8.5/10

Finally finished this game, after being behind in the series for years, and then restarting after getting half way through the game, due to needing to factory reset my computer.

Pros:
Great character development
Huge (at least compared to the other AC games) world to explore
Tons of side quests
Ship battles are pretty fun (and pretty intense, when you get 3-4 frigates and a couple man o wars on you)
Crafting system was okay, and it made you have to go out and hunt to be able to craft
Hunting was alright, harpoon hunting was pretty fun (although the trajectory of the harpoon was a little weird at times)

Cons:
Characters that I really liked died... :cries:
Ship trading route things, while good at making money, were insanely boring and annoying
Although I didn't do every side quest, the game seemed a bit shorter than the others
Every once in a while, even though ive done an objective for a main mission, it wouldn't register, and I'd have to reload from my last checkpoint
Slightly repetitive, like all the other AC games (although not quite as repetive as the others)
To get a full sync on your memories, you have to do certain things. to my knowledge, there's no way to see what those things are, unless you by chance do it without noticing, and then see the little progress box come up (about half of my memories are only 80% sync because of this)

Funny bug I found:
If you jump from the top of a windmill, onto one of the rotating fin things while its coming up, it shoots you about 100 feet in the air, and then kills you when you fall to the ground. I'm almost ashamed to say I did it for a solid 20 minutes, because it was funny.
