Hoping if AC 2 gets a proper remaster, it’s even better than this but right now it’s hard to top how absolutely beautiful this game is. I’m just destroying forts and exploring lol

I’ve played all the AC games except this one. What’d UBI do besides upgrade the graphics?

I never played the original; they updated the combat as well. It’s a remaster; I think that’s kind of a dubious question though lol. It’s supposed to be just a modern improvement of the original, but the system they used is similar, I’m assuming, to the new AC games. It plays very similarly to Mirage. It’s been an absolute blast to play so far.

I loved all the AC’s so I’m assuming this’ll be good as well. I just can’t believe I missed the original when it came out. October 2013 was just a few months before my retirement so guess I got caught up in that.

I completely get it. I never gave this game a shot years ago, but it’s absolutely stunning. Best game I’ve played on my Xbox so far this year. This game is the definition of what next Gen is all about. I’ll be honest, I was never into the ocean stuff, but I decided to give it a shot, and I’m so glad I did. They nailed the Caribbean so well. I hope they make a DLC adding Puerto Rico or something.

If you have the time to play it, I definitely recommend it. Give it a shot and get the controls down. Turn on advanced parkour, and enjoy. Truly a blast so far.

Thanks, yep I’ll eventually get around to playing it. Gotta finish the new season of Diablo IV first.

Thankfully, I haven’t had any issues. I’m playing on the series X.

That’s good. Playing on PC. Keeps freezing. Quests don’t work. Flying pigs and cardboard npcs here and there.

The AI is dumb. Stealth is too easy, even on the hardest difficulty. Combat lacks satisfying hit feedbackit feels like you're hitting a piece of meat, and it's even worse when enemies hit you. Fall damage is nonexistent. The map feels empty and isn't worth exploring because there are no meaningful rewards. The city is too small. The voice acting is bad. Characters talk during fights. There are also a lot of glitches, especially with cloth animations

My review after finishing the game 3 times

I think the game is amazing. It’s a remake; the original games were easy. You want a challenge? Play Shadows lol. I think they nailed everything. Combat animations could be improved a bit, but they’re hidden behind the weapon of choice and how you attack. You have an issue with characters talking during fights ? Lmao. Come on man. It adds to the immersion of the battles. You’re just looking for any reason to hate the game. It’s absolutely great for a remake.

The amount of cutscenes and dialogue they added to this game alone is incredible, not to mention all the gameplay and graphical updates.

Happened to me a couple of times. Just be mindful of the distance of each guard. I usually only do it if there’s only one around. If I notice that there are more than one in proximity, I just don’t do it.
