Are all the assassination missions as hard as Oda Nobunaga?

[Blade]

It feels like I'm playing Sekiro or Metal Gear Solid 5 and even prone I can't crawl around the outside of the area without being lit up by 4 or 5 guards. I always wanted guards to be more observant and stealth to be more realistic but this is too much. I've been on this mission for hours trying to slink around and find openings but there are 50+ guards around and their line of sight is always over-lapping so there aren't any openings to slink in and kill anyone without someone on the other side of the compound detecting me. Not to mention you're caged in by invisible walls limiting your movement to force you into close proximity with the guards and that's artificial difficulty. I haven't died, I'm just too afraid to make a move because the AI is so omnipotent and I've just been looking around for openings or paths that might get me through.

They will hear me assassinate someone behind them 100 feet away and spot me lying prone in a bush in pitch black from 100 feet away. It doesn't seem like bushes and tall grass block their field of view so that might actually be a bug, but slinking around on the ground prone doesn't feel very shinobi-like to me and it's a deal breaker when it comes to immersion.

To be honest, this game just might not be for me and that's okay, but AC was always an accessible series than anyone could pick up and play, it's not anymore and you can tell they were really trying to up the ante but over-compensated for all the complaints about stealth being too easy in previous titles. Even on the easiest settings it's easily one of, if not the most difficult stealth game to date and I just don't like to play games that stress me out that much.

Honestly I didnt have much problem with that. As soon as I got on the roof with that little cutscene I went up on the big roof, down & forward over some buildings and then stuck to the left edge all the way to the main building to the backdoor at that little pond.

At the building itself I threw a smoke & assasinated the two guarding the door and then big cutscene played. You could problaby just smoke and initiate the final cutscene with those.

Where did you get smoke bombs?

Edit: I just realized I haven't touched my skills at all or used a single skill point, maybe that's why I'm struggling so much.

Unlocked in the tools-tree, and had some when it started.

Yeah I found em thanks. But unfortunately that didn't work for me, I smoke bombed those two guards you were talking about, killed them, walked around the door for a bit and nothing happened. I had to reload a save because it's almost impossible to lose the guards once detected since you're caged in by the Animus barriers. You're only options are to run straight through the compound and get detected by everyone else but you're ultimately trapped.

Crawling is what you should be doing. It doesn't matter if they see you, they cant hit you if you are prone.
