I actually preferred Venice and Rome because they were brighter and had wider streets. Constantinople, while being a very busy city, was kind of ridiculous with the amount of people on the streets, so that the only optimal way to get around was on the rooftops. I wouldn't say it was parkour friendly, because cluttering the streets up with people means that navigation on a ground level is hard and you can't get to a point without weaving in and out, which takes up time. I'd say it was hard to find feel Constantinople refreshing because the bright colours were restricted only to the ports, and everything else was just the same visually, while the sky was either orange or black. The only place in the game that felt sunny was Galata, but the way that places were cordoned off from each other, even in Galata was discouraging.
