Eh origins and this one feel to have leaned more heavily into combat vs stealth. Most situations are geared towards open combat IMO. The older iterations felt more like a stealth hunting game, even bringing back the simple hiding in a crowd mechanic would be a good start.

The older games felt more like tenchu where you could fight if you had to but stealth was the goal. Now you can run buck wild into every confrontation and come out ahead if you want to.
