This is a solid game if you want a new experience (ie you haven't played an Assassin's Creed game before) but if you have played previous iterations… perhaps give it a miss. I was super excited at E3 when they showed knuckledusters and throwing knives and a grapple hook and the wicked khukri, but it really doesn't justify a whole new game. Carriages are a laugh for about 5 minutes before you want to find another train. I give it 4 stars because, objectively, it is a solid game (campaign didn't pull me in though), 99% bug free, cool combat, good stealth and fun parkour that has partially been made irrelevant by the grapple, but still works. So if you have played 2 or more of the other's in the series (Unity not counted) I wouldn't bother. It sits on my shelf doing a whole lot of nothing. If you haven't played an AC game or haven't played for 3+ years – go for it. You'll have a blast.
