We have a target in our sights: A man who calls himself The Banker. With our network of contacts, it shouldn’t take long to find him.

I know the tailing missions were among the least popular missions in Assassin’s Creed, but they are the moments where the series best embodies the power fantasy that exists at its core. As the player uses crowds and factions to distract the guards and obfuscate their own presence in the world, they take on the persona of this silent killer stalking their prey until an opportunity presents itself.
As I replay these games, I find myself enjoying them far more than I remember, chiefly because they give me that sense of empowerment that I crave, moreso than the fantasy of just slaughtering hundreds of soldiers just to get to one person.
And now that we’ve arrived at the party, next time we’ll crash it.
