I don’t hate them as games, but the need for gear to be able to actually do assassinations on the bigger guys somewhat makes it not an AC game any more. Still the same slightly tired gameplay, but the one element that made it satisfying is no longer there.
The best AC is either Origins or Odyssey.

Origins was great, but I’m sorry the best was 2

2 definitely felt like they’d finally built a game around the tech demo that was 1.

Agreed. It might not be the best one but I have a real soft spot for revelations, old man Ezio is a very compelling character, the setting, the characters. We get plenty of Egypt in games but I can recall ever getting the Ottoman Empire.
Also Unity is underrated, if it had been polished at launch I hold it would have been the best game in the original style gameplay series by far.

I think Unity’s main issue was they marketed the multiplayer heavily, but it was only in the game for an extremely limited number of missions.
They managed to annoy single player gamers and multiplayer gamers in one stroke.
They got overambitious with the crowds as well, leading to poor performance on consoles, along with a whole load of weird bugs. I played it on PC years later (maybe when the Notre Dame burned down?) and there were still parts of the game bugged, or chugged down to 20 fps for no reason.
