"basim isnt a warrior so be careful" is a funny way of saying "we didnt give a fuck about the combat so all of your controls feel unresponsive"

#parrying in all of the other games in this era were fine. what happened? #also this is basically an extended dlc and you can feel it in the writing. its such a nothingburger #its a stealth game where if you try to nudge your character they take 5 extra movements forward and get spotted immediately. very cool. #the parkour sucks and is now more restricted #what origins and odyssey did that felt so good was being able to pick your spot and go from there #ppl complain that there werent Any stealth elements but thats just how You decide to play it babey #i miss the Actual freeclimbing ability as in i'm not railroaded into using fucking handholds on long climbs. the parkour is simply not good #enough to do that nor is it interactive enough for me to want to be forced to do that #i'd like the setting more if the freerunning and climbing felt better ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #its next to impossible to get into a good grove. even to get one clean line without randomly jumping off or getting pulled to an unrelated #wall/object. it probably felt better in origins/odyssey because it was so much more open but still closed when in fortresses and such #also? the chain assassination suck. not nearly as fun as being able to chain your own actions #but all of this makes sense when you know that 1. this was originally a valhalla dlc and 2. it was made with the intention of being #ported to ipad. of all fucking things. #whatever i guess im just waiting for the next era cuz thats when the games end up being good again #pretty bummed. especially bc i played thru all of valhalla and didnt like it and am now going through basically an ac1 remake pasted onto #valhalla assets. #and tbh there isnt enough to do in a map this large even though its smaller. ik other people dont like fetch quests but it at least gives me #a reason to go to other areas where like. i havent even been outside the city bc it hasnt set me there. i dont want to just aimlessly wander #i have a lot of issues w this game but i'll shut up now
