I was very happy to see that the old AC formula was going to be coming back, but also quite skeptical as it is Ubisoft after all. I was very surprised by this though. I loved the setting and 9th century Baghdad was recreated very well. I haven't played Valhalla so I didn't even know Basim was in that, but through this game alone I really liked his character and I am quite interested in Valhalla now even if just for his story. Parkour felt great here, as well as the stealth with more mechanics added and a nice set of tools at your disposal. Overall a very worthwhile time especially with being priced lower which was a good decision by Ubi
