Game seems pretty fluid and fun so far with lots to do and lots to find. I rather enjoy just running around on rooftops and scaling walls to see how far he'll jump and what he'll grab onto. Not so thrilled with the combat, but it's manageable. Overall, really enjoying it.
The combat has grown on me, I don't really have any problems with it. Some of the counter strike animations are really wild, never get tired of seeing them.
I find the timing for that (maybe the 'combo strike'?) where you press attack as your sword hits theirs to be really unresponsive. It seemed to work well while you were doing combo training, but on real guys it almost never works for me. I dunno, minor gripe.
I love the combat, it's really fluid, also a lot of times where the combat comes as unresponsive I always just figured the guard was defending. Yeah some of the counter-kill animations are while, plus with good timing and some luck you can have a badass string of kills. Mech has made a habit of killing someone, throwing a knife at whomever is behind them and killing them, and often times following up with another counter-kill.
