I feel like this is the best game in the series so far. The controls are fluid, and kill combos (and graphics) are much better! Plus, the contrast between wilderness and civilized areas adds a bit of diversity to the game. The naval missions were greatly done, using cannons and guns to destroy other ships (with nice available ship upgrades).

I didn't really figure out the convoy system where you create items and send them out to different towns. It looks like its mainly to earn revenue, but I never needed it. There aren't any shops to purchase (blacksmith, doctor, tailor, etc) and no areas to buy and upgrade like past games, so not much money is needed. Pretty much all money I had was earned through playing missions and hunting/selling animal products. Also, I never sent any of my recruits on their missions, so none of them advanced to Assassin... This time around, unlike past games where your recruit can die, they just become injured and unavailable for a short period of time. I was disappointed with the lack of glyphs or a similar puzzle system. It was my favorite part of the first couple of games. The closest thing to a puzzle doesn't come until after you finish the game...

Ubisoft has hinted at the "next game" in the series, so hopefully they keep it going for a while!
