The great part: incredibly juicy, bright picture, excellent soundtrack. The longest plot of all the previous parts and, by the way, quite good. The only hero of the series who immediately said that both the assassins and the Templars are just crazy fanatics)) He has his own cult - money, his own ideals, so he decides who to take out himself, depending on the situation. The character is very colorful - calculating, smart, daring, courageous, a little cynical, wears an assassin costume simply because he appreciated the outfit.
There are more than enough activities in the game: in AC 3 we hunted forest game - here we hunted sea game: sperm whales, stingrays, etc. In AC 3 we had shenbiao - here is a pipe with darts. Previously, we upgraded a villa/house - now we upgrade a ship. In AC: brotherhood we recruited assassins, now pirates. Exploring the islands and all sorts of Mayan buildings doesn’t seem necessary, but it’s addictive, analogous to searching for chests and secrets. In general, all these are old ideas, but played out in a new way. Sea battles and boarding are a special part of the game. All this has little to do with the essence of the game - but it’s very exciting.
And again, from time to time we run around in the present time, steal memories from other people's Animuses, learn how Abstergo (read Ubisoft) comes up with plots for new assassins. I even thought that they based real correspondence with changed names)). Respect for self-irony. And there is even a connection with past parts.
In general, the game is definitely worthy of attention, but be prepared, being distracted by everything except the plot, you will spend at least 50 hours in the game.
