They didn’t use anything from Ubisoft to rebuild Notre Dame. It was suggested, but not done. In reality the building has lots of missing details, including an entire wing/part of the cathedral that’s just straight up not in Unity. It’s still a really impressive recreation though, just not true that it was so accurate that the restoration crews used material from Unity to rebuild.
Wrong. Ubisoft donated 500k for the rebuilding and offered help. It was never taken up on for a vareity of reasons. Feel free to fact check this yourself.
Valhalla is either loved or hated, I genuinely am shocked that it’s so low, let alone not in the top 5. It is absolutely stunning, and tbf is far from a traditional AC setting, but that broodish mood is exactly what I was wanting.
@@CYB3R2K Yeah you’re right, but tbh the Assassins Creed concept is not what draws me in, it’s always been the setting, same with other games, so I’m again very much part of the outlier group here. I enjoyed the more Assassin-centric games, but it’s not a priority for me.
There's something about Colonial America in AC3 that always grabs me in how authentic it feels as opposed to being vibrant or lively as some of the other settings in the franchise. The Frontier in was very reminiscent of the Kingdom from AC1. Compared to most nature oriented open-worlds, it always felt a lot more grounded and dynamic with its NPC's and events, which always drew me back to it whenever I replay. In the Black Hills section of the map, you could literally parkour amongst the trees for long stretches of time and see the beauty that really shines through in the remaster. Along with the beautiful Winter setting which really brings everything to life even more.
I agree. It truly felt like the devs wanted an authentic approximation of the setting in AC3 and not a sandbox that just catered to what players had come to expect (i.e. sprawling high buildings, rooftops and 'exotic' sights). Like they chose Revolutionary America and then went full-send when it came time to flesh it out, doing their best with the tech available to them at the time. It sets the game apart from the ones before it and makes for a very immersive experience.
The bit where you talk about Odyssey being your comfort game hit so hard. I played it early Covid and I will just never forget that experience. The game gets a lot of hate so it was nice hearing your thoughts on it!
I played finished and 100% origins today, i hear many people say that origins is way better than odyssey. Storywise, yes, i have to say that origins never bored me with the story and i even shed a tear in some parts... But odyssey, is perfect, i enjoyed it way more than origins and there is not even a competition between those two to me. Odyssey is definitely in my Top 10 best games.
@@klaudia2141most hate ive heard on it is the same as Origins or Valhalla, mainly the combat system as well as the rank system.

@alessiodushka7812 at least you aint biased and say EVERYTHING about origins is better, but i can agree with you, i think odyssey had better gameplay, and obviously graphics, but origins story was better imo.
The NPCs in Syndicate are also incredibly thought through: they play games, they watch someone carving a sculpture, they sing and dance, the conversations are also hilarious. The NPCs actually feel alive in this game, and they change to suit their surroundings. Such an overlooked but wonderful detail.
I’ve been saying it for years… Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate and the first two Watch Dogs games have some of the most realistic npcs in any game. Their worlds just feel alive. Actually, most Ubisoft games have incredibly well realized worlds.
I really enjoyed the Rift missions that gave you just a taste of the setting in different time periods, like La Belle Époque in Paris and WWI in England.

For me what also gave personallity to those games with its first entries was the crowd and all the social stealth that came with it. I liked how you had to pay attention to the crowd when traversing cities: - Walking quickly at the risk of bumping with someone holding a vase/crate and breaking your stealth approach or walking slower but making sure you avoid NPCs. - Running quickly at the risk of bumping into someone and falling or running slower but making sure to push people away and not get slowed down. - In AC1, avoid crazy people who will shove you aside, breaking your stealth approach. Alongside the recruitable NPCs we got with AC2 (courtesans, mercenaries, thieves), all those things brought some personality to the world and unique mechanics to the game. I was sad when, starting with AC3, the character would automatically run at full speed and remove civilians from his way, it just made the crowd part of the decor now, like any building, instead of having it be a "character" of its own to pay attention to.
