What is your favorite Assassin's Creed game and why?

So I'm a pretty big fan of the Assassin's Creed franchise. I love playing the games and exploring the lore and the historical fiction. There are obviously some inconsistencies in the portrayal of the time periods and I feel like with the latest one, Valhalla, they essentially turned the TV show Vikings into an Assassin's Creed game, especially with the dress and hair styles.

Anyway, my favorite game is Brotherhood. I think it's a good story, it is everything that Assassin's Creed is. It's Ezio in his prime, and I enjoy the game play and the ability to send new recruits out on missions and can use them for help.

It barely edges out Black Flag because I do love getting to play as a pirate and it was nice to see a new way of becoming an Assassin. I also respect the fact that they didn't go for the typical stereotypes of pirates we see in other media.

So respond which game is your favorite and why.

I played Altair's Chronicles, the original, II, and IV
I remember very little about the second and the first was an iconic novelty
I liked the fourth best probably because it was a natural succession in added features even though the scope of it became a bit too fantastical. Plus who can say no to sea shanties and "Huuaampback ahoy!"

I haven't played many of them but it I loved Brotherhood back then as a kid.
& I actually played Odyssey last year & fell in love with the scenery, setting, & mythological touches. So that's my favorite now

@ChiefJustWalks thanks for the response. I couldn't really get into the RPG style combat. I felt like I was just playing The Witcher games

@SW-User lol the fighting style was my favorite too 😅 I've always wanted to try The Witcher but tbh it's rare I get into a game I like. I'm not really a gamer I just try

I'm trying to remember, but it's the one where you're a Templar. I LOVED that one, I much prefer the Templars, I think the Assassins are a bunch of anarchist dickheads. I'm a tyrant at heart and I like government and order.

@Amylynne if you want to get the best story and progression of the mechanics and how it's changed over the years, start with Assassin's Creed, then 2, Brotherhood, Revelations, Rogue, 3, 4: Black Flag, and then skip Unity and go to Syndicate

@SW-User I have borrowed some disks.. I am looking forward to this, watched a recent one
(egypt?) and was impressed by the detail

SW-User

@Amylynne that's Origins. And it's an RPG style game, the games before that one...well, you'll see what I mean. It's a stealth and assassinate style game series

assassins creed 2 played it the most ad ezio is the man

Probably the original.
Kinda lost my taste for the series when they praised the Ottomans as heroes as the Byzantines as evil.
