Yes! Reviewers weren't kidding when they said this is Skyrim with guns. Except this actually has awesome combat. Everything is also streamlined perfectly. Something that you can't say about ACIII. Crafting and making medicine is easy to learn and it's actually fun to hunt down animals to, for example, make a bigger wallet. Objective markers pop up regularly when you take down outposts and just wandering the island. You never become too overwhelmed though, and the side missions aren't that long. Which is just a positive thing for me.
Again, how Ubisoft managed to pull this of is just ridiculous.
I still want to know where to find a goat though! ANYONE!?
Edit: Found them
