What players say

After the first 5-10 hours, I thought I was going to hate this game, but it gets much better afterwards and I ended up having quite a lot of fun with it. My biggest problem is the parkour. It feels much slower and heavier than in Unity, and London's wide streets make it difficult to smoothly move from rooftop to rooftop. The Rope Launcher makes this even worse, as you can simply skip entire buildings with one...

Denji KunRecommendedafter 12hOct 2026Read on Steam
Was a great game! Good graphics, 2 fighting styles in 1, easy to scale with the zip line. 15 hours into the game it crashes my pc every hour or less. Nothing fixes it and its a ubisoft issue other players have had. Very frustrating that a capable franchise does not fix such a crucial component that prevents playing the game I bought.