AC3's Colonial America made me interested in US Colonial history even though back in school I was bored to hell by it and Valhalla's England sent me down a weekend worth of reading about England's history until like 1200.
Call me a hater but AC 1 not being deadlast is pure glazing.

it's funny that he ranks AC1's world higher than ACB's when AC1's world suffers from the worst monotony and boring empty space problems in the series, which are the very reasons he stated for ranking Rome so low.
@@1woozy That depends what you could as world. If you talk about just models/textures/placement of things, AC1 of course should be low. But if we start counting as part of it world building, setup, timeframe you play in history, AC1 suddenly jumps to top because you cannot really beat crusades, real templars, real assassins and their attempts of authenticity (we removed crossbow!). Like AC1 health bar is not health bar - it is synchronization bar with ancestor - because no one would really survive getting hit with sword that hard. Not to mention game even adresses some inconsistency with history in game (like anyone can write book etc.). Ac1 world quality wise is poor, but AC1 given me more immersion than any other later titles what for me world wise should count.
Odyssey is the MOST underrated AC game, ancient greece looked so good, the soundtracks were nice, combat was ok and the story was interesting, one of my favourites
This video was so entertaining.I absolutely love Ancient Greece. I love Greek history and when odyssey came out it was a dream come true. Thanks for making this vid it was so interesting to see what you think
Odessey undoubtedly has one of the most lively worlds period. It actually feels like Greece and it’s beautiful. The npcs are actually doing everyday things, having conversations and other things.
Interesting thing about Unity for me is i just finished it again 2 days ago and it was my buggiest playthrough yet i played it on release without a single issue.
I’m so happy people are finally realizing how good Unity is, a lot of people hated on it just because of the botched launch, but they never realized how much Ubisoft updated and improved it.
Thank you for giving syndicate the recognition it deserves. Absolute gem of a setting and an overall good game overshadowed by franchise fatigue at the time.
For me it’s always a hard choice between Odyssey and Valhalla. The amount of detail the developers put into Odyssey is just amazing. Like the giant snake skeleton near Delphi as a reference to to Apollo killing a snake so that Delphi gets it’s clairvoyant ability. Or the giant statue of Athena on the Akropolis which was destroyed almost a thousand years ago. And Valhalla’s huge forest with fog etc really adds an almost supernatural factor to the game. But if I had to choose I’d always pick Ancient Greece
no matter how bad the stealth, parkour or story is you can´t put valhalla so low on the world, it´s just stunning visually and there are many sidemissions to interact with.
Now this list is different, that's what we love to see. Finally someone who's not glazing the Ezio line, instead put one of the most hated parts into the first 3 place. Funniest thing is that it's fully understandable. Unity, Origins, Odyssey are the best episodes for the huge content that they offer and I enjoyed them the most if I have to be honest.
I agree with the top 3, but for me, the order would be Origins, Unity, and Odyssey. The problem with Origins is that when I played it, I thought the missions would take me through all the regions of the map, but that wasn’t the case. I reached the end and still had many parts of the map left to explore, and when I did, I realized most of it was just desert. Unity would easily be the best if it weren’t for the online or co-op missions. They couldn’t be played solo or weren’t played in the historical order they should have been. If this were fixed to follow the chronological story, the world would be better understood, and the game itself would easily be the best. Odyssey is by far the best, haha. I love it. I love Greece. The missions make you go everywhere, they add everything accomplished from previous games, it’s simply such a fun game in such a well-crafted world.
I’m so glad you mentioned the chronological order of the missions! It was mainly the co-op missions that were out of order and they were so difficult to play solo they were basically unplayable lol
For me, odyssey easily has the top spot. I don't care about the controversy regarding if it's actually an ac game and stuff, i just love it. Playing this game made me fall in love with ancient greece. It's easiky one of my favourite ac games and a much better made game than valhalla. Can't really explain it, but there's something about odyssey that makes me wanna play it over and over again. I love it's vibe.
