Assassin's Creed is an open-world action-adventure stealth video game franchise published by Ubisoft and developed mainly by its studio Ubisoft Montreal using the game engine Anvil and its more advanced derivatives. Created by Patrice Désilets, Jade Raymond, and Corey May, the Assassin's Creed series depicts a fictional millennia-old struggle between the Assassins, who fight for peace and free will, and the Templars, who desire peace through order and control. The series features historical fiction, science fiction and fictional characters intertwined with real-world historical events and figures. In the majority of the games, players control a historical Assassin, while also playing as an Assassin Initiate or someone caught in the Assassin-Templar conflict in the present-day framing story. The series took inspiration from the novel Alamut by the Slovenian writer Vladimir Bartol, based on the historical Hashashin sect of the medieval Middle East,[1] while building upon concepts from the Prince of Persia series.[2]
The series's eponymous first title was released in 2007, and it has featured twelve main games in total, the most recent being 2020's Valhalla. Main games of Assassin's Creed are set in an open world and presented from the third-person perspective where the protagonists take down targets using their combat and stealth skills with the exploitation of the environment. Players have freedom to explore the historical settings as they finish main and side quests. Apart from single-player missions, some games also provide competitive and cooperative multiplayer gameplay. A new story and occasional new time period are introduced in each entry, and gameplay elements evolve from the previous one. There are three overarching story arcs in the series. The first five main games follow Desmond Miles, a descendant of several important Assassins throughout history, who uses a machine called the Animus to relive his ancestors' memories and find powerful artifacts called "Pieces of Eden", while also attempting to prevent a catastrophic event said to wipe out humanity by the end of 2012. From Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and until Assassin's Creed Syndicate, Assassin initiates and employees of Abstergo (a company used as a cover by the modern-day Templars) record genetic memories using the Helix software, helping the Templars and Assassins find new Pieces of Eden in the modern world. The latest three games, Assassin's Creed Origins, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, and Assassin's Creed Valhalla, follow ex-Abstergo employee Layla Hassan and her own quest to save humanity from another disaster.
The main games in the Assassin's Creed video game series have received generally positive reviews for their ambition in visuals, game design, and narratives, with criticism for the yearly release cycle, frequent bugs, and shift towards the prioritising of role-playing mechanics. The spin-off games received mixed reviews. The video game series has received multiple awards and nominations, including Game of the Year awards. It is commercially successful, selling over 155 million copies as of October 2020, becoming Ubisoft's best-selling franchise and one of the highest selling video game franchises of all time.

Hey hi hello, at 2:23 I said that I think Valhalla is made for the WIDEST audience possible, like it appeals to the largest group of people. A lot of you are hearing WHITEST... yeah I should've used a different word there. No, I was not suggesting Valhalla was made for white people 😂
Thank you for shining a positive light on Unity 🙏🏽….Ubisoft should’ve stuck with this formula
@@melokelo1498 literally everyone does. that shit is no longer underrated.
i love assains creed syndicate but i also cant disagree what u said about them still i love that game and my most fav is assains creed 2
I mostly agree but you should rank all the far cry games or all the resident evil games
What do you mean ac valhalla is the "whitest"
When I played ac3 I didn't realize there was a fast travel option so I ended up running everywhere and I think it's why I ended up enjoying the game so much. The snowy forests just can't be beat.
True i also feel this, running thousand miles
Ac 3 was my first game Haytham was my fav video game character of all time, discovering he was a villain in the game was my first major heartbreak
@@v1k1ng43 he is not that 'villain' compared to other templar in the series tho
Me in ac brotherhood :
@@v1k1ng43 Charles Lee was my favorite
I’m praying parkour becomes a big part of AC again. I really miss it.
I never understood why so many people said this until I played prince of persia
Unity's Parkour is the beat. If only they bring it back in the future
Madara be like: Wake up to reality. Nothing ever goes as planned in this accursed world. The longer you live the more you realize that the future of AC is only pain, suffering and futility.
Me too Itachi, me too
I agree with the second place being unity . Absolutely love that game
Ac4 was my favorite. I just loved the pirate aspect to it, and it looked pretty good for the time. The music was awesome during combat, too
Dont forget about the ending as well, it's better than rdr 2 ending in my opinion, It still gets me anytime
@@farel6406 No. Just No. play rdr2 again and then compare. RDR 2 ending is more emotional.
Me too man!!
Black Flag got nothing to do with assassin's creed
@@dlg9309 it doesn't change a thing about my opinion of it. I enjoyed the game when I first played it and still do every time I pick it back up. If black flag not fitting with what you believe should be an ac game means it isn't fun to play for you, then just think of it as a fan made spinoff pirate game and just have fun playing video games like the rest of us.
The ending for Black Flag is unforgettable. I know most people's favorite protagonist is Ezio but for me Edward Kenway was just phenomenal. I dont know how they did it
I disagree, I loved Black Flag but I don't remember anything from ending, except young Haytem.
IKR!! just finished it yesterday (again) after 2013-2014
@@tron0150 damn, you either have no feelings, or you rushed everything so you didnt care about the story, because the ending hits hard
@@alienigenamton No, it's just that AC4 has bad story.
@@tron0150 Damn hahaha, I see, you are just a hater, probably havent even played the game, got you, dont worry
This is definitely YOUR list. It felt genuine. Like you actually had your own opinions. I really appreciate you not pandering for this list.
🙏 glad it came off that way :)
@@jayveeeee i disagree with some of your opinions but there opinions
Though that bro read my mind with the list:))
The only one I disagree with is AC Origins being above AC2, although I will admit to putting hundreds of hours into AC Origins, AC2 is a masterpiece and one of the few AC games that people other than AC fans play a lot. In my opinion AC Origins belongs with AC Valhalla and Odyssey, those games are barely even Assassins Creed at this point.
@@ProfessionalTale Yes but you have to look at things beyond just story and characters.
Ezio is great but quite frankly, most side characters were really boring to me, but they are still somewhat memorable and I do remember some such as Machiavelli, Leonardo (who is the best side character in AC) or even La Volpe.
AC2 doesn't age well in the other aspects if you ask me, but it is still a good time and I can see why it was placed so low.
For me Brotherhood was the peak. I loved recruiting assassins and doing mission where I employed them strategically to take out guards. That is the coolest I felt in the entire series.
Yes bro totally agreed
Exactly he didn’t talk enough about that part
My favorite is Brotherhood as well. The only assassin's creed game that I finished multiple times.
I still miss multiplayer
@@IvannM4 same my favorite AC game
As an outsider to AC Odyssey is the only AC in all the years of it being a powerhouse that got me into AC. I can completely understand how jarring Odyssey would’ve been to AC fans with how different it is from the others especially those before it and Origins. For me though you have to give it credit for giving me more motivation to actually check out AC after all these years. Odyssey is perfect for me as I LOVE Ancient Roman and Greek history. So for me Odyssey is perfect. Can definitely see why fans of AC wouldn’t feel like it belongs.
that's the whole point its a great ancient greek game, but it has almost nothing to do with stealth and assassination
Imagine controlling your arrows 😂
Odyssey is the only AC game i’ve player and i’m in love with it and have already finished it as alexios it’s so good
@@brentdaelman4153 Except with the exception of the battles, the naval combat and some scripted encounters, everything can be beaten through a stealthy approach if you choose to.
@@philipgomez7193Just dont? Something completely optional to use is such a ridiculous thing to complain about
OG AC games for the story, AC Unity for being an actual assassin, AC Origins and Black Flag were absolutely phenomenal.
AC Odyssey/Vallhala are an absolute joy to play even tho its not assasins creed.
I've played almost every AC games and so far i could say that i enjoyed all of them, none of the game i would considered to be "bad", some of them are just mediocre (Syndicate and Rogue are mediocre)
i found odyssey very fun but I found Valhalla dogshit asf, even when I already separated it from AC franchise from the start I still found it so damn boring and awful
@@justintran9896 This also felt the same, i usually feel very excited to play an AC game but haven't touched Valhalla in a year and left it mid way. I don't know what it is about it, the atmosphere? The landscape? The story? It just didn't captive me at all. It could be just me growing apart from video games too
@@theotht i had the same issue. i thought video games were boring because i had the same experience with valhalla, but i played the ezio triology last week and my god i was captivated even though i had played them like 5 times through already. setting can carry games and sorry brits, but england is quite literally the most dreary looking country in the world. valhalla was just playing through quests you had no attachment to and the main characters personality was as flavorful as my sweaty ballsack. valhalla doesnt even deserve to be a game in its own right even if it wasnt part of assassins creed. its just boring
And of syndicate?
AC II came out when I was studying Renaissance art history in high school. Visiting the real Florence, places around Tuscany, Roma, etc. at that time was one of the most magical moments for me, hugely thanks to the AC II setting. I'll never forget that.
