Assassin’s Creed: Revelations hasn’t many new revelations

Assassin’s Creed: Revelations feels tired. In part, this is a thematic choice. Ezio Auditore’s an old man now- a genuinely old man, not simply artificially aged or decrepit, which makes him relatively unusual among game protagonists.

You look to your fellow gamers for aid that would take them half of a second to complete yet they continue to just run into the wall, have 6 snipers on a team of 7 players, or continue to gather resources and ignore the incoming invasion.
