This game is a nice change from the previous Assassins Creed games, with more emphasis on fighting compared to walking close enough to someone's circle in previous games. Feels more like an Elder Scrolls game crossed with an Assassin Creed game, which is a good thing.

It has helped revive my interest that was flagging based on the last couple of games.

The break between Assassins Greed games, has allowed the series to be refreshed. The old hall marks of the game are still there, like synchronisation, but you don't need it to play the game. Using you Eagle allows you to do most things. It's truly beautiful in 4K on the Xbox One.
