Pros. No modern day story. Graphics look great. Combat is no longer just easy mode parry everything. Movement feels smooth. New toys over the original. Naval combat smooth. Rope dart a really fun tool. Story is fun and interesting. Cons In game store for cosmetics in a single player game. Ship upgrades are locked until you hit. certain points in story which I get why they did it or you'd be op fast but still it's a con. Overall I'm loving it
