    Disgusting practices by Ubisoft. Basically second EA. because of Ubisoft's behaviour I will make sure I will not ever play any of their games again. enough is enough. Ubisoft and EA destroyed something I loved. They destroyed gaming in the name of their sole interests. They do everything against players, they do not love gaming, they only love money.

    The gameplay mechanics work well with each other like torches lighting things on fire and bay hales for hiding.

    The story (I wont spoil this) but it's pretty good, a few twists and turns to turn your mind around. The level requirements for the quests seem really high which brings me to the point of the grind.
    I understand its okay for RPG games to have a grind, but this one feels much more greater than others.

    The game doesn't have much replay value as is with other ubisoft games like Far Cry.
    Overall this game is very well worth it.    … Expand

    The last assassin's creed I played was unity, I still believe it's the best AC graphically and now it's running fine on my 6700K+1070.

    This game is probably the best looking open world rpg of the year. The combat although a little bland in the beginning got better with the new skills unlocked. Probably one of the best in the franchise. The main characters in the game are masterfully voice acted. But the biggest compliment I CAN GIVE THIS GAME is its beautiful open world

    Essentially, the game is a nerfed down version of assassins creed brotherhood. they removed every good thing i liked about the assassins creed games. that includes dual hidden blades, assassin recruits, simplicity of gear, limited but rewarding missions, emphasis on stealth and above all combat system. i am not even sure to buy an assassin creed game in the future. very disappointed.

    A terrible pc port, huge fps drops and erratic CPU usage. Ubisoft can live in denial regarding its anti-piracy methods but it's quite obvious what is causing the issue. Paying consumers are being affected by this which is inexcusable.

    This game has a huge world with a kickass theme (Egypt rocks !!),the best AC protagonist after Ezio (never liked Edward :P) , meaning side quests and activities (if you have played Witcher 3,you will understand where the inspiration is coming from) and a combat system where you don't have to wait for enemies to attack you one by one....

    But honestly i would call this game an action adventure game with SLIGHT rpg elements ,not a complete rpg game as marketed coz you dont get to make any choices or choose dialogues from a dialogue tree as seen in a traditional RPG game.

    The cons:
    - on PC, this game is nigh unplayable. Whether it's just a terrible optimization or the crazy DRM messing up the performance, be prepared for random stutters and fps drops to single digits regardless of your hardware or graphic settings. Moreover, the 100% CPU usage can cut down the lifetime of your CPU substantially and lead to BSOD and general system unstability. At present, this game is a credible threat to your hardware, avoid it.

    In closing, if you're thinking about buying this, don't. Wait until Ubisoft patches this thing A LOT or buy it on consoles, where it's mostly fine.    … Expand

    Great if a bit lacking story in a huge world with a lot of small details.
    Surplus of end game content.
    Side quests are somewhat comparable to Witcher 3, also a bit lacking but still a way ahead of any AC game up to now.
    Simplistic but fun combat system.
    Visually stunning.
    10/10 fstops for photographer mode.

Without a doubt, the world is the most technically and graphically advanced of any open world game ever and that says a lot with Horizon Zero Dawn at one point having that title. Combat and skills work intuitively to carve a unique experience and leaves the choice with the player whether they want to be a jack of all trades or a stealthy assassin.

    The story is incredible but has its fair share of flaws that I think could have made it even better but this series is definitely heading in the right direction. In terms of level design, it is no doubt that Ubisoft are masters of that aspect with what is a experience that mixes and matches that best elements of past franchises e.g. tree climbing, underwater exploration and even naval combat.

    Ultimately this game is a standout in the series and definitely one of the best games of the last couple of years building on what was the previous two iterations of the series which were wholly disappointing. Nevertheless I think there is a room to improve in terms of the combat and skill tree which can be taken refined in the next instalment as well as developing on this new AC formula.    … Expand

AI of the opponent is just meh... stupid as always. Main character Bayek is unfortunately dull and boring. Side quests are meaningless fetch quest, go there bring that, kill him, steal that, no real story behind them and complexity, there was only one or two that was "cool". Loot system is ok, cool looking armors and weapons. Soundtrack is amazing, Every song enhances the mood in the game. Lipsync is off very often and sometimes I beg for the NPC to stfu already, every minute you hear the same small talks of the NPC's, once I had 3 NPC talking the same text with little delay, it sounded like an echo. Performacne - CPU usage at 100% all the time, frame drops but overall not bad, I was able to run AC on ultra on my 4yr old pc. Is this game worth 60$ + 40$ season pass + micro-transactions? Hell no, but if you wait and get it for maybe 30$ at discount then its a fair price for the experience.… Expand

    It's an improvement in the series since they spent 2 years in the makings. Game mechanics are fun ( weapons and such). Still a lackluster experience overall, open world is filled with similar activities that you can grind if you want. Main quest line wasn't all that enthralling to me. Wouldn't recommend it at full price.

    Don't buy this game, only buy if you support shallow open world gameplay that we have seen many times before, items behind paywalls and bad performance. So if you do buy this game you are technically an enemy since your money is helping cripple this industry.

    I would've scored a bit lower but the game needs to have votes to counter the false negatives.

    This is the best AC since Black Flag/AC II, the year off from making a game really paid off. It's visually amazing, combat is solid, story is well written.

    I have to also commend the side quests, they actually have some meat to them and not feel like a "let's get this done asap to get back on the main story", and with the outfits completely cosmetic, you don't have to wear something just because it's better than the outfit that looks better.

    Yes there are bugs that seem to always be in AC games, horse deciding to float or character sticking for a few seconds on the spot, and normally this would result in me knocking a point or two off the review, but the 10 is explained above.

    All in all if you enjoyed Black Flag and AC II this is gonna tick all the right boxes.

    I am playing this on a 7700K/1080/16gb RAM in 4K 60fps with no problems on highest settings, as long as you know your drivers are up to date and you meet the recommended requirements, then you have nothing to fear and plenty to enjoy.    … Expand

    This killer holiday in Egypt is definitely no boring. On the contrary, it is a pleasant excursion to the times, when the sphinx had a nose, and mysterious killers did not call themselves assassins. You cannot find a nicer version of an Ancient Egypt in any other game, and up to it it’s entertaining. A modest family story affects the whole empire at the end, and you will forgive a handful of bugs to its charismatic heroes, as well as the fact, that you have played the same pattern so many times, just in another scenery.

    Ubisoft Montreal managed to make Egypt not only beautiful, but extremely atmospheric. When you’re admiring the city and a mounted patrol rushes past you, you always get that urge to step aside to avoid getting trampled, even though you know you can eviscerate them all in a blink of an eye.
