It seems a lot of the reviewers are enjoying the stealth aspect.

From this review, the one comparison that comes to mind is Middle-Earth: Shadow of War. The story is forgettable, but it's so enjoyable just roaming the world killing guys that it doesn't really matter.

I think it could've been great if Shadows had been able to add a nemesis system.

In the Steam forums there's a post claiming the lead character isn't historically accurate enough. The first response to this person is:

"Who cares dude. I didn't mind fighting the Pope to wrestle control of a magical mind controlling ball made by aliens. I stopped caring about historical accuracy a long time ago."

And that should end all debate right there.

C'mon Ubisoft! Hope you pull this one off.

Of course, if they had set this in China instead of Japan, all their financial problems would end in about 48 hours.

Yeah, but Warner Brothers patented the Nemesis System. That's why you'll never see it again. They wanted to make sure it was lost to history.

As far as how different you'd have to make your own Nemesis System to be able to win the inevitable lawsuit, I don't think anyone is in the mood to test it.
