One star off for taking place in France. I played this game for the first time long after launch, and therefore did not experience all of the bugs and glitches weighing down this game's reputation. This one is fucking amazing. Play it.
The American Revolution was a great choice of setting. People say that Ratonhnaké:ton is a flat protagonist, but this seems mostly intentional. He's alienated deliberately. It's great. Love this one.
