I put 37 hours into ACO over the first weekend
It’s an absolute tour de force of an AC game. There is so much to do, and none of it involves collecting feathers or flags, so you just want to explore the entire mahoosive map. I wasn’t sure on Egypt first as a setting, but now I’ve totally bought into it completely. It looks simply stunning on PC at 1080/60 at Ultra, and it’s only the slowdowns that plague that version in the cities that irks at all (I’m personally seeing drops into the low 50fps at times, and have had to upgrade my HSF due to the game wanting to run the CPU at 100% for extended periods due to bad optimisation). Bayek is the best character since Ezio too, proper mean but proper funny at times too.
I sorely missed AC last year, but this was so worth waiting for. If I hadn’t played Life Is Strange this year, then this would be the best game I’ve played in the last 12 months.
