So, I am fairly new to this genre. And I have to say that the characters, story, gameplay, soundtrack are sublime. The puzzles for every situation are challenging and their is a progression through the challenges. The game also does not necessarily hold your hand, and I am playing it in Normal difficulty. If you are into the turn-based strategy games, please, buy it! Totally worth it. I am sure to buy other games from the same studio.
I remember playing this when it first came out, not knowing much other than it was history oriented adventure. Little did I know that the lore was huge, and it hinted to more things. To me, AC series finished with Connor's adventure in AC3. Although gameplay mechanics might be outdated, I would highly recommend this game.
