How it feels

A deliberate, atmospheric blend of stealth and parkour across a historically rich open world, paced by investigation and sudden bursts of lethal action.

What players say

Players love the atmosphere and story, but the PC port is broken without community-made fixes. The game crashes on startup, freezes when trying to reach defunct servers, and must be played offline. Gameplay is extremely repetitive, with the same gather-info-then-assassinate structure throughout.
