Reception and criticism
It received mostly positive reviews (around 75% according to Metacritic/OpenCritic).
Praise for the atmosphere, story, and faction system, with praise for Nyx's character.
Technical problems, "too formal" stealth, and a lack of innovation in the action are criticized.
Steam's weak start and insufficient sales led to a slight delay in Assassin's Creed Shadows, to be improved Outlaws.
