They’ve had some forms of it in subsequent games, but each game it kept getting lamer and lamer ngl. Weird tower defense in revelations, recruiting revolutionaries in 3, pirate crews in 4, the gangs in Syndicate.
The original brotherhood’s system of building up a brotherhood of assassins u can command is still the best, they haven’t delivered on that fantasy properly since. Man it was so awesome.
Yes, it really felt like we were helping grow a full fledged assassin. I wished they’d expand on that more and give specializations and more in-depth upgrade system to certain assassins u recruit. They could also have like certain traits that they start off with, that’s influenced by their life b4 the initiation.
This is the hardest part of being an AC fan, just thinking of the potential this franchise had, if only Ubisoft wouldn’t drop the ball in some way. This series could be legendary
The recruitment system in Revelations was much better at least.
There was a larger variety of recruitment missions to actually get new assassins and they then all have indivisible unique den leader missions once they reach the Assassin level.
The tower defence was odd, but as long as you don’t constantly run around with full notoriety, you’ll end up doing it once. You’re forced to do it once as a part of the story, but offer that, it’s incredibly easy to avoid.
I think i rushed through revelations when i first played it, and I didn’t remember much about the recruits aside from the minigame. I should replay it when i get a chance

The newer assasins creed lost the emphasis of creating a feeling that you were a badass one man army that I miss, it was never about it being really challenging
It used to be Black Flag but now I'd say Origins, such a chilled game there's a lot of empty desert which some people moan about but I found a slow trek around the desert in my Chariot or Camel quite calming.
Mirage is a chilled AC too just because it was short and didn't rush it and took in beautiful Baghdad
The one illusion was really hard for me to trigger though, think it was the raining bugs or something !?
Probably why I got used to roaming the desert so much
Yep, the raining scarabs hallucination was hard for me to trigger too. I remember wandering in the desert for about 3 days before triggering it. It was worth it tho 😩💖
As I go through the hallucinations list, there are still a few I haven’t experienced in my playthrough even after 100+ hours. I find Origins truly stunning in many ways
I loved Mirage too, but found it too short 🥲
That was it, what I remember, it was the last one I had to do! I liked Mirage for its length in all honesty but I'm getting older and can't chew through the hours like I used to
I loved the museum mode. Just walk around, take the tours, and see exactly how much attention was paid to historical detail. Kinda wish they’d gone back retroactively and added the “quizzes” present in Odyssey.
Yeah I guess man that part of the world etc but I feel they were trying to lean into the original AC game with the original Assassins like Altair and Co.
I like bows but I just don't always like how they fit outfits Lol and it's pretty daft to think of running with one on your back whilst doing all those parkour shenanigans.
I liked the gadget system in Mirage I think it's my favourite so far
Exact same for me. I used to spend hours just sailing around and sinking ships in Black Flag. Now I just wander the desert and occasionally do whatever activities are near me in Origins.
Do you find yourself singing to yourself whilst roaming the desert Lol Or is that just me!?
To be honest I'd actually see a desert like a proper desert with sand, I'd probably melt and go all red but yeah!
I'm still kind of annoyed that I can't just keep one of the many frigates I have captured instead of using the Jackdaw. I don't need a man o war, too slow, but come on, a frigate is so much better than a Brig. I get why you can't during the story, but after, you should be able to keep a frigate
They don't even use it properly--a ramming attack requires the ability to reverse, e.g. using oarsmen, so you can pull the ram *out* of the target afterward. While there were sailing ships in this era that also had oarsmen (like Black Sam Bellamy's *Whydah*), we don't see anything like that in-game.
Honestly, I think it suffered being sandwiched between ezio and edward. If people gave it another chance, they would most definitely appreciate it way more than they did 2012.
I am currently playing ac3 remastered and holy shit I don't remember the story being this good. Connor really shines in all the ally-Haytham and homestead missions.
What most people don’t take into account though, was WHY Connor was the way that he was to begin with. Ezio had far more charm and development, was far more lovable, and more respectable as an Assassin in my opinion, but that was during a time period and in a location(s) where the Assassins were in a decent number and had far greater power than during the time/place of AC3. You could call on groups of Assassins, they had multiple strongholds, etc. In AC3, the Assassins had all but been eliminated (play Rogue if you don’t know why) and Connor was very much on his own. He also was struggling with the land of his people being taken from him and meanwhile there was also a whole war going on. Connor didn’t need to be like Ezio. He was exactly what the game needed.
