This is really hard to justify the 2 stars without spoilers so I'll do my best to point out the pro's and cons.
Pros:
- There are quests everywhere. The game is really rich in content.
- The world is massive and the artwork is terrific.
- The puzzles are fun and moderately challenging.
- Some elements within the game make me want to try the previous A/C games.
Cons:
- Some zones are excruciatingly too long to complete. (major con)
- Storylines seem to be a bit too divergent and incomplete.
- In-game store (major con)
- Too many bugs (missing meshes and textures, game freezing on cinematics, npc dialogue glitches)
- The combat is very clunky and unsatisfying.
- In game fishing. If you are an avid MMO player you'll understand the pet peeve behind this. Sorry for the spoiler.
- What is it with silly card or dice games within a game? A waste of time.
- I was looking forward to some real stealth action....
