        I really enjoyed the naval combat of black flag but it takes like 5 hours to get good. And the modern day parts of the game are even more of a slog

        As was origins honestly. Brotherhood is definitely my favourite and the later games feel more generic than true AC games, but they’re still good fun.

            Unity spent a long time being unplayable in an are where that was unforgivable than it is now. I picked it up just before the big patch where they also threw in the first DLC for free as an apology and I ran pretty well on my device, but nobody cared because nobody was playing it.

            I feel it also had a pretty lackluster story, I opened strongly but generally but then just became blander as it progressed. I really wanted to like the characters, but they never landed for me.

            The last game that I feel had a great plot was black flag, largely because everything since origins has been enormous in scope in a way that’s just directly detrimental to a linear cutscene style story. Also as historical RPGs they’re good but Assassin’s Creed has something really special that has been forgotten, and I was hoping this game would reignite it, but it seems not.

                I used to boot it up and just play through that one repeatable painting heist that was optionally 4 player, although I’d do it by myself.

          Origins grew on me as it’s own game, but I hated it as an assassins creed game.

          I personally found the next two extremely boring, but I can still replay origin and enjoy it.
