You either hate the game or love it. That’s what I think about the game. It is definitely different from the other AC games, but that’s what is all about. Adapting to change. Yes this game is long. Yes there is so many different ways to level up than just side quests. Yes, you will spend min 50 hoursish playing this game, but I loved it. I enjoyed that you can do other things to level up such as doing battle conquest. When you play AC games, it can get repetitive, but they did a good job adding different things so that you don’t get bored. I love Ancient Greek history so It was cool exploring different cities that I knew, especially Athens. If you’re willing to put the time and enjoy rpg styles gameplay, you will definitely enjoy the game.
