8. Assassin’s Creed 2
A game that starts with a future assassin having a family. Well I guess it doesn’t bode too well for the family. Assassin’s Creed 2 of course ends up killing them all in an effort to provide additional motivation for youn Ezio to take up his dad’s blades and go all sneaky killy around renaissance Italy.
Ezio’s dad and brother were all right people who hadn’t done anything wrong. Plus they end up being betrayed by a former ally, all while Ezio is watching. And then hung publicly. The shame! The anger! The sad! All the motivation a proper assassino needs.
