Before anything else, congrats on the new gig, Sylphid! I know it's a bit away, but best of luck in Taiwan.

As for the actual game...I'm kind of 'meh' on it. It has some really good moments, the music and aesthetics are great, and Desmond is both minimalized and less of a bother even if you choose to listen to him for a while. But at the same time the plot just sort of meanders around for a while, the mechanicical design isn't as tight as 2's or Brotherhoods, and while it's really clear they wanted to send Ezio off with a bang, I'll avoid talking spoilers but the endgame comes with so little buildup that it caught me almost completely off-guard, just sort of happens, and then the game and the tale of two assassins is over.

Still, like most recent games in the Assassin's Creed series, there's enough artistry, effort, and solid core mechanics left in it for me to be glad that it exists, even with the lovely yearly sequel model.
