Timing would become important - maybe even aiming. If the parry window were smaller this could easily be remedied. It's still fun, mind you, because those critical combo moves look really cool, but there's so little skill involved for an action title that I can't help but feel disappointed.įor all its appearance of action combat, it really boils down to just parrying all the time and making sure to use your attack button right afterwards.
The system of parrying and responding with critical combo moves is extremely simple and while it's all impressively fluid I wish there were more depth. Occasionally an enemy will simply stand there, all by himself, not doing anything at all until you kill him. Sometimes they'll all go for you at once, and sometimes they'll just stand around while you slaughter them one by one. The fights tend to be quite visceral but the AI is often simply terrible. The reason for this paradox? That's a bit complicated.
In short, the combat is both fun and unsatisfying. Combat is certainly a step up from previous Assassin's Creed games, though it has a long ways to go before I'd call it "great."
