Really wish they didn't lose sight of their creative designs and intricate stories but unfortunately making the main character a black male samurai and also a female samurai seem much more important to them than actually focusing on the game itself. They removed a handful of old mechanics that in my honest opinion were a step backwards. That coupled with the political decisions to base the storyline of the aforementioned characters. I can honestly say they ruined the franchise and screwed the pooch on this one. I am a long time assassins creed fan and for me this really sucked. I hope they learn from their mistakes as the old saying goes, "Go woke go broke." Truly a trash game 1/10. Do not buy.
