It is not just you. It reminds me of Taco Bell. They’re only working with a dozen or so ingredients, sometimes fried, sometimes grilled, in various combinations. After a while though, you start to realize it’s just a “new” arrangement of the same “meat” and it gets ooooold.

Sounds like the "fast food" (in the street or market) in Mexico though.

Different configurations of the same corn, chiles, and meats. Grilled or fried. Tacos, sopes, flautas, enchiladas, gorditas, quesadillas.

Frankly sounds like all fast food except a place like Chili's, so doesn't seem like very scathing criticism.

It's a shame, they used to be good. I really like the idea behind Assassin's Creed. And Sands of Time is a god tier A++ game.
I couldn’t agree more, I think they just got lost in the easy money. If we’re lucky they might fall on some hard times that fall short of killing them, and rememember that making really great games was how they became huge the first time. Otherwise, it’s hard to see a way forward the way they are now.
