Slightly underwhelming start, but I'm glad the pace is breakneck after Ubisoft exploded the mindless, byzantine hud and menu paraphernalia in the latter half of this series.

Other games have come out this year, so shelving this. To be honest, I might not bother coming back to this, even as an OG AC fan. I think it really was a top tier game as late as the mid 2010s, but it's just too outdated now.