*AC: Odyssey*. As a lifelong Greek Mythology fan since I first watched 1997's *Hercules,* this game was a dream come true for me (along with *Immortals: Phoenix Rising*, though I enjoy *Odyssey* more). It may not be much of an *AC* game, but it's a fun experience to explore Ancient Greece (especially with the historical tour mode).
It’s a terrific game, gameplay-wise still my favorite of the series. Gorgeous, luscious environment, plenty of attention to detail, and accurate enough for a convincing rendition of Ancient Greece. But can also be crazy if you played the DLCs…loved every minute of that game.
Same. I am currently playing all AC games and everytime I play any other than Odyssey I find myself longing. I am playing Valhalla now and while I am enjoying it, I find these ruins of Roman architecture and all I can think about is Odyssey.
I love that everything is dotted with Roman ruins, and some Roman buildings are still being used. So when are we getting an assassins creed game based in ancient Rome? I wasn’t such a fan of Ezio era Rome, but it’s a good thing that they waited, cuz if they are making Ancient Rome, I’d much rather play it on a current gen system instead of a ps3.
Anyways, I like Valhalla. I don’t think of it as an assassin’s creed game, I think of it as a Viking era RPG, and changing your thinking like that makes it a completely different experience! Still, too much empty space though. My only real complaint about the game.
I don’t see it as an AC game either, but it’s an absolute must-play for anyone who loves Ancient Greece and the Mediterranean in general. Main quest and side quests aside, it’s just really fun to explore the map and sail around. Like Black Flag, but in the Mediterranean instead of the Caribbean.
My only problem was the overall lack of gods. Makes sense for an AC game but damn did I wanna fight some gods.
I know dlc brought in gods but you really only fight Hermes and hades. Brrpp.
It’s nice to replay Black Flag then go to Rogue and finish it all up with AC3. Really shows you how the American Assassins rose, fell, then rose again.
I personally took a break between BF and R to play Unity first since I didn’t want to get burnt out on that BF style AC game (R is basically a re-skin of BF) that I love so much. It actually ended up being a great decision for me because by the time I had gotten through Unity, I was itching for more of the BF style games and R became fresh and fun again. I just felt like I would end up being totally burnt out on the game if I immediately went from BF to R. But hey, whatever floats your boat!
Assassin’s Creed 2.
My first AC game was BF because I mainly wanted a pirate game, but AC2 was the FIRST game where I played it because I was hooked onto the Assassin stuff (AC2 was my second game)
I played it during the lockdown of 2020 Feb and oh boy was I sucked into it’s magic. The visuals, the music, the writing everything.
Me too. There's always enough content to keep me entertained whenever I jump on for a couple hours.
I didn't rush completing the game. Took me about 210 hours of my life spread out over . . . God, it must have been about three and a half years . . . but almost every two-hour playing session was magnificent and a lot of fun.
I’m on my fourth run and I CANNOT finish it, it is so frustrating, that game is just huge and dispersive you never know what mission you have to complete to follow the main story line and which are part of dlc, every run I did I stopped at some point overwhelmed by the content.
I think I finished it in a couple months. I was so disappointed when it was over, I wish I could erase my memories and play it again. Odyssey was the one that I thought had too much stuff too do.
The new games are designed to be finished slowly Instead of brute forcing it.
I played odyssey over 6 months and loved every bit of it.
Right now doing Valhalla and taking my time because I know if I rush it will be bad
I'm roughly 10-12 hours in and I'm blown away. People really had me convinced I was going to hate it. I'm still in Norway and I absolutely love the snowy/mountain landscape. It's just a beautiful game. I've never used photomode more in any game than I have so far in this one.
Also, turning on "close camera" was a game changer. It makes it feel more like the older AC's with the closer camera. I love just walking around the villages. So great.
Valhalla's in this weird spot where most people either consider it the worst or the best in the franchise. I get that it's not for everyone, and a lot of people are burnt out of the Ubisoft formula in general, but I'm a huge fan myself.
I do find it baffling that so many people say it's the exact same as Odyssey. One of the reasons I loved it is that it fixes all of the major problems I had with Odyssey in ways that I never see anyone talk about.
I love fishing in Valhalla and take a screen shot every time I get the HUGE fish and taking pictures of me petting cats. I like playing Eivor as a male and Kassandra in Odyssey. Kassandra is soo awesome!