Similar for me. I remember being amazed at the history in the game, especially the architecture. It definitely had that magical feeling for me that you get when you’re a kid and a game just completely and totally engrosses you. Oblivion holds similar memories.
That's awesome dude, great timing lol
I was in middle school learning about the renaissance. In fact, most of the AC games I played (I’ve played them all expect for AC rogue and liberation) coincided with something in my school curriculum at that time. Didn’t plan it at all, but my school field trip to NY/DC happened after I finished AC3. Totally made me appreciate and fall in love with history
Yeah this shows they should teach us on games we new generation
I went to Florence a few years back for the first time and thought many of the buildings looked familiar. Same with Venice and Rome. It was like I had been there before. I had forgotten all about AC2. When I replayed the game a while after that, it all came flooding back. It’s so awesome to see the areas that the game is based on. It makes it even more special. Still haven’t found any of the hidden tombs, though.
Unity is the ultimate vision of what AC could have been and the failure that led us down this path we are now on, for that I will never forgive it.
Okay, calm down.
@@calebmurphy9406 got a little carried away there
gameplay wise, yes
story wise, AC II and AC Revelations should be here
unity is most fun game I've seen in whole franchise but ehhh story wasn't that good, it was pretty mediocre and only good part of story is medieval intro
Unity parkour was crisp
Objectively Unity is the best assassin's creed and the pinnacle of stealth, combat ,and parkour in the series.
AC unity finally getting the recognition it deserved. An amazing AC experience. Its parkour and gameplay was so good that playing the older games sometimes feel slow boring in comparison 😅
The first Assassin’s Creed is an incredible game that still holds its own. Very unique playing through it now all these years later.
Still to this day, AC1 will remain my fav AC game.
AC is history, a real gameplay revolution but is a little more than a tech demo, the 2nd is pratically a reboot and a real game.
AC1 was incredible in its own right, it set the tone for things to come and founded an arguably legendary franchise. That being said, I played it again recently and found it aged in some ways, and not all of it good. It was repetitive and some story elements were ham-fisted.
I played it 10 years ago and it aged like milk BACK THEN.
Black flag will always be my favorite AC game. There is just so much to do, and the idea of a pirate and an assassin is so sick! Also, the story is just so dang good. This brings actual pirates such as Blackbeard and stede bonnet and just makes them so perfect
If they remastered blackflag id open my wallet inmediately for that
@@diegobarriga8330 I think they should remake it completely or make number 2 it only takes a couple days to finish
@@diegobarriga8330 Personally I don't see a need to remake it
@@Ash-cq6bh in a few years when PS5 becomes the commonly used console, I could see a viable remaster. But too many people still use PS4 which AC4 is available for.
@@SuperCoon88 Thing is the graphics aren't all that terrible but the combat could use some fluidity I suppose.
I went to Italy in 2018 and visited Florence, Venice and Rome.
That trip cemented AC2 as my all time fave, the attention to detail to the locations and history left me in awe
I was in Rome last week and I knew already half of the city because of the ezio saga 😂😂😭😭 was in the pantheon like ahh I want to climb it
@@ari7cr lol if u go again try to go to florence, u can actually climb the Duomo using the stairs inside and stand on the top platform.
@@theroamingsavage8813 damn, will do so, thank you 🤝🏼
Check out Paris you may really like unity!
@@henr2157 i found that paris' natives really dont like english speakers tho
Totally agree with you on Origins. A perfect blend of the old games with the new era and Egypt was a magical setting. Too bad they leaned so hard into the new era and Valhalla is a nothing but a chore
I've completed "Origins" to 100.0%. Nothing left undone. Regarding "Valhalla", I probably wouldn't play much of it, if I received it for free. I cannot think of a more ill-fitting figure for an assassin than a Viking. Vikings are all about intimation, openly threatening, intimating, brawling, i.e., the polar opposite of "stealth", aren't they? I don't think I'll ever understand that design choice.
My personal favourite game is Assassin's Creed Odyssey
As an assassin's creed game I agree it isn't the best, but if you look at it as if it's a separate game, it is so good.
Greek mythology is my favourite mythology ever and since I'm a huge fan of it I absolutely loved diving into the Greek world for myself as Kassandra/Alexis and being able to experience the mythology while also following an engaging story I personally enjoyed
Odyssey doesn't get the love it deserves, Alexios was a beast! Overpowered arguably bc he was so dominant but I would say I played that AC the most times bc the storyline, gameplay and the experience was great
the thing is
people don't like it because it's not much like an assassins creed game, but if you set that aside and look at it on its own, it's entertaining and extremely fun
I don’t think ac odyssey was bad, it was actually pretty decent game, I just don’t think there was anything “assassin like” it was a good game, but it doesn’t deserve the AC title, again that’s not cause it’s bad, it’s just because it has not much to do with literal “assassin’s”
@@seaguts7496 Alot of reviewers have it rated negatively, even as a game if to ignore the theme "assassins" in it, from gameplay wise, progression and story and many things (and valhalla a much worse version of that).
The pros they note are simply the detailed inclusion of greek culture mythology and visuals/graphics, but not as a game.
@@gflvalhalla6719The biggest issue with Odyssey for me was how they completely rewrote AC lore leaving huge plot holes which caused the extremely talented Darby McDevitt to do huge amounts of patchwork in Valhalla
When you said “ac3 has a special place in my heart” I felt that spiritually. I played it so much in middle school and never been more addicted to a video game in my life. Fell in love with it. This is coming from a huge gamer that is about to turn 20 and played video games all his life
LOL about to turn 20....
Same for me and black flag too
boy you got a ways to go...
You're still young bro
Same, I beat it in 5 days during Christmas break when I was in middle school. Couldn't stop playing it
honestly, for me nothing beats black flag, i fell in love with it since it came out and no other AC game has been able to fill it's place in my heart
I just bought black flag yesterday en I already love it
I just bought it again for my ps4 to replay it again!
@@brendonnorris6831 nice, I love the game already
Its an almost perfect game. After beating it on Xbox One, PS4 and PC I bought it for the Switch
I agree completely. When I played it for the first time back in high school my favorite thing was just collecting treasure. It remains the ONLY game that I enjoyed getting collectibles in. Honestly, the story itself felt more secondary. I just had a blast sailing the ocean, stopping at every single island, and walking through jungles.
Of course the story was great, too. The song "The Parting Glass" at the end was a really, really nice touch.
I loved in Brotherhood (I believe) that you were able to use the double hidden blades as weapons and not just a tool to assassinate people. It was so fun to just stand in the middle of a big fight seemingly unarmed and deflect and counterattack with the hidden blades.
You could also counter attack in AC1
You can do that in like every single game lol
ac2 was the first one to introduce that
@@ThunderingRoar The blocking yes, but you can do counter kills in AC1.
You could steel all enemy's weapons and use them against them self. And the murder broom was the coolest weapon :D
Regardless of your own personal list, one thing I think we can all appreciate with every AC game is the attention to detail with regards to the maps/locations. A lot of people commenting here about visiting locations in Italy, and how the creators perfectly modeled it in the game. In Florence I walked over a famous bridge called Ponte Vecchio, and my goodness did they nail that on the head. But that’s a very famous location, of course they’ll get that. Surely they wont get some obscure ancient location in a forgotten city, right? Wrong. I was in Greece on Mykonos, but there’s an island a quick ferry ride away called Delos. On this island is a forgotten ancient city that’s only ruins today. Within those ruins are these famous lion statues called the Terrace of lions. They used to stand next to a lake that’s since been drained. Both the city and the statues are much less well known pieces of Greek history compared to the Parthenon or Library of Alexandria etc. So one day when I was playing Odyssey I recalled that trip to Greece and went to the island in the game, which they created with the city, but then to my complete amazement, they not only had on the lion statues there, but they has the correct number of them and placed exactly where they were in relationship to the ancient lake, and in the exact spot as they were on the real island. 🤯🤯🤯 they didnt even make it a big deal like they were the showcase of the island. They were just a standard decoration. If i hadnt seen the statues in real life, I would have never known the game ones were based off of real history. Amazing.
Imagine being a greek and play this game... i was in love with it man
I really like how you've clearly explained the reasons why you yourself ranked these games the way you did. You also gain credibility by explaining at the beginning that you weren't ranking the genre-busting offshoots, as well as by letting us viewers know your preferences up front. My choices didn't always line up with yours, but I have nothing but respect for that.
Wow thank you for the kind comments!! Very happy you enjoyed :)
@@jayveeeee Really enjoyed. Just as an example, your #1 is my #10 or so, but you had extremely good reasons for explaining your choice and I found myself agreeing with essentially all of your points.
