Batman Arkham Asylum was released, and I covered it in another video on my channel. My overall thoughts were that It had a great atmosphere, combat, stealth, and a pretty decent story. Arkham City was released a few years later. It did a fantastic job building upon the foundation set in Arkham Asylum. I had planned to make a video on Arkham City a few months ago. However, my 40 hours of footage got corrupted, and I basically rage quit the video. Arkham Origins came out, and many of you did not like it and felt it didn't do much to improve on the Arkham formula. Arkham Origins was developed by Warner Brothers Montreal. It was meant to be a sort of filler game while rocksteady, the developers who created both Arkham asylum and City, were working on the grand finale to the Arkham series, Arkham Knight.
Now there are a lot of criticisms people have with the game. I want to clarify that while this is a defence, and while a lot of people have strong opinions on the flaws of the game, they didn't say that the game was terrible, well, most of them didn't. The general consensus was the game wasn't the Arkham Swansong that they were expecting, and due to multiple reasons, which I will get into, they felt disappointed. I personally feel like this is the perfect Batman game, and on top of that, I think it is the only Batman game that truly lives up to the series tagline of "Be the batman."
I want to address every criticism that people have made against this game, and while some of them are valid, others I am confident I can reasonably counter. Of course, there is an element of subjectivity to all of this, so I don't think you're wrong if you didn't enjoy Arkham Knight and you are entitled to that opinion just as much as everyone else so please be civil in the comments. I also want to clearly state that I am playing this on a PS4 Pro.
I must clarify that, like always, there will be spoilers ahead. The game came out five years ago now, and if you haven't played it, I implore you to give it a shot as it's quite cheap now. A lot of this video is going to be going on the assumption that you have played at least one Arkham game. Hence, if you haven't played any of them, stop the video and give it a shot.

![Assassins Creed II: Unpolished & Unrefined
Ive been wanting to make this video for a while now but didnt really know how to structure it without seeming like I hate this game but I think this gets my point across well enough. This is the first video of mine that isnt super positive so if you want some more positivity you can check out my other Assassins Creed videos,

Assassin’s Creed is one of the most prominent series of games in my life. Since the release of Assassin’s Creed two, I was totally on board with the franchise and purchased every new release when it came out. I loved seeing Ezios journey come to a close in Assassin’s Creed Revelations. I loved pillaging ships and discovering treasure in Assassins Creed Black Flag. I loved Assassins Creed Unity’s improved stealth, combat, and parkour and the game was absolute eye candy. I even enjoyed the complete shift to a more RPG heavy game that Assassins Creed Origins and Assassins Creed Odyssey took. Assassin’s Creed Two, however... well... I don’t really like Assassin’s Creed Two. Of course, a great deal can be said for the way Assassin’s Creed Two improved on the first game as it clearly refined the mechanics of Assassin’s Creed One and by all means serves as a good sequel.
The graphics were great for the time and even to this day still look pretty good and the world and costume design are arguably top notch. However, the game definitely has its flaws which made it an ultimately unenjoyable experience for me.
I found that Assassin’s Creed Two’s gameplay was quite dull and even lacking in some cases. The stealth was borderline non-existent and whatever semblance of stealth there was isn’t fleshed out or even given to the player all the time. The combat felt repetitive and I got a sense that I had seen just about everything the combat had to offer by the end of the first few missions. The parkour while ambitious is quite janky and jank is one of my biggest issues with the game. Having to restart missions and being detected by enemies across the map was ultimately the cherry on top for my mind-numbing replay of this game. Drawn out sequences, bugs, and a myriad of other things left me feeling like this game was a trip down memory lane, that I would never go down again.
Assassins Creed II is a 2009 action-adventure video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft.[1] It is the second major installment in the Assassins Creed series, a sequel to 2007s Assassins Creed. The game was first released on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in November 2009 and was later made available on Microsoft Windows in March 2010 and OS X in October 2010.
The plot is set in a fictional history setting and follows the centuries-old struggle between the Assassins, who fight for peace with free will, and the Knights Templars, who desire peace through control. The framing story is set in the 21st century and follows Desmond Miles as he relives the genetic memories of his ancestor Ezio Auditore da Firenze. The main narrative takes place at the height of the Renaissance in Italy during the 15th and early 16th centuries. Players can explore Florence, Venice, Tuscany and Forlì as they guide Ezio on a quest for vengeance against those responsible for betraying his family. The primary focus is to use the players combat and stealth abilities, as Desmond begins to uncover the mysteries left behind by an ancient race known as the First Civilization in the hope of ending the conflict between the Assassins and Templars.
I hope we can soon see assassins creed Valhalla
Assassins Creed Two is still a good game, I am just not a fan of Assassins Creed Two. I enjoyed every other game in the Assassins Creed franchise with Assassins Creed Unity being favourite. Unfortunatley this game is unpolished and unrefined. Assassins Creed II: Unpolished & Unrefined](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/WdGEXXUew0A/mqdefault.jpg)
