About
If you enjoy action-adventure that mixes archaeology, comedy, and sweeping historical romance, this is an entertaining, messy ride with standout set pieces; Not for you if you dislike time-jumping plots or uneven tone like in Vanguard.
Pros: inventive fight set pieces; epic historical scope; fun adventure tone | Cons: muddled, uneven story; cheesy effects at times; romance feels rushed
