This game is impressive in some ways and pretty awful in others. It took me a while to adapt to the game world, when I first started playing. It was a new type of game for me and I couldn’t understand the scope of the map at first. It is a beautiful game with loads of cool details and the setting is awesome. The game world is fairly impressive and it genuinely feels huge with some cool environments.

The problem is that this game is repetitive and bloated with boring content. I mean, it’s still a good experience but overall it does get very boring. The side missions are a copy and paste of 3 or 4 main mission types. While the main story is ‘God awful’ and doesn’t even make any sense. It is depressing from the start with kids getting murdered. Then it has a ‘girl boss’ storyline that finally just takes over the whole ending suddenly. Then it just gets laughably bad during the last few cutscenes.

They force you to play the last few missions and a final boss with this female character. When the main point has been leveling up and customizing your main character throughout the game. So you finish out the main story with this other character with no customization. It’s really weird and totally shoved in by Ubisoft needing a woke story with a ‘girl boss’ character. Man, the ending is so stupid, it is lazy as hell and they completely ruined the already boring story with this crap.

Anyway, in some ways this is a great example of Assassin’s Creed gameplay and a cool historical open world. Jesus Christ though, Ubisoft just packs so much repetitive content into these games. It’s definitely worth experiencing the new RPG style in the series but this game is pretty much 50% awesome and 50% boring as hell.

I don't like Ubisoft Connect, and I don't like microtransactions. Would have been a good game otherwise.

Standard Ubi open-world game. If you are into Egyptian history, then it will be interesting.
