Been playing the game for 52 hours now, more exploration and side quests than the actual story. Story wise this is a weak point so far, run of the mill AC to be fair. The world is gorgeous, even playing performance mode, and the changes in weather do make differences in the way you play. The combat is satisfying enough if you play it right. The difference in Noes combat style and Yaskes are really nice to break up the play styles if you’re bored with one way or the other. That said I spent more time as Noe, butchered the spelling lol. It’s not the best AC game by far my heart will always be with the Ezio trilogy. But is by far not the worst either. Of the New AC games I would slot this better than Valhalla. That’s just my own opinion, wait for sale if unsure of course. But really it’s not worth the hate.
