  One of the most mind-numbing gameplay loops I have ever experienced with both combat and story progression. The cutscenes and dialogue animations were very awkward and poorly animated. From a AAA company I expected a better experience, start taking notes from Indie developers at this point. Save yourself the time and money from this abomination.

  The only thing great about this game is the graphics, parkour sucks imagine can't climb anything you want on a assassin's creed game. Gameplay wise stealth is great playing as naoe is awesome, yasuke is just standard ubisoft RPG character, combat is the same as their previous RPG style AC games nothing new. And jesus christ those awful so-called cutscene they have no soul, i only played this game on japanese dub because it offers immersive experience nahhhh it's because the english one is bad P.S : Only buy this game on sale !

  The Graphic and fluidity is great. a very immersive game. the start of the game was a little long before you can start on the open world; But the mission are more diverse than the previous opus and we don't find long interruption sequence of the animus which is great in my point of view.

  its a good game but odyssey is better

  katana very epic

  Constant issues with Ubisoft Connect prevent the game from starting up most of the time. I have successfully gotten it to start twice, but the vast majority of time it simply fails to launch due to communication issues between Ubisoft Connect and Steam. Why is it trying to communicate with Ubisoft Connect in the first place? I bought the game on Steam for a reason; I don't want to have to deal with Ubisoft's bloated, failed effort at creating a storefront. Yet they crammed it in like they always do and right now it's literally breaking the game for me due to how low-quality it is. EDIT: I am still having this problem, but constant reboots allow the game to start up occasionally. As frustrating as this issue is I can't hold it against the rest of the game. Since I'm able to reach the actual game sometimes, I suppose I should actually review it. It's great, if a bit by-the-numbers; it's not the game's fault that Ghost of Tsushima came out relatively recently and feels almost identical, but it's a reality that the setting has been done to death. Still, this is an Ubisoft open-world collectathon. You know what you're getting from it. Its production values are high and if you want an open-world collectathon set in Japan, this is about as good as Ghost of Tsushima, so flip a coin between the two or play both if you're really desperate for more. Just... be warned that like all Ubisoft games it's locked behind Ubisoft Connect, which is an awful, useless, bloated terrible piece of software that makes my blood boil with loathing towards Ubisoft as a company every time I'm forced to interact with its wretchedness. Usually I wouldn't focus so much of my review on it but given that its terribleness is actively making it difficult for me to start the game there's not much else to say.

  so awesome

  MY SCORE 7/10 - Technically YAY, woke, weak story, black Samurai, combat is fun but nothing compared to Ghost of Tsushima/Yotei. "AC WOKE" - I absolutely do not recommend! Right from the start: I'm a huge AC fan since its original release back in 2007. HOWEVER, as a fan of this franchise I do not enjoy this forced DEI. I have to be clear and honest. I've seen and read almost all controversies and backlash about Japan material not being right, and of course the elephant in the room: YASUKE. My point is, the Japan setting is universally appreciated and Ubisoft had the chance and privilege to make the best of it and sadly, they did not. As a person of color myself, I would've preferred something similar like Ghost of Tsushima: A Japanese samurai with determination and character. Yasuke feels forced and so does the team-up with Naoe - poor script, woke script. Without a doubt, technically it is an amazing looking game. In terms of graphics and environment it is absolutely stunning. But the product as a whole feels MID and story should've been better… I'm one of those fans who enjoy the RPG style AC titles though. Positives: + Technically and graphically - the best AC title so far + Insane real like creation of Japan's environment + Parkour is very solid, although there is not much to parkour except in castle areas. Obviously, the setting takes place in the 16th hundred in Japan and there aren't many high buildings, except castles and towers + Combat is solid and can be satisfying but admittedly, I think Ghost of Yotei's combat has far more depth + Naoe is cute and I enjoy playing her + Exploring Japan is incredibly fun + Some likeable characters like Junjiro and Sorin the monk. These two alone gave the game more "meaning" for me, although they are just some side NPCs. The way they interact and help Naoe was deep. Negatives: - The story and the missions aren't really gripping that keeps me in my seat, unfortunately - The story feels so fragmented. There's no ark, no immersion. Main target xyz is at xyz, kll him and that's it. - Yasuke, although a fun guy to play with feels "forced". Meaning they included him in the story without deeper thoughts. Especially when Yasuke and Naoe meet up. The whole team thing felt forced. The script was weak. It felt like watching a B-movie with a $25k budget. Again, the story in thise department is very weak. To be fair though, the beginning with Yasuke was very reasonable but the team-up with Naoe and his motivation was so weak. It could've been done better in my personal opinion. This one is a tough one and I held myself back to buy this. At the end I did buy it on SALE. The negativity surrounding it: a black "Samurai", the whole drama surrounding it hurt the whole franchise and the company. Minus the DEI, Black Lives Matter and what not… Dear Ubisoft, it's a game, it's a consumer product. As everyone figures, the sales are below expectations and another AC title based in the US civil war has been canceled. Please stick to the fundamentals. I appreciate Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla more.

  This game sucks, but I’ll try to finish it. Bad voice acting, worse dialogue, and stiff character animations.

  its not smooth to run at all for me, things either load or dont and texture is all over the place. cutscenes only play alittle before stopping to load among other issues it serggests downloading onto a solid state rather than hard drive

  good fun game never play the assassins creed a part form first one many moons go this one made play again love it wise i had more time to play it

  The combat is extremely unbalanced. If you're fighting a higher level character your attacks are sort of like if a 5 year old was hitting the rock. it feel completely futile if you are using the girl main character. You could use the Black Samurai main character but then your big and sluggish. Also its not why most people bought the game. I definitely did not want to be a samurai, I wanted to be the Shinobi. Which is why it was so disapointing that they made her so weak. I'm surprised because prior AC games were more balanced. Not sure what happened with this game but save your money.
