You'll probably never pay anything but full price for a game on Uplay.

That's not true, they do sales and older games get cheaper.

Still more expensive than steam but whatever, games are a cheap hobby anyway.

I am enjoying the singleplayer but I'm already like haflway through it. I'm not hating the coop but it's hard to imagine sinking as much time in it as in Revelations/III/Black Flag multiplayer. In fact the last two games' wolfpack was arguably better coop than that.

You can solo it even the first time. And of course you can replay at will (in fact you need to play it at least three times to unlock all the reward$).

Yeah, if you hover over the co-op mission icons on the map and do it from there, you can choose public or private the first time you do it. If you take the mission from the random assassin dudes hanging around, you don't get the option the first time.

You can do it from the Progress Tracker too. I find it more convenient.

Also the open combat in unity sucks and just highlights how terrible the gameplay is as soon as guns come into it. Trigger an alert and get swarmed by guards? Might as well just give up because they'll not only stunlock you to death but blast you with a hail of gunfire from off the sides of the screen where you can't even see them.

Just drop a smoke bomb and run. I actually like whittling at a mass of soldiers and disappearing when cornered, like a horror movie monster.

Not much of the plot happens down there.

Generally speaking those are harder zones so you are supposed to clear the right bank first. Of course Assassin's Creed hard is not really hard.

Whatever else happens I hope they do the Rift missions again in the future, they are awesome.

Sequence 7 was the weirdest. It was a good final mission that somehow ended as the middle of the game.

The game story as a whole is baffling from a craft point of view. The one plot resolution comes in the middle of the game and then it has to build momentum all over again, lots of arcs are set up and never really resolved, others spring out of nowhere... the coop plot does not fit the singleplayer one and in fact kind of contradicts it...

Design by comity I suppose.

Shay doesn't ever really have any dialogue or heavy misgivings about using the precursor tech and is like super keen to grab the tech immediately before it levels Lisbon.

In fact Achilles explicitly warns him to be cautious. Sounds to me like Shay is deflecting his own guilt on Achilles like a teenager.

Speaking of, it's weird that it's the first game (except 1) where the protagonist does not have a database entry. I wanted to check his actual age and had to go to the wikia.

Rogue Naval maps are really cramped compared to Black Flag, battles often feel like a knife fight in a phone booth which adds tension I guess but I miss sailing on the wide open sea.
