The first AC wasn't that bad, there are way worse games out there. I'd give it a 7. It is very repetitive and the fighting does suck, but it can be fun tracking your kill and the story is good (the few bits you get to hear it anyway).
As far as it always being about going from point A to point B... have you ever played a video game? Every single one of them are like that. Even the open world games like GTA. You go get your mission (point a) and then you go do your mission (point B) and then you come back to finish your mission (point a again). This really can't be considered a compalint against a single game. In fact, AC is better at this than most games. At least you have a little bit of freedom to go where you want.
