Bayek is the best at climbing out of all Assassin's so far right.

You can literally just press w+alt in any direction and on any surface and Bayek can scale it. Is this good or bad for your gameplay experience?

I dunno.. there are still lots of surfaces I've found that Bayek won't scale. He just stands there.

Haven't found many myself, even then, the few I find seem reasonable.

I have found ones that look like others, but Bayek won't climb them.
I've found teeny-tiny overhangs that Bayek should be able to grab onto and parkour up onto a ledge a few feet up.. but nope.
I have had surfaces that look easy enough to scale but Bayek won't get out of the water to climb them. Just sits there, treading water. Come back 5 minutes, climbs just fine.

At least 3 or 4 every game session. They seem many to me, and unreasonable. :-(

Well considering theres a sync spot where you literally mountain climb to reach it I'd say this is a fairly reasonable comment.

Except for no dedicated 'Parkour Down' button (jumping or dropping doesn't count), I'd say yes, Bayek's climbing is the best out of all the AC titles.

The problem with Bayek is that he doesn't climp up through slopes, he straight runs through them, which looks really bad. Seems like he's missing some animation like the one ACU and ACS characters use to clamber up flat slopes.

Yeah, it always bothers me when he does that. As an outdoorsman, I find it a lazy design and something Ubisoft did correctly in Syndicate yet either were either too forgetful, lazy, or distracted to implement in a game where such a mechanic is going to called upon much more often.

For me its hard to say, i always found for non sense or stubborness to either do too much or simply not do as i want.... but for me was AC Unity, sadly this title was plagued by 1000 of other technically issues =/

Easily the best climber to date. IMO

[mike.gp]

:D Thank you- as he surely is.

Thank you for sharing your feedback on Bayeks freerunning abilities, everyone!

I really like the free running in Origins but I really took to the freerunning system that was in Syndicate!

its a lot better, was quite frustrating in the other games sometimes
one thing that does my head in and always has is how sometimes you might try to jump over a small fence or ledge but instead the character turns sideways and runs along it
