Yasuke is actually a fantastic choice as far as history/narrative goes.
A shame the game looks like more generic Assassin’s Creed Mapfucking+Crowd Supermurder.
Which is fine if that’s your thing, but I haven’t been thrilled by an AC game since… well, AC1.
I’ve found it best to stay 3-4 Assassin’s Creed’s behind, pick them up for $5 on a Steam Sale. I explore the world, do the story and just completely ignore the low-effort side quest spam. Then they tend to be a pretty okay experience still.
I’ve done exactly as you said. I’m doing them one in every two years and I’m having fun. I don’t think I’ve ever paid more than 5 euros for one game. They are the kind of low effort easy fun but that’s exactly what I want. I have my hard games and series for when I want that type of experience
i had a gaming pc with three monitors set up to play across all of them and assassin’s creed was wild