I’m so fucking tired of seeing Valhalla in the last spot in so many lists on RUclips. Am I the only one who loves that game? It has more biomes than most AC games combined and it’s last? Fuck outta here
My comfort game still is Origins...My god, it has something, Egypt here must be the best open world ever in videogames, it's just perfect. I played and won Black Flash like 12 times, always in %100 completition... Revelations like 7 times, Unity almost 8, AC2 more than 10, thought I was done when Syndicate came out (like it but idk, felt strange)... Until Origins came out, man...I loved Origins since the first time, I did not want the game to end, since it came out I played it completely 6 times, love Bayek, love the map, still think Origins Egypt is unmatched.
As much as I hated valhalla, it is the most I have played out of all Ac games because of the world building of Norway and England, oh the times I have lost myself just exploring!
I actually think every AC game has had solid settings in terms of time period and location... The historical figures are another story however, and the characters especially in more recent games' side stories act badly out of place for their time periods. The modern/meta humor in Valhalla was easily the worst part of the game.
Valhalla is not one of the best AC game, But the world of AC Valhalla is one of the best. I would put it under top 5 at least. As for AC unity, the game is stunning but there is very less variety compared to other worlds. I would put it under top 5 as well but i don't think it deserves number 1.
I’m enjoying Valhalla more than I thought I would. Good I waited 4 years and got the compete edition on a major discount. I don’t much care for the assassins part of it. GOW got me hooked to Norse myth and this game has an intriguing take on it too.
Next: Ranking the DLC worlds please! Saint-Domingue of Freedom Cry and Empirical America from Washington DLC are great! And Elysium and Atlantis from Odyssey are fantastic!
I would personally go Syndicate honestly. You're already doing Odyssey which is big open world try Syndicate since it's the last I will say traditional style of AC games. Plus London is beautiful and the rope launcher is honestly one of my favorite things in the series. It's a time saver and gliding the distances is fun for me to watch.
One thing about AC origins i love is if you go to the cave where Layla is doing her shit. Bayek tells you thats where him and Amunet first fell in love and perhaps they should end it there too. Giving that location a whole different tone.
I agree with Valhalla. Ravensthorpe and surrounding area is amazing honestly, one of my favourite area across the whole series, tho the further away from it you go the more empty it gets. To the point where you find yourself just going from collectible/mystery to next one. It has authentic and fitting vibes, but thats about it. Realistic? Yes, but there is a fine line between realism and enjoyment. Its really weird when you think about Odyssey and Valhalla are very similar in terms of the size and exploration, yet in Odyssey it feels so much better. Maybe controversial take here, but its like taking Origins and Odyssey and taking the worst aspects of it and merging it into one.
Unity was not only the worst AC game. Its city was boring. The game mechanics are terrible. This dude has Valhalla last and Unity first. I can't even begin to compute that. There is no way people picked up Unity, and we're like, WOW, this is a great game. In fact, it's the opposite. Unless you were 8 when it came out.
13:vallahala 12:rouge 11:brotherhood 10:revelations 9:assassins creed 1 8:assassins creed 3 7:mirage 6:assassins creed 2 5:black flag (my favorite) 4:syndicate FINALL 3 3:odyssey 2:origins And last but not least 1:unity Hope this helped SUBSCRIBE
in my opinion my enjoyment of the games comes down to how interested I am in the history of the setting, as an Irishman the American revolution doesn't interest me too much but classical Greece baffles me, at this point the whole assassin/templar thing has gone over my head and it's just a history sim at this stage!
i would critique your 1st choice: 1.) there is no negative spaces like in origins, the negative spaces are good for an AC game, and the unitys world desigh is terreble, you do not get a sense of discoverey, 2.) it does not take place during the entirety of the french revolutuion, it only happens within one city, other places of france is fascinatong for the french revolution. 3.) the city is crowded, which is annoying for many people who want to traverse the world. 4.) the city is dull with monotone colours and dull atmosphere.
i veyr much misunderstood the title and went into this fully expecting a whole video detailing and ranking every option in the settings menus of the games, i have no idea why i was kinda up for watching that
My favourite world is probably odyssey, it just looks incredible and I love Ancient Greece so that adds to it. Shadows could definitely beat it if it’s done correctly though, I’m excited for it just to explore feudal Japan 😂
I really would love to see an AC game depicted on ancient Prehispanic American empires. It would be amazing to see the Mayan culture, Aztec civilization, Inca Empire. Their architecture was stunning, hope they can deliver a game with that setting in the future.
