It's on sale for $25 on the Xbone.

Is it worth it?

What's it comparable too?

Comparable to Assassin's Creed. It's worth the $25.

Worth it. I was playing it a good amount until Dragon Age came out.

All of them in terms of gameplay. Everything you wish was better about ac gameplay, they did.

The story and "bosses" were ridiculously easy and short.

They set it up for a sequel.

Overall it's a fun hack and slash game, but don't expect much in the way of story. I was left at the end saying "is that it?"

The back end of the story was rather weak for sure.

The comparisons to AC and Batman are spot-on. Very fun game, although a bit repetitive. But that's to be expected for its genre.

I've heard there are some PS3 issues - should I wait on this one until I ultimately get the PS4?

I think I'm the only person that didn't care for this game.

Good game, enjoying it.


Related, any help on how to beat the war chiefs? I took down the first one relatively easily (Mogg), but the next two have been tough.

One has a shield, but you cannot jump over him and he is immune to stealth. I think if I can get him alone I can take him out, but he comes with a contingent that includes a captain.
