I finally got around to playing this game just the other night. So far I'm enjoying it quite a bit. I've always been fascinated with this period of history so seeing it come to life in such a way is a real treat for me. I'm also enjoying Haytham Kenway as a character. He's such a classy mofo. It's easy for me to visualize him as a real person in that time period with how well he's characterized. I'm currently at the part where you meet up with Kaniehti:io and help her go after General Braddock.

I admit I haven't done much exploration yet. I've mainly just been following the main story, as is the case with most of the open-world games I play. I'm used to a somewhat linear gaming experience because of all the games I had to play growing up so I tend to stick with that out of force of habit for the first playthrough. I get lost easily, too. Maps? Compass? What are those?

Discuss.