More or less I agreed with your list, especially because of the explanations like with highlights of AC3(I was also in high school when it dropped) and everything about it was fascinating to me, Connor’s complex choices, the determination etc
@@jayveeeee My List is as follows
1. AC Black Flag
2. AC origins
3. AC 2
4. AC Unity
5. AC Brotherhood
6. AC Syndicate
7. AC Revelations
8. AC 3
9. AC 1
10. AC Valhalla
11. AC Rogue
12. AC Odyssey
I got a list here too:
1. Unity
2. Revelations
3. Black Flag
4. AC3
5. AC2
6. Origins
7/8. Odyssey and Syndicate
And the first and Brotherhood are at the bottom by default. I haven’t been able to play the first and I need to continue my replay on Brotherhood for a full opinion, but basically AC 1 is at the bottom rn
I played black flag in the perfect time in my life. Old enough to know how games should be played and how stories should be told but young enough to truly hang on disbelief. A bit like when we all watched Harry Potter for the first time.
I feel that 100%
Same here bud! Hahaha i feel you 100%
The same thing happened to me with red dead
You mean when we watched LoTR for the first time..
@@clebmedia yeah absolutely. I’ll admit Harry Potter really transported me more than LOTR. I’ve watched lotr a million times more in my older days 😂
Unity is an incredible game. I played well after release and didn't get any bugs so my experience wasn't tainted. I had such a blast playing this game. Arno is a "fine" protagonist, but the relationship with Elise is very intriguing and kept me invested in the plot. The gameplay felt so clean compared to Black Flag. Best parkour and assassination missions in the series. And PARIS. Paris is an absolutely amazing setting, it felt so alive. Glad to see it get some love. Still, I wouldn't put it over AC2 or Origins.
My personal favorite is Black Flag. When you can randomly sing sea shanties, and remember great pirate threats like "I'll cut off your lips and feed them to ya." Or" I'll use your flesh for chum and your bones for char!" It's more memorable than most of the stories of of the series.
Hey bro I've never played any of them which one should i play first to get involved with the games, it doesn't have to be in order
@@Zeezonefans To be very honest, after playing most of them, if you want to get into the newer ones just start with Origins. The story is great, with over 100 hours in game play. You can finish the story in about 80+. And you’ll see how it all started. Odyssey and Valhalla has the most brutal combat. But the story in Origins surpasses the other two in my opinion. Luckily Origins, odyssey , and Valhalla are on the game pass if you’re on Xbox.
For me the whole Ezio Trilogy is and will probably be the best ac games. The music, the story and the gameplay, all of it I liked so much.
I wish that Ubisoft brings a character back that they truly develop for more than just one game so that people can grew with them.
That should go to Bayek and Amunet strictly.
Rate thid comment 100%
I was thinking exactly the same, I would probably rank ACII as 1st and Revelations as 2nd. I I left Brotherhood as 3rd mostly because it is too similar to ACII (I call it the 2.1 :D ). But they are a perfect trilogy, even though I'd say Unity and Syndicate perfected the gameplay.
Sure as long as it's not Eivor
@@memecliparchives2254 nah
The ezio trilogy is genuinely peak storytelling. EVERYTHING in those games is absolutely amazing. I mean Ezios family literally became the theme for assassin's creed and that's for good reason. But just a story about a man who loses everything he has in the name of an order just to find out that the message he received was for someone else. That he was a middle man between what was a mystery and the person who would solve it (That being Desmond) and him finally understanding that the answer was never his to find. It's tragic and he knows that yet he chooses to look forward and continue pushing to save the creed. He is one of gaming's greatest protagonists
agree these were my favorite games in the series followed by Origins and Black Flag.
I am in the middle of AC " Oddesy and I have bought the Ezio tri-oligy pack for my Playstation 4!! And can't wait to get into it!!!!!!!" Thanks for the great info about this game!! I've played origin the last game before Oddesy!!! And then I'm going to be playing the rest of these games 🎮 in a certain order!!!!? But I don't really know what one's first after Ezio's campaign 🤔!!? Any ideas 🤔
@@thomasmccown2121
AC1
AC2
Brotherhood
Revelations
AC 3
Black flag
and than I stopped to play Ac
Thanks for that Nolan North .
It’s peak storytelling if you’re ok with average mediocrity
Odyssey and Black Flag sit at the top of my list, both for their characters and plots.
Really Appreciate the love you provided unity. Sure it was buggy but is now quite playable. Also the story was top notch and I hope Arno makes an appearance in the future. Not a tow the line type protagonist was an assassin in Spirit.
AC3 will always hold a special place in my heart because I was actually learning about the American Revolution in school at the time, and it unironically helped me memorize important moments in the war.
we’re really out here living the same lives fr 😂. i did the same shit bro. my history teacher loved those games because of how much it would depict and show from old battles and wars.
Dude same here my old 5th grade teacher and I would have long talks about figures and battles I saw in the game it definitely helped me pick my current major, good times
same!!!
Yeah... Sure, now imagine the rest of the world who doesn't care about usa history. It falls flat in comparison to the Italy setting and "climbebility"
@@CYB3R2KIt falls flat to that irrelevant comment you made.
weirdly i loved odyssey. i have a massive love for greek mythology which probably made me like it more but i just found the game so beautiful and the exploration system was fun. only downfall to me was a lot of missions were extremely repetitive.
Exactly.
Same
I loved it but kinda just had to tell myself it’s not assassins creed, but damn it’s a good game
@@zaniantheron5885 well Black Flag is pirate game not 'true' ac and still got praise, so i don't understand hate around odyssey bcs its not enough Assassin's Creed, i enjoyed every minute of it and thats why the games are made in the end.
omfg it’s lewis buchan !
So far I think I have liked Syndicate the most. Ziplining around London was a blast and I really liked a lot of the side characters. The Twins never bothered me ether. They felt like two young people who were born into the assassin life style so naturally they might not be the best or even take it all as seriously as others since its something they are just familiar with. But then they get to grow and see that what they are doing actually matters and has impact. The side but were we get to travel to world war 2 was also great and makes me want a game completely in that setting as we get to kill templar nazis with Winston Churchill.
Syndicate combat system fun asff
Evie Frye was goated.
I love syndicate. I think my favorite is either brotherhood or syndicate. Syndicate did things so well. It actually had a stealth system, smooth parkour in which a zip line opened up so many different possibilities, decent combat that is still fun (the cane sword is the best), has classic ac tools like poison dart, smoke bombs, throwing knife, hand gun. + it has the ability to kidnap enemies, carriages with fun carriage combat, a good map, 2 solid main characters. It checks so many boxes, same with brotherhood, that they are top 1-5 in the series.
I finished syndicate just now, truly one of the best Assassin's creed game
Agreed. They’re my favourite protagonists so far (I’ve played every game up to Syndicate), along with my favourite antagonist (with Haytham a very close second). Jacob can be a bit much, but I like the sarcastic tone tbh. There’s no need to be so boring and serious all the time, as much as I also loved that about Conner. The only problem I have with Syndicate is the free running/parkour system. Why they didn’t just keep the same one from Unity shocks me. Also, free running around London is just difficult without using the rope launcher constantly, which was frustrating. Although, I did enjoy using the rope launcher in missions. I also enjoyed the fast-paced, unrealistic combat. I do miss the AC3 combat animations still, tho.
Just played 1,2 brotherhood and rev. I honestly forgot how good brotherhood was, the assasin training and property buying was so fun but to see a main character grow over a trilogy in such a way was a page many writers should look at. Just wow. Best trilogy ever, right next to mass effect(excluding ending)
Funny you mention Ezio being overpowered in Brotherhood, I think somewhere near the start of the game there are infinite basic enemies that attack you on a bridge, and I spent ages just killing them all creating a massive pile of bodies and I've never felt more badass in a game before.
AC1 has multiple spots with infinitely respawning enemies aswell. Felt so amazing to not see the bodies despawn, I remember being blown away by that as a kid.
@@TheItalianoAssassino Absolutely, old games actually knew what fun was...
I did that exact same thing it felt so amazing.
This reminds me of AC4, where the Assassins are fighting Spanish soldiers on the beach and if you don’t go onto their ship, they keep respawning and you can just commit a massacre
@@farhaanahmed8924 Hahaha yes I remember that working too! I love infinite spawns in games. It's a true test of skill and survival.
Bayek has to be one of my favorite protagonists. He is brutal yet incredibly kind and understanding. It's a personality type not often explored.
I fully agree, bayek had moments where he's fuming with rage and anger to get revenge and then moments where he laughs and giggles smiles. And to top it off has some heart-wrenching cutscences where you really feel the pain he goes through.
@@beaniest9210 His deep personality, which was explored well..his sense of justice as a Medjay and his quest for vengeance for his deceased son, his complicated relationship with Aya/Amunet, how losing a child breaks a bond..ideological differences failing to repair the bond etc..the game was incredible. I did not feel that in Odyssey, even less so in Valhalla.
