The game is smooth, the mechanics are refined, the missions are exciting and the community is vibrant. Spectacular game that i can't wait to see grow.

It's a straightfoward game with a satisfying gameplay loop. Land, survive, accomplish your task, and leave. The time you spend preparing for the objective always makes the objective seem like a peak to build to, instead of a grind. Very enjoyable.

Beta is very fun, gameplay is smooth even before its full release. Very enjoyable experience

This is one of the clunkiest AC games i've ever played. The free-running and climbing are clumsy, the weapons selecting on keyboard/mouse is very difficult in combat, and the game is visually disappointing. Models render while you move, so half the crowd doesn't appear until you're already moving through it and things disappear as you climb up buildings. The story isn't particularly engaging, either. One of my least-favorite AC games.

Great story. Combat is different than other games i've played, but quick to pick up and innovative. The visuals and audio work done is great, especially the motion capture. I especially like the "fail too many times and your progress will be deleted!" feature because it really introduces tension. Additionally, the lack of a clear tutorial forced me to think on my toes to get a grasp on the controls, which i thought was challenging and fun.

Overall, i really enjoyed this game and would definitely recommend it for the storytelling experience alone.

Specs: Ryzen 5 3600 and Titan X. My friend bought me this game as a gift on release.

Visually, the game is beautiful. I don't have raytracing, but max settings and 60 FPS makes this game stunning. Haven't been this impressed since Skyrim. the city scapes and skyline are nice and the city actually feels full of life.

Gunplay is fun and engaging. Lots of different ways to enjoy combat, form melee to long range to full-speed shotgunning. Very versatile, good cover system, good synergy between guns, hacking, and stealth.

Story (what i've gotten to so far) is dynamic and immersive. Character building is excellent and you really feel a connection to some of the characters. side missions are fun, totally avoids the repetitiveness of other games.

Driving is a bit clunky, but the whole experience of traveling through the city is so fun that i often choose to drive instead of fast travel.

I've only had one crash and two glitches that forced me to restart the game, after 40 hours of gameplay. So really not bad. Some glitches with cutscenes and floating cigarettes or cans or whatever, but nothing i'd consider "game breaking".

Overall, i'm very impressed and highly recommend it.

I'm a very big fan of this game. It's much easier to pick up than other Paradox titles, like Hearts of Iron or Europa Universalis. At the same time, it offers a much more engaging strategy experience than many other strategy games i've played. There is a good level of management, and the AI is competent if you'd rather not be bothered with micromanagement.

Look, don't buy this game if you're expcting some horror or thriller game. it is short, so don't buy this game and expect to grind at it for days. But if you're looking for a good story with simple mechanics and a cool environment, this game is a great choice. i won't give away spoilers, but i thought that the story was very well thought out and well told.

tl;dr: DON'T BUY THIS IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR FAST PACE. BUY IT FOR THE GREAT STORYTELLING.
