    I already reviewed the original game but there are some differences between the base game and its 'game of the Year' edition. And it's not allI already reviewed the original game but there are some differences between the base game and its 'game of the Year' edition. And it's not all about the few skins you can apply to the character.

    It's just too bad the DLC's aren't included to the story. That's a shame you have to launch it separately rather than being able to play it directly when you play the main game. It's harder to unlock the many varied Steam achievements because you have to relaunch the DLC once you finished it.

    Despite all this the content is still here with many highs and lows however. Additional content is not always relevant nor engaging. Gameplay still presents major issues. Mechanics still are scandalously Assassin's Creed-like. Opponents are repetitive and controls aren't always clever.