I'm glad I came across this channel. Regardless of what others may think, I've enjoyed every AC game I've played. Mirage was a bit disappointing because I finished it in about 30 hours. I love the gigantic games that take weeks to almost do everything. That's why I'm replaying Odyssey. Lol
Valhalla should have been a lot higher, England isn’t the only place in Valhalla, there is also Norway and Vinland, As well as Ireland and France in the DLC and Paris in Valhalla is a lot more vibrant than London which is Dark and Colorless in comparison.
You didnt mention the gorgeous interior of the appartments that are accessible by windows being left open. Unity is my favourite because of how much effort they put into that. None of the rooms are copied and pasted, theyre all unique and very detailed
I feel Syndicate (with Unity as second place) deserves the best ac world only for the fact that it FINALLY felt 1:1 scale... The buildings are big, the monuments massive! Climb them is so satisfying, and it shadows so much the other games' scale. For example, climbing San Marco's bell tower in Venice with Ezio was awesome... But then when I went there in real life I realized how big and LARGE it was that pillar (10/15 people at least, while in the game was large like 5/6 ezios) This just changed all for me, I now see worlds in games in a totally different way
Brotherhood's Rome might not be top of the list as a game world, but goddamn I would rank it #1 for music everytime Echoes of the Roman Ruins is literally peak
Before the rpg games, the ambience was perfect. But ever since origins, I feel so compelled to explore and experience each area of the map. Valhalla nailed that for me specially with the way the leveling lines up so well with the next arc. It felt so seamless. Before the RPGs every city felt like a themed climbing puzzle a little else. AC4 was the best in this regard before Origins. I would really like them to go back to the old AC style, but expansive maps with many diverse regions is something that we should keep from the RPGs.
I have noticed a resurgence and somewhat of a redemption for unity recently which is great to hear. Also after the Notre Dame was almost destroyed in 2019 the architects actually used and referenced Assassins Creed Unity to help plan the restoration and Ubisoft even donated to the restoration efforts which is really cool.
just finally got around to playing Valhalla about a week ago, and im already about done with the story. It has sucked me in completely and I am obsessed, any moment I have free outside of work this past week has gone into Valhalla. Barely even sleeping because the story plus the lore and landscape is incredible to me. Origins and Odyssey as well. Mirage was incredible. My all time favorite is AC2 but I dont get the hate for the newer ones. Valhalla is top 5 for me at the least
About Brotherhood I want to say, NO you can't navigate Rome after playing the game like many people claim, I've lived there 15 years and trust me it's utter and complete bs
I personally don’t agree with Valhalla not being up there, it’s easily top 3 at least the map and the fact you can travel to other worlds makes this Ac better
I'm currently playing all assassin's creed games in order, I've never played them before. Currently on 2. It's amazing, I understand why people love Ezio. Can't wait for the other games, but at the same time will be sad when 1 ends. Just wish they'd remaster the older games to 60+ fps (consoles) and modern graphics, would be so good!
In terms of cities - Rome (Brotherhood) and Paris (Unity). In terms of continent - Greece (Odyssey) and Egypt (Origins). But, all worlds are excellent work.
For me it΄¨s Assassin¨s Creed IIThe Florence,Monterigioni,Tuscanny and especially Venice is the reason that i fell in love with the Renaisance Italy and from then on i always wanted to go there just to see the atention to detail with my own two eyes.
This guys hate for Valhalla shows in almost all his videos 😂. I actually liked it allot. If you don't treat it as an assasins creed game and just look at it for what it is. Which is a viking game then it becomes allot of fun.
