Is the story better than II or I? Well, it has the same elements as II in storytelling due to a lot of political and superhero savings you have to do that makes sense in the context of this game. Does it have programming issues? Barely. It really depends on how CPUs react. However, in the near end, I was stuck in a neverending loop and the boss was stuttering and cannot hit them to progress the game so I had to restart the whole memory over. However, this is an awesome game still. 88%.

So many bugs and glitches and the login is terrible. I have to put in a password every time just to play the game. When I try to stream it or record it I have a black screen. You can't save like a normal game, there are certain things you have to do in game, which is really inconvenient. If you do something out of order, of which you can't tell if you are... you could find yourself in a desynchronization circle, and because there are no save points, you can't go back to certain cinamatics and replay the story. I don't recommend this game to anyone unless they are really patient, or they fix the bugs.

For me its not the Best game as if yet that For me the best AC Game is assassin's creed 3 although they remastered the game It still give's me nostalgia and How the graphics is made for assassin's creed 3 although this game is not the type i was expected in the photos though it was an old game i will still give it a 5/10 bc of how hard the devs prob spent making this game. But im not happy for not remastering the game
Unhappy Customer ;(

This is back when Ubisoft truly knew how to craft compelling narratives and immersive experiences. This game delivers one of the most memorable villain endings in gaming history. The final encounter with Cesare Borgia is a masterclass in simple yet powerful storytelling. After a long chase across Rome, Ezio corners Cesare at the edge of a fortress. In a moment filled with arrogance, Cesare defiantly declares, “I will not die by the hand of man!” convinced that he is invincible. Without hesitation, Ezio quietly ends it by pushing Cesare to his death, letting fate take over. The weight of this moment, combined with Cesare's self-delusion, creates a scene of profound closure. It’s a perfect example of a character's downfall, crafted to leave a lasting impression and achieving cinematic excellence that captures the heavy cost of power and pride.

A short summary of the AC universe.
In this part, the combat has reached perfection. In addition to realistic movement, parkour, climbing, control, beautiful combat with both hands and a sword and an ax with counterattacks that snatch the enemy's weapon, finish off, you can also continue to easily finish off everyone else, which was not the case in the first and second parts. You can not receive damage. This lasted until the part called Syndicate, then the series turned into a stupid slasher in which you receive damage even on easy difficulty. In Valhalla, this problem was fixed, but the masterpiece was not returned, in terms of beauty, realistic anatomical feeling and endless counterattacks that lay everyone around. In AC 3, it became even better in terms of receiving damage and it became possible to avoid shots, but the graphics and sense of movement deteriorated greatly, and many bugs appeared. And in Unity and Syndicate, the controls became very slow. It turns out that the best controls and combat in the gaming industry were in Brotherhood and Revelations, despite the fact that in the third the character is more controllable in combat. Plus, with Ezio there were interesting catacombs, tombs, a feeling of revealing secrets and very beautiful graphics and clothes with weapons, plus all sorts of Da Vinci products like a pistol and a parachute. There is the ending of Altair, Ezio, etc. But there is no general development of the story, to which all their sacrifices and efforts led. And the series became boring. The suffering that was always present in AC is replaying because of the incomprehensible stealth, hackwork in gameplay and because it is impossible without being constantly attacked when you just move around the world. Especially in the city and you simply cannot start the story mission. Plus Ubisoft began to make bad or ambiguous main characters, it is unpleasant and not useful to play for them, because of which I did not even try AC Mirage. But even with Altair and Ezio there was a problem of empty running around the world, monotony to the point of meticulousness and a strong plot, but weak direction. You received the most interesting weapon before the final credits, and there was no NG+. These minuses only grew with each part. And the graphics became muddy and faded. In Unity it became prettier. In Origins and Odyssey ng+ appeared, and in Valhalla it disappeared again. That's why Altair is strong because of its plausibility, and strong characters and ideas with graphics, the trilogy with Ezio also because of the beauty of the graphics, clothes, an interesting plot and the best combat in the gaming industry in Brotherhood and Revelations. The subsequent parts, in addition to the listed disadvantages, the plot and direction became weaker, they became some stories without development and ending for the general history of this universe.
So, this series, which on the one hand is a breakthrough and a masterpiece, but at the same time suffering, waste of time and a feeling of disrespect from the Ubisoft company. It got to the point that they simply started copying outposts and selling them for 100$, so I don’t buy their games anymore. Other companies left such an unpleasant impression less because they don’t have such series that you want to play on the one hand, but on the other hand you feel bad in their games. So I advise you to buy games at good discounts or play by subscription because you are unlikely to want to play this games again. And you also need to understand that only in GoG can you buy a game and not depend on the store. Even if the company stops supporting the game or the store closes, you will still have the game if you download the client. And these are PC games, so there are more options for voice acting in your language, saves, mods and 4k 60fps, it's not on consoles, it's rare. Even in games from 20 years ago. You can also play on a big TV remotely with gamepads. If Steam etc. closes you lose all the games you bought, and the PS5 changes to PS6 etc. and the games you bought become a thing of the past. So why buy them and for such a lot of money?
It would be best to make a balanced mix control and combat of Revelations and Odyssey with corrected dodging and parrying and the ability to parry ranged attacks like in Valhalla, so that it would be responsive like Odyssey, but anatomically realistic like Brotherhood and Revelations.

