So why am I so happy? 1. Got the game so cheap 2. A million bugs and performance issues are fixed 3. I have the Pro so the frame rate is as smooth as butter. 4. The game is awesome. So yeah you can really tell there was no last gen version. The game is a proper next gen Assassin’s Creed in gameplay and graphics. Story is awesome so far.

I have to disagree. While I didn't experience many of the bugs that plauged the games launch either, I still rate it as the worst AC game by a countrymile.
Why? The gameplay is dreadful by AC standards, focusing more on stealth than combat. So players may like this, but AC is not, and never has been, a sleath based game. In particular, the need to finish off ever assassination target with the hidden blade is extremely cumbersome. As each target is so heavily guarded and almost impossible to sneak up on, you re forced into mass brawls which Atprno really struggles in as he has virtually no health, cannot counter properly lile other protagonists and cannot dodge gunfire. It makes the gameplay a chore.
Platform around the city, a key gameplay element, is fundamentally broken as the streets are too far apart to jump across, umlike last gen versions. This makes much of the travel around the city really frustrating as you have to constantly come back dowwn to street level. There is also no really character to the city as all the streets and buidlings are carbon copies of each other. Other locations in past games, at least mixed things up.
Equally, the plot is a bog-standard revenge plot mix with a cliched romeo-juliet love story. The characters are bland and by time of the reveal of the main villian, I had completely forgotten where I had met him previously in the story.
