I loved the original and was looking forward to the remake. I'd kinda sworn off AC games as found them increasingly generic and soulless, hated Shadows.

Positive reviews tempted me to dive back in and wish I hadn't. The game looks gorgeous, but:

• doesn't feel particularly polished, bugged quests, janky camera
• the camera is far too close to character and there are no options to change this
• same issue with the sailing, og let you zoom out (i think) and all i can see is the bloody boat! Naval combat is also not as i remember

I think I'm just over the whole generic ubisoft template which just feels soulless and dated and will remember this the next time reviews are good.
