How Historical is Assassin's Creed, Really? - Detail Diatribe

Pull up your hoods, ready your wristblade, and climb up on a cathedral spire, because we're discussing just how Historical the games of the Assassin's Creed series really are. How close do they come to reaching their promise of a vivid historical playground? Well, it depends on your criteria, and it HEAVILY DEPENDS on which game you're playing.
And yes, we will be discussing multiple domes in the course of this analysis.

Chef's recommendation: if you're curious to see some of this for yourself, give Assassin's Creed 2 a try. The Ezio Collection is available on everything from computers to consoles to the gosh darn SWITCH now.
