Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection Reviews
Assassin’s Creed: The Ezio Collection is a product that just makes me tired.
So there's a lot going on here and considering you get three impressive games with some very engaging story telling, it's a pretty compelling collection. Visually it is showing it's age a bit but the switch has it's limitations and there's only so much you can do bringing a game up to modern standards before you basically end up remaking the whole thing. Having said that, it's not bad for what it is and it does do a decent job of putting the Switch through it's paces.
The Switch version of the Ezio Collection is recommended to the people who only own Nintendo's hybrid system, but whoever can play it elsewhere will save a lot of money. Still, a solid effort from Ubisoft.

Ubisoft brings together three of the most important games of the Assassin's Creed series, forgetting the years that have passed since their release date. The increase in resolution is not enough to modernize gameplay that has been stopped while the world has evolved.

Look, let’s be straight here – The Ezio Collection is a fairly lazy port. Minimal effort has been made to improve the games either graphically or mechanically and there’s absolutely no reason to pick this up if you already own the previous gen versions of the games.
Three games for the price of one is a great buy, but be prepared for shoddy looking characters.
This Switch release certainly has some drawbacks, and it's arguable that a straight port of the original games at a higher resolution might have yielded better results than this down-port of the remasters, but the net result remains positive. Performance is overall a significant improvement over the original releases and still a superior way to play. It's unfortunate that Ubisoft has decided to work their way backwards through the original Assassin's Creed story arc with their Switch releases, but even if you haven't played the original, this trilogy holds up incredibly on its own.
The best Assassin's Creed sequel with the most gorgeous cities. Plenty of visual improvements and detailed texture, but it still brings back the old problems, with bad controls and an outdated combat system. if you are a fan of Ezio and don’t mind the outdated gameplay elements, then this collection is right for you. However, if you’re new to the series, then this collection won’t live up to the standards of current generation games.

At the cost of a full retail release you will receive three of the strongest Assassin’s Creed titles + DLC + bonus content. Fan of the franchise or not Assassin’s Creed Ezio Collection is certainly worthy of a spot in any gamer’s library.
A solid collection of games that offer minimal improvements that struggle to justify their repurchase.
Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection offers three excellent games in one single package, unfortunately it also does this at the expense of stripping out the multiplayer from game.
I know I'm often critical of big budget blockbusters, but the Assassin's Creed series has always been one I've enjoyed because of that historical context. This specific package of games has clearly been designed to fill a gap in Ubisoft's schedule for the series. It shows that none of the main Assassin's Creed games are going to age particularly well, but it also does a good job of highlighting - when freed of the expectations that come with being a blockbuster - that the real strengths of the series are far more subtle than the graphics or size of the cities that it renders.
Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection is best suited for the newcomers who are just dipping their toes into the vast waters of the Assassin's Creed franchise. You will appreciate how the game has evolved once you've gone through all three games and what it has to offer. Plus you will definitely get lost in the intertwined stories of Desmond and his ancestor Ezio. This is also recommended for those who just wants to dive back into Animus 2.0 tagging along with Rebecca, Shaun, and Lucy. I definitely still had a blast playing it even thought I have already played this game back then.
Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection is the first time that these three games can be experienced on a Nintendo console and the result is nothing but positive. Other than the value of playing the three games starring Ezio, it's possible to enjoy the improvements from one game to the other and its many hours of action, as well as the two short films included in the collection. Not all is perfect and some visual choices, as well as the presence of some outdated mechanics, will raise eyebrows but this is a great opportunity to experience three Assassin's Creed classics, whether for the first time or as a revisit.

Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection, despite the obvious signs of seniority, is confirmed as a very valid package, to be discovered or rediscovered.

Assassin’s Creed: The Ezio Collection is a perfect business card for newcomers in the series and respects each of its classic games. The Switch port is well done, with little changes compared to the original experience, but shows once again that the Florentine assasin's story is a legend that can still be told for many years to come.

Assasin's Creed The Ezion Collection on Nintendo Switch comes with rich -but aged- content.

For now, the question is: is the collection worth a purchase? Yes. A very thick fat yes even. The series is nicely polished and still fun to play.

The Ezio trilogy is a must-try experience only if you haven't played these Assassin's Creed games before.

At the end of the day, Assassin’s Creed: The Ezio Collection is a great collection of great games. Games most of us have already played. But the Switch is perfect for replaying exactly those kinds of games again. Borderlands, Baldur’s Gate, Dying Light, even other Assassin’s Creed games already. I’ve been waiting way too long for this collection to finally release, and I’m very happy that it turned out as well as it did.
