Assassin's Creed Identity

Assassin’s Creed Identity is one of the most deluxe iOS experience you can play, making it a must have. There are also in-app purchases that have no bearing on your progression through the entire game.

Assassin’s Creed Identity is not a terrible game mechanically, but it’s not fantastic either. It suffers on the grounds that it was ever conceived, to be honest. It’s not a game we really needed, and not a game that further expands the universe by offering a mobile option. It also commits some of the most cardinal sins of mobile games related to popular console franchises: It oversimplifies, costs too much to include premium currency, and it’s lackluster. I’d rather see another Assassin’s Creed every year than lackluster mobile translations, which is all this amounts to.

Assassin's Creed Identity has a minor identity crisis. It's hard to say what it actually is, but I think Ubisoft has managed to distill the formula down to the most basic level possible, and created an AC arcade game that's even more muted than the recent Chronicles offerings. Only those who haven't tired of the setup need apply.
