Very conflicting experience here. Most Ubisoft games do end up looking pretty good visually and having great music, their production values are kind of similar to someone like Michael Bay, where the things on display mean nothing but usually look pretty damn good. The crazy John Wick execution style gameplay, immense detail of Chicago and amazing music score might at times, convince you what you're doing is actually meaningful. But it's not, the story is wet bread and although Aiden is very cool and badass most of the time, he's a piece of cardboard, an action figure. A strong visual and gameplay base does not mean anything when your beautifully rendered Chicago has nothing to do in it. There were times that felt great interacting with the city, mostly figuring out the puzzles to activate the cTOS towers, but that's about it.
