Liked this a lot more than I thought I would. I gave it a shot back when it was first added to PS+ Extra and didn't vibe with it but I'm super glad I gave it another shot. It's just another Ubisoft Open World™ game in many ways but my god does the setting absolutely carry it. Bummer that it's probably never getting a sequel because I would absolutely love to spend more time in this world even after spending 43 hours exploring it. I adore the (relatively) small map size because it allowed the devs to make it extremely dense instead, which I love. I also thought the gameplay was quite good and nowhere near as bad as people were making it out to be, but that could be due to the Spider's Thread update that apparently changed a lot of how the combat works.

I just wish the opening hour weren't so weak, it's easily the worst part of the game which is a shame since first impressions are everything.
