Visually, this is certainly the bestACyet, and the environments are stunning at times.
Its all good, and these little touches also affect the gameplay.
But, even the normal rooftop running has also been improved.
It works, and it works well.
Tomahawk to the face!
One area whereAssassins Creedhas always fallen a little flat is with combat.
A few enemies can shake counters off, but often the combat challenge is still sorely lacking.
Hunting and sailing
Two large new additions to the game are hunting and naval warfare.
Its simple, yes, but is well implemented and works well.
Its certainly not up toResident Evil 6levels of QTE-cheapness, put it that way.
Naval sections are excellent.
The online modes simply bolster an already impressive deal.
SomeACniggles still remain in places, but this is one of the years best games, make no mistake.
A definite must have, and the bestAssassins Creedyet.
