The world is nonlinear meaning you can free roam and aren't constricted to where you are in the story, another example being GTA. The game is set in Italy during the Reneissance period (15th Century) and the developers have done their research when it comes to creating the environment as everything is superbly fitted into that time era. There are many changes to way you interact with the environment too, for example, you can now swim and loot boats. You also have a new health system which can be improved by buying new armour and in the end, achievening Altair's armour. The health is split into actual health, and just armour. If you've only a minor wound it will rejenerate whilst severe wounds you will have to visit a street doctor or use a medicine jab. Armour needs to be repaired once broken.
During the game you will still be able to find those feathers but in this game, it will unlock the code argent gta 5, which in turn grants you an achievement. You'll also be able to find symbols which will unlock movie clips of 'the truth'. Once you've found the symbols you will have to crack the clues and trust me, they're hard unless you're a) religious b) Intelligent c) Know about some of this Da Vinci Code already. You can find all of this through a simple Google search though. All of this is recorded in the new Database you have access to whilst playing the game. The Database also records all the landmarks and people of importance. Each having a little background information on them too. So not only is it a fun game to play, it's also a history lesson Even clues to those looking to follow up on the Da Vinci Code. All of these are nice bits of the side for when you don't want to carry on with the story for a bit.
A nice other distraction is that you can control a town. What I mean by this is you can buy shops for it, improve these shops etc. This in turn gives you income which you can collect from the villa. Inside this villa is also all your purchased weapons, armour and collected Codex Pages. The Codex Pages are crypted scripts you find about the cities, guarded by multiple troops. Once you've found one you have to take it to Leonardo Da Vinci who decrypts them for you. The codex pages give you armour and weapon improvements, for example, duel assassin blades. What's funny is that Leonardo says things like 'Ah, yes this is a very complicated one using letter and number replacements' then seconds later does it. A real show of his intelligence. Later you'll be able to use the all famous flying machine he built for a mission.
The missions have now become more diverse and can even change during the mission from escort to chase and assassinate. There's about 100 storyline missions whilst another 100 are side missions. The way you assassinate a target is much different. You no longer have to do the grooling task of eavesdropping, intimidating etc. but instead either follow some narrative or another mission leads to it.
About the cities you will find some catacombs which are very similar to Prince of Persia or Tomb Raider where you have to run about jumping ledge to ledge trying to get through the maze. At first it's fun but after a while, it becomes tiring, in the end it's all worth it as you collect secret seals of the previous famous assassinators and some nice riches. Once you have 6 seals you unlock the all mighty Altair Amour which is outstanding and you'll find it hard dying.
