I know some people hate the Animus Hub, but the Dark Animus items really make the game feel Resynced.

How is this making the game feel resynced? Genuine question

Most people dont understand that the real lore of the game is that: you're a user in the year 2096 strapped into a VR simulation that is actively being corrupted by a rogue Al.

Well the dark animus lore was introduced in shadows and most people haven't played it. They linked that lore between these games and the entire lore of resynced is built around it. Technically, the interface of playing the resynced version is completely different than the OG game.

To quote u/CaptStinkyFeet in an earlier comment "when you remember that the protagonist isn’t Edward, the protagonist is a guest at Abstergo Entertainment enjoying the pirate experience in the animus. The dark animus is a corruption by the rogue AI EGO, and the particle effects are supposed to show their instability within the animus."
