Gamers tend to pile-on certain developers, and it’s well documented that Ubisoft is one of their favorite targets. It’s not completely without warrant - the studio has had its share of controversy over the years, and has had some rough patches - but it’s important to give them credit when it’s due. One shining light in Ubisoft’s portfolio has persisted (mostly), and that’s the Assassin’s Creed brand. This is no exception. In fact, it is their best work in a while!OPEN WORLD:I was a huge fan of Sucker Punch’s game Ghost of Tsushima, and was curious how I’d feel about this game given the natural

Love this game in the ac series. Love the japan setting and the story. Fun to play.
Great game. Huge world
All perfect. The game is like a movie. Just excellent
I know Shadows was controversial across the AC world, but honestly? I loved it. Not so happy with the microtransactions available but the Odyssey system exists still where you can earn them in game.It felt like we were back being Ezio again. The exploration system doesn't baby you, the dialogue can be canon or choice-based, the combat was *hard*. It was genuinely really nice to get that feeling again, instead of trash moneygrab games being added in. I'm really glad they forewent the choice of main player too. You play as a girl or a black dude depending and a lot of folks bombed it for that.Th
I duno why some ppl just don't like it but u can't win em all.. this is a very pretty game with amazing scenery. Like any AC games it's repetitive but im enjoying the story so far. It's not black flag good but its way better then mirage (🤢 such a waist that was)
Good game. Was as expected.
AC can be a bit repetitive, but as long as you go into it knowing that, this is a great game. Beautiful scenery and realistic graphics. They’ve really perfected the horse riding mechanic and I love Naoe’s stealth combined with Yasuke’s strength. I hate paying so much for any game, but a lot went into this one, so it isn’t so painful.
