Ubisoft gave us a remake with better graphics and all these new features that make exploration and stealth more tolerable while completely neutering the very thing that made us tolerate the bad exploration and stealth mechanics. I'm talking about the combat.

No hidden blade combat??! No fists!?! No disarms!!? Are you f**king serious Ubisoft!!!

Not only that. But I keep seeing the same repetitive animations again and AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN!!!
Its bad to the point where I don't even think mods will save this game. The original had more finishers and animations than I could count and that was 13 F***ing years ago. How do you F*** this up??? This was arguably your best AC game in history and you give us this "modernized" slop with everything but the core appeal of the game. All for the disrespectful price of $60 with the option to buy more slop DLC.

Stop trying to be Dark Souls! Stop with the basic b*tch combat system. That's not what Assassins Creed was to begin with. If I want to get f***ed by Miyazaki I'll go play DS3 or Elden Ring because that's their niche and that's what they do best. You guys just steal everyone's Ideas while abandoning what made your games good in the first place. And I am so tired of it!!! Its been years now, and you still haven't learned. I really hoped you guys would turn things around with this remake. I really hoped it would be a "back to the basics" (come to Jesus) moment for you. But once again I am left utterly disappointed.....

If you enjoyed the combat of the original, I would avoid this one, or wait for a deep sale. Don't reward Ubisoft with 60 dollars of your money for a half @$$ed remake. Don't trust the reviews either, half of them are bots.