Gerelt or rivia
@@jamieammar6131 agree 100%
I agree Bayek’s personality is so compelling his moments of anger are so heart wrenching aswell as it’s still an assasins screed game
I am one year late but this AC Tier List in my opinion is the best one out there. Not because your Top 3 Games are mine top 3 too but also because of the justice you brought to AC Unity. I believe it is criminally underated and probably the best ac experience out there alongside ac 2, brotherhood & Black Flag. I just subscribed to your channel. Top video quality, keep it up!
Awesome list in a great order. I don't think I'd change anything. Loved your video on AC Unity from a couple years back too it's definitely an underappreciated game
Fucking finally. So glad to see someone enjoyed Revelations. Revelations in terms of storytelling is the peak of this franchise. It's a brilliant story with a beautiful art style, a vibrant city and a mature Ezio. I was always shocked when people used to say it sucks. From major review outlets to people I know in person, I have barely met anyone who actually acknowledged how good the game was. Thanks for giving it praise. It genuinely deserves it and more people should play it with an open mind and not blindly jump on the hate bandwagon.
I bought it on my birthday finished it within a week and returned it because I hated it. Might give it another try all these years later.
Revelations is the true AC at its best or Brotherhood. Never Unity.
I mean its GOOD but its not even close to the greatness of AC games like Brotherhood, AC2, Unity or Origins. Just because its an Ezio game its story is automatically above syndicate, odyssey, valhalla etc, but compared to the ones listed above its just a good game. It had some good new elements like the hook but it also had some bad ones like that tower defense etc which people didn't rly like for an AC game. Overall a pretty good and memorable AC game. Didn't rly hear anyone say they hated it.
Actually, only two people on Earth liked Revelations: you, and this guy. Now the rest of us are going to send some guys to your house to.... _correct you_
@@flutebasket4294 Thanks for sending your Mom over. We had a great time.
The Ezio trilogy is by far my favourite, it’s nothing short of a masterpiece. These games are how I expect an assassins creed game to feel: they’re punchy, gory and refreshingly intellectual. I love the philosophy which is explored by the game. The combat and free running styles are also fantastic too.
I also think it’s because of the Ezio trilogy that I dislike the new titles so much. The old games never compromised over the quality of the story; they were created for the fans who loved learning about templars, assassins, ancient artefacts etc. The new games, as visually stunning as they are, don’t do this. I struggle to take their characters seriously too, they are far too cartoonish and uninteresting. The best thing about Ezio (and Edward) was just how wise they became. This is perhaps something which has been lost in recent games.

Basim has the potential to be main character like ezio that can captivate the audience… All the need is parkour from unity, stealth from syndicate, a strong city setting the feels like best parts of all the best cities and to take the best parts of the combat and storytelling from what the people liked and disliked from the past and they have a base to build off as the continue forward. Hopefully Ubi keeps their promise and alternates between the big open world and the smaller old school games and nail the Japanese open world setting after mirage
Basim won't even be top 5
Mission Success! I’ve been watching a few of your videos (subbed now ofc) because the original AC games popped into my head as something I missed and wanted to play again. I only got as far as Brotherhood and dabbled for 40mins with AC 3 for the record. I have never touched the other games because of AC3.
Your review has made me want to replay these games even more and on the strength of it, I’ve already just purchased the enzio edition 😅. But now I really want to play Black Flag
I love Black Flag for its fighting System. I really like that it isn’t too complicated and it feels realistic not like the newer games where you have to hit the enemy 20 times until his life bar is down with a damage number showing with every hit.
But I like the pirate thing and having a ship and your own crew, it's felt so realistic like you're meeting real people
Honestly, speaking as someone who regards AC4 as THE BEST AC game out there (completed it 5 times now), even I think the combat system is way too simplified. IMHO, the system in AC2/ACB/ACR is better since I personally feel like I have more control, while in AC4 it is just parry, counter attack, parry, counter attack, rinse and repeat. Especially when you get the mayan armor (which makes you impervious to bullets). The fighting animations are very cool, but still the combat is very simple.
I really liked it too, felt very piratey, difficult in some parts, but also really fun. I love origins too, but the combat in it is really just, “hit, block, hit again”.
O + []
That is all i have to say.
Lets say the truth, the combat is trash. The story? I dont remember.
But i do, very vividly, talking out 30 guys with my bare hands
That was funny, but dissapointing
@@JorjIto12872 disappointing and meanwhile I was having a lot of fun and never get tired of it, the combat is actually challenging for little bit.. sometimes I died for not letting my guard down
AC: Brotherhood was my most memorable game for me. The online was so unique it really set itself apart from the other big AAA games at that time. I remember grinding the online during my winter break sometime in middle school. I'm 25 now 😭 time flies man.
RIP ACB multiplayer
The online multiplayer was actually so fun and such an interesting concept. Time really does fly lol
I remember I was an absolute beast at multiplayer, I had so many hours put into the teams match, so much freaking fun, best AC for me as well.
@Merrick73Baby ac brotherhood multierplayer acc has a playerbase and is live? I miss that game so much
Assassins Creed 3 multiplayer was easily one of the best multiplayer experiences for me.
Manhunt just felt so original and it was so much fun
Best AC ranking I've seen to date! Still can't really decide on a top 3 between Black Flag, Unity & Origins, but I loved your reviews about them
I'd love to see more AC games to put you in Templar shoes, Rouge's idea had so much potential, but it was sadly lost due to being last-gen and a bit of a side-project
I love this guy because even the worst ones on his list get respect and he acknowledges the good stuff
yes! exactly the same reason for me. everyone else just rags on about fallen potential but Jayvee celebrates what's _there._
Damn , Imagine hyping up and anticipating an AC for a year just to end up being your worst in the series ! That just Tough
That's every AC though haha the new one is almost always exciting
@@jayveeeee It's funny, because I was not excited for Valhalla at all. Even following your content and watching the interviews you did and knowing that Darby McDevitt was involved, nothing about the game interested me. So, at least it wasn't a disappointment, for me. Just a standard boring slog from this series.
@@calebmurphy9406 Agreed I was only mildly interested because I figured it'd atleast be a competent Viking game, and it in short it wasn't lol
@@calebmurphy9406 Valhalla is hella fun I don’t know what your talking about , it’s not a great ac game by any means but it is a very good game , so many missions the raid minigame the ability to literally go to asgard and play as odin , the acts are quite fun getting to raid fortresses with all your vikings
@Ezio Auditore da La La La the plot takes you to each area of the map you just explore beyond i dunno man the only negatives are j have about it are the combat is so easy and there’s barely any gear , the game is similar to the Witcher with wearing matching sets five you stat upgrades not a fan
Black Flag is my favourite game in the series. The story means so much to me. The game made me cry and it gave me so much joy. I love most Assassins Creed games but this one truly made a huge impact on my life. The Caribbean was a beautiful setting and one I always wanted to explore in a video game. I love sailing and boarding ships. Also the game was with me during a lot of really important and scary parts of my life where my life was changing and I found Black Flag to be a constant source of fun and comfort to me. When I finished the game it felt like I finished a journey with Edward and I couldn’t help but cry and feel emotional when the credits rolled. Edward felt like a character I could truly relate to he wasn’t born into the Brotherhood or a wealthy family but somehow he managed to overcome his greed and self doubt to become a wiser and more noble man who didn’t just fight for himself anymore but fought for a cause that helped people even though he wouldn’t be recorded in the history books or remembered he did it out of sure willpower and courage. We see Edward hit rock bottom but we also see him rise and become the best version of himself.
Brotherhood has a fantastic open world and it was great seeing Ezio maturing and becoming a mentor in the Assassin Brotherhood and renovate Rome. The combat was a huge improvement on previous games and the story was a lot more fun and interesting to me. Cesare was a good villain and the modern day was fantastic and I always wondered what would happen next. The visuals still look good to this day Rome is vibrant and the architecture is stunning.
Unity was the embodiment of the Assassin fantasy. The parkour the combat which was difficult and realistic the stealth adding a crouch option which may not sound like much but it improves the stealth so much. Awesome gadgets like the phantom blades berserk blades and of course the setting of Paris. It is not that buggy nowadays and I think people exaggerated the bugs a lot. The game felt like a modern version of Assassins Creed.
These are my top 3 favourite Assassins Creed games. Black Flag for its emotional significance to me and for having my favourite Assassin Edward in it. Brotherhood for its open world and side content and Unity for its parkour and stealth.
I enjoyed AC Odyssey more than I thought I would. Unfortunately, my reward for saving my entire family was a really awkward family dinner...
I absolutely LOVED AC Origins. It took me 3 years to complete (I have ADD and wanted to see every grain of sand in the map) but it was the first AC I truly enjoyed since AC3
I finished it twice in one year and I did every marker or icon on the map, how did that take you 3 whole years? XD
@@nielslehnen6076 I am considering to pick this up on the next gen console. After playing Valhalla, I am addicted! Only play the first in the beginning. I see Origins is still running on 30fps, is that a deal breaker after getting used to 60fps? thanks :)
@@nielslehnen6076 I played it off and on with other games and just the business of life. Also my ADD causes me to wander a loooooot
Origins was pretty boss. And then when he dropped his sons bird skull in the sand and the Assasin symbol came to life.. argh yes!
