Three games, one price. And probably the best Assassin's Creed games in the whole franchise. No money to buy a vacation? This collection gives you the feeling that you're actually walking in Italy.

Ezio Auditore, one of the most charismatic characters of recent times, is back with an essential compilation... for those who have not played it yet.

The Ezio Collection is a great bundle with three great games, but that's really all it is. Newer fans of Assassin's Creed that have missed out should absolutely check this out but fans that experienced it years ago really don't have much of a reason to pick this up.

Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection reminds us of how good, in terms of plot, environments beauty and overall charisma, were the Ezio Auditore episodes of the series. It does this without adding anything new or fixing the original games problems, though, so it's only suggested if you're willing to turn a blind eye on some pretty bad character models and animations and stiff gameplay mechanics, especially in the first two games of the collection.

Overall, this collection is recommended more for those who missed these games the first time around. Keep in mind, though, that you'll be playing the games more for the story than the gameplay. It's hard to put up with some of the frustrations of the controls and the limitations of the game worlds when things have come so far in the series since these games were first released. If you've played them all before, there's not a compelling reason to return unless you're an Assassin's Creed completist or the series is among your absolute favorites.

The Ezio Collection is a solid package of three incredibly well-designed games. Probably the best set to remaster for the new generation, but the port is not the best, and if you already beat them all, this is more a trip down memory lane than anything else.

Just a bad use of Ubisoft’s talent pool, and a worse use of gamers’ hard-earned money.
