A near perfect gem! Unlike Breath of the Wild (which it's been compared to), its flaws are a little harder to ignore. Jumping and climbing never felt quite right, the character animations can be janky (at least in the base game. They were improved a bit in Frozen Wilds), some NPCs are rather flat, and the melee combat is...there. The option of overriding the machines was sadly undercooked as well.

Everything else was amazing though!! I love all the different ways you can kill your enemies. Your focus allowing you to scan for any weaknesses and also read up on people from the past. I was so caught up in the lore, I did just about everything. I only require five remaining Blazing Sun medals. I only did a little bit of Frozen Wilds, yet I still made sure to get every artifact. The environments are absolutely gorgeous. I learned from The Completionist that the areas were based on Colorado and Utah. Having visited the former, yeah that's about right. Finally, Aloy is one of my favorite protagonists in recent years. A great arc combined with a fantastic performance by Ashly Burch.

I'm looking forward to the upcoming sequel. The comic sounds promising too.

I went out in the snow in 2009 to get the last copy of this. I was super excited after its reveal at E3. After the lacklustre first game, I was stoked that this one actually worked.
I love Ezio. For once, we had a protagonist who actually had a personality. In this instalment, Ezio is juvenile and hot-headed, and it details his journey into responsibility and a purpose that is the creed.
The gameplay is better, more brutal, and slicker for its time; the navigation around the respected cities is refined; and the assassinations are much more enjoyable this time around.

I absolutely loved the soundtrack and how well it complemented the historical setting. Desmond becomes more interesting here, but not by a huge margin. In my opinion, the best AC has yet to be surpassed.

Skulking on rooftops, blinking to an upper balcony and then possessing a guard and standing within inches of a target, I love those moments.

Being given the choice to kill or get rid of someone through ingenious and sometimes sinister ways is a big highlight.

The world of Dunwall is a dark and somewhat beautiful place, both filled with despair and and a few individuals trying to bring light to a dark world is a sight to behold, a immersive game like no other!

I have a complex relationship with this game. I don’t believe it’s a good game at all, the story is boring and a slog to get through. The gameplay is sloppy and it’s uninventive, the quest structure is its biggest flaw in my eyes, absolutely no real consequences to the outcomes to the story.

The game is easy, even on the hardest difficulty, it’s easy to become OP quickly. The main characters as with the supporting characters are bland and uninteresting and show no emotion whatsoever!

On a positive note, the game has some redeeming factors, the game gives you plenty of freedom and customisation, there is enjoyment to be had in this game but it’s littered within a boring game.