Brotherhood... is kinda a disappointment.
While Brotherhood is a nice jump in visual quality over AC2, it suffers in terms of story and presentation. The one map you explore, while quite large, is riddled with impassable cliffs that are not marked on your map. They try to remedy the huge map with fast travel but the fast travel menu is actually terrible. So navigation is a complete chore in the end.
Also there are so many tailing missions its actually horrendous. And a lot of times a mission requires you to follow a friendly NPC but my god I timed some of those segments and they can go as long as 5+ minutes of walking at a brisk-ish pace. This makes 100% synch a miserable experience that I decided early on that it would not be worth going for. This is made ESPECIALLY bad because if you fail a synch objective you cant just go back to the last checkpoint. Oh nonono that would be too easy. You need to restart the ENTIRE mission. And a lot of them have those walking segments at the beginning. Nuh-uh. Not happening.
The main reason I am so disappointed is the Steam store page frames Brotherhood as a game where the focus would be restoring Rome and maybe customizing it a bit, and raising baby assassins and maybe playing as them on missions or taking them with you as a buddy to get them exp and changing their clothes and stuff but I was dead wrong.
The "Restoration" that I was expecting turned out to be having to buy a shop before being able to buy from it. that's it. A first time purchase store tax.
As for raising assassins? You send them on missions and they come back after a set amount of playtime and gain experience so you can send them out again. The customization feature? You can choose their robes color. Until they reach rank 10. when they get to 10 they all have the same robes Ezio has. You can't even change the colors or anything so they take away the modicum of customization you have of them.
What a let-down.

love the game, solid 9/10. I cannot recommend you buy it though because i physically cannot open the game, i press play and it starts up i get to a screen thats white and black then it crashes, every single time. dont buy this. ubisoft connect F'd it all up.

I used to love this game, played a lot on console. I can't recommend buying this on PC because of Ubisoft, Ubisoft Connect, and an uncertain future for the ability to continue playing this and their other titles.

Plus, No family share.

I would definitely recommend this game to people who haven't yet had the opportunity to play this. Keep in mind that as of right now, the online servers are no longer operational so the deluxe DLC that perhaps you could buy or could have bought, no longer works. Now it requires mods to be functional. It is simply because the game is old so they are not working on it as much as they are the newer games.

Main story is super bad. But, the game have a lot of side content that's actually good. But, seriously Main Story has a lot of padding. It's a shame coming to this game immediately after AC2, where the story and characters have such a memorable writing to them.

AC Brotherhood is the only AC game I hadn't played fully until now. I never got to finish it, as my Xbox was destroyed in a flood a bit after I started playing it. Playing it now, I can say I was missing out. The improvements on AC2 are very welcomed. Free running is more well defined than it was in AC 1 or 2, and the game is absolutely gorgeous, even for it's age. This is peak Assassins Creed.

it was fine for a while. Stopped playing and now the Ubisoft Launcher asks password every time! this game has become a nightmare to play on my steam deck. the game is good however:
1. no cloud saves
2. prompt for password and 2factor everytime, this is a nightmare on steamdeck
3. always online
Pirates here are getting the best deal than ppl that actually bought it. last time I give money to Ubisoft.