Another guy named zack?
Unity is so good. The outfit customization, the intense stealth missions, the beautiful map. There's just so much to love
fr
Unity its prob my favorite. Idk what “bugs” everyone talks about I never experienced anything game breaking other than glitching dead bodies.
@@MrCasey609 same, all the AC games have bugs like that here and there . I think critics just hated to see the franchise making good games again
@@MrCasey609 the game at launch was trash, they patched a lot of it but that game was way worse in terms of glitches, one youtube search and u know
The stories shit though
Great list with bold, daring choices overall. I know it's a cliché, but I'd put ac2 in the place of brotherhood. It's done so much for the series overall and is just iconic.
Unity was what got me into the series, as soon as I saw all the bad reviews, I was very surprised, I have barely ever had bugs happen to me. Unity is criminally underrated.
i think i give Ac Unity a try after i finish ac Brotherhood
AC3 and Unity hold a special place in my heart. Absolutely loved both of those games man, so fun and felt like I knew the characters
Honestly those two are probably my favorite assassin's creed games period. Arno and Connor were some of the most interesting protagonists in the series and both did things that make them stand out.
@@jimmymurphy898 Ezio is the real MVP
Unity was my first ac game and still my favorite, Arno as a character holds so much nostalgia to me
Those both characters gives the vibes of Batman, where ithey makes you feels like "this is me af"
i dont understand how this bastard did not put these two at the top. the new ones suck ass. they are adventure games. but no t assassin games.
I've a real soft spot for Rogue (shay's focking appalling O-Irish accent aside). Love the history and the world. How they combined the ohio/hudson/potomac river valley networks, the harsh beauty of the north atlantic and how they weaved in the history of the 7 years war. Delish!
After valhalla, we've had 3 of the same style AC games. Time for a switch up. Bring on the new!
Rogue was such a great game as well
They will not do a switchup.
They tend to stick with a formula until the sales stard dropping.
With the last three game the numbers are an upward curve.
Expect NFT farming for your XP Boosts and Gacha currency 🤣👏👏👏
@@pepeedge5601 There is a switchup. Next AC game gonna be MMO apparently. Heard it on gameranx.
@@pepeedge5601 Indeed, which is sad to see because the dream of a new assassins creed that will live up to the expectations brotherhood and Ac 2 set never will happen. And as someone else said, they are planing to release one final assassins creed game open world RPG in style that of gta 5 I guess which will, In my opinion, completely destroy the series :(
I am in a similar situation as you for origins and valhalla as you are for ac3. When I was studying Egypt in highschool, I played origins, and when I was studying vikings in highschool, I played valhalla. Even though these two games are less "assassin" games, I think I enjoyed them more for how good they were as just open-world RPGs.
But the open world was sooooo boring. Travel was slow, making fast traveling the only option. Naval combat was laughably bad and the lack of good sea shanty music made me go away from traveling via sea. Just too big and Nothing really interesting to fill it out (except horrible quests that make you gather a million things)
Kassandra will always be so special because at first I thought she was just plain looking but the more I played the game the more I fell in love with her to the way she looks to her personality and was my first ac game that I played ans dedicated a lot of time to it really is just unlike anything else at when I first heard of it I was so ignorant because I didn’t think I’d be into the time period but by god was it an adventure that’s stuck with me through many heartbreaks irl
My absolute favourite game of the AC series has to be AC2. I just adore the character, the storytelling, the setting and especially the soundtrack! They all work together really well to create a really great game and made me feel something and watching Ezio grow up is so incredible. Also just reflecting on the beginning of the game where Ezio is carefree and naive with his family vs the mature but still charming person he ends on makes me tear up a bit
I just started playing a.c 2 again. I love it.
AC 2 is the best game in the series.
i´m never not gonna be bawling my eyes out when his family is betrayed
The replay value is trash though. Black Flag is a game that you can replay even today and have fun. Imo, Ubisoft should remake the games like CAPCOM have been doing with there Resident Evil series.
@@johnnypr-nyc8851 exactly you can't replay it now, so you're reading it nostalgically, not based on recent gameplay, if you do play through all the ac games today.... you'll quickly realize, AC Unity is the overall best AC game right now
Origins is so horribly underrated. It’s so immersive, the weapon system, the epic quests, story, cinematogrophy. And as a man that enjoys grindy games. This game was just perfect and amazing as an origin story. And one where it actually makes sense for the gameplay to not be «assasiny»because he didn’t become a assassin until the end. You get to see the journey of the creed being created
Origins is the very first AC game i played and makes me wanna get every games in the series :) the visual is insane :D
Despite it being trivial, my one major issue with Origins was how small the selection of outfits were-relative to the map size.
Origins is the beginning of the end for the series to me. For me, it’s not really an assassins creed game anymore from that point forward. Obviously the formula change worked for them and a lot more people love the RPG elements than hate them, like me.
I liked origins but the gameplay doesn't feel like an assassins creed, but still a good game
I hated Origins. For me it felt like the classic new „map over story“. The story and especially all side quest (that flooded the else empty map) were so horribly repetitive.. It was just running from one arrow in the map to the next one. I miss the story based games as ac 2
I’m just playing through the first one for the first time (want to play them all chronologically). I’m 5 assasinations in and while I think it’s great overall, I do feel it’s pretty repetitive already. But I’m really hyped to get to know the whole series!
After Odyssey… Valhalla honestly was a very VERY tall glass of cool clear thirst quenching water… yeah it’s not as good as Black Flag but it was a decent game…
Yeah I played valhallah its very good people overlook this game they wanted an game with actual assassin because they were so fed up with odeyseies and orgins.If you look past it its a game better than both ubisoft cant tell a story but valhallah has some great combat and decent parkour
I would definitely put AC III higher on the list - we have 3 incredibly interesting modern day missions, one of the best music in the series and we still have Desmond.
Yeah, I love ACIII and to be honest I think the Desmond games are almost impossible to beat. They are just too damn good.
Its with ac ll my favourite game of the series
Love ac 3, it’s my favorite game. I also did cry when Achilles died. It was a very sad time for me. :( still makes me sad even to this day.
Sadly ac lll had the worst character design (connor)

To be honest I cry every time I play AC Revelations and arrive at the end in the libraby. That scene hits me really hard and as I grow older it has even more meaning about life itself. Revelítion is one of my favorite games of all time.
This is a unique list. Good job.
It’s been so many years now, it’s hard to remember them all…but Brotherhood, Black Flag, and Origins definitely grabbed my attention the most. I really did like the “hunt down the Templars” conspiracy rings in the new ones, those were always fun to focus on.
For the assassin aspect, no other game besides Unity made me feel more of a true assassin. If the story was given more thought (everyone says this ik) it seriously could have been the best game in the franchise, i still rank it in my top 3 tho
Assassins Creed 1 is honestly the definitive experience if you want to feel like an assassin, while Unity certainly is far better than people make it out to be (I still remember the bitch fits people threw about the glitches). AC1 did so much right though, the storyline is probably one of the more memorable ones and if you went back to play it I think you would agree. It gives you a good reason and good understanding of your Assassination targets and WHY you must assassinate them. You actually do Assassin things like tailing, pickpocketing, eavesdropping, and Interrogation. For as good as I think AC2 is, I can only remember like 2 assassinations in that entire game because only one I actually got to know well before killing while the other is just because the entire mission is so good that the target could have been anyone and I would remember it. In the case of Unity I feel it got back to some of the more stealthy aspects of the original game, but the assassinations in it also didn't give me the memorability of 1.
@@sadscientisthououinkyouma1867 That is very true and i love that game, but the 2007 engine limits the game for me after becoming so used to newer games and i only find this problem with ac games lol. I think i was mostly referring to the simple things like stealth in the game with multiple ways to approach a target + the beautiful scenery of the game, and in a game with the mechanics of unity just make is so damn satisfying. Unity’s story isn’t as bad as everyone says and i really enjoy it but i can say ac 1 is probably better overall. But mechanics and graphics in a game really do matter when it comes to ac games where in other games a story can make you ignore it and is probably why i prefer unity over other ac games for the most part.
Especially if it had constant updates to bring In more and more missions and outfits I loved it also multi-player could've kept having updates new missions and such
Unity is the best even the graphics look better than the newer games somehow
The stealth in Unity is unmatched! I really enjoyed sneaking around to avoid combat lol combat was very difficult id always get shot if I didn't do missions stealthily
As someone who has never played any of the AC games EXCEPT odyssey, I can say that I enjoyed that game SO much. I guess the fact that I wasn’t expecting it to fit with something else meant that I was able to enjoy it for what it was. That I did. It’s one of my favorite rpgs.