But thats dumb if next year call of duty releases a 3rd person platformer instead of a shooter you cant expect cod fans to like it! On top valhalla is not even a good rpg game so like it if you want but dont defend this garbage

it's funny that he ranks AC1's world higher than ACB's when AC1's world suffers from the worst monotony and boring empty space problems in the series, which are the very reasons he stated for ranking Rome so low.
@@1woozy That depends what you could as world. If you talk about just models/textures/placement of things, AC1 of course should be low. But if we start counting as part of it world building, setup, timeframe you play in history, AC1 suddenly jumps to top because you cannot really beat crusades, real templars, real assassins and their attempts of authenticity (we removed crossbow!). Like AC1 health bar is not health bar - it is synchronization bar with ancestor - because no one would really survive getting hit with sword that hard. Not to mention game even adresses some inconsistency with history in game (like anyone can write book etc.). Ac1 world quality wise is poor, but AC1 given me more immersion than any other later titles what for me world wise should count.
Ac1 is the most realistic and historically accurate best sound design too
i like both the revolution settings
so lively
Odyssey is the MOST underrated AC game, ancient greece looked so good, the soundtracks were nice, combat was ok and the story was interesting, one of my favourites
I’m playing ac odyssey while your speaking
Me too
I just bought it
This video was so entertaining.I absolutely love Ancient Greece. I love Greek history and when odyssey came out it was a dream come true. Thanks for making this vid it was so interesting to see what you think
Odessey undoubtedly has one of the most lively worlds period. It actually feels like Greece and it’s beautiful. The npcs are actually doing everyday things, having conversations and other things.
Interesting thing about Unity for me is i just finished it again 2 days ago and it was my buggiest playthrough yet i played it on release without a single issue.
Valhalla is my fav. I love Norway and England. Especially Northern parts of England.
Finally i saw someone admire this game
It deserve to be best world game i have ever seen
Me too.. AC Valhalla is my only AC with 100% completion 😂 and i like roaming freely in the world of Valhalla
its beautiful but its just way too empty
Yea bro i never did mysteries cuz they just felt dookie@@arditazman6823
Valhalla definitely belongs WAY closer to the top
The sidequest in valhalla including those stones which every time you count them are different will never leave my head.
It would be easier to remember the valhalla side quests if they werent 12 seconds long.
I’m so happy people are finally realizing how good Unity is, a lot of people hated on it just because of the botched launch, but they never realized how much Ubisoft updated and improved it.
Thank you for giving syndicate the recognition it deserves. Absolute gem of a setting and an overall good game overshadowed by franchise fatigue at the time.
Some days it’s my favorite Assassin’s Creed.
I especially agree with your point about og AC having the best ambience in the series, that's the most important part for me
For me it’s always a hard choice between Odyssey and Valhalla. The amount of detail the developers put into Odyssey is just amazing. Like the giant snake skeleton near Delphi as a reference to to Apollo killing a snake so that Delphi gets it’s clairvoyant ability. Or the giant statue of Athena on the Akropolis which was destroyed almost a thousand years ago. And Valhalla’s huge forest with fog etc really adds an almost supernatural factor to the game. But if I had to choose I’d always pick Ancient Greece
no matter how bad the stealth, parkour or story is you can´t put valhalla so low on the world, it´s just stunning visually and there are many sidemissions to interact with.
Now this list is different, that's what we love to see. Finally someone who's not glazing the Ezio line, instead put one of the most hated parts into the first 3 place. Funniest thing is that it's fully understandable. Unity, Origins, Odyssey are the best episodes for the huge content that they offer and I enjoyed them the most if I have to be honest.
