Great game to kick back and relax while doing typical pirate assassin things like petting cats and sinking enough ships to make woodcutters rich. Nothing captivating about the story and leaves a lot be desired in that department. A lot of emotional beats are missed because they were never truly developed in the first place. The story is still passable minus the missions outside the animus. But they really did nail the game play outside of numerous boring tailing missions. Ship combat doesn't get old imo and sailing while listening to shanties is always a good time. You can tell towards the butt end of the game that they really wanted you to buy the time savers with how much of a grind elite upgrades are, but realistically they are unnecessary. Overall its a 7/10 (very good) more than worth $5 or so on sale.