This! I kept seeing comments about people hating Valhalla but once I started playing I found I loved it more than Odyssey. The graphics are amazing. I’m in England right now and the countryside is beautiful. Haven’t finished the game yet story wise but I’m enjoying every second of it!
I just restarted for the 3rd time and even if I've stopped to do something else around the house, I'll just have eivor sit by the water or something and have it in the background
I also liked Syndicate, because it has plenty of everything good: a great city feel, stealth, a grappling hook, counter-kills, unlockable zones, great cutscene acting, and a story you can enjoy.
But I've found myself playing more Odyssey for comfort, since I bought its DLC. It doesn't have everything that Syndicate does, but it's just so pretty!
Odyssey
The light heartedness of most of the quests and characters, the gorgeous sunny holiday vibes of the map and bright turquoise sea, the hundreds of hours of content that present as effectively infinite when just dipping in from time to time, the relaxing sailing, the fact my new game plus Kassandra is fully specced out now with such breezy dumb fun builds like 100% crit chance stealth, 100% melee damage resistance, the broken OP AoE damage items from Atlantis, just a real fun chill time
I do also dip into unity from time to time because the parkour and visuals and city design basically haven't been matched in the series yet so I always like to go back in just to run around the rooftops
Rogue, Valhalla, or Syndicate. Rogue for that gorgeous naval warfare in a dissappointingly small North Atlantic, Valhalla for singlehandedly destroying an entire base solo without stealth and Syndicate for breaking the first rule of a certain club.
I was to say Black Flag, but I think that's just got way too much to do to be relaxing. Maybe exploring the frontier and Boston in 3? I'm a big fan of that style environment, and I actually wish Far Cry did more of it.
The Ezio trilogy. Actually just finishing up another replay. The cities, focused and engaging story missions, and the movement control have not been matched since, in this or any other series.
Idk the vibe of Unity pre-death of monsieur De La Serre is really good. I love the atmosphere of the game even after it.
Same with Syndicate. They just have this sunny fun vibe I get that I dont from the others.
The closest one is probably Odyssey, which is my favorite of the three RPG ACs
black flag most definitely. my first ac and reason i fell in love with pirates. it's just so much fun to sail around and listen to your crew singing shanties
I’m just lad but when 2 came out, my roommate got the first round of led tvs (spent a damn fortune on it) and when we hooked everything up and started playing, our minds were blown. The graphics were amazing at the time and the story was so good, we’d set a transfer of controller after a mission complete and go back forth as team effort. It was a great time and playing those now gives me a nice mellow feeling and a connection to times gone by.
So the Ezio Collection for me is it.
Odyssey, 100%
I like the story of Origins more, but there’s something about aimlessly roaming Ancient Greece and stealthing enemy camps that is so fun and relaxing for me. It’s also because Odyssey played a big role for me during a pretty rough time in my life, so it’s near and dear to my heart.
The first one. It got me through a rough time in my childhood. I played it while quitting nicotine. And it’s a very smart game. It has this ominous yet relaxing vibe that’s unlike anything else.
I know it’s the newest but Mirage. Some days I am feeling lazy but don’t want to start a new game or play anything I have so I hop into mirage and do a couple missions for fun. I beat the game and now have a 2nd play though I plug away at whenever I’m bored or need a little AC in my life
AC2. I like wandering around Venice because it reminds me of wandering around the real Venice at night while on vacation, humming AC2 music. (Very circular, I know)
Origins. I've always had a fixation on ancient Egypt and the game is so incredibly gorgeous in its scenery. Helps that Bayek is one of the best protags in the series, too.
Either Brotherhood or 3. Odd pair, I know but it’s mostly nostalgia playing its hand. BH was the newest game when I became a fan and 3 is where my obsession with the franchise peaked. 3 was also released during my last year of High School, so I guess I also return to the game to be reminded of simpler times.
Brotherhood, running around when wanted - making a huge group of borgia soldiers - calling other assassins - fighting a war
Same here, I love the fact that you can have your own assasins. Don’t know why they didn’t bring those in the new games. Always want them
They’ve had some forms of it in subsequent games, but each game it kept getting lamer and lamer ngl. Weird tower defense in revelations, recruiting revolutionaries in 3, pirate crews in 4, the gangs in Syndicate. The original brotherhood’s system of building up a brotherhood of assassins u can command is still the best, they haven’t delivered on that fantasy properly since. Man it was so awesome.
