I'm willing to bet most people haven't finished the first one like you, because that game is fucking boring as hell. I know that's why I never finished it lol. Historical accuracy =/= fun.

I honestly find their "historical accuracy" claims kinda comical. Yeah it's better than most games for sure, but it still only pays lip service to accuracy in a lot of aspects for the sake of the game's story. Henry has a completely fantastical rise from blacksmith's apprentice to de facto military commander.

No, I did really enjoy it. I just don't spend an enormous amount of time gaming, and the time I do spend is most often in completely different genres that I can play with friends while chatting on Discord, like RTS (Age of Empires mostly) and survival crafters (like Raft and DST).

I found it pretty enjoyable, but never finished because the plot begins to drag towards the midpoint of the game. I actually really enjoyed the combat and the layered systems, but once you get to a point where you can just hardcore train your character for a few weeks, the game quickly loses all challenge.
