Turbo Pug has received an all-around upgrade. If you didn't curse out loud enough at the original Turbo Pug then give this one a shot.

I have over 600 games on Steam. This one is my favorite. I'm more of a cat person than a pug person, but fortunately for me that is accounted for in this masterpiece.

This game provides a lot of what I feel like could be done and is missing from the AC series. The battles are fast-paced and sometimes long, but you never feel underpowered. Voice work is really good and cutscenes are fun to watch. The story is there, but should not be the reason for purchasing. The various ways of terrorizing the camps is great entertainment and planning my strike is a good part of the fun.

The difficulty so far seems a bit on the easy side, but it is not a big deal for me. I still die sometimes and changes take place in the orc hierarchy. I highly recommend this if you want a game with a lot of action, necessary stealth tactics, and have a desire to explode or decapitate something. You will do the latter many, many times and it doesn't seem to get any less entertaining.

For reference, I have an AMD fx 8350 processor, 32gb of RAM, and a Geforce GTX 760. I do not have this game installed on my SSD, but I get very good performance playing it from my SATA HDD. The game seems to be very well optimized and I have not seen any exceptionally long load times or lag even with many mobs on-screen at one time.

I hope you buy this game, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I am.

This is the first Assassin's Creed that I have tried and I chose this one based on what seems to be popular opinion. I was excited to try it for myself. The game is terrific but getting the download to launch was inconvenient at best.

This game requires Ubi Soft's Uplay software to launch. After downloading Assassin's Creed II from Steam, the software will install itself and attempt to launch the game. I don't know if this works for others, but it did not work for me. I uninstalled the Uplay software that Steam installed and downloaded a current version directly from Ubisoft. I registered an account on Uplay and then relaunched Assassin's Creed II from the Steam client. This worked and I was able to play.

The content of the game itself is very good and the extra steps are worth it. Popular opinion wins.
