The story is incredibly well-written and has great dialogue. The main storyline and side missions are immersive, and it's great that you can switch between the two protagonists at any time.
The combat is the best in the franchise, with its series of impressive mechanics, weapons, takedowns, boss fights, and more.
The stealth is among the best in the franchise, as you feel like the ultimate assassin.
The visuals are out of this world, and the designs throughout make you feel like you're actually in Japan's historical period.

Despite how good the combat is, it?s occasionally clunky.
Microtransactions are still a thing in the Assassin?s Creed franchise, but they shouldn?t have a place in this franchise, let alone in video games.
The game is very intensive, and you may need a very powerful PC to have a compelling gaming experience.

Multiplayer.itTechnically, it is excellent especially for recreating scenarios.
The care taken in historical reconstruction is commendable.
The two characters really offer two very distinct styles of play.
This is exactly what you would expect from an AC.

The gameplay loop related to assassinations is very repetitive.
Sometimes, it can be very frustrating during checks.
Fights are never really exciting.

A beautifully designed game world with four changing seasons.
two protagonists with different playing styles and strong personalities
Many small gameplay improvements with a big impact.
less pressure for 100% completion
Less quantity than quality despite 60 to 80 hours of gameplay.
Stealth is back
More varied combat system

In the long term, exhausting many secondary objectives of attacks (but largely optional)
A lack of refinement and diversity in secondary activities.
The combat system quickly becomes monotonous over time.
dubious violence against civilians
