So much potential with Basem, and he hangs around just 1 city? The dude who made his way to Northern Europe from the Middle East? Campaign and missions get boring quickly. Least favourite of the AC. What I did like was even more detailed historical background and context. The history has usually come more through NPCs in prior games, so I liked the additional information (I'm not going to call it 'lore' since it's historical fact). It would have been nice to have more of the history incorporated in the story line, though. Valhalla (4 stars) and Odyssey (5 stars) were particularly strong in this regard.

They really capture the religious fervor and budding zealotry that is a key part of the Dune saga. Javier Bardem -- as always -- is amazing. He brings Stilgar to life, which is a critical role in the story.
