This definitely wasn't a bad Assassin's Creed game, but it was definitely flawed in many aspects. From a gameplay perspective I think this is probably one of the more fun Assassin's Creed games in recent history - it really goes back to its roots of being a stealth assassin style game. I loved tackling each infiltration from a super stealthy angle utilizing all the tools I had in my disposal and found that to be one of the more satisfying parts of the game. I played on the hard difficulty so dying in a few hits really helped push me in that direction, but I really feel like that is the true way to play the game other than the storm the castle, parry, dodge, hit style. There were parts of the story that shined, like the beginning and end, but everything in between really felt lackluster. I felt no animosity with the Order and I never really understood why Basim became a Hidden One. Most of the main story I was zoning out for and half the time didn't even fully understand why we were killing the guys. I am really interested in how this fits into the overall Assassins Creed story and am definitely looking forward to seeing what they do next.
