shelby era

Just do better Ubisoft. This game is shamelessly trying to copy other games with the complex and unexplained stat system that came out of nowhere. This game is trying to do so much but as I play, I ask myself, is it doing this because it can or because it *should*? I like the hack and slash as well as raids where you get a sense of having a “clan” but there are no losses or gains for how you respond to revivals and leading the fights. Kill ratios and revives aught to be rewarded. This being said there isn’t much assassin about this game which is just an outright failure for making an assassin game.

This game is way too hard. People keep comparing it to dark souls because of that but it doesn’t even compare. I’m really disappointed because I had high hopes for this title. The gameplay is just so punishing, even on easy. The timing is so precise in the combat and the game often doesn’t respond to my commands. There’s no fast travel, making you walk from the end of the map all the way back to the beginning often making you fight the same enemies you fought on the way in. The parkour sequences are frustrating with the lack of response time. All of this combined was just too much effort for not enough pay off.

So glad I played it, amazing game!
