This game is thrilling from beginning to end and really made for the best game in the series. This game is the identical formula. The game adds a new weapon type, bombs, a few cool travel additions(Ziplines, a claw to grab ledges and a parachute) but it doesnt feel as intense as the last game in the series.
I liked that in the last game there was a heightened level of justified violence and bloodshed that made the whole experience more intense as the combat was made into something really defined and even addicting like the platforming was. In the last game, the main character in the real world ended the game by stabbing one of the major characters in the stomach to death because a golden apple from templar history possessed him. This apple is pretty much the focal point of this games story as well as the ancient artifact. You use it once in the game and it kills all enemies on the battlefield instantly. Just an awesome game alltogether
