tbh i enjoyed this game a lot more than what i expected, gonnna try and write a decent review for this
story/characters-
the story felt a bit all over the place, probably due to the way the sequences are played out, but all of the different sequences didnt feel connected to each other at all storywise, apart from starricks little moments at the start of each one.
i really enjoyed the dynamic between the frye twins, they really felt like a genuine brother and sister duo, espically with the comedic undertone of the game, which i actually enjoyed compared to many people, i felt it helped with the relationship between the two protagonists
i really enjoyed meeting all the famous historical figures like alexander graham bell, charles dickens and queen victoria
gameplay-
felt rather stripped down and simple compared to its predecessor (unity), but was still fun nonethless, the combat was simple yet brutal, and the stealth was fun enough, but the parkour was not good at all compared to previous titles (yes i know its practically impossible to surpass unity in parkour but stil) and the grappling hook just made the traversal so much worse, it completely removed the need to climb up walls when you could just press L1 and youd be at the top in half the time, the grappling hook did have its uses tbf, ziplining across the stupidly wide streets of london was a good use, aswell as using it to get out of combat
open world/side activities-
london was a great setting for the game, but it really felt too large, far too big for an assassins creed game (known for their dense and packed environments), the side content with conquoring all the boroughs was exactly the type of shit i like, with the map being split into smaller portions and those smaller portions having activities to do to then capture/conquer those smaller parts of the map.
overall-
i really enjoyed this, probably more than i shouldve but oh well, i had a lot of fun, even though the story was a bit all over the place i still really enjoyed it. unity still better though
