The Assassin’s Creed franchise has enraptured players by allowing them to dive into famous historical periods. Better yet, Ubisoft often does its due diligence in recreating a historical realistic environment by working with and hiring experts, much like it did with the Assassin’s Creed 2 trilogy. Fans often fantasize and theorize where the franchise will go next, or even what time periods, but there’s one continent that the main series has yet to crack in full: Asia....

It doesn’t matter the genre, or when a game was released, almost all video games have an in-game item that replenishes characters’ health. It could be a potion, some food, a spell, or an ability.
