I went into this wanting to love this game, but my god... Everything about this games feels lazy.
The engine is the same engine from 6 years ago, with no improvements. The gameplay is so dull; parkour is awful, the combat is so floaty and boring and the stealth animations are reused from old titles.
The animations are stiff and clunky, the lack of motion capture makes all the characters look like mindless robots when they speak - their eyes stare off into the distance, there's no eye tracking at all, lip syncing is way off and characters are throwing their arms around all over the place while they talk (bizarrely the worst animated and voice acted character is Basim, the literal protagonist).
Not an awful game per se, and if you like the previous three games you'll probably like this one because it's more of exactly the same, just in a different setting. It just feels dated and lazy, like no love has gone into it.
If this had come out ten years ago it would've probably been less disappointing, but for an AAA game made with an AAA budget in 2023, this is way off the quality I'd expect from this sort of title.
