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.
