What players say
89% of 61,535 reviews are positive · 88% of 353 in the last 30 days
Players most often praise Ezio’s story, Renaissance Italy, and the soundtrack. The dominant complaint is Ubisoft Connect: players report login, account-linking, ownership-authentication, and activation issues that can prevent the game from starting. Some also find the controls and parkour dated or report crashes and poor performance.
