This is the first AC that I've been pumped for since ACII. I've played all of them since but it seems like each of them have gotten away from what I loved in ACII. I'm glad this one is focusing on a European urban landscape and not the ship combat or competitive multiplayer.



I liked the ship combat in AC4, but I feel like I spent 70% of the game on the ship and trying to upgrade it rather than being an assassin and traversing exciting locales.



AC3 was just overall disappointing with Connor as a character, and the open landscape of the wilderness just sucked to me.

Focus on the core Assassin's Creed mechanics
