I would give it 4 stars for some negative elements that I will describe below, but it would be a sin. I have played rdr2, Horizon, Uncharted, Witcher, Far Cry, and many more, but I have never developed such an addiction with any other game.

I still search for a spare half an hour to play because:

- The landscapes are incredible. Ancient Greece, the colored temples and statues, the ancient Greek NPCs, where there is a huge variety in their names, have won me over since I watched simple videos. It is very positive that they paid great attention to details, something that many games overlook, but often that's where the essence lies. And with a huge map.

- The combat system: Abilities, upgradable weapons, dodging, armor, different engravings that boost them, are flawless. Plus, the naval battles element.

- Exploration: Everywhere you will find supplies, bandit camps, palaces, errands, everywhere, which will give you various weapons, supplies, and whatever else you want.

Now, onto the negatives:

- The darkest point of the game is its loading time. Whether when you start playing, fast travel, or during cutscenes, it is annoying. On a PS4 slim.

- It requires a lot of grinding to keep up, as you level up your spear and have to upgrade two main weapons, a bow, and five armor pieces, for which the random supplies you gather are not enough, so you get stuck with errands. And while it may be nice at first because you learn the game, it becomes tiring along the way. That's why you will see many people mentioning that they reach level 30-40 and then go to Athens for the first time.

- The system with the Bounty Hunters: Steal in front of people? It increases. Kill an animal in front of people? It increases. Kill an enemy in a restricted area and someone sees you? It still increases. Until you become good, the bounty hunters are personalized hell. And the higher your crime index goes, the more they hunt you. They can search for you up to five at a time, on land and sea. To avoid them, you either have to pay a fine, kill their sponsors shown on the map, or hide.

Despite all this, the game is not just playable, you will get hooked no matter what. It is the first AC game I have played, and although, as many say, it may not resemble the previous ones in many ways, it is an amazing RPG open world. Those who got the ultimate edition like me for 32 euros, including two other AC games from the past, DLCs, it was an incredible deal. Plus, it will give you a small boost when you start playing.

In conclusion, despite its negatives, I highly recommend it. And all this while I am approximately 60% through the main story

I definitely put it in the top ten of the best games I have ever played. The main story is like a movie, with epic battles, especially the last one, you think Snyder directed it. The controls are incredibly good, the combat system is flexible, and you need tactics for every robot you encounter, as well as hitting certain critical points.

Those who enjoy stealth will love it, I have never played a game with so many options for stealth. You can make a bunch of upgrades, especially with the skill points you collect, there is infinite looting of everything, beautiful landscapes, and many collectibles and files that require a lot of searching.

In general, imagine it as a high-tech Witcher, a bit simplified, in a good way always. You won't get bored for a minute. The price is also laughable, I bought it for 40 euros two years ago, the most money I have ever spent on a game and I still consider it worth it.

P.S. Don't underestimate the fact that your basic weapons are a staff and a bow. You will see that they can do damage that you wouldn't even expect from games with machine guns.

I played all 3. Where should I start?

First game: Rotten, dark, scary, dystopian atmosphere. You start completely lost without any idea of what's going on. Once you start understanding how to handle the Turrers, the Splicers, the Daddies, how to use the plasmids correctly, and you begin to make sense of the story, you can't stop playing.

Second: More or less the same, since you find yourself in the underwater city of Rapture again, this time playing as a Big Daddy. The truth is that the controls initially disappoint you a bit, but as you get used to them, you remember the old game. Many consider it the weakest game and rightfully so, but that doesn't mean it's not great. It's just that the bar is set very high. Also, the story is amazing.

Third: Completely different game. Different city, different era, different characters, different atmosphere, and a different story from every perspective. I won't say why it's so good because it's a spoiler. You'll understand once you reach the end. Levels like the first game and maybe even better.

I already miss them even though I played them about two months ago and I want to play them again. It's forbidden not to have played this epic. Anyone who didn't get it as a free game in February is worth spending 30 or 40 euros on it, really. Needless to say, it's a first-person game for those who don't know, because it's not necessary. Whether you like it or not, you will love it.

Rating: A solid 10/10
