So are there line battles?

There are battles, but don't expect a phalanx. It is LOOSELY based on history, as the series always has been. Places, names, people, legends, dress, etc.

  I'll try some assassin's creed (starting with Black flag).  This was useful to me:

This is a superb game. Plenty to do and quite varied too. Not like Ghost Recon or Far Cry 5 open world games where they are pretty repetitive. This one has alot of variation.

The abilities upgrades are great. The engravings for weapons (to better stats, for example +4 Warrior Damage) are very good too. Lots of loot to be picked up.

I'm 8 hours in and I've just got off the starting island of Kefalonia.

Very much enjoying this.

No one expects the Greek Phalanx!

So anyone who puts any weight on Angry Joe's reviews...here it is



I was initially blown away with the game. I really liked the combat. I loved the look. It looked massive. However, I'm starting to feel that grind that I've seen in Ubisofts games of the past - and that's mentioned in the review.

Not a bad game - but it's shortfalls start to come to the fore. I'm 18 hours in and I'm still going, but I'm on the verge of chucking the side missions.

There are some great things in the game...but there's some lazy shit in there too.

I know.  How many times can somebody scream this is Sparta?  Before it gets a little old.  And this is Athens is just confusing.  And this is the Argolid is okay, but odd.

i read some background in the game about a Japanese brotherhood of assassins. I hope this is foreshadowing of an upcoming title set in feudal Japan. Would be awesome.

  The historical ninjas were really much more like assassin's creed assassins than the historical assassins would have been.  Confusing, but there you have it.  And why are the Templar's saddled with being the bad guys?  Is it all thanks to IvanHoe?

Did anybody accept the Kalydonian Boar mission in Phokis and survive ?

I wasted an evening on it before deciding to step away from it (rage quit describes it better).

Yes. It's easily the hardest mission I've played in 26 hours of game time. I had to level up past the level of boar in order to succeed. I've fought several alpha animals since and none have been as difficult as the boar.
