Overall an excellent game, however some veteran players might be put off by the somewhat more streamlined AC building/stats.
The game still very much feels like an AC game, but it's faster paced due to the lack of camera turn speed limitation and the way energy regenerates when you're on the ground.
Boss fights are more like in a "traditional" video game and are very spectacular and varied.
The areas are very nice looking and mostly rather spacious, unlike in previous games which had much more indoor areas.
I haven't played that many AC games, but this game has the hardest boss fights of the ones I've played, by far!

The performance is surprisingly good, definitely a huge step up from every previous Fromsoftware game, even though it's still not perfect.

Overall an excellent game, but some AC fans might not be a 100% satisfied with some of the game design changes.
