Assassins Creed

Historical stabbing game

Assassin's Creed is a video game franchise launched in 2007, featuring action-adventure gameplay set across historical periods from ancient Egypt to the American Revolution.

Players typically control assassins fighting a secret war against the Templars.

The series is known for parkour-style movement, stealth mechanics, and recreations of historical cities: I've been playing Assassin's Creed all weekend.
