Pro
- A splendid digital London with a beautiful atmosphere and an amazing OST.
- The first AC with two protagonists. Both unique in a very immersive story.
- Captivating and frenetic,yet less technical, combat system
- Lots of things to do in a more classic AC experience...
Cons
- ...but the last one of the Desmond Arc
- Bugs and glitches here and there.
- It can be repetitive to certain players
- Despite trying for something new, it goes back to well know dynamics of the series.
Overall Verdict
7.9: The last true classic AC game of the series. Full of fanservice but in an overall well-designed game with an interesting story, for most of the fans of the saga this will not be a burden but rather a value. It deserves to be tried even just for the historical period in which it is set. The music and atmosphere manage to make the player live a unique experience. Absolutely recommended if on sale.
