Odyssey was pretty dam good in my opinion.

Assassins creed has been consistently disappointing me since Black Flag.
AC2 used to be my favourite game and the modern titles are unrecognisable. They’re all just a bunch of generic, drawn out, mass appeal, play it safe bollocks.

It was. Most of it’s criticism comes from the fact that it’s not really an assassin’s creed game anymore. It was mostly far cry: ancient greece

Which is not a really good criticism in my opnion. It still had a lot of the core elements of AC, they just tried some new things. And a lot of it worked out.

Agreed. As a game it was one of the best Ubi has done maybe ever imo.

I enjoyed Origins, Odyssey just felt so… empty. I couldn’t bring myself to do the post-game content I was so bored with it. I got to the Medusa and juat… stopped. Have no desire to go back to it.

I enjoyed Origins as well. To me Odyssey was a more refined version of Origins. Better exploration, combat, etc. Odyssey focused more on exploration which is maybe why you felt it was more empty? I enjoyed it personally but it’s definitely a preference thing.

There was definitely more exploration but all the “dungeons” were just cookie cutter copy/paste sections from what I remember, Origins at least had some unique puzzles

Unity had a rough launch, but that was the most “assassin” feeling assassin’s creed imo

Yeah, I do wonder about giving that another go.

As in you didn’t like Black Flag, or that was the last one you did? I’m currently replaying it for the first time since it came out and it’s alright so far. I completely forgot everything from the story

Black flag was good, everything after has disappointed me in one way or another.

The most upsetting thing is that they threw out anything resembling a decent narrative to draw out the series with diminishing returns. We never got closure on the templars and modern storylines are ignored now. We could have had closure and then just had everything in animus after.

It kinda bothers me that they didn’t at least go all in with switching up the story.
At this point the whole “assassin’s creed” part kinda holds the narrative and story back, I think they should just drop it entirely and have each game be its own thing.
I loved the assassin thing when I was 12, but it’s kinda cringe now.
