I am new to the world of Assassin's creed, not really knowing why I even bought this game (well except for being a history buff)
I finally completed the main storyline and the DLC's and as you can see it took it well over a 100 hours, mostly becuase I often got sidetracked with things to watch, experince and solve.
Since there is a lot to be said about this game, I will simply do a pro/con list maybe with some notes in the end. It does have good things in it

Pros:
- The map is HUGE, there are a ton of things to do and watch.
- The cutscenes are beautiful
- The main story is great (Though at times drawn out)
- I LOVE how I can control an arrow from the predator bow, just wish it had a longer reach
- I never get tired of the leap of faith
- A lot of playable hours in this game, more so that many others (Like Wolfenstein, only took me around 30 to complete)
- How can you not love gliding down a pyramid?
- Senu is awesome to help you get the lay of the land and mark targets throughout
- The amount of side quests are immense.
- For a first time AC player it was actually pretty cool.
- The fighting is easy to learn once you get the hang of it (and set your keyboard so it fits better, because the way it is set up at start is just insane, how are you to use one hand over the whole keyboard?)
- Did like the DLC The hidden ones as the main game does not give you closure to the relationship between Beyak and Aya, and The hidden ones also gives you the last tips to the origens of the brotherhood.


Cons:
- Many of the missions are fetch missions, and many, A LOT of them are the same, go kill that person, go find my stuff while killing this person.
- I experinced some gliches where a NPC stood in the way and would not move (like in a cage firing a arrow at nothing, but not moving, meaning I had to restart the game and the whole misison, AGAIN)
- Loadtime when fasttravelling between places far apart seems to take forever.
- Sadly the port to PC is not that great when playing with keyboard and mouse. You need a ton of keys just to control stuff.
- Some of the main story is really drawn out, having to kill off those of the acient order is just, well after the first 3 or 4 it gets repetative and you really just want to get it over with.
- Cameracontrol is one area they need to work on, often i stared into a rockface or a carpet, again showing that the port to PC is close to bad (or maybe I haven't played consols to tell if the same occurs there)
- Some areas needed more fast travelling points, one dessert didn't even have one, yet it was a desert the game forced you to return to again and again, tedius having to spend several minuts riding to get to the place.
- The leveling system does take a bit getting used to.
- Having to set your keyboard so it fits better, because the way it is set up at start is just insane, how are you to use one hand over the whole keyboard, that is just stupid.
- The DLC Curse of the pharoes is just.... Well a waste of time in my eyes.

On a note
it would have been great with a introduction to the gameplay, much I had to find out, with the help of Youtube, which shouldn't really have been nesessary. Ubisoft could have made it easier for newcomers to learn how the gamemechcanichs works, but instead you use hours to figure it out and figuring the best setting of the keyboard.

But still, despite the repetative nature of the game, I really loved just hanging around in the game, enjoying how they made ancient Egypt come to life.

Would I recommend you pay full price? Hell no, go find a good offer somewhere.

BIG NOTE:
Even though you buy the game on Steam you still need a UPlay account, which I stil haven't understood.
