Why We Love Video Games
The reason why we love games....
Video games allow us to become someone else....
While allowing us to become something outside of our normal life......
That is the beautiful part of gaming.
It's hard to find those games that can appeal to the nostalgia personality in me.
But thankfully, I have found a few titles that seem to give me that feeling, even as an older gamer.
Assassin's Creed Titles That I Love
Yes, I became a fan of Assassin's Creed because of these titles.
Mainly because these titles give me the feel of those old Nintendo, Genesis type of view perspectives.
Check out the trailer below from the Ubisoft YouTube Channel.
If you are unfamiliar with these titles, there are three in the series that are called the Assassin's Creed Chronicles.
These games are based in China, India, and Russia.
Not to go into the history of the Assassin's Creed franchise, but these titles were a departure from the norm and a welcome departure in my opinion.
The three games feature the narrative of 3 unique characters:
- Shao Jun - A former concubine turned assassin that seeks revenge on the Tigers that seek to end the Brotherhood, while contending with the Mongolian invasion toward the Great Wall Of China.
- Arbaaz Mir - An assassin that is looking to save the love of his life from Templar control while navigating through the war torn environment of India.
- Nikolai Orelev - An assassin looking to leave the brotherhood until he gets caught into a plot of deception from the brotherhood and the Industrial Revolution in Russia.
These games, for whatever reason, give me that feeling of the 2D perspective that Nintendo games were infamous for.
And the artwork is absolutely wonderful for these games.
While the game is actually in 2.5D, it gives me that Nintendo, early Genesis vibe that keeps me coming back for more.
Here is some gameplay for my favorite of the 3 games, Assassin's Creed Chronicles:China

Conclusion
I am always looking for games that provide me with that feeling of being a child and that can take me back to those games of yesterday.
Assassin's Creed Chronicles do that for me.
Even though some may feel a certain type of way about this, it is what I love and I am glad to have played these titles.
They are for the Xbox and PlayStation.
