2nd for me:francis:I don't even bother anymore. Humbled :mjgrin:
You can 'aim' your Stand Off mode a bit actually.

Single out the weak archer :mjgrin: still chain the Brutes after the fact. Rocking the Sakai armor I was wiping whole patrols by singling out the bytch of the group.

Back when I still cared about honor that is :wow:
Final verdict?

For me the game is about an 8.5 maaaaybe a little lower. It started out really fun, like the first 15-20 hours were the most fun i had in gaming this year by far. But I feel like the gameplay loop ended up kicking into overdrive early, and I got burnt out heavy. There’s still huge chunks of act 3 map i haven’t explored.

So many great things but there’s so many thing i think could be improved primarily the stealth and general enemy AI.
I got burnt out towards the end of the second island but its really all due to the progression being a bit too easy. I was a damn juggernaut with fully maxed everything maybe an hour into act 3. Should never happen.

Its a 4/5 game for me too but goddamn if it doesn't do so many things incredibly well that generally don't get emphasized at all. I don't know how people were saying "the story is weak" when its consistently on point and more engaging as things progress. The scale is concise, the atmosphere is perfect, and more than anything else - its fun. Its one of the few games I'd recommend to anyone and I find that something that's really hard to do these days.

Story was great for me. I think some of the side quest should have been implemented into the main story because they were really good. My only main criticism is I felt like act 3 was kind of short.

Did you notice the catapults/siege weapons around? They definitely got signs of stuff being left out of Act 3. Along with some of the "Army of The Ghost" references that needed more color as well

No spoilers but for those who have finished act 2, can you go back and wrap up those side missions/liberating once in act 3?
