One of the few, if not the only game I don't regret buying so far this year. With the massive ♥♥♥♥ show that has been game dev in the last 3 years (Looking at you KSP2), I was so scared to see what this game was going to come out like.

I'm not one of the OG AC players, this is literally the first time I've ever heard anything about the franchise and that makes me kind of sad because of how great this game is. It took a bit of time for me to get used to playing it, but after a few hours of trying out different builds and just slapping together my AC with random ♥♥♥♥, it just started to make sense and I was having a ton of fun. 26 hours, and I'm most of the way through my second play through. I'm taking it slow, and trying to collect everything and get all the equipment possible, so you can totally clear this game in much less time if you want.

I will say, it's nothing like what I was expecting. I'm not sure *what* exactly I was expecting, but it wasn't what I got and I'm still blown away. The combat, the story, the VA, the art, how fluid the game feels and natural... this is what future game devs need to look at for a good reference piece. I don't care WHAT type of game they are making, they need to look here and take some damn notes.

If you bought the most recent COD (MW3 2023) and think that's a good game... please stay away, you will likely just call this game ♥♥♥♥ because you are brain dead. For the rest of you, pick it up before the year of ♥♥♥♥ games ends so you can cull the depression you've gotten from the gaping hole in your wallet this year has left.
