In 2007, Assassin’s Creed fused elements of stealth and platforming gameplay into something new. An imperfect and at times clunky game, it nonetheless sparked wide interest thanks to its unique approach to play and strikingly detailed historical setting. With a few further refinements, it became a landmark franchise.
HIGH Great features ease players into another massive world.
LOW It’s more of the same.
WTF I think I’m ready for the next mainline Assassin’s Creed now.
HIGH Get in, get out — nice and speedy.
LOW Pay-to-display cosmetics with no way to be earned in-game.
WTF Only America needs saving, apparently.
HIGH An in-game radio station full of salsa songs.
LOW Awkward changes to the gameplay loop that don’t move the series forward.
WTF Way more work needs to be done…
HIGH The intuitive and accessible gameplay is among the best in its genre.
LOW Oh boy, that dialogue…

Where FC3 wanted players to feel baffled and intrigued by the strange new world they were exploring, FC6 puts them in the role of a citizen of Yara, the fictional Carribean island on which the game is set.
