Eh, black flag and rogue were pretty fun.
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.
Id even say that unity despite the bad press and how buggy it was is still in the overall good category.
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.
Fair enough, though I do think the overall gameplay of unity was pretty fucken good.
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.
