Honestly a massive disappointment. As most have said, the combat is horrible. Slow, unresponsive, with sudden enemy moves that can't be countered or dodged. Your attacks have a really slow wind up and a large amount of abilities will simply miss completely. The story is slow, at the beginning it feels more like a city builder than an AC game. Do not enter this game in hopes for its combat.
As for the the content itself and mechanics, they aren't bad. I enjoy the raid mechanics except for one part. It is ine thing to have true historical events, I was fine with that. It is an entirely different situation to have your character acreen "Kill Christ and burn his house!"
If this was replaced with any other religion then everyone would be up in arms, they would change it. People brush it off and even enjoy that fact, however it is incredibly offensive and insensitive, not to mention historically inaccurate.
If you are a person of faith, you may find this game offensive. If you enjoy good combat, you won't find it here. If you want a decent story, I haven't found one here.only got one star due to it being a pretty game, at least.
