Some of the writing is pretty solid, the dialogue is often funny & I found a lot of characters and their arcs very interesting. It wasn't enough to get me to keep playing tough. The combat felt flat and a lot of the choices you make story wise feel shallow. The subtext of the game gives me a "both sides bad" vibe. Also the inventory menu and UI is kinda ugly lol

I'M ALREADY AT FULL HEALTH
The graphics and atmosphere are gorgeous. The parkour movement is nice enough, scaling Note-Dame was very memorable.
That being said, I thought everything else was meh. The story was a rehash of sorts of AC2, and the main character is bland. I couldn't get into the combat OR the stealth. Some assassination animations and kills are cool but that's it. The core mechanics are more frustrating than challenging. I understand that perhaps it was mean to feel more 'realistic' but all these characters swing a sword like they're on opioids.
