What players say
87% of 69,377 reviews are positive · 89% of 1,117 in the last 30 days
Players praise the open-ended assassination puzzles, large sandbox levels, and replay value from experimenting with different approaches. Their dominant complaint is the confusing edition and DLC structure, including Part One, limited-time content, and unclear access to maps. Several also criticize online requirements and server maintenance in a single-player game.