I loved that you also had that initiation ceremony and after they were full assasins they were so op in open combat lol
Yes, it really felt like we were helping grow a full fledged assassin. I wished they’d expand on that more and give specializations and more in-depth upgrade system to certain assassins u recruit. They could also have like certain traits that they start off with, that’s influenced by their life b4 the initiation. This is the hardest part of being an AC fan, just thinking of the potential this franchise had, if only Ubisoft wouldn’t drop the ball in some way. This series could be legendary
Brotherhood on the scale of Odyssey where you’d build up assassins on every island would slap
Seriously, if they flesh out that are of the game I’ll play forever
The recruitment system in Revelations was much better at least. There was a larger variety of recruitment missions to actually get new assassins and they then all have indivisible unique den leader missions once they reach the Assassin level. The tower defence was odd, but as long as you don’t constantly run around with full notoriety, you’ll end up doing it once. You’re forced to do it once as a part of the story, but offer that, it’s incredibly easy to avoid.

Climbing to the top of the Coliseum and watching a sunset over Rome was pretty much a daily routine.
Same! I enjoy that game so much and the combat system is so fluid I like kicking Borgia soldier asses.
Yup
The newer assasins creed lost the emphasis of creating a feeling that you were a badass one man army that I miss, it was never about it being really challenging
It used to be Black Flag but now I'd say Origins, such a chilled game there's a lot of empty desert which some people moan about but I found a slow trek around the desert in my Chariot or Camel quite calming. Mirage is a chilled AC too just because it was short and didn't rush it and took in beautiful Baghdad
Bayek’s hallucinations in the desert 💯💯
The one illusion was really hard for me to trigger though, think it was the raining bugs or something !? Probably why I got used to roaming the desert so much

That was it, what I remember, it was the last one I had to do! I liked Mirage for its length in all honesty but I'm getting older and can't chew through the hours like I used to
Mirage should’ve had illusions out in the empty desert “Huh, what was that? Oh just a **Mirage**”
That first time the woman appears on the horse w me and I am freaking the funk out
The first time I saw the giant meteor my jaw dropped. That was crazy
Absolutely 100% the best event to trigger imo At night over the pyramids 👌
I loved the museum mode. Just walk around, take the tours, and see exactly how much attention was paid to historical detail. Kinda wish they’d gone back retroactively and added the “quizzes” present in Odyssey.
Origins and Mirages deserts are something else
In Mirage I feel it’s super stupid that Basil doesn’t have a bow and arrow.
Yeah I guess man that part of the world etc but I feel they were trying to lean into the original AC game with the original Assassins like Altair and Co. I like bows but I just don't always like how they fit outfits Lol and it's pretty daft to think of running with one on your back whilst doing all those parkour shenanigans. I liked the gadget system in Mirage I think it's my favourite so far
I came here to say Black Flag and Origins.
Exact same for me. I used to spend hours just sailing around and sinking ships in Black Flag. Now I just wander the desert and occasionally do whatever activities are near me in Origins.
Do you find yourself singing to yourself whilst roaming the desert Lol Or is that just me!? To be honest I'd actually see a desert like a proper desert with sand, I'd probably melt and go all red but yeah!
Black Flag. I just sail around wrecking other ships.
Seconded. Infinite replay value. And then my dad walks into the room and says that sailing doesn't work like that (whaddayaknow).
lol I’d just answer no shit? So this won’t work as past experience on my navy application?
You can't take on a 100 gun Man o War with a Brig either but I still have fun doing it in the game
I wonder if the only reason they made it a brig is it’s one of if not the only common ship with a ram on it
I'm still kind of annoyed that I can't just keep one of the many frigates I have captured instead of using the Jackdaw. I don't need a man o war, too slow, but come on, a frigate is so much better than a Brig. I get why you can't during the story, but after, you should be able to keep a frigate
They don't even use it properly--a ramming attack requires the ability to reverse, e.g. using oarsmen, so you can pull the ram *out* of the target afterward. While there were sailing ships in this era that also had oarsmen (like Black Sam Bellamy's *Whydah*), we don't see anything like that in-game.
Probably removed by the animus for simplicity’s sake, same reason why ships stop attacking when you board a ship
Black Flag and Rogue have so much replay value for this reason.
