Then maybe you should look
a little deeper...
Exactly. People who have had extensive hands-on have made it clear that this is not Assassin's Creed. There is a lot more going on with just the Nemesis system alone. But then there is all the mounts, etc.
As far as the combat goes, it is supposed to feel more like the Arkham series. But some previews have said that it goes even deeper with the wraith and ranger abilities you can pick and choose from, which there are supposed to be quite a few of. Some have even said that it might even feel better than playing the Batman games.
Also, people should not worry about it being some mindless button masher, as enemies will vary and have many different weakness that you must exploit. I have seen developers on the game screw up and get caught. Which of course makes the orc grow in power and even remember you.
