Refunding after 2 hours of play

I was super excited about the remake but obviously had my doubts. I think it’s really dumb the reviews talk about micro transactions and the FPS lock and not the actual game.

As a huge fan of the OGs the combat and parkour mechanics is mainly what’s driving my decision to refund. The parkour does seem like an upgrade from recent releases but still has major flaws. The animation team needs to do way better because comparing it to the OG both combat and parkour animations would flow into each other creating a unique experience that really felt like Assassins Creed.

I feel that is lost in the remake. I would’ve appreciated taking the original and actually fixing its flaws and tweaking it to have a closer experience to what I mentioned.

Naval combat feels awesome but I think because they did take the original and tweak it / make it look a lot more graphically cool. Some of the stealth that I experienced also felt like an improvement like the AI detection and general look. But there is a magnetic kinda feeling when trying to stealth / air assassinate still that was soooo incredibly smooth in the OG

The game looks beautiful but that can only take it so far.
