Gotta admit, I'm actually intrigued about this game. Reviews seem mediocre. I'm definitely not gonna pre-order, but I will wait for Steam reviews/sale before I think of getting it. Story is apparently meh, but I don't play AC games for the story, same as the Middle-earth games.

Anyone here getting this tomorrow?

It has like a 84 on metacritic. I'm kind of interested. But I always am and then never get far.

I'll be getting it. IGN is usually pretty good at reviewing games.

I would've been getting it regardless of the 9 they gave it because AC is a great franchise, but that score reassured me.

I like the idea of mini bosses. Hopefully it has some Egyptian mythical stuff and not just fight people. Maybe a chupacabra. (Spelling?)

Saw something about a mummy expansion pack and something about a horde mode or something down the line.

Also, for free next year is an explore mode that is a historical tour of Egypt!

Mediocre? Reviews are actually pretty good. Besides a couple. Like GameStop, who gave it a 7. Lowest score so far. Users on reddit are saying it’s really fun. One guy even said it’s GOTY for him. Everybody has an opinion but that’s still nice to hear.

I know the GB needs some new blood, but you are not the poster we are looking for.

For the Trial of Gods, can I do that whenever I want or only at certain times?

I just started, but I enjoy the game so far! Playing on PC. Encountered one bug on a sidequest, but man is the open world just gorgeous, just like GR Wildlands was. The draw distances, the water, the plant life; really great. Ubi did a good thing taking a year off between installments to regroup. 8.5/10 for me so far.
