The Assassin's Creed franchise is filled with amazing real locations. Here are 10 of the most beautiful to visit across all of the games.

In the original Assassin’s Creed, the line between combatants and civilians was clearly defined. The first game used its lore as an excuse to prevent players from killing random civilians, citing any unendorsed killing as a disruption of prewritten history. In Shadows, the distinction is murkier. And the kills, messier.

I used to be the sentimental type in video games. For instance, if a certain character offered you a weapon—a keepsake—I would hang on to that weapon for as long as possible. Something like Naoe’s starting katana would be the kind of thing that I’d stubbornly hold onto for far too long.
