Score: 4
"This was a major disappointment."

SK2 is still my favorite Flash game of all time, so I had really high hopes for this. I don't think that going with Lucy's storyline was a good idea if you were going to go a completely different way. The animation was a solid attempt to make it look realistic (this is based on Assassin's Creed, I can tell), but it just didn't work, especially when you see the cartoonish style of the previous two games, which were incredibly more enjoyable than this.
The bow wasn't a bad choice for a weapon, but it was poorly executed. You find yourself getting killed too easily while you figure out how to operate the thing. The fact that you die after hitting spikes ONCE makes the already shoddy controls all the more annoying, flying in to spikes when you didn't mean to and losing all of your progress for that one area.
The music was a good choice and fit in well with the game, but that's as much as I can say in regards to audio. Whenever Lucy picked up a coin, the ridiculously childish sound just detracts from any seriousness this game tries to employ.
I am still looking forward to another SK or even another SA, but I hope that if you do end up making the latter, you make it as enjoyable as SK2 was. You're my favorite game maker on Newgrounds (for more than SK and SK2, trust me), and I know that you can do it.
