i rarely buy multiplayer games with real money (with the only notable exception being D2 and mw2022) but this one was different, i remember seeing this back in 2023 at the playstation showcase and thinking it was interesting, and almost a year after that it came out to receive fantastic reviews and grea success. so i figured id get it after seeing a few clips and was (at the time) really needing a different multiplayer game to play other than fortnite. and im so glad i bought this, the gameplay is so much fun, simple but fun. i also love the satirical starship troopers esque tone to the game, it makes the game so much more fun. i really respect the developers for their approach to the grind of the game, everyone has an equal chance to get all the upgrades and cosmetics regardless of whether or not you spend more money on super credits. this is one of the only times i will ever give a multiplayer game 5 stars (only 3/4 come to mind when i think about 5 star multiplayer games)
i will keep playing this game and supporting our march to freedom against those damn bugs and bots

FOR SUPER EARTH!

tbh i enjoyed this game a lot more than what i expected, gonnna try and write a decent review for this

story/characters-

the story felt a bit all over the place, probably due to the way the sequences are played out, but all of the different sequences didnt feel connected to each other at all storywise, apart from starricks little moments at the start of each one.

i really enjoyed the dynamic between the frye twins, they really felt like a genuine brother and sister duo, espically with the comedic undertone of the game, which i actually enjoyed compared to many people, i felt it helped with the relationship between the two protagonists

i really enjoyed meeting all the famous historical figures like alexander graham bell, charles dickens and queen victoria

gameplay-

felt rather stripped down and simple compared to its predecessor (unity), but was still fun nonethless, the combat was simple yet brutal, and the stealth was fun enough, but the parkour was not good at all compared to previous titles (yes i know its practically impossible to surpass unity in parkour but stil) and the grappling hook just made the traversal so much worse, it completely removed the need to climb up walls when you could just press L1 and youd be at the top in half the time, the grappling hook did have its uses tbf, ziplining across the stupidly wide streets of london was a good use, aswell as using it to get out of combat

open world/side activities-

london was a great setting for the game, but it really felt too large, far too big for an assassins creed game (known for their dense and packed environments), the side content with conquoring all the boroughs was exactly the type of shit i like, with the map being split into smaller portions and those smaller portions having activities to do to then capture/conquer those smaller parts of the map.

overall-

i really enjoyed this, probably more than i shouldve but oh well, i had a lot of fun, even though the story was a bit all over the place i still really enjoyed it. unity still better though
