We may be the most wanted man in all of Venezia, but that’s no problem when it’s Carnevale.
At last, we finally obtain one of my favorite upgrades for our arsenal: The Hidden Gun. It was one of the first things unveiled to us in the market thanks to the E3 trailer, and it’s a logical extension and evolution of the Hidden Blade. Arguably, the only reason it doesn’t break the game is the slow startup time and limited ammo, but the ability to handle targets at range is very useful (and we’ll see in the next episode).
And as I said in the episode, it is easy to joke and jape about Ezio’s mask being the reason he can go out in public despite being easily identifiable through his assassin’s robes, but it is especially funny where one can barely see the mask underneath the hood of said robes.
Despite that, I don’t mind it as a storytelling convenience, since we’ve already accepted that Ezio can blend into crowds effortlessly despite wearing such ostentatious attire. What I do mind though is the conceit with the Golden Mask, which we’ll get into next time.