I agree with the top 3, but for me, the order would be Origins, Unity, and Odyssey. The problem with Origins is that when I played it, I thought the missions would take me through all the regions of the map, but that wasn’t the case. I reached the end and still had many parts of the map left to explore, and when I did, I realized most of it was just desert. Unity would easily be the best if it weren’t for the online or co-op missions. They couldn’t be played solo or weren’t played in the historical order they should have been. If this were fixed to follow the chronological story, the world would be better understood, and the game itself would easily be the best. Odyssey is by far the best, haha. I love it. I love Greece. The missions make you go everywhere, they add everything accomplished from previous games, it’s simply such a fun game in such a well-crafted world.
I’m so glad you mentioned the chronological order of the missions! It was mainly the co-op missions that were out of order and they were so difficult to play solo they were basically unplayable lol
Such odd timing you release this today, as I just made my own rankings and watched other creators rankings this morning 😂
Very good list actually
For me, odyssey easily has the top spot. I don't care about the controversy regarding if it's actually an ac game and stuff, i just love it. Playing this game made me fall in love with ancient greece. It's easiky one of my favourite ac games and a much better made game than valhalla. Can't really explain it, but there's something about odyssey that makes me wanna play it over and over again. I love it's vibe.
Greece is my favorite ancient civilization, so I doubt any AC setting will ever top it for me personally
I’m so fucking tired of seeing Valhalla in the last spot in so many lists on RUclips. Am I the only one who loves that game? It has more biomes than most AC games combined and it’s last? Fuck outta here
As an Englishman I found England in the game pretty boring, other than the coastal areas, but Norway did look amazing
My comfort game still is Origins...My god, it has something, Egypt here must be the best open world ever in videogames, it's just perfect.
I played and won Black Flash like 12 times, always in %100 completition... Revelations like 7 times, Unity almost 8, AC2 more than 10, thought I was done when Syndicate came out (like it but idk, felt strange)...
Until Origins came out, man...I loved Origins since the first time, I did not want the game to end, since it came out I played it completely 6 times, love Bayek, love the map, still think Origins Egypt is unmatched.
As much as I hated valhalla, it is the most I have played out of all Ac games because of the world building of Norway and England, oh the times I have lost myself just exploring!
They are so bloated and empty at the same time. Same goes for Odyssey. So disappointed with those 2 games.
I think the first AC still looks very good today.
I remember being absolutely blown away with the frontier in AC3.
I WAS IN A BOSS ROSS PAINTING.
Valhalla is one of my favorite AC open worlds. I think it’s so fun to explore. Should be way higher than last
I love Odyssey and Valhalla because they are just located beautiful places, the landscapes in both are insane
"Baghdaddy"- The hidden one 2024
I actually think every AC game has had solid settings in terms of time period and location... The historical figures are another story however, and the characters especially in more recent games' side stories act badly out of place for their time periods. The modern/meta humor in Valhalla was easily the worst part of the game.
Valhalla is not one of the best AC game, But the world of AC Valhalla is one of the best. I would put it under top 5 at least. As for AC unity, the game is stunning but there is very less variety compared to other worlds. I would put it under top 5 as well but i don't think it deserves number 1.
Egypt was beautiful
I’m enjoying Valhalla more than I thought I would. Good I waited 4 years and got the compete edition on a major discount.
I don’t much care for the assassins part of it. GOW got me hooked to Norse myth and this game has an intriguing take on it too.
Next: Ranking the DLC worlds please! Saint-Domingue of Freedom Cry and Empirical America from Washington DLC are great! And Elysium and Atlantis from Odyssey are fantastic!
Hidden one, can you make a video about what the most emotional sequence or mission was in each game?
my personal favorites are syndicate, unity and black flag
but nice list
This video helped me decide which to play next thanks! I’m currently on odyssey and was going between Valhalla and syndicate on next up. Great video
I would personally go Syndicate honestly. You're already doing Odyssey which is big open world try Syndicate since it's the last I will say traditional style of AC games. Plus London is beautiful and the rope launcher is honestly one of my favorite things in the series. It's a time saver and gliding the distances is fun for me to watch.
One thing about AC origins i love is if you go to the cave where Layla is doing her shit. Bayek tells you thats where him and Amunet first fell in love and perhaps they should end it there too. Giving that location a whole different tone.
