The animation in Wilds is actually crazy

So I picked up AC Shadows because I haven't played an AC game in a very long time and felt like jumping back in to the assassin/templar thing. And I was shocked to see something.

Not the visuals, this is a very pretty game and it runs well on my PC. The combat is taking some getting used to after Wilds, for sure, but it's not bad. It's the animations. Specifically, anything outside of a cutscene. It's... very stiff and robotic. So I fired up Witcher 3, and while each individual animation is great it's the inbetweener animations that felt really janky. Rise of the Tomb Raider same thing.

The animations in this game are actually insane. From the big grandiose moves to how your hunter scrambles off of the ground depending on which way you point the analog stick after a knockdown.

I think I may be spoiled.
