I am excited for AC6, but at the same time I can’t help but see this and think that the game was “mainstream-ified.” The hard lock-on ripped directly from From’s Souls games makes me think that the game will feel very different from all the other AC games. Whether its better or worse remains to be seen.

On the positive side, the original AC games had some very unfortunate controls that make them pretty inaccessible to 99% of people interested in playing them up until like, AC4. So at least this game won’t likely have that issue.
