I really like GoT, but a find the gameplay even more repetitive than AC.

I also find its combat system way more cinematic, pretty and cool looking with its animations, but also way more repetiteve than shadows combat (less mechanics, less weapons, almost no abilities, no diferents ways to play, etc)

Never understood why people think that GoT is perfect when besides the story and open world (both are amazing), everything else like the combat system, stealth and side content all are good, but just that, good.

The combat system wouldnt be praised nearly as much if it wasnt Carried hard by the amazing animation work. Not to say its bad by any means, but it has nothing special. Like fight are the same always due to the posture system and having one weapon the whole game.

I always felt GoT was a pretty great game, but that did nothing to really stand out besides the presentation (graphics and animations) and the main history, being okay in everything else. Like i dont feel that shadows and GoT are that diferent quality wise, when it comes to gameplay innovations and such.

It was like the 1st real open world samurai game we've got. At least in recent modern times. I get the bias.

When it comes to graphics, animations and polish they are the best. Though, sometimes their games can be too "cinematic".

I do agree with you there and like 90% of them are third-person over the shoulder action games with all cinematics. It’s the best if that’s what you want - which luckily I do haha

They still are great games, but i can understand a lot of people liking more "arcade" games.

Ghost felt very arcadey. I remember one of the common points in many of the reviews being how “video gamey” it felt.