I agree with Valhalla. Ravensthorpe and surrounding area is amazing honestly, one of my favourite area across the whole series, tho the further away from it you go the more empty it gets. To the point where you find yourself just going from collectible/mystery to next one. It has authentic and fitting vibes, but thats about it. Realistic? Yes, but there is a fine line between realism and enjoyment. Its really weird when you think about Odyssey and Valhalla are very similar in terms of the size and exploration, yet in Odyssey it feels so much better. Maybe controversial take here, but its like taking Origins and Odyssey and taking the worst aspects of it and merging it into one.
Valhalla last place?! No way bro...
100% true and right.
😂😂😂😂😂 true ( copy past)
@@Przemo9050 not really... it could be a little higher even if it is one place above it. but its fair
Unity was not only the worst AC game. Its city was boring. The game mechanics are terrible. This dude has Valhalla last and Unity first. I can't even begin to compute that. There is no way people picked up Unity, and we're like, WOW, this is a great game. In fact, it's the opposite. Unless you were 8 when it came out.
read the title
I picked up Unity and thought Wow! You just wouldn't recognise beauty if it'd hit you in the face...

Thanks
Rogue seriously has one of the most boring fucking setting in a video game possible
in my opinion my enjoyment of the games comes down to how interested I am in the history of the setting, as an Irishman the American revolution doesn't interest me too much but classical Greece baffles me, at this point the whole assassin/templar thing has gone over my head and it's just a history sim at this stage!
Honestly I relate. Being Arab, Baghdad was my favorite to explore and Egypt is second
The American Revolution is a great setting and i'm tired of people acting like its not.
i would critique your 1st choice:
1.) there is no negative spaces like in origins, the negative spaces are good for an AC game, and the unitys world desigh is terreble, you do not get a sense of discoverey,
2.) it does not take place during the entirety of the french revolutuion, it only happens within one city, other places of france is fascinatong for the french revolution.
3.) the city is crowded, which is annoying for many people who want to traverse the world.
4.) the city is dull with monotone colours and dull atmosphere.
I enjoyed Odyssey so much. The world, the music, the story... Stunning.
i veyr much misunderstood the title and went into this fully expecting a whole video detailing and ranking every option in the settings menus of the games, i have no idea why i was kinda up for watching that
Ubisoft has A LOT of problems, but I have always really enjoyed all the game worlds they've made
I loved assassins creed syndicate! It was so fun to me
My favourite world is probably odyssey, it just looks incredible and I love Ancient Greece so that adds to it. Shadows could definitely beat it if it’s done correctly though, I’m excited for it just to explore feudal Japan 😂
I really would love to see an AC game depicted on ancient Prehispanic American empires.
It would be amazing to see the Mayan culture, Aztec civilization, Inca Empire.
Their architecture was stunning, hope they can deliver a game with that setting in the future.
My personal Top 7 ranking:-
7. AC III
6. AC ROGUE
5. AC UNITY
4. AC BLACK FLAG 🔥
3. AC SYNDICATE
2. AC ORIGINS
1. AC ODYSSEY ❤️
I'm glad I came across this channel. Regardless of what others may think, I've enjoyed every AC game I've played. Mirage was a bit disappointing because I finished it in about 30 hours. I love the gigantic games that take weeks to almost do everything. That's why I'm replaying Odyssey. Lol
Valhalla should have been a lot higher, England isn’t the only place in Valhalla, there is also Norway and Vinland, As well as Ireland and France in the DLC and Paris in Valhalla is a lot more vibrant than London which is Dark and Colorless in comparison.
