I don't even know why people still buy Assassin's Creed each year!
My first game in the previous generation was Assassin's Creed 1 and it soiled my entrance in the generation leaving a bad taste in my mouth right out of the gate. Because I needed redeeming for peace of mind I also bought 2 and while it was leaps and bounds better, it was still an overall average game filled with menial and excruciatingly boring side-quests/tasks meant to artificially prolong the game's playtime. A plague on nearly all open-world games that Assassin's Creed helped spread. Not to mention the mission structure in a game that tries to have an overarching plot is aggravating and defeats the purpose. Again, another open-world game stupidity.
Never bought another Assassin's Creed game after that and never will again. My hard-earned money is much better spent elsewhere, especially when the publisher throws smoke and mirrors tricks at you like Ubisoft is an expert at these days.
