@RadioHedgeFund Or instead of having RPG style more difficult areas where the enemies become damage sponges, they go back to how old ACs did it where the more difficult enemies where just better at fighting (dodged and counter more and were quicker).
Origins is great and I played it heaps, but this review misses the mark several times. Firstly the combat system of the older ACs is better. Doesn't matter what you prefer, it was better. It was a more complicated (gave more choice), weighted and more realistic combat style allowing you to dodge, counter, grab, throw in any direction, disarm, be disarmed, hire guards and so on. Now it's just dodge.
Also yes the parkour is less glitchy in newer ACs but that's because there's less stuff to climb. Now you can only climb rocks and buildings that are only a few stories high.
Also the new difficulty/levelled areas are just a lazy way of stretching the game out. In older ACs the more difficult enemies where actually better at fighting (dodged and counter more) rather than being just damage sponges.
