What players say

86% of 63,823 reviews are positive · 76% of 1,059 in the last 30 days

Players most often praise the gory melee combat, exploration, and smooth performance. Common complaints target the short, repetitive campaign, weak story and character writing, and a map that often limits flowing parkour. Recent reviews also object to content in a newer edition not being included with the earlier Deluxe Edition.
