What players say

78% of 20,642 reviews are positive · 65% of 105 in the last 30 days

Players praise the flexible stealth, including undetected, lethal, nonlethal, and direct approaches. The most common complaints are frequent crashes, Ubisoft Connect login or account problems, and the loss of online co-op and multiplayer after the server shutdown; many players say offline launch options reduce the crashes.
