While this wasn't an issue for me, as I like to pepper side activities in between
main missions anyway, others objected.
Not exact matches
In my opinion, the combat system looks boring and repetitive, the characters have little unique fighting styles, and you mostly play
missions with the two
main characters
anyway.
Anyway the
main story also has a lot of stuff to do, although there's a lot of really stupid instant - fail stealth
missions where you have to reload over and over again, and it seems like Ubisoft kind of ran out of ideas near to the end.
Anyway, this repetitiveness flows out from the
main game into the many sidequests the game forces you into in order to earn enough money to enter the next assassination
mission.
