You play as an assassin in a huge open world environment. You get assassination missions assigned to you where you must go to a town, and perform investigations about your target, and when you have acquired enough knowledge you will be able to complete the assassination.
The levels are huge, and you can just, run, and climb on almost anything. You have to use stealth when running/climbing to avoid being seen by the guards. The game play is pretty fun, the investigation steps have you pick pocket, interrogate, save people under attack by guards, and ease drop on people.
The only bad parts about the game are: the combat is a little lame. You have a one button attack, and the guards block almost every time you attack them, you just have to keep hitting them till they don't block it. The other thing would be that after awhile the missions can get somewhat repetitive.
What's great about it: huge open world environment, great graphics,
What's not so great: some aspects of the game can get repetitive, combact not the best
