Nice.
Don't have much to say for this one. But I dropped it pretty early because it wasn't able to keep me hooked. The tree parkour and smooth transition between stealth assassinations were awesome btw.

Fun and worth finishing. The beginning is a slow burn and has stopped me from really finishing the game again because it is so long.

Pros
+Retains many of the gameplay aspects of the Ezio Trilogy and expands on a few other aspects on it
+Tyranny of King Washington includes at least 5 hours of additional story/content (not including sidequests) and is split in between 3 episodes
+Homestead/Town building aspect which allows you to grow your town and get involved in a side story
+A lot of sidequests and collectibles compared to previous games
+Ability to hunt animals and sell parts or use them for assassin quests is fun
+DLC abilities are great and fun to play with

Cons
-Certain gameplay aspects such as recruiting assassins and pick locking are not as fun as previous games
-Real World story is a mess in terms of progression and not as interesting as previous games
-Game's story is not as good as previous games, environment and overall world is boring compared to previous games
-Strategy RPG like based mini game events replaced with cheap and short versions of it that involves running back and forth to cause commands to go through (i.e. shooting enemies with a group, etc)
-Music forgettable compared to previous games
-Glitches such as floor glitches, enemies spazzing out and walking through walls still occur
-DLC abilities not featured in main game
