(Review from 2022) Very average game. Unfortunately Smash-likes can only stand out if they have novelty, and the only novelty this game has is meme Nick characters and Garfield. Liked the Avatar characters and stages but ultimately all the characters have much better renders than they do models... SpongeBob shouldn't look so weird moving around in this game. Could use a bit of work but was fun for the few hours I played. Online is very dead, 1P repetitive

(Review from 2021) A great game with some updates to the formula that are welcomed, particularly the exploration. I think this is the first AC in a while that doesnโ€™t flood the map with icons and encourages naturally finding things. Some lessons learned from BotW I think! The return of social stealth is also nice, I just wish the game as a whole was a bit shorter and that stealth was more thought through again. This game will walk so another can run.

(Addendum) Some things that soured on me from when I originally wrote my review, that I think deserved mention. I feel like I was a little rosy in my original opinions because the exploration was actually good. The Odin bits sucked, I never enjoyed doing them. One of the regions in particular (might have been the Samhain one?) was so tiresome I almost dropped the game. Other regions would have great subplots though, so it was a balance. And this is the first game in the series where I wasnโ€™t motivated to get all the DLC, because there is too much and one of them entirely focuses on the Odin sections, which are not good.

(Review from 2021) Fun game! I donโ€™t typically like shooters. The story is neat, maybe a little too meta but otherwise kept me interested. My biggest gripes are the timed missions that literally always come up right when Iโ€™m in the middle of plot missions, and that the checkpoints are far too few.
