Took me about 20 hrs or so to get a firm grip on how this game should be played, that said , it goes well beyond any current or past action rpg in terms of storytelling. They have taken the architecture of a linear rpg (set piece) and through thoughtful pacing and some of the best level design I’ve seen ,make you feel like your character and decisions are organic and open- living breathing world worth digging into from start to finish. Just when you think you are getting close to the end of a story arc, another area opens up, it truely feels focused and deliberate and openly varied. Great job guys- this was incredible! Btw, I breached the 100 hr mark before completing the story so these ppl who played for 20 hrs and give a review, can’t possibly give an educated opinion, just see for yourself, this game delivers amazing content consistently well past 100hrs.

It’s ok. As one who has enjoyed every single installment of AC I have to say that it feels way undercooked in the gameplay. What I mean is that the game feels like it is somewhere in between ac 3 and origins- the made me want to play ac 1 and odyssey instead. The world is very lacking in depth, and the mechanics of gameplay are very dumbed down versions of preceding games as well. I really didn’t want to play in it. Too similar to origins but without landmarks and beauty, just stale old middle eastern themes. Combat makes you wish for the rpg trilogy or the first game - it just doesn’t hit right-AI is dumb as hell and two step alternations at best. Story is dull as well All in all it feels, plays , and looks like a typical “by-year” Ubisoft copy and paste to keep the cash rolling in while they figure out their next cash cow installment 5/10 recommend only to those who have never played AC 1-2-3 or have no way to play those games.

In a day where it is apparent that most people are simply too jaded and unsatisfiable, you need only one word to accurately describe this game. “Amazing “ - across the board. It is a culmination of many video game mechanics and tropes, but it is its own thing as well. So far this game one that truly wears many hats very well. A much needed and wonderful gaming experience - start to finish!!!

The descriptions of the writers below do a great job of explaining this film’s Excellence! It is by far the best vision of Batman to date. An absolutely beautiful and darkly powerful version that hits all the right marks over and over! Accurate to the comics and original in scope and vision....best super hero movie ever! Period. I haven’t been blown away by a movie like I have with this one since Fight Club!

Stay away! This is not an ingenious development that tests the players ability to time and manipulate control schemes to create a fun challenge. It is quite simply...not well designed! Any game that relies on the player figuring out how to use design flaws as a way to progress, is a failure in design and laziness on part of the designers. This entire game feels like something I would have made in “dreams” and never bothered to finish because there were too many holes in design..(difference is that I didn’t charge cash money to have people play it)

I’m not gonna rag about or dis this title, it’s a super solid game in terms of graphics sound and gameplay, but...... the story tropes and world exploration fall a little short for being a new release. What I mean is that the story and environment feel really outdated- the “Just Cause “ series , “Dying Light”and earlier “Far Cry” games have just about run this gameplay/ environment into the ground! Not much new to see here- but it is a solid game! Just be aware that this game has been done to death already, if you haven’t really played any of those other games - then you might be in for a treat!

I’m not going to say that this is a bad game and I’m not going to say that it’s a great game either. In terms of gameplay: Solid control and great combat but extremely boring level design (I mean boring- I found myself asking on more than 5 different occasions “ what am I actually doing here and sheesh, this level again?” Wait for a deep sale on this one. Devs definitely dropped the ball!! This franchise has the potential to hold up against the likes of God of War style action games but this entry is more akin to Earth Defense Force games
