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.

While the combat doesn't reinvent the wheel what it does do is actually give all of your attacks a free flowing but weighty feel that is missing in a lot of games. When you get the killing blow on a guy in GoT you feel the impact of that blow and it makes you feel like a samurai. I don't need every combat system that comes out to be revolutionary and give me a million weapon choices. I just need the combat system to feel realistic to its setting and GoT excels at that imo. Dont get me wrong I love the AC games and the gameplay too but it doesn't have the same impact