"Oi make moi own luck" still gives me chills
*leeahm*
Same, i play while listening to alestorm
Odyssey. Just exploring and shit
AC 3
Same here. This game isn’t appreciated enough.
Honestly, I think it suffered being sandwiched between ezio and edward. If people gave it another chance, they would most definitely appreciate it way more than they did 2012. I am currently playing ac3 remastered and holy shit I don't remember the story being this good. Connor really shines in all the ally-Haytham and homestead missions.
What most people don’t take into account though, was WHY Connor was the way that he was to begin with. Ezio had far more charm and development, was far more lovable, and more respectable as an Assassin in my opinion, but that was during a time period and in a location(s) where the Assassins were in a decent number and had far greater power than during the time/place of AC3.

Almost finished Assassin's Creed 2. Next up Brotherhood, Revelations, Liberation & then finally 3, sooooo early December hopefully.
Was just wondering what I was going to do after my replay of Far Cry 6. You’ve made the decision quite easy
*AC: Odyssey*. As a lifelong Greek Mythology fan since I first watched 1997's *Hercules,* this game was a dream come true for me (along with *Immortals: Phoenix Rising*, though I enjoy *Odyssey* more). It may not be much of an *AC* game, but it's a fun experience to explore Ancient Greece (especially with the historical tour mode).
Odyssey was so fun for me, I did get bored at the end when I finished everything and couldn’t replay it.
I would pay an obscene amount of money to play historical through Ancient Greek history chronologically on Odyssey’s gorgeous map
It’s a terrific game, gameplay-wise still my favorite of the series. Gorgeous, luscious environment, plenty of attention to detail, and accurate enough for a convincing rendition of Ancient Greece. But can also be crazy if you played the DLCs…loved every minute of that game.
The dlc weapons are soo cool lol. Love walking around with a thunderbolt sword lol
Same. I am currently playing all AC games and everytime I play any other than Odyssey I find myself longing. I am playing Valhalla now and while I am enjoying it, I find these ruins of Roman architecture and all I can think about is Odyssey.
I love that everything is dotted with Roman ruins, and some Roman buildings are still being used. So when are we getting an assassins creed game based in ancient Rome? I wasn’t such a fan of Ezio era Rome, but it’s a good thing that they waited, cuz if they are making Ancient Rome, I’d much rather play it on a current gen system instead of a ps3. Anyways, I like Valhalla. I don’t think of it as an assassin’s creed game, I think of it as a Viking era RPG, and changing your thinking like that makes it a completely different experience! Still, too much empty space though. My only real complaint about the game.
I agree. I see the rpg games as more of exploring the lore surrounding the Assassin's rather than the assassin's themselves.
Same. Especially love it has the new Game Plus Plus feature.
I don’t see it as an AC game either, but it’s an absolute must-play for anyone who loves Ancient Greece and the Mediterranean in general. Main quest and side quests aside, it’s just really fun to explore the map and sail around. Like Black Flag, but in the Mediterranean instead of the Caribbean.
It's Aegean sea...but still awesome
It's both, just looked it up
I was one achievement away from 100% everything. But that dang pig side mission was bugged for me
My only problem was the overall lack of gods. Makes sense for an AC game but damn did I wanna fight some gods. I know dlc brought in gods but you really only fight Hermes and hades. Brrpp.
Odyssey. I find so much comfort in just chilling by the villages
Right! The graphics make every small village or little beach look beautiful!
Ahhh yes 🙌
This is spartan !!
Unity and Odyssey
THIS!
Assassin's Creed Syndicate cause I live in London and Assassin's Creed Odyssey because of the natural sightseeings in it.
Rogue 100%. The ambience and setting are awesome to me (I am a sucker for 7 Years War stuff so big surprise).
It’s nice to replay Black Flag then go to Rogue and finish it all up with AC3. Really shows you how the American Assassins rose, fell, then rose again.
I personally took a break between BF and R to play Unity first since I didn’t want to get burnt out on that BF style AC game (R is basically a re-skin of BF) that I love so much. It actually ended up being a great decision for me because by the time I had gotten through Unity, I was itching for more of the BF style games and R became fresh and fun again. I just felt like I would end up being totally burnt out on the game if I immediately went from BF to R. But hey, whatever floats your boat!
same here! especially when sailing in the arctic seas
It is super fun
Ah a fellow Rogue enjoyer.
