Which is too bad, because the Ezio saga is really worth experiencing. Combined that with the old parcour systems and it's a recipe for turning people away from the franchise. Clunky combat, stiff animations and the over reliance on unforgiving and at times seriously unfair stealth. But that's not to say I'd recommend new players any of the first AC games, because they did NOT age well at all. I mean, I've played more than enough games before AC ever came out, but I've never really deep dived into a franchise before and always looked forwards to the next one. They were one of the first franchises that I actually played as a 'loyal' fan.

You got me, I love the original Assassin's Creed games the most. I still cannot at ALL understand why so many people absolutely hate origins. So yeah I'm not a die hard AC fan but as a casual lover of the game, I gotta say, I have never felt so cheated by a fanbase opinion before choosing which game to buy. So much so that I beat it, then bought Valhalla - and although I am enjoying it so far, I found out about the dlc on sale for origins and took a break to go back and finish that. Bayek to me, is the most charismatic protagonist so far and, on the highly decisive subject of AC games, I PERSONALLY really liked the game mechanics of Origins best.

About a month ago, because of game pass 😂 I downloaded Origins and I have been so completely enthralled with it since. I chose Odyssey quite at random, played it for about 8 hours before I was uninterested in the story line and gave up. Took another break from the series, until all three of the 'new ones' were out. The first one that I ever played all the way through, was syndicate and I love that game.

THEN, when I got back into it, was with black flag and I LOVED it until I had to face the reality that I was not in love with the ship combat mechanics and so I had to end that one early lol. I thought it was cool, immediately, but I really care about the story and some of the early things were kinda lame and off-putting to me, especially the Adam and Eve thing, idk different strokes for different folks. This is a great conversation actually and I'm happy to have it because I think my answer will give you some insight you being an OG fan lol.I played SOME of 1, 2 and 3 and I wasn't interested enough to follow ANY of them through tbh (though to be fair - not because it's not a great set of games but think about the competition at the time).
