BIG step down from previous entries. I think this is a byproduct of Nintendo's greed and rushed game philosophies for this generation creeping into the AC franchise. So much cut content, missing characters, bland villager personalities, unremarkable music, lack of town/building upgrades, and content shelved behind DLC. Crafting was poorly implemented. I won't lie and say I didn't spend a ton of time on it, but I spent way more time on other entries. I don't see myself coming back to this game, at least not for a while.