You didnt mention the gorgeous interior of the appartments that are accessible by windows being left open. Unity is my favourite because of how much effort they put into that. None of the rooms are copied and pasted, theyre all unique and very detailed
Surprised but also pretty happy with the top 3. Besides the detail, Unity has such an amazing vibe, like looking at a living painting
I feel Syndicate (with Unity as second place) deserves the best ac world only for the fact that it FINALLY felt 1:1 scale... The buildings are big, the monuments massive! Climb them is so satisfying, and it shadows so much the other games' scale. For example, climbing San Marco's bell tower in Venice with Ezio was awesome... But then when I went there in real life I realized how big and LARGE it was that pillar (10/15 people at least, while in the game was large like 5/6 ezios)
This just changed all for me, I now see worlds in games in a totally different way
31:43 and sure enough, I think they’re using Unitys Notre Dame as a blueprint to rebuild the cathedral irl
Nope, that's a myth.
Bayek got so robbed of a sequel it's criminal.
I think Mirage and my favorite Language addition I found myself just saying yalsadiik and other stuff just just randomly
Brotherhood's Rome might not be top of the list as a game world, but goddamn I would rank it #1 for music everytime
Echoes of the Roman Ruins is literally peak
Before the rpg games, the ambience was perfect. But ever since origins, I feel so compelled to explore and experience each area of the map. Valhalla nailed that for me specially with the way the leveling lines up so well with the next arc. It felt so seamless. Before the RPGs every city felt like a themed climbing puzzle a little else. AC4 was the best in this regard before Origins. I would really like them to go back to the old AC style, but expansive maps with many diverse regions is something that we should keep from the RPGs.
I have noticed a resurgence and somewhat of a redemption for unity recently which is great to hear. Also after the Notre Dame was almost destroyed in 2019 the architects actually used and referenced Assassins Creed Unity to help plan the restoration and Ubisoft even donated to the restoration efforts which is really cool.
just finally got around to playing Valhalla about a week ago, and im already about done with the story. It has sucked me in completely and I am obsessed, any moment I have free outside of work this past week has gone into Valhalla. Barely even sleeping because the story plus the lore and landscape is incredible to me. Origins and Odyssey as well. Mirage was incredible. My all time favorite is AC2 but I dont get the hate for the newer ones. Valhalla is top 5 for me at the least
ACIII's settings are the best for me, especialy the homestead and frontier, because of all of the nature and the uniqueness.
funny how you say the the best graphic assasins creed is the worst map.
About Brotherhood I want to say, NO you can't navigate Rome after playing the game like many people claim, I've lived there 15 years and trust me it's utter and complete bs
😂
I personally don’t agree with Valhalla not being up there, it’s easily top 3 at least the map and the fact you can travel to other worlds makes this Ac better
I'm currently playing all assassin's creed games in order, I've never played them before. Currently on 2. It's amazing, I understand why people love Ezio. Can't wait for the other games, but at the same time will be sad when 1 ends. Just wish they'd remaster the older games to 60+ fps (consoles) and modern graphics, would be so good!
I’ve referred to valhallas world as being joyless and at points downright tedious in the past
Rogue is much better if you consider the time and budget constraints, but if we're ranking without considering that then it's not the best, true
In terms of cities - Rome (Brotherhood) and Paris (Unity). In terms of continent - Greece (Odyssey) and Egypt (Origins). But, all worlds are excellent work.
Hearing someone being positive about Assassin's Creed feels pretty good every once in a while
For me it΄¨s Assassin¨s Creed IIThe Florence,Monterigioni,Tuscanny and especially Venice is the reason that i fell in love with the Renaisance Italy and from then on i always wanted to go there just to see the atention to detail with my own two eyes.
The world in Odyssey is Truly Great the islands the cultures IDK. Maybe its cause i love Classical and ancient Greece
This guys hate for Valhalla shows in almost all his videos 😂. I actually liked it allot. If you don't treat it as an assasins creed game and just look at it for what it is. Which is a viking game then it becomes allot of fun.
But thats dumb if next year call of duty releases a 3rd person platformer instead of a shooter you cant expect cod fans to like it! On top valhalla is not even a good rpg game so like it if you want but dont defend this garbage
It's Odyssey for me. . . THE ONLY game that I have ever just put the controller in at moments just to absorb the atmosphere.
