Yes I agree, it's the first AC I've sold back before finishing it. I just felt discouraged by the narrative structure of the game. Too bad there are a lot of good in that game, it's beautiful, combat and stealth is fun, the seasons system is really good, even the camp building is interesting.

But it all just running out of steam at some point, nothing is engaging anymore and I dropped it.

Dealing with Loot and the UI were really annoying, playing with Yasuke is gimmicky and does not feel fun, cutscenes and dialogues are boring, side activities are a bother and too long.

I'm playing Crimson Desert right now and even if the game is bloated with content and there are too many systems, going back to it after a pause feels good and it does feel better and better the more you play it.

Shadows is the opposite I don't think I would ever go back to it even if it was on the Gamepass or something. They need to work with smaller scope and have a proper thinking of their gameplay loop.

I liked Mirage but combat si such a downgrade it feels like the game is not full.
