With this finished, I can now confidently say that this series miraculous popularity is a irreproducible phenomena and ubisoft has done nothing but ride the coattails of it for a decade and some change. The issue with this is an issue that at the core of the game there is nothing fun or compelling about any of the game and it struggles to give you anything meaningful to gain from it.

Every game in this trilogy has had some money management/shop setup system with stores you can invest money in and other fluff, yet never once had me engage with them kinda speaks to how much non-sense the game packs into it's run time.
