A weighty reimagining of Assassin's Creed that's a bit dry. No longer can you instant kill any enemy from unawares, instead everything is determined by relative levels and colored loot. While this makes stealth less reliable, out and out action feels great. Very impactful and meaty. The open world is massive and it's fun to embody Bayek, sheriff of Egypt, helping or killing as needed. That said, I lost steam long before the end as each area required so much mundane grind. Fun game, but it drags.
