Ubisoft once again shows that they are masters at creating detailed open worlds and atmospheres. The sophisticated lighting, day and night cycle, climate change, along with the enormous amount of details of Manhattan, offer visuals for truly amazing moments. Locked at 30fps both on PS4 and Xbox One.
Nevertheless, there are minor issues here and there that may distract you from the experience. Destruction of the environment such as walls that fall apart in stunning detail is great, yet there are indestructible pieces, as simple as a light bulb. Some late textures loading times is annoying, often taking a few seconds to fully load. There are also some draw distance issues, as objects suddenly popping in the foreground.
Sound effects are good, and varied, but the music could be a bit better like this. It is not a bad selection of tunes but nobody will highlight the soundtrack, either for good or for bad.
