(lemmy.world) submitted 2 years ago by ApollosArrow@lemmy.world to c/games@lemmy.world 317 comments fedilink hide all child comments I was trying to think of which games created certain mechanics that became popular and copied by future games in the industry. The most famous one that comes to my mind is Assassin’s Creed, with the tower climbing for map information.

Assassin's Creed was no exception. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TheMinions@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago Valid point.
