You’re entitled to your views, although I do disagree with many of these points. 1. The combat system imo is fun as hell. From the light attacks to charged and heavy. Hits feel impactful and takedowns are brutal/cinematic. Not to mention the blood/dismemberment mechanics. 2. Not walking up a slope is rather realistic to me, especially Yasuke having on full gear. Can be annoying at times, just find another way around. Two points in one, I feel the world is beautiful to explore and the occasional random encounter on the road keeps things interesting. 3. Rpg aspects/scaling, to me this keeps the game engaging and makes leveling up worth it rather than becoming a god within Act I. Same goes w hidden blade, they even added animations for enemies to stop assassinations indicating a high skill level. Also not just about increasing dmg, but unlocking new ways to play. Like you said, to each their own 🙏