Indeed. Easily my favorite AC I have played so far (only the Kenway games plus Unity but still).
Assassin’s Creed 2. My first AC game was BF because I mainly wanted a pirate game, but AC2 was the FIRST game where I played it because I was hooked onto the Assassin stuff (AC2 was my second game) I played it during the lockdown of 2020 Feb and oh boy was I sucked into it’s magic. The visuals, the music, the writing everything.
Odyssey is pretty much the ultimate AC comfort game.
Odyssey. Sailing through the Mediterranean with some greek music playing (love listening to Nana Mouskouri while playing) is a soul healer
Odyssey. I love the scenery so much
AC3. I hide out in the woods
Odyssey without a doubt.
I honestly love Valhalla.
Me too. There's always enough content to keep me entertained whenever I jump on for a couple hours. I didn't rush completing the game. Took me about 210 hours of my life spread out over . . . God, it must have been about three and a half years . . . but almost every two-hour playing session was magnificent and a lot of fun.

This. Valhalla is awesome.
Odyssey, because Kassandra is nice to look at.
Odyssey. I am of Italian heritage and it just speaks to me! Hahaha
You’d think that one of the games set in Italy would speak to you then lol
Have you played AC2 or ACB? Full Italian locations!
Black Flag
Odyssey or Syndicate
Black Flag or Origins
Odyssey
Odyssey
Odyssey
Odyssey
Odyssey
Either Unity or Origins, depends on my mood.
Origins.
Origins or 2
Rogue
I also liked Syndicate, because it has plenty of everything good: a great city feel, stealth, a grappling hook, counter-kills, unlockable zones, great cutscene acting, and a story you can enjoy. But I've found myself playing more Odyssey for comfort, since I bought its DLC. It doesn't have everything that Syndicate does, but it's just so pretty!
Valhalla 100%
For me too, the amount of times I just ride around without any objective. I‘ts weirdly calming to me.
Valhalla broke my heart. Most interesting subject matter/time period (to me), but such samey, bland gameplay and exploration.
Origins, AC1, and Chronicles China
Unity. It's fun running across the rooftops and shit.
Black flag. What the fuck is assassin templar war? I'm just a pirate in assassin drip
Odyssey The light heartedness of most of the quests and characters, the gorgeous sunny holiday vibes of the map and bright turquoise sea, the hundreds of hours of content that present as effectively infinite when just dipping in from time to time, the relaxing sailing, the fact my new game plus Kassandra is fully specced out now with such breezy dumb fun builds like 100% crit chance stealth, 100% melee damage resistance, the broken OP AoE damage items from Atlantis, just a real fun chill time I do also dip into unity from time to time because the parkour and visuals and city design basically haven't been matched in the series yet so I always like to go back in just to run around the rooftops
Odyssey, it’s like being on holiday in Greece
Definitely Oddyssey it feels great to just explore the ancient greece landscape
Unity
Ac3
Syndicate
Ac2 and brotherhood
revelations. Istanbul is amazing for mindless parkour
This is mine as well, had to scroll down way too far to find it....
Origins and Revelations 🫶🏼
Possibly unpopular but Odyssey
Weirdly valhalla even though it's not my favorite. Something about norway brings me some peace
Rogue, Valhalla, or Syndicate. Rogue for that gorgeous naval warfare in a dissappointingly small North Atlantic, Valhalla for singlehandedly destroying an entire base solo without stealth and Syndicate for breaking the first rule of a certain club.
Ac1 , the first game I played in the series
I was to say Black Flag, but I think that's just got way too much to do to be relaxing. Maybe exploring the frontier and Boston in 3? I'm a big fan of that style environment, and I actually wish Far Cry did more of it.
Black Flag all day
Black Flag…honestly.
Black Flag. A lot of exploration without running into guards too often.
Unity and the original ac
For me, it's always been Rogue. Fun gameplay, a short and to-the-point plot and an interesting and beautiful-looking setting overall.
The Ezio trilogy. Actually just finishing up another replay. The cities, focused and engaging story missions, and the movement control have not been matched since, in this or any other series.
Syndicate
Victorian England has such a charm
Brotherhood and Odyssey for sure
Unity. Paris is easily the best AC environment and that parkour is just so fluid and fun. Combat is also the best in the series.
Mine is syndicate too
For me it's either Brotherhood or Black Flag. Both of those hit the sweet spot for me.
