Assassin’s Creed II: Discovery on DS is basically the sneaky little sibling of the console games—smaller scale, but still packed with that classic AC vibe. You’re Ezio again, but this time you’re hopping across 15th-century Spain, blending into crowds, shanking Templars, and pulling off those satisfying rooftop escapes. The controls are surprisingly smooth for a DS game—swipe the stylus to counter attacks, tap to climb—and the 2.5D perspective keeps things fast without feeling cramped.

What I didn’t expect? The story actually holds up. It slots right between AC2 and Brotherhood, with some legit historical cameos (looking at you, Christopher Columbus). Missions mix stealth and brawling, though you’ll wanna stick to shadows—getting swarmed by guards on those tiny screens is brutal. Pro tip: Upgrade your hidden blades early. You’ll thank me later.

It’s not as deep as the main games, but for a DS spin-off, it nails the assassin fantasy without overcomplicating things. Just don’t expect Venice-level vistas.
