That said, it’s still an open-world Ubisoft game, which means, well, not quite what it used to. You can choose before you start playing whether to keep the constant nag of map icons trying to drag you off to find a stash of silver coins or a strange character to do a job for, or whether to explore the lands yourself, stumbling upon side quests in a more natural way. Even if you choose the former, the icons often fade away as you get really close to your target, forcing you to explore to find what you’re looking for. Origins’ and Odyssey’s character levelling is gone, meaning NPCs don’t wander around with a number floating over their heads. Your Power level is what defines you now, determined as much by your weapons and armor as the skill points you’ve spent. Enemies whose Power is far above yours are marked with a red skull, so you know not to start a fight you can’t win.
There’s still a way to proceed other than running away and grinding until you’re more powerful, and it often takes the form of sneaking around and scoring headshots with a bow. You can still stealth-attack from the bushes, and an unlockable skill turns assassinations of characters you wouldn’t usually be able to kill into a QTE.