Same man, Odyssey is also the only AC game I have played, so I didn't have any expectations for what it should be. I like the game a lot, but I think some of the controls are a little wanky and I am not the biggest fan of all the boat activities, I never liked the boat battles etc
You guys really need to play origins, the protagonist is much more likeable
@@Bane520 Yea, I have been thinking about it. But right now I am playing The Witcher 3 again, that is my absolute favorite game, it's so good
I've played rogue and origins and odyssey and odyssey was my favourite one hell it's my favourite single player game it's so fun and full of things to do
Haha! Odyssey is definitely not an AC experience. But it can be entertaining in it's own right
Haha just watched this and commented on another video that I lost track of you and your vids. I agree with so many of your takes. For me Unity, Ac3 and brotherhood were my top. I used to and still just get in Unity and just move around the city. Great video brother!!!!
oh thanks man!!!!! really happy you found some common takes :)
I'm currently playing Odyssey right know, it's the first AC game I play. So far enjoying it very much.
It's like shadow of war but with a beautiful world.
I don't know what characteristic constitute an AC game, but I liking Odyssey enough simply as an open world action adventure game.
Played ODYSSEY 3000 hours...valhalla sooooo boooooring....
I feel like my biggest problems with the newer AC’s (like Valhalla) is the complexity of the fighting. I’m all for a game that makes you work to be good at it, but for me what made me fall in love with these games early on was the simplicity of the combat (especially with high profile enemies). It allowed me to take in the impact that fight has in the story and made me feel like an assassin. The way I see it is that if you’re a good assassin, your kills are almost always going to be quick and unexpected by your target. Being a Viking is cool, but I don’t buy into the assassin narrative and feel like it belongs in a different game universe
I think that's been my biggest issues with the new AC games too. They're good games, they just shouldn't have the Assassin's Creed title
It's sad that I'd be MORE willing to buy them if they weren't in the AC series
Yuh I agree the only one I really got into was Origins but I still prefer the older games compared to it Valhalla and Odyssey are not that good IMO (compared to other assassins creed games) Ac 1 to 4 are some of the best ac games I have played
I feel like the rpg elements mess up the game a bit.
"complexity of the fighting"? It's literally press *attack button* to win
AC Origins, Odyssey ,and Valhalla focuses more on ISU lore. By the end of AC Valhalla if you reach to the king study room, you will find a detail explanation of the modern templar.
Glad you rated Unity so high. I think it's fantastic. Most people have jaded views of the game because most people got heavily burnt by the launch of the game. But boy is it ever a great game now. I played it well after it was mostly fixed so I never had the bad glitches. I think if it had launched in a different state it'd be one of the best game of the series for most people.
The story and characters were just insufferable.
@@memecliparchives2254 totally agreed. The narrative was so frustrating. It's like they did everything they could to make an Ezio who had no idea what he was doing too.
@@jasonashley9853 I agree. I hate hearing these people say that its really underrated and one of the best. It's decent. And that's it. The amount of people saying it's underrated honestly makes it ovverated.
@@Basisreallycool That's what I'm being saying. Have they forgotten how they hated Bishop? How no French character in Unity in a French game set in FRANCE aren't authentically French? And many other things.
Ezio trilogy is still peak.
@@memecliparchives2254 id say ac1 is peak
I've enjoyed every one of them in their own way. Unity needed to bake a while and get a few multi-gig updates including the next gen 60 fps update. I'm playing Valhalla now and really enjoying it. Valhalla also needed some bake-in time but a lot of folks are now starting to find its uniqueness.
I played pretty much all of them except rogue and I still love the Ezio trilogy but from a purely enjoyment standpoint I love Odyssey and Origins as well. I think if we had the Ezio games in the format of Odyssey/Origins that would’ve been peak for me.
I have to write this comment, even though I never usually comment on anything.
Your choice of putting Brotherhood at the top is something I completely agree with.
I remember, as a kid, playing it through with my dad, who is a historian specialising in renaissance, sitting beside me. He would tell me small stories etc. about the monuments and the structure of society at the time, while providing lore for both the templars and the original hashashins.
Going on a trip to Rome in real life the following year cemented this as my all time favourite. The attention to detail in the game meant that I could - in a quite surprising way - find my way around Rome, a city I'd never visited in real life before, without using a map. Just remembering the locations from the game.
Nostalgia, attention to detail, the music, the characters, the setting, the agenda. Everything about Brotherhood - to me - is exactly what I think AC is. The perfect incarnation of the vision.
Getting goosebumps reading this. To me brotherhood and ac2 are propably my favorite games just because they were so captivating to me back then. Especially brotherhood. I played it all the times. The way you experienced brotherhood is just next level. I had a somewhat similar experience with me going to Florence a few years later after playing ac2 and the day I returned I just wanted to boot up ac2 again to check for the street where I had my most amazing pizza ever :D
I agree with him so much in that the biggest problems with the newer games stem from focusing too much on the time period they take place in (Vikings, Spartans...) and not enough focus on how they tie into the Assassins. I feel like Kassandra and Eivor were great warriors, but they didn't feel enough like Assassins. I feel like both games would be much better if they were just RPG games about a Greek Warrior and a Viking respectively rather than them being AC games. I personally like my assassins to understand exactly what they are fighting for and the history of the orders rather than just killing people because they met a character in the game that told them it would be the right thing to do.
But really though nobody cares about the templar and especially Abstergo crap anymore.......
To be fair, they _weren’t_ assassins yet. Not really. They were proto-Assassin’s.
@@LuffyxNamiisathing I mean I care, I want a more fleshed out templar story, Rouge did an ok job at it, but I, and probably many others, want an entire game about Haytham, not just a prologue in ac3
@@LuffyxNamiisathing I personally loved that part of AC's story(present day, Templars). if you just want to kill the enemies with a sword, then just go play other games. The story of AC and other things in it like parkour or hood or blades have been ruined enough with the new installments, Don't make it worse.
What made Valhalla feel so meaningless to me is Eivor ultimately helped create the Templars by allowing Edward to live and form the from the ashes of the Order. But then it ends with with DLC stories going no where. Like we should see Edward come back as King, destroying everything we did within all those hours of gameplay.
Valhalla and Odyssey also did much more for the Isu. Which I really don’t care about. Having Loki in the modern time, that they were the mythical people we’ve known about. Just made both of these games empty to me.
I don't think people realize how much of a breakthrough the first Assassins Creed was. It was literally Prince of Persia but with an open world, where you can blend with people and hide in plain sight with an amazing parkour system which was unheard of at the time.
Glad you took the time to upload this. I honestly agree with every opinion you had. I personally hold Brotherhood, Revelations, and Black Flag at the top for just story written immersion and combat flow alone. I enjoyed Untiy but not enough to reflect any big memorable conflicts. I practically ran through it.
Something I do miss and was really hoping that they would of brought back multiplayer for the new Mirage. Between revelations and brotherhood multiplayer there had no other gameplay objective like it.
AC 3 was my very first AC. I remember that my family and i went sledding. And i really wanted that game but it was already late and the store was closing. I talked to my brother in law and we were speeding to the store. We made it in time. I was 12. Good times
Same AC3 was my first too
@@MasterChief_0970 me too 😌
Ac 4 was my first and I have a real soft spot for it, also it was a great game.
AC2 was my first, but my some how I connected with AC3 and the story the most as well as the timing with learning about history. Don’t get me wrong, I love me some ezio plotline, but after getting used to AC3’s new graphics is as all the way I’m
First assassin’s creed was mine. It was right before Christmas! Ac 2 had just come out and I asked for it for Christmas! Well I was old enough to understand gaming and stories! But young enough for my mind to take it all in! My mom took us to a Christmas concert behind our home at a local church! Well boy didn’t my mind run wild!! I swore the templars where coming to kill me!! My mom finally gave me the keys and I walked home (more like ran) and hope back on the ole PS3 to finish ac hahahahahah
Brotherhood was my first ever AC, best game to start off to. Made me fall in love with the franchise
Indeed, that defined what AC should be, not Unity
@@memecliparchives2254 Obviously was Brotherhood a defining game, i mean Unity was the 7th Game in the series, it just for me perfects the Assassin Fantasy, especially in terms of parkour. Brotherhoods is a close second in terms of parkour.
Dude same. I think I'm going to replay it and Revelations.. best era of AC for sure.
my is named animus
@@thehiddenone2875 When you have an insufferable simp as a protagonist that only does everything in the story to put it between Elise's legs, thats where the problem lies. And no amount of game patches can fix that.
When you shown the first place, I got goosebumps. Nice choice👍That's the only one I still have it in AC games.
Valhalla was made for me. I always loved the Vikings & Valhalla. The Norway vibe just did it for me.
