This is the one game I'll never understand any praise for, it's the one hill I'm willing to die on that it's truly terrible.
The map is huge simply for the sake of padding playtime, it's nothing but copy/pasted assets with a complete lack of variety in biomes. I get it's Greece, but sunny weather and grassy fields gets boring the tenth time you've galloped through one, let alone the hundredth.
The side content is thin and lacklustre, nothing but fetch quests and "go here and clear camp" repeated so many times I lost count.
The story is just average, though I'd probably have enjoyed it more if the game wasn't pushed as an AC game and just a spartan game instead.
I put 150 hours into this to get every achievement, and I'm going to think about that on my deathbed and how I could've spent that time better.

Never thought I'd buy this game, let alone have it as my GOTY at any point in time, this shit goes unfathomably hard and it's by far the best new release I've played this year.
While the story isn't anything special, the lore itself is interesting enough to urge you to continue pushing through if you are enough about the story beats.
The gameplay though...incredible. This is an action game through and through, the parrying never gets old and the combos are such fun to pull out even against the most basic enemies. It's flashy, satisfying and the learning curve is balanced enough to where you WANT the next boss you face to be based around parrying, just so you can test yourself.

Played this for the first because of the show, pleasantly surprised by how well it had held up. Getting used to VATs was nowhere near as clunky as I thought it'd be.
Comparing this game to my experience with Starfield is quite sad honestly, I want to love Bethesda like I did when they released Skyrim...they just aren't the same as they were from 2008-2011.
Decent main story, great side content and variety of characters, and DLCs that provide different experiences from the base game, definitely worth trying if you've never played it before.
