Note: This review is based off a playthrough done on the Xbox Series S Truly one of the most infuriating, painful gaming experiences I've ever played. The level of world simulation is awful, navigating crowds and trying to remain the "Blade in the crowd" that the Order of Assassins claim to be is near impossible with how the various pedestrian NPCs interact with Altair. There is almost no creativity, no real thought required in the assassinations, they almost all end with either hand-to-hand combat (which is awful) or with a chase sequence. The story is pretty good, actually, the conversations Altair has with his targets after assassinating them are well written, and seeing how he changes from these conversations is interesting. Anything set in the modern day Abstergo facility is boring and mostly pointless, but don't tend to last very long.
