A great game that ultimately becomes a bit boring.
And now after i finished the game i still compare it with tomb raider.
The acrobatics, the climbing and the few moments of intense fighting, gave me such a deja vu feeling all throughout the game.
With one exception, this game started to get boring because it became quite amazingly repetitive after a while.
I know most will think, "so did Tomb Raider" but at least it had the attractive view of Lara in it, and watching her climb never bored me.
Now don't get me wrong, this game sure has great stuff in it like, the immense detailed city's with dense populations that react on everything you do, the intensity of fighting large numbers of enemy's, the searching for clues how to assassin your target, and the fact that you can climb up on almost everything is truly remarkable.
The main missions and cinematics are also great, but it is the small side missions that you have to undertake that get so repetitive.
Save a peasant, eavesdropping to get info, forcefully interrogate someone and pickpocketing to get info just isn't enough in a big game like this. Oh, and i forgot one thing, climbing all the towers to unlock nearby territory.
The storyline is very good and well brought, only the ending leaves you with many questions still. And it certainly is clear that there is a thin line between good and evil in this game.
Overall i find this game good but not great, and i wished they had more small side missions in it, but maybe we expect to much nowadays from games. At least i played it through the end and maybe i will play it again some day, but unlikely.
