AC8 first parts spoilers

Can't expand on it too much now (only had two hours with it), but this game is just amazing. That opening scene just sets the stage like how any good entry in the franchise should. The graphics! Not only is there ultrawide monitor support, but the details are massively improved in every aspect. HDR too is mindblowing.

Look at this image - this is in engine, not pre rendered at all!

Can't wait to see how the game progresses.

I'm watching the credits as I type this.

Look, it's absolutely incredible but so utterly intense. I really am going to need some tine to reflect and properly gather my thoughts. Defs a contender for series high point though.

I do love the fact that Rex is the first AC protagonist to be laid out by a sheep though.
