completely superior to the first two generations in pretty much every regard. has the same narrative concept as ac1 but it's told in a way that's significantly less stiff and amateurish. no nine-ball tho - kinda tragic

could be a tad harder by the end (that final stage was a little toothless, albeit a cute nod) but it's all killer and no filler nonetheless. not one mission felt like an eye-rolling¹ waste of time²

@nowitsreyntime17 if the controls are fucking with you btw, i've heard of people mapping the dpad to be all actual movement, face buttons for camera and bumpers/triggers for weaponry and such

game lets you rebind everything, so anything's fair game. maybe give it a shot
Good to know, it's been a bit since I played it last so I forget if it was strictly the controls or not. Might've been filtered idk lol, thanks tho
