This is difficult to do, because while 1 had by far the worst gameplay of the series, it's my opinion that the story and context immediately went to shit afterwards and only got worse from there

The cool part of the AC series was the mystery interleaved with parkour and combat- the secret societies and so on. In 1 you're not yet sure how the technology actually works and whether to take the lab technicians at face value. Altair is gradually learning new things along with the player.

Already in 2 nearly all mystery is gone, but at least they still try. everyone just somehow knows about all the secrets and secret societies and members are literally everywhere, but they still weave a plot about where these artifacts came from. Somehow everyone forgot about the societies by the time we reach the present day.

Imo, the onus is on the writers to advance new mysteries in each title

However, by 4 they had completely given up on anything interesting because it was too hard to do correctly. The series is now purely parkour, beautiful vistas and mild historical drama.

Yes, I'm disappointed, and dropped off the series a while ago. But I'm sure the newest game has the best gameplay yet.

I think 1 was the best idea and mandatory starting point for the series, and brotherhood is probably the ideal middle ground. Maybe 2. It's been a while

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.
