About Assassin:
POSTED: 14 SEPTEMBER This game has so much pointless side content on top of a game that actually has enough there to be interesting. The choice mechanics are a bit lame and at times completely broken and your gameplay does not match the allegiance of your character in the story. There was also a DLC where they force you to romance this chick/dude and start a family out of nowhere while you have many urgent time sensitive quests that supposedly waited for your stupid revenge story line to conclude after months and months. Then there is a DLC where you meet dead people in the afterlife and there isn’t so much as a mention of the supposed ‘true’ love of your character’s life who died because your character decided to act braindead for the sake of the plot. There are lot’s of quests where you have two suspects of a crime and the clues are by no means conclusive at all. Sometimes the choices are actually coded wrong like the Diona choice. You present a piece of evidence that only the imposter wouldn’t know but somehow they both do with no explanation. The voice actor for Alexios speaks way too playfully for more than half of the game’s most serious moments. His accent is also overwhelming to the point where he can’t put any energy into his acting. Lot’s of forced deaths that no longer affect the story once their questline is done. What is the point of a choice based game when you kill people for no narrative effect? The controls are awful and even if you rebind them your keybinds won’t work despite no overlap because some control functions are hardcoded (embarrassing) I rebinded the r1 and l1 bumpers with square and triangle, I made the dodge button ‘A’ and I made the interact button circle. It works much better because your major combat functions aren’t in awkward positions. One thumb can do all the work. No claw grip. Also way more responsive because your thumb has a lot more force than your left index finger. Who are the idiots who made this? They are a joke. This game wants to be a Witcher 3, Shadow of Morder Hybrid and it’s a pretty pathetic effort. Your character is practically a demigod but average joe’s can wreck you and take 200 sword swings. The game is artificially made more boring so that you buy items to skip the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ parts of the game. Skip this.
