    Comparado con Assassin's Creed II es como comparar un suspiro con una lista de tareas (y aun así prefiero el suspiro).

    The controls are minimal by design, no jump button clutter, just movement and that chirp, and it holds up fine on every platform I tried it on.

    People act like walking through sand and occasionally flying is some kind of masterpiece design, when's the last time anyone actually replayed it for the gameplay and not the vibes?

    Moi aussi j'ai eu du mal à en parler après, comme si les mots cassaient quelque chose.

    I keep coming back to how short my time with it was, like barely an afternoon, and yet somehow it sits in my head next to games I spent fifty hours on, which honestly still confuses me a little when I think about it too hard.

    I played it late one night with the lights off, just me and the sand and that mountain in the distance, and honestly I didn't say a word to anyone about it for days, felt weird to even try.

    Lo rejugué hace poco pensando que me pegaría igual que la primera vez y la verdad es que se sintió más vacío de lo que recordaba.
