I think the game feels more repetitive because because there's really no change of how the characters look. There's the poor soldiers and the soldiers with armor, the different looking bosses, and the assasins. The cities even look the same other than the one with the harbor and adding more people to the later cities. The thing that helped it be less repetitive for me was the free-running. That was really fun to jump from building to building and use throwing knives or throw soldiers off of the roofs. I just did as much different stuff that I could to make it feel less repetitive, but for people that wanted to beat the game quick and not do the side missions, you can finish each of the missions and bosses the same ways very easily and I think that's what makes it more repetitive.

minor spoiler (actually minor is probably an overstatement) but just in case.

Unfortunately I agree with this review. I kept hoping the with ever passing assassination they would have me kill the next one in a different way. I even tried to do it more stealthy only to get frustrated that there really was only one way to kill everybody… it would have been way cooler if they made it a little more like Hitman that you could kill one of the guards and then kill your victim with a bow from afar or use poison or make it look like an accident. Beautiful, fun, but exceedingly repetitive would be good words to describe this game. Also the story was a little predictable in my opinion not to mention the open ending which I am starting to really hate (not specifically in this game but in general)
