+Frontier is beautiful, hunting is vibe
+Naval combat is fun, mostly gets points for setting the stage for Black flag
+Connor is a decent protagonist who gets more hate than he deserves
+"Haytham is a templar"-twist was less obvious than I remembered and well done (Keep in mind I don't know the historical characters that well, they might be clues)
+Homestead is by far the best iteration of "villa management" in the series
+DLC is fun, even if it feels a bit fillery at times. I wish the AC games let you play with magical powers more!
-TERRIBLE remaster that looks worse than the original in many places (google comparisons and pirate the game if you can't find a legit copy)
-Lots of minor jank in stuff like controls and UI
-The two cities feel fairly similar to each other
-Tunnel segments, while fun in concept, outstay their welcome
-Story felt weirdly paced, and felt both too long and too short at different times.
-Modern day segments are awful gameplay wise
Overall a decent entry in the series that falls short of the best games. I have a lot of nostalgia for this one as it was my first entry in the series, and it both does and doesn't hold up today.
