What players say
81% of 25,439 reviews are positive · 73% of 142 in the last 30 days
Players praise the story, philosophical themes, medieval atmosphere, and assassin-focused design. They often call the missions repetitive and the combat dated or clunky. The main current complaint is that the PC version may freeze or crash on modern systems and often requires file changes or community patches to run properly.
