The most underrated offering in Ubisoft's modern catalogue. AAA level design combined with the least taxing open world Ubisoft has ever made. Should have been the direction Ubisoft took going forward.
Plot might be all over the place and its tone and theming can be seen as (god forbid) cringe. But I still like it.

A very experimental entry in the series. It does not land everything, especially in its convoluted writing and sub par gameplay. However the direction it took is admirable and Tabata's directing quirk grew on you that by the end the game manages to coherently close a jumbled mess into a tearjerking and amazing conclusion
Many say that this is the worst expansion. Its debatable. But even if it is the worst, it is not in any way, bad. A lot of trials and dungeons in this expansion are very unique, with very quirky mechanics. Its design influence from the eastern part of the world is also great, with a mix of Chinese, Mongolia, and Japanese culture meld together into an amazing journey.
With more time in the oven, this game could be something special. As it is, its an entry I encourage anyone try. Bugs are ironed out mostly. Gameplay is quirky, but the progression and cosmetics is fun. Not to mention the best setting for any AC game. Game also looks amazing even if its an early 8th gen game.
