How it feels

A fluid dance of shadow and steel where every infiltration feels rewarding and combat is a visceral, satisfying payoff.

What players say

Players praise the beautiful open world and dynamic seasons, but are frustrated by forced ray tracing and DLC that does not work across stores. The story is widely considered dull and the content repetitive, though the hideout building and combat have fans. Performance issues, especially on 8GB VRAM cards, are a common complaint.
