I purchased Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection, because it was 30 dollars. However, I underestimated how attached I would grow to Ezio after so many hours playing as him. After beating Revelations, I was at a loss, as I was finished playing as Ezio, so I went and watched Embers. It broke my heart to see Ezio limping, coughing, and in such a bad way. At the end, when Ezio is sitting in Florence, in the same plaza where his father and brothers were killed 40 years prior, his wife, Sofia, tells him he should've stayed home. He responds by saying that he is home, before dying of a heart attack. This moment brought me to tears. Everything about it was on point. One great thing about it is his daughter's reaction. She is standing with her mother, and looks back to see Ezio, and the expression on her face goes from happy to sad in a matter of seconds. The film perfectly sets up Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China, and gives a great end to Ezio's story. The big fight scene is very well done, and shows that Ezio can still fight, despite being 65 and crippled by a chest infection. It makes me feel sorry for Ezio. He spends 25+ years of his life alone, fighting the Templars and the Borgia, and finally finds love at the age of 55, before retiring and having children, only to die a mere ten years later. Spero che tu trovi la pace, amico mio. Requiescat in pace, Ezio.
