It's one of the better ACs. I'm not far in yet but I jumped up and celebrated loudly when I experienced the new quick descend feature.
It's probably the AC where it's the most fun to get around.
What I don't like is the new stealth system. The fact that there is no possibility to move around corners when in cover is just pathetic. They should've scrapped the cover system altogether.

 The performance is of course extremely bad. And frame drops happen everywhere and not just in crowds or fast action. I haven't seen a lot of annoying pop-ins and the glitches are pretty much up to par of what I'm used to with AC. It's generally pretty erratic, one time it's smooth even though there is massive draw distance and a lot of stuff happening and then frame drops in buildings for no reason.

I will say that while the performance is bad, the reaction to it is absolutely exaggerated. I played ACIV on PS4 and it was not much better. I remember hating the framerate at the start and gradually getting used to it. It also had the terrible input lag due to the low framerate. So yeah, this is once again the usual perpetual Internet rage machine working.

The way critics/everybody talks about Black Flag you'd think the game ran at 60 fps!!!
