One of the best entries in the saga that got many well deserved bad critics on release because of its many bugs and the disastrous state at which it launched. 10 years later I can comfortably say the technical aspect is vastly improved, ending up with a great game that suffers of the Ubisoft syndrome of needing to have 3.000 markers on the map to feel "complete". In truth, the main story and the Paris Stories will give you more than enough content without needing to bore yourself to death opening chests and chasing cockades through the roofs.

With that out of the way, the game greatly improved on the parkour and combat mechanics from the previous iterations, having the perfect balance between stealth/assassinations and open combat. Current releases are just too actiony for my taste.

Paris is wonderfully recreated and invites you to explore her to the very last corner. The french voice over takes the immersion up to the next level.

Overall would recommend as a solid Assassins Creed, if you don't really like the new entries.
