"This map is pretty big!"
Ben in the game could not help but sigh.
He swam along the Arno River for a long time before finding a place to go ashore.
And this Florence map really looks quite big.
But most places have not been explored.
Only after he and his brother climbed to the top of the tower and took a bird's-eye view did they unlock some local map information.
Obviously, this part is the same as in Zelda.
Players need to climb to the bird's-eye view point and then sync to unlock the current map information.
Another thing that amazed Ben was the many details in the game.
Before, when he went to see Cristina and was chased and fled, Ben didn't observe carefully.
Now, climbing up from the river, Ben can observe this world carefully while following the mission's guidance to return home.
Very real.
However, this reality comes from the creation of some details.
Like the previous "Uncharted", the most impressive thing for him was the town in Madagascar.
The super-high picture accuracy, coupled with the modern city, made him feel quite real.
But that was after all a modern scene.
But the current "Assassin's Creed" gave Ben a very real sense of history.
The Renaissance architecture, clothing, including the performance of passers-by on the streets, all showed Ben a sense of reality.
Everything around seemed to exist in reality, the Florence Cathedral, Giotto's Campanile, the Baptistery of San Giovanni, the Basilica of Santa Croce, the Basilica of San Lorenzo, the Ponte Vecchio, the Pitti Palace, and so on...
In the streets and alleys of Florence, countless residents with different clothes and merchants all have their own residences.
During the day, all NPCs are carrying out their respective activities. Like "Red Dead Redemption: Redemption", each NPC has a very complete lifestyle.
Some people went towards the church square, some went towards the city gate, and some went towards a place of entertainment called "Rose of Desire," obviously wanting to relax their bodies a little.
In reality, it is impossible to know what the scenery of Florence in the Renaissance was like.
But in "Assassin's Creed", players can personally enter this constructed world and feel the unique charm of that period.
After looking at everything around and admiring it for a while, Ben also controlled Ezio to run towards the mission objective.
"Ezio! Do you think I'm deaf and blind? I know about your conflict with Vieri yesterday, and the episode with Cristina!"
"Do you know? Your behavior is unacceptable! This...this..."
Giovanni looked at Ezio in front of him, looking very indignant, and waved his right fist twice in the air.
And the originally unruly Ezio also lowered his head when facing his father.
Looking at Ezio being lectured, although he was playing the protagonist in the game, Ben still felt a little happy.
After all, he controlled the running and fighting, so why didn't he let him control the chasing after women?
But the next moment, Giovanni's words made Ben understand why Ezio was like a hoodlum.
Giovanni, who was originally angry, suddenly changed his style and patted Ezio on the shoulder: "This reminds me of when I was your age!"
Ben complained.
And the next words were a series of family tasks, although they were all trivial things, but they made Ben feel quite warm.
For example, helping his younger brother collect feathers.
This can also be regarded as a collection element in the game, but what made Ben speechless was that Ezio asked his younger brother what he was going to do with the collected feathers, and the other party even kept it a secret, saying that he would not tell Ezio until he had collected them all.
And helping his sister teach her cheating boyfriend a lesson.
Climbing along the eaves of the house, he also successfully found a bird's-eye view point and unlocked the surrounding map information.
At the same time, Ben also noticed one thing, that is, when performing leaps of faith from the bird's-eye view point, they would all fall into floats or haystacks.
Ben summarized in his mind, but now he didn't have time to practice his conjecture, because he still had a mission to do.
Arriving at the location of the square, he triggered a cutscene animation. Ezio's sister's boyfriend was obviously a scumbag. When Ezio found him, he saw him flirting with a fat girl.
"There must be something wrong with this person's taste."
Ben thought about the model of Ezio's sister, and then looked at the object of cheating on this scumbag, and immediately felt speechless.
After entering the battle part, Ben did not choose to use defensive counterattacks to execute, after all, he wanted to teach this guy who bullied his sister a good lesson, so he chose to grab him and use his knee to hit the opponent's vital parts.
But what Ben found most interesting was the final task related to his mother.
It turned out to be going to Leonardo da Vinci to get a painting.
Yes, it was that da Vinci who completed "Mona Lisa's Smile".
Of course, da Vinci at this time was still an unknown artist, who had just finished his apprenticeship as Verrocchio's apprentice.
This made Ben feel very surprised.
At first, he thought it was just a fictional Renaissance world.
You know, da Vinci is a real historical figure.
And from the relevant introduction that just popped up, the game didn't say anything about magically changing Leonardo da Vinci's life experience.
It was still introduced very completely, even including the point that people accused him of liking men.
Holding da Vinci's painting to go home, listening to Ezio's mother chatting with da Vinci on the way.
Da Vinci at this time showed a tendency to study anatomy. There were some things Ben knew, and some things he didn't understand very well.
But from this simple small plot and interlude, he could understand that "Assassin's Creed" was obviously not a completely fictional historical background.
Then he helped his father retrieve some letters, but what Ben found strange was that everyone was mysterious, like a riddle person.
And when Ezio returned home, a huge change happened.
His father, brother, and younger brother were all arrested, and only his sister and mother survived with the help of the servants at home.
"Damn, what's going on, the whole family is in jail!?" Looking at this plot, Ben couldn't help but be startled.
He didn't know why, but he suddenly had a bad feeling.
Not heartwarming, a plot similar to Uncharted?
