I'm just starting Sequence 10, with 22 hours on my save file (with a 46% completion, which I assume means completion toward getting every item and optional objective, not 46% story completed).
My Animus Database is at 74% completion.
I love the homestead and building up my village with more citizens.
The entire economy of the game is really nice! Everything has an impact on how you will make money. I've reduced 'risk' and 'taxes' to make my land convoys more profitable, discovered more recipes and artisans to make it more profitable to make and sell new times to the people, all so I can buy better weapons and ship upgrades, making life a lot easier!
And the way hunting is integrated is well done. Some of my favorite moments are when I can just gallop past an animal on my horse, leap off, and take them down with my hidden blades!
Going through my Log Book, there's a TON of stuff to do in this game if I so desire: Boston Brawlers, The Hunting Society, the Frontiersmen, Forts, Naval missions, collecting feathers, almanac pages, finding chests and trinkets, fulfilling assassination contracts, delivery requests, courier missions... it goes on and on
Ah yes, Forts are a challenge. I've taken over three of them, it's so satisfying to pull off!
The story continues to remain very interesting, with Connor teaming up with
his father after years of hatred and a desire to kill him (along with the other Templars). It seems what Haytham is saying about George Washington has some truth to it, but we shall see.Did I mention how much I love the GamePad for this game? Being able to tap a weapon on the touch screen to switch quicker is quite handy, as is the horse call icon.
There's been some strange stuff with the game at times... like, I see a liberation mission on my map, but when I go there, it's no longer there? Weird.
(just wanted to post some random thoughts on the game so far!)
