I liked Paris very much. I spend hours just exploring the city.

Unfortunately everything else was pretty much average. Main story was way too short, again sticking to usual Ubisoft's attitude torwards AC series with putting some historical events in the game but not thinking how that event fits in the story, but just puting in it for the sake of being in the game. Poorley designed characters, and you only see each a few times because the main story is too short.And I couldn't get rid of the feeling that Ubisoft had  quotas for everything and was like ok we filled that, lets move to the next one we have a deadline here. Lack of inovation, lack of trying something different, complete lack of polishing the game,terrible graphical issues and cutting some gameplay elements that were present in the previous games (no fist fighting,no hiding bodies,..) were also a big problem.

In short I liked the city, I would say it is the best in AC games to date, probably because it's next gen (this gen), but you need a powerfull machine or it will be the worst in the series. But even with good GPU and CPU ( I have GTX 980 Poseidon) there are way to many graphical problems and I can't max out the game. I run it on 2560x1440 everything on max but no AA at all and I get aroung 45 fps.

They only complaint I have about the city is that large amount of the southeren part of the city is underused. You never visit it in the main story (if I'm correct Bievre and Panteon and anoter one I can't remember) and the crowd is very similar. There are not enough different NPC walking the street and I found many times 3 or 4 exactly the same NPC walking the street right next to each other.
