This is almost a complete package for me. Incredible combat, platforming, puzzles, exploration, pacing, progression. It has a great visual style and takes a lot of inspiration in it's worldbuilding and narrative from Zoroastrianism, which is so cool to see considering it was published by ubisoft of all people. However the story and characters are a bit limp. I enjoyed the dialogue between characters in the side missions and just talking to NPCs, but every time a cutscene played it was very underwhelming.

Ancient religions other than Greek and Norse are such an untapped gold mine for video games. Where is my Aztec open world game? How about a Celtic JRPG? Or a buddist platformer?
