Articles The Problems with Assassin’s Creed The Problems with Assassin’s Creed Assassin’s Creed, while a very large and popular franchise suffers from some issues that are making fans question whether it’s even worth buying. By Andrew Duncan I ’ve mentioned in another article how I felt betrayed by Assassin’s Creed II, where two story sections were “locked” until purchased via DLC, and that was the last game of the series I played. However, it wasn’t the last one that I bought, as my wife absolutely loves the games. Before I get into it as a bit of an outsider to the series, let me make it clear: I have watched my wife play six Assassin’s Creed titles to death, spread across the Xbox 360 and PS3. She hasn’t played Unity yet, but has finished up Rogue without too much trouble. When I played the original Assassin’s Creed, I thought the Animus was a great idea. Completely sci-fi technology, allowing gamers to experience history. It’s fictionalised, but I like a bit of historical fiction comics do it all the time.
