Set in ancient Greece and, like AC: Origins before it, Ubisoft is moving further and further away from what made these games so unique and enjoyable to begin with: instead of the sneak 'em up of the original, we're now thrown into a world (and game) that strongly favours hack and slash gameplay, with numerous fetch side missions required to enable you to reach the next gated story point.
It' s not all bad, however: Kassandra (the inly logical choice!) is an appealing protagonist, and the Legacy if the First Blade DLC does at least make some attempt to tie it into the AC mythos.
