Very late to the party but might as well leave a review after completing the entire game.

This is a wonderful game. It's a lot of fun to explore Egypt with how well the world has been crafted. There are a lot of breathtaking sights and interesting locations to find. The main character, Bayek, is a good character with stellar voice acting who remains good throughout the game.

Once you've played dozens of hours you can start to recognize the reused assets used to create areas but it hardly detracts from the overall experience. There's still a lot of different assets that give towns a good amount of clutter to look at.

The map is vast and takes a long time to go through. The open world activities are pretty limited though and repeat themselves over and over. The combat is perfectly serviceable, albeit a bit clunky at times. Overall it's just enjoyable to roam around Egypt, clearing forts and completing quests along the way.

Enemy archers are pretty annoying though. They have 100% accuracy and backpedal away from you at full speed. Healing in this game is also difficult to come by so I don't recommend playing on hard like I did. That difficulty is just not very fun until you know every enemy's moveset well enough to parry or dodge them all.

If you didn't like open world or ubisoft games before then this game isn't going to convince you otherwise. Purely mechanics wise this game is merely alright but as an overall experience it's one I will never forget.
