While sneaking around in AC Origins is mostly simple crouching in the bushes and hiding behind the trees or buildings, the stealthy killing and distraction part is really varied and fun. For instance, you can get the Predator Bow that lets you remotely steer your arrows after firing them, even get them to turn around a corner. The natural day/night cycle encourages you to use the darkness to hide your approach and take on the guards when there are likely less of them awake. You can also use sleep and poison darts, or open the enclosures of the animals so that they create distractions and even attack your enemies. You can even take control of your pet eagle and scout an area beforehand, allowing you to mark enemies. When control returns to your character, you'll be able to see the marks even through walls.

Pro A vibrant and enticing world
AC Origins story unfolds in a pretty rare setting of Ancient Egypt under the rule of Cleopatra and Julius Caesar. The world feels alive and atmospheric with its diverse scenery and it just begs to be explored. You can run through bustling monumental cities, traverse the vast sandy deserts on the back of a camel or a horse, get some rest in a lush green palm tree-lined oasis, float down the Nile in a little dinghy - all this moving around rewards you with breathtaking and sometimes unexpected views, be it a golden pyramid or a rampaging horde of hippos. The map is massive, but it doesn't feel overwhelming because the movement is fast-paced, so much so that you can easily choose to avoid fast-travel. The setting, especially in the cities with their marble palaces, hieroglyph-covered obelisks, and sandstone monuments, lends itself well to the usual for Assassin's Creed climbing and free running.
Pro Challenging combat mechanics
The combat mechanics in this game require much more thinking-through than in the previous AC games. There's almost no chance to easily defeat multiple enemies at once, you need to block, parry, and know when to change your weapon. You have the ability to either deal a huge one-hit blow or supercharge your weapon by maxing out an adrenaline bar.
Pro Interesting stories make questing fun
Like in most RPGs, the quests in AC Origins can feel a little grindy, but this time you might not even notice it until you're deep into the game. Each quest is layered and wrapped in a different story, which adds to the overall lore of the game and hides the fact that it's still your basic "go kill the bad guy" or "get me this amount of that thing". A quite straightforward-looking quest might turn out to be anything but.
Pro Receive live feedback
Unlike learning songs from YouTube or tabs. Rocksmith will give you feedback there and then when you play the song and will adjust the difficulty accordingly.
Pro CLDC for a vast vast selection of songs
While lacking your favorite song can be a con, if you dig around you will probably find a Custom DLC for so many songs and it's easy to add them to the game without too much hassle.
Pro Guitarcade
Kill zombies by playing chords, practice scales in a beat'em up this and more can be done in Rocksmith's Guirarcade. Once tedious tasks became something exciting (especially scales) once you pick up this piece of software.
Pro Turns learning into a game, making it fun
With Rocksmith 2014 you can learn how to play a real guitar through a Guitar Hero-type game.
Cons
Con Unreliable features may get in the way of combat
The fast-paced battles can be even harder due to some features not working reliably. For example, you can lock on a specific target in a group, and that works well for sneaky bow attacks, but in close combat there's an issue with switching between the targets.
Con Official DLC can be pricey
If you are a fan of a vast variety of music you can end up with huge cart that can easily get into hundreds of pounds. The price per song is definitely more that your usual iTunes or Google Play price.
Not that many good bundles either.
