The people leaving bad reviews haven't even played this. They go on tangents.
Anyways, beautiful scenery, dynamic weather is amazing. New stealth options, story is decent (8 hours in), and the customization is pretty good. The biggest change is that there is sekiro like combat, so parrying with just your sword is now available. I have not played as Yasuke for too long so I cant really talk too much about his role, but so far I am liking it in general.
The bad parts are the AI kind of sucks, but honestly, there's so many enemies, that's okay for me. I have a great pc, but apparently there are also issues with the graphics on 3070 gpus and lower. Lastly, the bane of every gamer's existence, there is a store and a battle pass.
I like this game, but I do like the assassins creed series.
