The verdict
A fun, cinematic linear cover shooter with satisfying sync shots and gadgets, but the PC port is rough, the Ubisoft Connect login is a hassle, and online co-op and DLC are gone. Skip it if you want multiplayer.
Great for
Solo players who like linear, cinematic stealth-and-cover shooters and sync-shot squad tactics, ideally on sale
Main risk
Ubisoft Connect login, crashes or freezes on modern PCs, and dead online co-op, multiplayer and DLC
