After 8+ hours, im onto my 4th assassination and i still feel this is one of the best games i have ever sat down to play. Just moving around the rooftops via the freerunning is probably the most fun iv had in a video game.
I think the combat is the best sword to sword combat iv ever come across(that short blade is AMAZING to wield), and as for the dumb, attack one at a time, AI, i dont really see it. I think they are actually pretty smart. They wait for YOU to start the attack and then they try to find an opening. It then becomes who can exploit the smallest opening first, i just love it. There is repetition in the investigations but it has not hindered the game AT ALL, everything else about the game is so perfect and so much fun that i dont notice it. This game is everything and more that i thought it would be.
