So as to list some of the more positive aspects of the game:
The largest open world of the series, to the extent that the game could be considered a sandbox game even without the main storyline.
A main story line that attempts to explore the Templar perspective of the Assassin/Templar conflict without diminishing the impact or ignoring the conclusion of the Desmond Arc.
Some surprisingly well-detailed first person segments
A stunningly rich and enjoyable sailing experience that captured the whole "Age of Sail" era far more than any game I've yet seen.
Some extensive and enjoyable multiplayer content.
Brilliant level design and combat mechanics (as are standard for the series).
Overall an enjoyable game with much staying power, if not my favorite game of the entire series. I would highly recommend it, but this review doesn't do it justice. See the game for yourself and see what you think.
