I picked it up late 2025, PS5 era, when it was on sale.
It's a refreshing change from the more-modern RPG era (which, to my mind, are no longer really Assassins Creed games except in name only), only Arno - the main character - does not hold as much appeal as Ezio d'Auditore (from the AC 2 era), and with the main map of France suffering from so much bloat that - at times - it is almost impossible to know where to go next!
Anyway, the formula was further refined in the next game AC: Syndicate (London set) which, I feel, is the superior game.

Laila is a mother of two, and desperate to move to a better area of London. She wants her husband to get the promotion, her children to be accepted into the expensive private school, and for the dead body in the living room to be somewhere else - and who on earth is he?!
Laila is clever, manipulative, very cold and dangerous. However, everything she does has a domino effect, which results in her having to clear up one inconvenience after another.
This is a twisty, fast paced novel, and the narrator, Perdita Weeks, was perfect in bringing Laila to life. It made the prospect of having a sociopath as a friend an attractive proposition (for the laughs, of course!).
