Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood picks up the story directly after the events of Assassin’s Creed II, emphasizing the theme of strength through unity against the enemy. Familiar faces from Ezio’s previous journey return, alongside new conflicts that deepen the Auditore family's involvement in the Assassin cause. Strategic choices, subtle humor, and Ezio’s resilience make him an even more charismatic and memorable protagonist.

The story in Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood feels much more focused, both in terms of location and character development. The action is confined exclusively to Rome and the Vatican, creating a tighter and more coherent setting. Characters become more memorable as players reunite with figures from Assassin’s Creed II, now placed in a more mature and refined narrative context. Relationships are explored with greater depth, and every ally or enemy has a clearly defined role, delivering a more intense and personal storytelling experience.

On the gameplay side, the improvements are visible, enhancing both mechanical depth and visual presentation. While Ezio previously invested in the renovation of the Auditore Villa, he now has the opportunity to revitalize the entire city of Rome. The economic system feels more meaningful, offering useful ways to manage resources all the way to the campaign’s conclusion.

A standout new feature is the ability to recruit Assassins, who can then be trained and sent on missions across Europe. This mechanic adds a strategic layer and truly reinforces the feeling of building and leading a growing Brotherhood.

The story of Assassin’s Creed II picks up right after the events of the first game, but this time, our present-day protagonist, Desmond Miles, steps into the shoes of Ezio Auditore da Firenze. Unlike Altair, Ezio is portrayed as a charismatic and emotional character, coming from a large and loving family—until a devastating betrayal pushes him onto the path of the Assassins.

Ezio’s journey is a coming-of-age story, showing his transformation from a reckless young noble into a skilled and determined Assassin. This progression is not only crucial for Ezio but also serves as a learning experience for Desmond, helping him understand what it truly means to be an Assassin. Thanks to Ezio’s compelling personality and emotional depth, the player feels a stronger connection to him compared to Altair, who was more distant and reserved in the first game. The overarching narrative involving Templars, Assassins, and divine entities is well-crafted and engaging.

From a gameplay perspective, the new mechanics are refreshing and add depth to the experience. The introduction of currency, lootable items, and diverse assassination techniques is a welcome improvement. However, some aspects feel slightly unbalanced: shops are more numerous, yet they lack diversity in their offerings; monetization is overly abundant, allowing players to accumulate wealth quickly and reach financial max-out too soon; and while Villa Auditore is a great concept, its renovation system feels somewhat limited, as upgrades are completed relatively quickly.

One of the more awkward design choices lies in the notification system. Important messages appear in large, clunky text boxes with odd text alignment, making them look out of place. While this might not affect the overall gameplay, small details like this can impact immersion and polish.

Assassin’s Creed II is a significant step forward from its predecessor, offering a more engaging protagonist, a richer world, and refined mechanics. While it has some minor flaws in UI design and economic balancing, the overall experience is a must-play for fans of the series.

The first Assassin’s Creed game revolves around a sacred relic, with the main character gathering information that leads him to assassinate nine targets in order to restore his lost honor. While the premise is interesting, the narrative itself isn’t particularly complex—it mostly serves as a setup for the assassinations.

I really enjoyed the combat, which has a nice cinematic feel, and the parkour, which works well, especially during escape sequences. I opted to play with a controller instead of a keyboard because the PC port is not very intuitive. Additionally, I encountered a freezing issue that, thankfully, was easily fixed after a quick Google search (Ubisoft, maybe fix this?).

The game world, both in the present and the past, feels somewhat empty when it comes to object interaction. The main activities include climbing towers to reveal city events and helping other assassins. Honestly, I didn’t expect so many helpless assassins—our protagonist feels more like a jack-of-all-trades rather than a member of an elite order.

Assassin’s Creed 1 is a promising start to the series, but it doesn’t shine through its story. It’s worth playing more for the gameplay and atmosphere rather than an engaging narrative.

Dota 2, ohhh Dota 2, you, the parent of the MOBA genre.

I started playing it knowing that it would be a challenge in terms of mechanics, but perhaps that is part of its charm – having the determination and patience to learn its mechanics and subtleties. In the past, I have tried other MOBA games, but I can confidently say that Dota 2 feels different. It is much more dynamic, much more chaotic, and this chaos gives it a high level of enjoyment and satisfaction.

On the community side, I have been fortunate to meet quality players who have demonstrated good conduct, with whom I have managed to build long-lasting collaborations in the game. Being able to develop strategies and coordinate with these players has provided me with an even deeper gaming experience.

The way Dota 2 delivers action and gaming experiences proves that the team behind it knows how to do their job well. While it doesn’t deliver content very frequently, each update adds value and refinement to the game. As the saying goes, “great things come in small packages.”

In conclusion, Dota 2 is, in my opinion, a true work of art. It is a diamond in the current gaming landscape, and I am convinced it will remain just as brilliant over time. If you haven’t tried it yet, or maybe you’ve only played it for a short period, I encourage you to give it another chance. This masterpiece deserves every minute spent in its complex and fascinating universe.

The main questline, centered around finding the player character's missing son, has been described by some as lacking depth and failing to provide the same level of intricate storytelling and moral complexity seen in previous Fallout games. The storyline can feel predictable at times, with fewer surprises and fewer opportunities for impactful decision-making.

While the presence of bugs and technical issues, as well as a simpler story, can be seen as drawbacks, it's important to consider the overall experience and the enjoyment that players can derive from the gameplay, world-building, and customization options that Fallout 4 offers. With a mix of exploration, combat, and base-building mechanics, the game provides a solid foundation for post-apocalyptic role-playing, even if it may not reach the same heights as its predecessors in terms of narrative complexity and technical polish.

Experiencing power armor in Fallout 4 is an awe-inspiring and visually striking adventure. Stepping into the hulking metal frame of the power armor suit is a transformative moment that instantly makes you feel like a formidable force in the wasteland.

Armor on and let's fight.

With its solid storytelling, well-rounded characters, and immersive atmosphere, A New Frontier is a worthwhile addition to The Walking Dead franchise.

The Walking Dead: Michonne offers fans of the series a chance to dive into the personal story of one of its most intriguing characters. Michonne's journey, filled with compelling narrative moments and intense action sequences, allows players to connect with her on a deeper level.

It's a must-play for fans of The Walking Dead and a testament to the enduring popularity of this beloved character.
