Customer Ratings & Reviews

Positive: +Amazing new world, costume, environment, etc. + RPG element is a bonus, crafting, hunting system. Negative: - THE COMBAT SYSTEM. They remove most of the signature combat system. It feel like Dynasty Warrior with hack and slash! The only kill animation is if he's the last enemy. They say its more harder fight, balance, but look at Syndicate, or Shadow of Mordor Shadow War combat! - Cutbacks, you can clearly tell this game has been over simplified. They cut back so much and instead of fixing it they take 10 steps back. This is NOT the Assassin's Creed you remember. I really wish I can return this game instead of giving ubisoft my $. Time to sell it on craigslist for $40.

Assassin's Creed games are some of my most and least favorite games I've played. Two and Four are masterpieces, yet games like Three and Unity were just a mess. Unfortunately this is much closer on the spectrum to three and unity than it is two and four. This is definitely not Ubisoft's best Assassin's Creed game. In fairness I didn't finish it, but only because I couldn't get through how tedious it is. I got totally fed up with doing mindless side quests just so I could level up to play the story mode which in fairness is itself quite thin. Ubisoft does let you buy your way out of doing the side quests by way of microtransaction, but I refuse to give into microtransactions. If you don't like games that can get tedious, you should probably look elsewhere.
