Dragon Winikoff

I love Vikings. Let me just say that. I love the idea that the Gods of Norse Mythology exist. I grew up, reading Percy Jackson and stuff like that. So, seeing that the A.C universe was in the Viking age, I bought it as soon as I could. The tutorial hooked me in right away. It was nearly a dream come true. Don't get me wrong, I love the way the character's traits and portrayed, and how it ties in beautifully to previous titles. Buuut... there is one thing they could work on. I'm talking about the Cultists tab. Seeing who they were (shrouded in shadows, though) made it feel sapped. Odyssey did it perfectly, as did Origins, with the cultists wearing thick robes and painted masks. However, I could see roughly who was going to betray me. Midway through the game, I had to choose between a king's son, an Earl, or a bishop, for leadership of a shire. However, seeing the sillouette of a bishop in the cultist screen, was just a massive spoiler. Ubisoft, if you are listening, maybe try incorporating a mass-scale war in the future, requiring players to feud online, much like the Elder Scrolls Online Cyrondill arc.

I love the Assassins Creed series, and this was one of their greatest games. This gives me the feeling like I'm in a novel, like Treasure Island, or Pirates of the Caribbean. But, alas, not everything is perfect. In this case, the infamous tailing missions are annoying. Also, Great Inagua's economic gameplay is a bit weak. Personally, I'd love to see ships sailing in and out of the cove, seamlessly. Or, perhaps, see the buildings evolve over missions, starting from wooden shacks to grand mansions. Other than that, Ubisoft did a brilliant job of bringing the Assassin's Creed series to the Caribbean.
