Ignore the bad comments saying that the combat is bad, it is quite challenging, yes they could have added a few more things to do in combat but its still good. After practicing a bit, I am capable of taking down the Elite bounty hunter along with ten other guys.
Combat in previous AC games were cool but way too easy, all you had to do is parry and then press the attack button and you've already destroyed 2 or 3 enemies. But If you like challenges in combat, than this is the game for you. By the way this is a Stealth game and at times it makes you feel as if you are the assassin.
I am happy that Ubisoft has gone back to being ACTUAL assassins not Vikings. I also wish that Mirage had more content and added a extra city (probably as the size of Anbar), but other than that I would rate this game 9.2/10
