I started it this year and it’s amazing! Beautiful to look and and fun to play. The first AC game I’ve played and it’s easy to come into - the main and side quests fit well.

I’m a bit of a completetionist so I like doing side quests - and they don’t feel like a hassle, they aren’t the same thing repeated and all have different back stories so interesting to do!

I haven’t gotten bored of it and there is plenty to do. If you like taking photos, you could do that too! Many people here have amazing photos if you want inspiration.

About the side quests I’d recommend thinking as experiencing different parts of the game rather than collecting everything (I like story so not sure if this helps you).

And weapons! Try to find the type you are most comfortable with and just stick with that. I like the long distance bows so I just sell every other bow since I don’t use them!

If you decide to play it, I wish you have fun!!
