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
