Game Tech: Assassin’s Creed goes all Greek

When I showed my aunt Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, she said: “It’s all Greek to me.” For once, she and gaming were on the same page. The latest entry to Ubisoft’s seemingly perpetual series will take place in Ancient Greece, a setting fans have long anticipated.
Assassin’s Creed has taken some interesting turns during its ten-year history. The first entry was janky but promising,with excellent platforming sections but poor combat and a limited world to explore. The second game, however, delivered on all fronts, creating the open world historical toy-box we are still playing today. In Assassin’s Creed II, we were introduced to the Renaissance — not only in terms of the time period, but for the series itself too.