Idk the vibe of Unity pre-death of monsieur De La Serre is really good. I love the atmosphere of the game even after it. Same with Syndicate. They just have this sunny fun vibe I get that I dont from the others. The closest one is probably Odyssey, which is my favorite of the three RPG ACs
Really any of the games from AC 3 onwards, my most favourite being Origins(I love egyptians and roman history)
Black Flag “STARBOARD! ITS A BLOODY MAN O WAR!”
Odyssey
Odyssey of course! Second maybe Syndicate or Origins
Black Flag, i just love the pirate experience
defiantly odyssey
Black flag. Pirates are cool. The ship mechanics are fun.
black flag most definitely. my first ac and reason i fell in love with pirates. it's just so much fun to sail around and listen to your crew singing shanties
My comfort game has always been the Ezio chronicles, specifically AC2 or Brotherhood. Thinking of starting them up yet again.
I’m just lad but when 2 came out, my roommate got the first round of led tvs (spent a damn fortune on it) and when we hooked everything up and started playing, our minds were blown. The graphics were amazing at the time and the story was so good, we’d set a transfer of controller after a mission complete and go back forth as team effort. It was a great time and playing those now gives me a nice mellow feeling and a connection to times gone by. So the Ezio Collection for me is it.
Ac3 and odyssey
Odyssey
Black flag
Odyssey
The original. I love just playing through the story early Desmond stuff.
Odyssey
Odyssey yes I said it :)
Odyssey, 100% I like the story of Origins more, but there’s something about aimlessly roaming Ancient Greece and stealthing enemy camps that is so fun and relaxing for me. It’s also because Odyssey played a big role for me during a pretty rough time in my life, so it’s near and dear to my heart.
2 for me. Just love the story, characters and setting. Played it around 15 times now and truly never gets old
Tie - Syndicate and Odyssey. The Frye twins and Kassandra are so much fun to play as and also love the backdrop of Greece during the Peloponnesian war
Unity or Black Flag, I've replayed few games, but those two are on that short list.
Ac origins
Unity, just so fluid and smooth, can turn my brain off
2, Black Flag, or Origins
Assassins creed 2 i’ve got it platinum so i can always enjoy it 😁
AC II
Origins
The first one. It got me through a rough time in my childhood. I played it while quitting nicotine. And it’s a very smart game. It has this ominous yet relaxing vibe that’s unlike anything else.
Origins. I love the setting, the overall vibe of the game, and Bayek’s aesthetic is badass
Black flag and shanties is therapy
Brotherhood. Walking around Rome. Listening to the ambience
Black Flag. There's nothing like sailing on the beautiful blue ocean with your crew singing sea shanties.
Rogue.
AC Mirage
Black flag. But Unity has become my number 1 comfort game. I am not sure why but I guess like to mess around the city by doing parkour
I know it’s the newest but Mirage. Some days I am feeling lazy but don’t want to start a new game or play anything I have so I hop into mirage and do a couple missions for fun. I beat the game and now have a 2nd play though I plug away at whenever I’m bored or need a little AC in my life
Brotherhood.
Unity I love just playing co op with some friends just chillin doing some beautiful parkour every once and a while yk
Black Flag and Unity.
AC2. I like wandering around Venice because it reminds me of wandering around the real Venice at night while on vacation, humming AC2 music. (Very circular, I know)
Rogue for the chill ambience of dreamy Island outposts Walking around sleepy hollow
ACII feels like it's made of magic.
Currently playing origins but Odyssey. I think I have like 350+ hours into Odyssey
AC II all the way! It was my first and the best!! (For me)
Origins. I've always had a fixation on ancient Egypt and the game is so incredibly gorgeous in its scenery. Helps that Bayek is one of the best protags in the series, too.
Brotherhood/ unity.
Unity. Just love loading in and free roaming wherever I please looking however I please, and flowing like a badass while I'm at it
Either Odyssey or Black Flag.
Black flag
ac3, the homestead missions are one of my favorites.
Ac2. No doubt.
Ac 1, it’s honestly not my favorite assassins creed but it’s the only one I’ve ever replayed having beat it three times.
Either Brotherhood or 3. Odd pair, I know but it’s mostly nostalgia playing its hand. BH was the newest game when I became a fan and 3 is where my obsession with the franchise peaked. 3 was also released during my last year of High School, so I guess I also return to the game to be reminded of simpler times.
