Disagree. AC 2, Brotherhood, and Revelations are good and I love them, genuinely, but AC1 is undeniably the start of the series to me. For one, the modern storyline was genuinely half of the pull for me, I was so invested. And never have I ever felt more like an actual assassin than in AC1 I think. Every game after drifter further and further away from assassin and into generic action.
