Melting Parrot

Some good ninja stuff, good samurai stuff, it took them a long time to get here but boy I'm glad they did.

Pros:

Naoe feels like the old assassins from previous games
Yasuke definitely doesn't, which is very welcome change
Absolutely stunning world that feels busy and lived in

Cons:

Maybe the world actually might be too big?
It's an evolution not a revolution, if you've bounced off Assassin's Creed in the past this doesn't break the mold.
