The best looking game on the planet, provided you have a very expensive computer.

The game is a solid 7.8-8/10 for me. Here is a breakdown of some of the systems.

PARKOUR:
The parkour in this game is the best in any game that I've played and the game world is very carefully crafted around it. The sense of flow and speed that the game gives is incredibly addicting and running through its world is very fun. Every time I upgrade parkour abilities I notice a new way the world has been crafted for the system. For example, you can unlock both a long and high jump from a waist high vault. Every waist high vault is perfectly positioned near a wall or ledge that is the EXACT height and distance that one of those jumps gives you away. This is done in a way that is not annoying before you unlock the ability (ie certain jumps cant make it) as there are always multiple ways to get to any place. With every unlocked ability the parkour opens up and feels even more fluid and fun.

COMBAT:
The combat feels very similar to the first games combat, with positioning and stamina management being important. The game really has a strong brutal feel. Sharp weapons sorta "catch" on enemies for a second making them feel really brutal, and blunt weapons have a satisfying thud sound.

STORY:
Meh... just meh, many characters feel pretty boring and the story never really sinks hooks into you while playing. You care about certain things because the game tells you that you are supposed to, without actually working to establish those things to make the player really care.

The story drags down the most fun parkour sandbox around, again solid 8/10
