Assassin's Creed: The Essential Guide Hardcover – Illustrated, 31 Jan. 2020

Aimed at fans and newcomers to the franchise, this guide gives a lot of information covering: characters, locations, timelines and technologies from the games, graphic novels and even internet based instalments such as Initiates. This is an updated version of the Essential Guide from 2016, now including Origins and Odyssey as well as the more recent comic storylines. Whilst most of the previous articles and pictures have stayed the same the printing quality is slightly clearer and some sections have been expanded upon to include the last three years' worth of updates.Beautifully printed in full colour, with a matte finish, the images are crisp and the writing is clear and there’s no useless padding of blank spaces to make this book seem like it’s got more in it. The layout is simple and easy to navigate, and makes use of in game hexagonal icons next to chapter titles at the top of each page that seasoned fans will recognise. This book is crammed with concept art, comic panels, game imagery and detailed articles that provide key information about Assassin’s Creed and how the various media all tie in together.This is not a game walkthrough or strategy guide, it does not cover gaming platforms or controls etc but it does contain spoilers for the whole series.

This book is so full and rich of lore, a lot of which I never knew about. It's all presented in a very pleasant and readable way with lots of artwork some of which I believe is unique to the book.

It is a must-have, not only for every AC fan, but for everyone to admire the content.

Really nice book. Lots of info great for assassin’s creed lovers. Looks good on my book shelf aswell