Rogue is definitely underrated. The only thing I didn't like was how short it was. Of course it's no where near perfect but it's honestly one of my favorites
Yeah man Rogue was soo good. I completed the game two times, that's how much I liked it
@@FakteInteresante same I'm downloading it in 2022 that's how much I like it
@@fjfhfbfjdndnfnfjjx6975 man I am thinking to do the same lol
@@FakteInteresante omg holy shit. I also downloaded on my console in 2022! Underrated asf
@@GentlemanSkelli I'm assuming you got the Remastered Edition?
Yep totally agree with this entire list .... Especially putting Unity so high on the list, I completely agree with this... Unity felt like the last true AC game and playing as Arno actually felt like playing as an actual Assassin I hope ubisoft notices this sudden explosion of love this game is getting lately and hopefully they remaster it or remake it and fix those horrible bugs it used to have
Definitely! I always make post saying the same, if we all only knew Unity was apparently the last AC game we'd ever get, maybe we could've done something.
It doesn't even need a remaster really. I'm playing it again now, you wouldn't believe that it came out like 6 years ago, it looks amazing, even better than the most recent ones. Yeah it's still a bit buggy in places, especially the combat, it just needs some love from the devs and a few patches.
Only problem with Unity is the "bland" story and character development. If they only did it right, it can go #1 or #2 on my list easily next to Blackflag, Ezio Trilogy and Origins. Unity's stealth, gameplay, missions, and graphics are rock solid. Probably the best of the franchise.
@@madartzgraphics2019 I feel the bland story and character development is only a conduit for the player to project themselves onto the story and actually feel like they are the assassin, although it could have definitely been done better
@@HappyBabbyProduction 8 years this years. It came out in 2014 and yet there is still recent triple A games that look less beautiful than ACU
I was obsessed with brotherhood and it's multiplayer. The multiplayer was so good, I got revelations and I didn't even play the main game, just the multiplayer. Those were the last games in the series I played. I came here to see what his thoughts are on the more modern games BC I have origins and Valhalla. I wanted to know which I should play... But now you got me thinking about finally playing revelations and black flag.
U havnt plyd black flag.. sad🤦♂️🤦♂️😥
I am a female and I am always looking for any games that I can play as such. I am not a huge fighting fan but I was told about Odyssey and I love it mainly because there is no rush to advance, there is virtually unlimited options, the historical scenery is wonderful and for me, this is my newest favorite game just ahead of Red Dead Online. Just my opinion. 🤷♀️🇺🇸👍
me personally, i think black flag is the best assassin's creed game mainly because of the pirate thing. But is odyssey really that good? i've only seen clips where odyssey doesn't really sold me (Assasination sometimes doesn't kill a person) because of the rpg-like system. But at the same time, i love rpg's (witcher 3 is my favourite game). I know this is your favourite game and i know you're gonna recommend me this game anyway, but can you point out the things you love about this game?
@@shiftboey There is still lots of killing if that is your thing but for me, I love the numerous quests and multiple people that you meet and it is quite an excellent story line.
@@friendlyfemme2313 Well thanks, I might play it someday. I hope i get the same impression as you do
I'm so glad to find someone who appreciates revelations. The story implications of that title gave me so many goosebumps. Also, as a teenager who was already **really** tired of only playing as teen/young adult in games, I just loved being able to see a story told through the perception of a much older main character. I have always enjoyed talking to my grandparents when I was a kid. They were not as flamboyant as younger people in my family, but I've always been impressed by how much respect they were able to command while still being calm and kind. It was humbling. Since their passing I can't help but look for that same quiet strength in fictional characters sometimes.
Revelations for me was pointless.
@@aryavart296 revelations for me was my favorite game :´)
It has the beat narrative of the franchise.
The story was useless, the gameplay was really good, picked it up a week again a week ago, couldn't stop playing....2nd best AC game after unity right now
Agreed. Revelations was awesome. This game made Ezio my favorite assassin
I really like Ac3, black flag, and rogue’s timeline, it was put together so well chronologically
Rogue also is connected to Unity due to the fact that Shay kills Arno's father at the end of Rogue/beggining of Unity
This has to be said louder man , first having the latest timeline, followed by the oldest , connecting the two via rogue and creating a ground for next one
The timeline is alright, but the story and characters? Eww
Really? The timeline of the releases was chronologically inaccurate and confusing as hell. AC3 was the last to happen but the first to be released. Go back and play them in historical order - Flag, then Rogue, then AC3 - you may enjoy them even more
@@mathewkirk1748 but then the Haytham twist in AC3 wouldn't work.
this is funny bc origins and odyssey are personally my favorite games of all time
My top would be:
18- ACIII Liberation:I played this shit like a zombie, good ideas but it felt like a chore. I would't made my worse enemy play it.
17- Assassin's Creed: It was a chore to play also, too much repetitive but i give it a pass since is the first in the franchise, Altair is a great character and the Abstergo plot was such a great mystery back in the day.
16- Altair's Chronicles: Nothing too special, just a simple game that incorporates touch mechanics for puzzles. It was released for DS and Iphone, but even so, it's always good to see more of Altair.
15- Chronicles Trilogy: China is kinda meh but it's nice to see what happened to Shao Jun after Embers. Also that tutorial with old man Ezio was really nice fan-service.
India had Arbaaz-Mir which really stuck with me, and Russia was nice to finally play as Nikolai Orelov. It was nothing special, just some side stories with the precursor box as a macguffin.
14- AC2 Discovery: Way better than any Chronicles game. It's fast-passed, tells a good story to fill blanks in AC2 insane time jumps and it's just a fun game. Nothing more than another side-scroller from DS.
13- Bloodlines: Now THAT'S how you make a dumbed down version of AC for a portable. The gameplay is almost exactly like the console game(with exception of the right analog) and it surely knew it's limitations. The story is canon since it follows up the first game and continues in Revelations, so this game is kinda important to understand Altair's story.
12- Odyssey: I hated it when it launched, waited years to play it so i could change my opinion, and i still hate it. Not that i enjoyed some parts of it, Kassandra is a good protagonist and the gameplay loop is somewhat enjoyable.
But i kept asking ''why in god's name i'm playing this?'' because everybody knows and it's true, Odyssey is a mediocre game at best, but never an Assassin's Creed game.
11- Valhalla: At least they tried. I love vikings and norse mitology but it just went to a point it can't go back and erase whatever shit they been doing these past years. The choice options have no point being there since you know, Layla is RELIEVING Eivor's live, so things AREADY HAPPENED.
Because of that, Ubisoft three years later decide ''oh, and female Eivor is canon''. It has good plot points to the franchise but i prefer playing old games instead of it. But it's still better then fucking Odyssey.
10- Syndicate: That's where the downfall truly started(excluding Unity's bad launch), the Frye twins weren't close to interesting, the combat is horrible with those cartoon animations, almost as bad as Oddysey, and the rope launcher removes any reason to climb.
But i do like the aesthetics, Victorian London is a great and beautiful setting, and Jack The Ripper DLC was really good. Also the WW1 segments are the most memorable thing of the game.
9 - Rogue: Really underrated and people give too much shit. Yes it's really short and nobody would even think of buying it instead of Unity the day it launched, but it's well worth it. The gameplay is more refined Black Flag, not much side activities but the story sells it.
Shay is a character you sympathize with him and his actions, the new vision of the hole conflict is fresh and something we needed at the time. Plus there's younger Achilles, the best antagonist in the series Haytham and an satisfying end to the Kenway Saga.
8- Freedom Cry: It's more of ACIV so we all know it's good. Adewale is a fucking badass and seeing the hole precursor box mcguffin is an easy but good plot. At least it had a big payoff in Rogue.
7- Origins: We all know it's the best of the RPG saga, Bayek and Aya are amazing characters with so much importance to the lore and the gameplay still feels like AC. The only one that makes sense to not have the brotherhood, that final scene of them creating the Creed with Ezio's Family playing makes it the second best ending of the series.
6- Black Flag: Edward is barely an Assassin, but out of the ''non-Assassin'' protagonist, he's the best one. And we all know why, he is sarcastic and cracks jokes, but he's serious when it's needed, just like Ezio.
The naval gameplay is addicting, the combat could've used more variation like in 3 and i never liked the colorful blue aesthetic but i get it. Also it has the third best ending of all games, Edward's arc is so good i cry every time i finish it.
5- Brotherhood: I love this game, but not as much as some people do, simply because of the ending. It's so rushed to keep up with the historical events of the Borgia that feels like they didn't planned that much of the story.
The gameplay is good as any Ezio game, the art direction is beautiful and every character is well written, from La Volpe to Macchiavelli, to every Borgia target. What this game shines are really the side content: The brotherhood system, Da Vinci machines missions, the cult of Romulus and of course the repressed Cristina memories.
4 -ACII: I'm surprised how much it holds up till this day. So much side content, Ezio's revenge story and the plot twists, the refined gameplay, everything holds up.
Controlling Ezio from a baby to a teen, seeying him reach his 40s, his voice deepening in the game, all the characters that teached him, damn that's a feeling you get only once.
