I hate that this game got the launch it did, because I fully believe it's the best in the series mechanically. It's not my favourite AC game, but it does combat and parkour so right for me. The co-op was also a neat addition that really emphasised the customisation and playstyles you could go for.
My biggest issue is just the plot. I was never really gripped by it and by the end I had 0 emotional investment in what the game wanted me to. It's also impossible not to mention the buggy mess the game shipped as.
Going back in I look at it from a completely different light, but it's a game I absolutely won't argue with people over when they hate it because it's 100% deserved. I honestly believe this would be a top contender for a lot of people if it had just had time in the oven.
