They tried to go 'noir artistic' for some animations but comes off as tacky, barely looks like it's got ASSASSINATIONS in it than a hack and slash.
Sigh, I missed it when Assassin's Creed was more about how to get in, get the one guy and get out so you were focused more on stalking targets, infiltration and exfiltration than essentially being a crazed nut job with a sword.
Honestly, even the original game was a pretty shit stealth game. The parkour was never accurate enough, the blending in system was garbage, and the stealth had little depth to it (compared to contemporary games like Splinter Cell with light and sound levels).
And because of how strong the counter move was, you could in fact play most of it as "crazed nut job with a hidden blade equipped."
Think the second one did it better as you had better distraction tools from using courtesans or mercenaries to distract guards, using poison to cause a guard to go crazy, smoke bombs and the simple ability to swim.
It showed better in the multiplayer, the best players in that game could fake being an NPC, either to close in on targets or letting pursuers get the wrong person or get stunned.
Everyone AC multi-player is mentioned I have to comment as it's the best multi-player game that has ever existed and I miss it more than most of my dead relatives.
