This games is cute! But, be warned, it is in essence, hoard mode. But, it's so cute and in small doses very playable.

Another plus to this game is it's somewhat kid friendly and has a minor co-op mode.

This is the flagship (pun intended) AAA game for the start of two new games a month for Xbox One members. Many consider this game one of the better Assassin's Creeds since Assassin's Creed 2. Personally, I enjoyed the game. I enjoyed it so much, I bought the Xbox One that came with it and Assassin's Creed Unity. So, I already own it.

For those of you who don't have it. Go. Download it. Now. Play it. It is a nice game to play. Especially when you go diving. Well, maybe fighting off sharks with limited air is not the most fun a person can have. Regardless, this is an excellent game.

But, do not waste your valuable time in the chintzy co-op. It is far too easy and feels cheap to play.

I just wish since I got it on my Xbox One I had been in the mood to play it. I just haven't been feeling Assassin's Creedy. Anyone else get like that?
