I'd given up on AC games after playing Black Flag last year. Bloates open world, haphazard story that keeps using timeskips without giving them weight, mostly cardboard characters, no new take here.
Or so I'd thought. A few nostalgic youtube videos later, here I am again

My boyfriend while playing: "This game is OK."
After
He has taste.

Yes, Shay, you make your own luck. We get it. (Really love this game though! Who would have thought after Black Flag?)

Am I the only one thinking the Templars might be right? That the only way we can get peace is by control? I was all for the assassins for years but ever since a couple of months ago (even before playing this game) seeing how the real life world is dying because people refuse to take responsibility for their own …

I'm at sequence 3 and this AC already seems a lot better than the previous one. Still not a fan of the sailing, but at least Shay's story is really interesting.

The only thing that I like about this game is that the PC optimization is improved from black flag, other than that, gameplay mechanics, UI and real world setting are literally copied from black flag.

Not to mention Shay is a fucking dumbass, his reasoning for siding with templars makes no sense at all and his story tells nothing. The idea of a templar game is a great concept but this execution was horrible, this game screams "lazy" as it takes no effort to progress to something good. Many hearbreaking events occur, shay is a fucking dumbass, and the cliffhanger in the end makes no sense either and isn't even revealed in upcoming games.

Regardless of some of to me personally heartbreaking events taking place I still love hte fact that Ubisoft decided to take a different approach to the franchise and make you explore the Templars' side more. I also love how good looking and better optimized game this is in difference with Black Flag.

Got this for free on xbox gold. I put it on my wishlist after playing Black Flag, so good thing I did not buy it on steam.

Got this for free on xbox gold. I put it on my wishlist after playing Black Flag, so good thing I did not buy it on steam. Rather than methodically complete each location in order of difficulty and only do story missions when I happened upon them (as I did in Black Flag), I chose to focus on story missions first and only complete the areas that were on the way. This turned out to be much more enjoyable. However, after I reached the location where you get the native armor, I went and cleared every single location, maxxed out my stuff, and did the rest of the story last.
First thing I did was buy the belgian pistols (for max range) and I used them for the entire game. I used the default starting sword for most of the game melee combat seems to be more about pressing the correct buttons rather than the stats of the sword. I later used the Spanish sword given for free from fleet missions, and finally the viking sword. I did not unlock the best sword and pistol until I was done with the game. Early on, I changed my outfit to Altair's robes; largely because a couple times I had trouble telling Shay apart from the enemies so I wanted to stand out with bright white. I then used the native armor for its defense boost but did not like the dull brown look. Spent the rest of the game in 11th century templar chainmail; that is some sweet armor.
I do not care for optional objectives, so I completely ignored them on missions. I often found myself not bothering with stealth and just massacring everyone in open combat. My preferred kill styles were in order: berserk dart, sniping with musket, pistol, open melee combat. I did all of the collectibles except some of the uncharted stuff; most of it was not particularly enjoyable though I did like exploring each area; especially the native pillar areas. Lastly, I got to visit where I live and my home town in this game (St. John's and Lewisporte in Newfoundland). Both places do not look anything like they do in real life (geographically speaking). Lewisporte did not even exist during the time of this game and the person for which the town is named was not alive yet. Haha, I wonder if the developers just look at a map and said "yeah lets use that". Furthermore, I am confused about the icy land mass visible from the harbor of St. John's because there is nothing but open water to the east of St. Johns. It is supposed to be Greenland?

По личным ощущениям лучшая игра в серии. Проработан сюжет, мотивация главного героя. Ну, и кроме того мой любимый антураж. Кораблики и всякое такое. Пять звёзд

42% synced. 7 hrs played. Three mission from finishing main story-line. At Cold Fire mission. Required ship upgrades, but to much time would be need to gather resources. This game is not good enough to warrant that. Plus terrible controls. Perhaps of any Assassin's Creed game.

El diseño por capas de este AssCreed (la sublimación de TODAS las mecánicas de OCHO juegos) es alucinante. Es una lástima que falle por completo a la hora de aprovechar los (literalmente) cientos de mecanismos a su disposición.
