1) Fantastically beautiful part. Even if there were some bugs at one time, today everything works smoothly. Every brick, every window has been carefully worked out; in the apartments of the rich there are expensive draperies, paintings, expensive furniture; in the simpler people there are simple wooden chairs, tables, and the sights of Paris.
The parkour in this part is incredibly watchable, smooth and effective, and also multi-level: along the top, and through buildings on different floors. The city is really alive, people sit there in cafes, sing songs, dance, kiss, plunder churches, go on strike. By the way, there are really a lot of crowds now and hiding in them is very possible.
2) Content: all tasks are based on three actions: kill, steal, find. The main plot is in the spirit of the series, with intrigue, but without excessive depth, but with the ability to stealth a lot. No complaints.
But the most important thing is the activities that exist:
- the game has a million additional and often interesting tasks that will allow you to explore many hidden corners of Paris and meet famous people of France at the end of the 18th century. For example, the Parisian stories - many of which form a mini-storyline; special respect for bloodless tasks - investigations.
So that we can finally start reading the mountain of text from the Database and get to know the sights in detail - the riddles of Nostradamus - sometimes too muddy, in the spirit of the game "Night Watch" with searching for places and keys around the city.
Without cool things, it will be really difficult to play, but they cost mountains of money, so it also makes sense to engage in the economic component not for the sake of entertainment: completing tasks for the Theater cafe and tasks for the assassins club are not at all easy, Now you will have to not disdain chests, especially since you won’t be able to crack them all at once, you need to improve your hacking skills.
And yes, now you have to carefully plan which skill you want to pump up: health, a powerful attack or the possibility of a double kill. These basic skills can only be unlocked gradually for special points.
There are also very cool and really difficult additional joint missions that you can complete alone and more than once if you really like it.
A reminder of the connection with modernity - Helix Rifts. Essentially classic arcade collecting games in a local setting.
In general, the game is interesting, fun and you don’t want to break away. All mechanics of previous parts have been brought to perfection. I recommend it.
