It's fucking fantastic. The movement feels great, and combat makes you feel like a god sometimes with the shit you pull off. The game is a ton of fun.

Hell yeah. Never played AC before as well--picked this one up on launch day and have been having an absolute blast. It's FromSoft, so it kicks your teeth in a little bit, but once you get the hang of the combat system and make sense of the info on your screen it's a ton of fun. If you like the dark souls style of combat (heavy emphasis on dodge-and-punish, demands near-perfect execution), you'll like AC.

It's a compromise between the classic AC games that were a bit more mech-y and a Soulslike (note that even the classic games were very fast-paced, we're not talking about Mechwarrior here). Some people call it "Sekirobot" because it's moved away from a few of the mech-y aspects and is more about high-speed soulslike combat but with a rocket-pack, guns, and homing-missiles.

Personally I'm enjoying the hell out of it.

Story’s fantastic, game mechanics are great, movement feels nice. Avoid if you get motion sickness.
