I'm interested, the move back to the original style and 20 hours playtime are both really appealing. I probably won't pick it up immediately though, might make a good Christmas game.
There's a member in here who thinks Sony games shouldn't be allowed on CDKEYS and only sold via their own shop on their console, if you call this person a fanboy he blocks you.
Reviews around the 8/10 mark which is fine for me.

Unfortunately Sony doesn't seem to issue full game codes for sale outside of the Store itself. Thankfully they do currently allow top-up code sales although even these seem to have crept up in price recently at online discounters; presumably they are no longer able to get quite the bulk discount that they used to.
Ready and waiting to get stuck in. Download it later on to make sure I can boot it up as soon as I get to games tomorrow. Does mean going handheld with Starlink while I keep an eye on the download, but that shouldn't be for long.
My one gripe is that, unlike many, I actually prefer the more recent AC games compared to the old ones, I loved Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla. The only one that was amazing to be before them was AC4 Black Flag so I'm a little hesitant about this if it's just older ones tarted up.
It's good to see that the default language is Arabic and all NPCs speak it too. Will help with immersion and it's nice to see some representation in a triple A game.
About 3 hours in. So far very good. It's classic assassin's creed. Stealth is the only real option as sword fights end quickly. The game's world is huge but not stupidly so like note recent games. It feels good to play, runs well and has the usual Ubi map full of stuff to do.

Played some more and started to upgrade a few bits. Which looks like changing the game massively as some of that optional upgrade paths make knives poison and then resolve bodies.
Hiding in the bushes and whistling never gets old. Then a quick kill and a yoink into the hedge.
The Arabic language needed to be downloaded as they decided to make English the default. But it only took a couple of minutes. Makes a big difference to the atmosphere.
I've also unlocked contracts which are side missions with very useful rewards. So I'll focus on them and then back to the story. The aide missions have additional objectives which if completed give more rewards, so you'll get more gold if you don't kill anyone.
It feels like Assassin's Creed 2 and has a very nice atmosphere. Very pleased they decided to return to the old style, even if it's a one off it's a reminder of how good the games were at stealth.
