I went into this very open minded, especially with how the quality of the games have been since 2017.
Yes this does what it sets out to do, and that is bring stealth and classic-esc Parkour back, they both feel great. However, stealth is so un-needed, the combat is piss easy that if you go loud its no bother, leaves stealth completely in the dark.

While I have tried to get this game 100%, Ive found myself literally falling asleep at the activities to do, let alone the bloody story (which was predictable as hell) I enjoyed some locations, the Oasis area, the secret under the lake ;) and some sections of the City, but I found it all samey, got lost because there is no variety. I guess you could say the same with the Ezio games as well, but the locations there had charm. This rendition of Baghdad feels so unoriginal, especially with the classic filter on, it feels and looks like AC1.

I cant say too much about this, graphics are good, Parkour is good, I wanted the steelbook, couldnt afford it, and I think would have been a terrible investment especially with how much I disliked this.