3- Unity: Underrated love story(i still think Ezio/Cristina and Bayek/Aya are better). The parkour we all know is the best one till date of all games with this system, the combat is easy to learn/hard to master and the graphics are simply beautiful.
Dead Kings DLC is probably the best DLC of the series and i overral i feel bad about people that didn't played this game later, it's truly a masterpiece.
2- Revelations: My favorite from Ezio Trilogy. Mentor Ezio might be the best character of the series, the way it develops of how much he's tired but still going for answers is to me the peak of Assassin's Creed.
Also, we had closure for Altair, the most important character on the series, and that ending is the best one in the hole series.
I've never knew how much i needed to hear ''Requiescat in pace, Altair'' untill i did, and the big ''revelation'' of those who came before and that the world will end is incredible. It was a nice ending to Altair and Ezio, but also a great opening to my favorite game in the franchise.
1- ACIII: This game is so deep in mechanics. Every assassin is unique in personality, the crafting system is confusing at the start but a great income, PegLeg missions are incredible cinematic missions, Homestead missions is as deep as the main story and gives depth to Connor, something that people that only played the main campaign doesn't even imagine.
The combat has so much weapons and animations, the tree parkour is the best of all games, and the story, oh boy the story. Haytham's sequecenses are essential to the hole plot and to start the main theme of the Kenway saga, that there's no actual good or bad side of the conflict.
Connor is my favorite both visually since he's a fucking tank with a hood and his story is probably the most tragic, so makes sense for him to be so focused on his blind revenge while being more more carefree in the Homestead questline.
Also Desmond in this game, his interactions with his father, his grief for Lucy, the knowledge he got from Altair, Ezio and the Kenways finally makes him from ''just an avatar that the player controls and for the story to be explained to him/the player'' to a fully developed character. Also THE MODERN MISSIONS, one of them actually being in my country Brazil, they're so good. Truly an 8/10 underrated game that nowadays with Odyssey existing.
Unity was fantastic - the improvements to the parkour, graphics, animations etc. were truly a breath of fresh air. This game is what Assassins Creed should have been with modern technology behind it. If they continued down this path today's games would have brought the game back to its roots which made it critically acclaimed in the first place.
They should've continued Unity's path. AC would've been in a very better place if they had continued Unity.
Imo unity is the best AC 🤷🏻♂️
It is definitely my favorite assassin assassins creed. Although the PC version is still really bad bug wise. I just think that formula was fucked after syndicate.
@@unknownvoid2321 I know right the story line is so perfect, I mean sequence twelve or the last sequence, put me into tears, when Elise died, and then were also the dead kings mission which were so fun and awesome, I would definitely rank ACU no. 1
the only downside was that the story had some terrible writing but other than that it was an incredible game
I like Bayek because he doesn't quite feel like the the masterful assassin of the other games because he isn't one. He is first and foremost a warrior, and they capture that through really well done gameplay. However, they do not completely butcher the other stealth aspects of the franchise. It was a phenomenal experience
True. I feel like out of all the assassins, in terms of ENVIRONMENT Bayek didn't give a shit. He didn't forge some grandiose 'remake the world' vision; he simply wanted revenge. Pure and direct. Plus the cinematic trailer for Origins was fuckin fire
I went in not expecting anything and then Bayek and Aya became some of my favourites in the franchise
@@thepandoricaoffandomsbacku7349 What was more impressive about that game was how all the side quests had pretty good stories and dialogues. I legit expected to hate Origins, but It's one of my fav AC games now.
“Does not butcher stealth mechanics” dude you can’t even stealth kill all enemies because of stupid rpg level numbered.
@@RainCloudVideos just build your path into that not that complicated even on nightmare im literally doing my first playthrough on it now because of my original dislike of the RPG elements so i tried again, its dope overall
Thank you! Have them all and now I know which one I want to play next. Just finished black flag for the second time, onto brotherhood again.
I’ve just recently started ac1 again gonna go through them all leading up to mirage, mirage looks like it’s going back to roots just like ac1-revelations which is cool, good ranking by the way
brotherhood being number one is somthing i think we can all agree on. the ability to recruit,train and progress with your assasins. the apple of eden, the beautiful asthetic and combat, everything about it!
Yeah I always loved Brotherhood. There are some janky moments that make it absolutely soul crushing to 100% though. Mostly the entire sections from the castello towards the location of the apple and then again to safety. Both sections are absolute torture to 100%. I also remember rage quitting on the Leonardo tank mission.
It's so weird. Brotherhood has always been my least favorite game.
I think it was mainly due to the disappointment when it first came out. What I loved the most about 1 and 2 was planning assassinations, and being creative and stealthy.
Brotherhood had literally 1 kill that allowed you to be creative, which was Juan Borgia. The rest of it was linear.
Future games continued this trend, but Brotherhood was my first disappointment in this regard, and I will always remember it with a sour taste in my mouth.
On top of that, it felt too short, and was quite glitchy at release. I never viewed it as a fully fletched title, just a very large DLC.
I was very surprised to find out that it was a fan favorite. Maybe it is worth a replay.
Seeing them rise to the rank of assassin in their own ceremony was probably one on my proudest achievements as a kid! Couldn’t help but feel pride! I feel assassins creed has really lost its way since Desmond died.
@@Guldmann266 it definitely is although im a little biased off nostalgia. IMO the majority of ac games before origins were stellar but ezio games and black flag were always the best of the bunch... to me atleast

As a Greek,odyssey made me feel like I’m actually living in 491 bc. The way people feel like they’re actual pirates playing blackflag. It had everything I expected it to have. Mythology,war,humor,I was having philosophical conversations with fucking Socrates and they felt vividly real. It was a hell of a game in my opinion. It definitely didn’t feel like an assassins creed game,but as a videogame it was fantastic
I completely agree!
@Yugoslavian Catu expected Ubisoft to make all characters speak Ancient Greek? In that case ac 2 should have been in Italian,revelations should have been in Turkish,unity should have been in French and so on. I understand a little bit of Ancient Greek and even I would get bored of the game if they made it in my language
So glad seeing Odyssey get some praise after the hatetrain.
1000% agree on this. Odessy is the best 👍 I love everything about that game. I love Layla Trilogy. Fuck AC Puritans who think Layla Trilogy is bad.
Yeah that ASSASSINS CREED game had everything except ASSASSINS and a CREED ....
GOATED. I can't believe I've found someone whose AC opinions on each game I agree with so near completely. Perfecto
AC brotherhood, 3 and 2 in that order.. without a doubt, all of them are absolutely amazing and i'd even say flawless. tbh I'm ranking them on the impact they had and the amount of nostalgia they produce more than actual gameplay. Amazing..
Just started Valhalla and just played 15 hours in a day and a half. So far it’s turning out to be my favourite assassins creed game even though I don’t really think of it as an “assassins creed” game
Me too just watched Vikings and it was so good and feels so sick To play at the same places and meet same People from the series
@@k0nonen yeah after watching vikings and the last kingdom playing a Viking game is amazing
I also watch vikings thats why i try valhalla in the first place tho i did not enjoy it for some reason i just found it boring idk why. Wish i can enjoy it like you
15 hours I enjoyed it too. But trust me it gets stale fast. Im 65 hours in and I feel cheated now. It's rinse and repeat. And the world is soooo huge I feel like I have hardly scratched the surface. It's a massive time drain. The start is good building your settlement ect but it unfortunately starts to get old
Same like I like Vikings A lot so it’s rlly nice and I have no problem connecting with eivor I love it I have around 2 days of playtime in it rn and I wasn’t bored for 1 sec. Also I like the fighting too it rlly isn’t that bad as he said it’s rlly cruel and u love it the heads going off and stuff
I remember how every year since 2007 and then 2009, whenever I would go to game stop I would see all the posters of the AC games that were new at the time. Because I was young at the time to not play these games, I missed out on them. And man, now that i've played all of them after four years, what a journey it was to play these games.
Never played any AC game before a few months ago. Finished 1 and i am playing 2 now, loved both. Any advice on how to go forward after finishing 2?
@@mamory3791 play the rest of the Ezio games and decide from there. A lot of people say after Black Flag that Ac went downhill. But Origins was actually good as a recent AC game
@@themysteriousredwarriorblo1662 why isnt odyssey better than origins?
@Serbon Resurrected Agreed. You are supposed to discover the history as it is, not change it, to synchronize with your ancestor, but in Odyssey there is no synchronization! I don't even know why when you die it says "desyncronized" instead of saying "you died" or "death", which would have been more appropriate.
@@mamory3791 Play them in the release order! Trust me, it's the best way!
I tried with Valhalla but you summed it up with great words. 😅 my favorite is Origins but I do think Odyssey is the best overall with Black Flag
I wish I could dumb my brain down while traveling in Odyssey and Valhalla (along with the horrendous combat system. Like hitting people with inflated bats)
