My second favourite ac game (barely behind ac2), and it's simply a masterpiece.
- The open world experience given by this game was beautiful.
- The ship and character upgrades in this game actually mattered, and helped you progress through the story easier.
- Edward was an extremely likable character.
- Loved the Fleet system.
- Story was very engaging
- Really enjoyed their use of the real world (outside of the animus), instead of it just being a background and tutorial, it actually mattered

If you like piracy and exploration I would still heavily recommend this game, you do not need ac experience to enjoy this game. It's where i started in the franchise and enjoyed every second of it
