When this game came out, took it as my cue to buy Civ 6 + the DLCs.

Odyssey was my last AC game and I feel the same. Watching reviews and all, this seems more like typical Ubisoft slop, nothing new. It’s sad, I don’t think we’ll ever get the magic back from the AC2 days.

I would say definitely worth a try. I loved the story and the lore and the world building more than anything; and sadly there are elements of it that are becoming more and more relevant and possible nowadays.

They came out with this feature recently that makes any sort of tracking technically impossible:

still works, this is what I use. I do like that the app is still being updated too, I used boost and sync previously but they got more annoying to use for me over time with errors slowly popping up

I don’t know how to code, but I did a lot of internet searching on the commands to use (since I was also new to Linux). When I started to self host I was lucky the projects I wanted were popular enough that they had good documentation. Eventually after spinning up a lot of services I got the hang of the general structure of docker compose files and that’s the extent of any kind of new language I learned, haha
