(Initial, at 30.8 hours) One of the worst games I've ever played from a major developer. ♥♥♥♥♥♥ graphics with worst optimization. FPS is at around 50 yet it still feels like it's lagging somehow, and vsync doesn't even work when it's turned on. Character's movement is weird as ♥♥♥♥, like it's floating on a cloud while jumping. Simply put, this game is annoying to play. Also, the game minimizes and messes up with all background window layouts if you play too long. I don't even know what's up with that.

(Update, 2022/08/09) I've really tried to get 100% and like this game, but I can't. I'm at 81% and I'm done. Given that the Syndicate is basically the same game in London with minor update, I'm not even gonna play that either. I'm just going to skip to the Origins. Since Ubisoft had not been progressing the modern time main storyline, I'm sure I'm not losing any. Hours spent playing this had been a waste in my life. Thank the Gods that I bought them on discount.

100% completion after 18 days. Main game is short, and the water looks more fake than the Black Flag. But the story is more interesting, the ship got better steering and combat experience, and hiding assassins makes running around less boring. To me, this is the best AC game since the Revelation.

A plain character with a development that players cannot relate much. Yeah, I understand this game assumes a machine that can pull memories out of DNA, and nothing about this game makes sense. But the difference comes from whether it is explained enough in the game so that players can turn their heads and follow along. Edward gets a hidden blade from the Templars, and immediately he can use it. Not even clumsy, he's good with it on a level that both Templars and Assassins praise him for having natural talent. ...Ubisoft doesn't even care at this point. The beaches are beautiful and sailing with shanties is good... only for the first hour. After that, meaningless collectibles are still there, and it gets boring real fast, real quick.

More important note: This game is considered one of Ubisoft's better games, but they didn't yet give up on ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ you up with bugs. Whenever you run the game for the first time, make sure the first thing you do is to check all the DLCs are there. If you don't, Steam won't give you a refund, and Ubisoft's solution would be deactivating your existing key (along with your progress) and adding a new title on the Ubisoft client (which won't be accessible through Steam). If you find out early, you can get your refund, re-purchase it through Steam, and keep your game on Steam (if you care about this).

Not a game for you if you're easily bored. It maybe a game for you if you're due for a vacation, but you know your 3 yrs old daughter will ride you the entire time. It really can feel like you're diving in Maui.

Missions get old over time as they pretty much follow the same plot line in different places. Go in, start the heist, install the drill, dig in, get out. Lack of reality with endless flow of cops. Will not pursue further.

Played from 2021/12/27 to 2021/12/29. Took three full days to complete 87.86%. That includes all classes, collectibles, missions, and challenges. I don't know what I missed and the game is not kind enough to tell me- so that's that. The game tells you to run and drive around a lot, without fast travel point so it gets boring after awhile. Some waiting time too if you're doing classes. All in all it was fun way to spend the past three days. Also with the silent patch, my game crashed about a dozen times throughout the entire play. It's not the most stable game to play after 15 years. It adds frustration, but if you can bear it, it's a decent game. Not a masterpiece I would say, but a decent game.

Good game, but wasn't interesting enough to be worth my time.

Civilization in Space. Just not fun enough to be worth of my time. Would rather play other games.

I only hope this had a single player mission with lush storyline. For now multiplayer is completely dead and you won't get any multiplayer achievement unless you can scoop up some friends to play with. Also I'm kinda butt hurt from them not including the Galactic Conquest mode from 2005 game in solo play. For now, this is a very hollow game with great surrounding which only thing you can do is run around and kill AI's. Still the graphics and environment is impressive as hell and I had a lot of fun with Walker Assault, so I'd still recommend. I'd pay $14.99 before tax, max. Get it on discount.

P.S. You won't ever get the Collector achievement. No matter what you do. Don't waste your time on it and give up. It's broken.
