"Buggy and boring"
3 stars"

It's very pretty, although the Norway setting is all one note and just generic snow everywhere. It could have been anywhere. They missed a trick not showing it in summer when there are amazing displays of wildflowers and colours. Disappointed to find the Nordic portion is only the baby area, and after that it's all over in England which manages to be in summer time despite it only being a 6 week journey between the two. I didn't like the storyline particularly and felt no attachment to any of the characters. The female voice actor does a weird Batman voice that's really annoying, and the male actor is boring. Lots of getting hung up on invisible walls, and not standing firm on the ground. NPC's not making sounds when they should (vocalisations clearly missing) and a massive lack of anything assassin-y. Soooooo, disappointing all round really.

"Combat is generic"
3 stars"

It is still a good game. The map is really well put together and the English country side is one of the best open world maps ive seen. The story is good and the structure is different and really good. That is where the good things end however.

While the combat has some cool moves and really good ideas, it is a terrible mess. It has really bad lag, its unresponsive, lacks innovation of any kind, is completely generic and feels like it is dated by 20 years.

They clearly didn’t put as much attention into the physics as they did the world design and story, which is foolish because it lets the whole game down.

"Extremely well put-together game"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

My initial purchase was to be Cyberpunk 2077, but reviews showed it performed very poorly on the PS4 – so this was my next choice. Being a fan of the Vikings TV show, it seemed like a logical choice. I thoroughly enjoy open world games and this is a cracker. Graphics and gameplay are both impressive, and the storyline is detailed. This was also my first foray into the world of Assassin's Creed, save I have been suitably impressed.
