Pros
Pro Great controller support
Everything is accessible with a controller.
Cons
Con It has TERRIBLE HOTAS support
The HOTAS support for this game was added as an afterthought because it was review-bombed for lacking support for common sticks. The controls are not listed in the UI, nor available anywhere, so you will never know what's going to happen when you push a button, nor how to do something like change targets. Also all of these controls cannot be remapped anywhere, so if you don't like how the controls work, too bad.
Con No Co-Op
Unlike previous AC-games the campaign can't be played in Co-Op.
Con 20 campaign missions
Thats only ~7 hours of gameplay and after that you have seen all maps/levels since there are no side missions.
