First of all the positives: Paris and its sights are very lovingly and authentically designed. In my opinion, this is a nice complement to the known from the teaching of history knowledge of the French Revolution, because now, thanks to the game I got an idea of what is "gone off" to the time on the streets of Paris. As with all parts before, Ubisoft has not let in creating an authentic ie rags. In little time jumps You can also submit the Paris later epochs explore - very interesting / varied and in my opinion a good idea.
However, compared to the relatively boring story. Earlier Assassin's Creed offshoot have since far more ripped me away. However, this is also due to the fact that the story of Desmond Miles after the third part was over, and now Ubisoft stop everything after that is (exaggerated words) ranklatscht. The story is so so a Lala-thing, just to play it without actually mitzufiebern.
Let us now turn for the worse: now must bring four updates for the game Ubisoft has (!!!). I am not an opponent in principle of it, but if I have to wait a total of several weeks and download over 10GB data, then it is me but a bit too colorful. positive it should be noted that, at least for me, since the last update a stable framerate is what makes now possible the smoothest gaming experience.
However: there are still objects / people that suddenly appear in front of you so that you're running against or by an even completely block the way. Just when you before waking escapes extremely annoying. Have so must start from scratch some mission only because such a shit ...
A disaster are also fighting. Ubisoft has promised a new and better combat system. New is, however, absolute Schei **. Not to compare with other games. So fighting not more fun - it's basically just a better reflex training. Well it's just that it makes you a lot more creeps on its own.
The stealth system is solid. I expected more, partly it is spongy (even a RPG Legend of 2011, the elegant solved), but you can still get away with it by far cope better than when you're fighting.
Now we come to my biggest gripe: course!
The series lives of this element. In the second part of 2009, I was thrilled. Although there were inaccuracies in the controllability Ezio, but in those days a has totally blown away the whole thing anyway!
But now Five years have passed ... Every year you bought anew the current branch and thought to himself, all well and good - but hardly revolutionary. For PS3 times I thought, "Okay no longer works, stop on the old console." Last year I've forgiven, because it was the first game for the PS4. But now I'm sitting in front of the new console and discovers that the trail system is almost as bad as five years ago.
Arno to climb through a window. It expresses all the necessary keys. But he preferred to run against the window frame, stumbling back, is discovered by guards, of whom one wanted to hide. Arno is killed by this and you can be a whole mission start all over again. So you wasted several times about 1/2 hour of his life, the same mission over and over again to play, since comparable Unsteuerbarkeiten Assassin occur in various forms. Even one makes nothing wrong. However, the game will interpret the entered key combinations to suit your mood. In the new generation of consoles more than disappointing, especially since Ubisoft has announced large that with a new control everything will be better. However, this is hardly the case.
The multiplayer component I do not play, therefore all I can give them a rating.
It should also be mentioned that there is an additional app for the game. Some chests can be opened only by using this app, some missions are played only by using this app. Why Ubisoft chooses this path and you just can not do so both as in previous offshoots is beyond me.
All in all the game gets even two stars, since I as mentioned above, am an old fan of the series and because I find beautifully designed virtual Paris.
I need to have regret buy this game. The nearest branch does not come to me as a blind buy the house. If others do the same to me, then maybe comes Ubisoft to the realization that you have to deliver a good game the players after big promises.
At Christmas, however, is another Ubisoft game under the tree: Far Cry 4. I hope it is as good as the reviews it can be announced and I therefore can forget this crap here.
