Assassin's Creed Brotherhood
Assassin's Creed Brotherhood
Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, développé par Ubisoft Montreal et édité par Ubisoft Entertainment, est sorti le 16 novembre 2010 sur PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC et Mac. Ce jeu d'action-aventure, classé également dans les genres aventure et réflexion, plonge le joueur dans la peau d'Ezio Auditore, Maître Assassin devant faire face à l'Ordre des Templiers à Rome, centre du pouvoir corrupteur des Borgia. Suite aux événements d'Assassin's Creed II, Ezio survit au siège de Monteriggioni mené par Cesare Borgia et l'armée papale, puis reconstruit la Confrérie des Assassins en recrutant des citoyens pour éliminer les alliés de Cesare. En parallèle, Desmond Miles revit ces souvenirs via l'Animus afin de localiser un artefact capable d'éviter une catastrophe imminente. Le titre introduit un mode multijoueur inédit où les joueurs incarnent divers personnages aux armes et techniques distinctes. La campagne solo propose plus de quinze heures d'exploration de Rome, avec la possibilité de diriger une confrérie, d'utiliser des armes secrètes et de restaurer la ville. La presse a salué l'œuvre, Eurogamer évoquant une combinaison maîtrisée des éléments de la série et le Telegraph qualifiant le jeu de meilleure entrée de la franchise et de l'un des meilleurs de 2010, tandis que certains joueurs sur Steam le perçoivent comme une suite très directe du second opus, voire un grand DLC. Le jeu affiche un score Metacritic de 88 et une note agrégée de 86,35.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« A masterful combination of the many things that have striven to define the series in the past, each presented at its best and accentuated by considered design. »
« Brotherhood is the franchise's best entry to date and one of the best games of 2010. »
« What makes the multiplayer so much fun is the constant balance between being the hunter and the prey. Stalking enemies around the map is a lot of fun (even when I end up on the business end of a blade before I can make my kill), and patience has never been so important. »
« Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood brings to the table so much more than was ever expected. Not only is it perhaps the best in the franchise, but is also an easy Game of the Year candidate. »
« Brotherhood lacks that generational leap we saw from Assassin's Creed to Assassin's Creed II, but it more than makes up for that with a full-bodied single-player experience teeming with interesting gameplay additions and a risky multiplayer component. »
« This is a fantastic game, but only if you desperately crave the second half of the Assassin's Creed 2 experience. If you hated the original game, there's nothing here to sway you and the story certainly doesn't welcome newcomers. The multiplayer adds a nice diversion. »
« With a campaign worthy of sequel status and a multiplayer mode full of fresh, entertaining ideas, there isn't enough praise I can lay on AC: Brotherhood. »
« It amazes me that a game of this caliber – that is to say, a game that is ridiculously good in spite of its missteps – comes just one year after its predecessor. It improves a lot, adds even more, and changes nothing I already adored. It's a shorter game than Assassin's Creed 2, if that matters, but aside from the storyline it's better in almost every way. »

« Brotherhood is a direct continuation of Assassin’s Creed II, and it makes sense that they didn’t number it, because it’s basically the same game with some improvements. Visually, there’s a noticeable upgrade in the modeling of faces and clothing, although everything else remains the same. The music also feels improved. Another improvement—or rather, an addition—is a cinematic camera used in certain scenes, which honestly works very well. The Brotherhood system, while quite simple, was something I liked, and I also enjoyed the full synchronization mechanic. However, there are also things I liked less: The story is not only shorter, but also less interesting, and on top of that, the map is filled with too many side activities—which, to be honest, I didn’t bother doing. And here, dear fans, I have a confession to make: in both this game and the previous one, I focused only on the main story, since my goal was just to refresh my memory before playing the one I hadn’t completed from the trilogy: Revelations, which I do intend to fully complete and explore as much as possible. And finally: just like the previous game, this one ends with a scene that leaves you wanting more. Nota: 7- »

« It feels like a DLC to AC 2. Villain is kinda flat in general but it’s a short solid story »
« I don't know why but the gameplay didn't resonate with me. Graphis are great, mechanics are interesting but it's just that I couldnt get myself to play it more. Would like to give it one more try though.... »

« I played it right in the middle of the pandemic, and honestly, that's why I have a special fondness for it. At that time, I had a lot of free time and few things to do, and this game became a kind of escape for me. I'd lose track of time in Rome without even realizing it, enjoying every detail. It was the first game in the series that I played, and I also decided to follow the story in chronological order, so starting with this one made me connect with Ezio from the very beginning. I liked that he's no longer the typical young character, but someone more experienced who leads an entire brotherhood, which gives the story more weight. What hooked me the most was being able to recruit assassins and send them on missions. It's not just about advancing yourself, but about feeling like you're building something bigger. I also loved rebuilding Rome little by little; it gives a very satisfying feel to the progress. The atmosphere is incredible, the music is a great complement, and the story is quite enjoyable. Some mechanics might feel a bit dated today, but at the time (and for me) it was an amazing **** short, I have a lot of nostalgia for it. I don't know if it's just because of the game or the time I played it, but I enjoyed it immensely and it was definitely a great way to start with the saga. »
« Assassin's Creed Brotherhood is a significant upgrade to Assassin's Creed 2, with major improvements along the game. The Parkour, and combat have better balance for the player to use and be more free. The game starts off very strong quickly after the events of AC2 and gives amazing way to reset yourself throughout the game. Ezio has matured and developed better, and to avenge the rest of his long gone family throughout the trilogy. The game has amazing visuals and graphics that still hold up, and have this nostalgic feeling to them. The story is well paced, and structured like the 2nd game but, a little shorter in some routes. The story isn't as emotionally compelling or as amazing as the 2nd game, but it shows what Ezio tries to put himself in to evolve himself further, and by reuniting the brotherhood into a stronger foundation. The ending was not my personal favorite, but I think that's only because of the cliffhanger ending it had, and just a major mystery. Anyway this was my full review of Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, and if you read this review thank you. »
