I assume if I were to do so, I should play them in order?

No. Don't play AC1. AC2 is literally better in every way.

I haven't either, and only loosely know the 'plot'. Pretty much if I were to play one, Anagram's advice would be the way to go I think.

Yeah don't play AC1. The first one is way too repetitive and you could easily lose interest in the series altogether from that. Start from the second one, maybe watch some youtube videos if you want to know the plot of the first one.

Well, I played AC1 first.



I would still skip directly to AC2 if I were you. Better in absolutely every way. Read a plot summary of the first game and you'll be fine.

AC1 is a decent game, and you won't get that bored unless you try to 100% it

But if you don't like it, then skip it imo

Play AC1 1/3rd of the way through, then drop it and go to AC2. AC1 does a great job of establishing the core idea of the series, the story, and the gameplay. But execution-wise it is VERY weak. But I think it's important to play the game to see how the series started, and to have something to compare AC2 to. 50% of my enjoyment of AC2 was being floored at how much better it was than AC1. You can't get that without playing AC1.

I liked Assassin's Creed. Though I would advise just beat it and not 100% everything.

Though if after 1 Assassination you are bored move onto AC2 as they made huge improvements with it.

You can beat AC1 in a few hours if you aren't bothering with sidequests, so you may as well play it to get the story

Assassin's Creed 1 is fun if you pace yourself and beat it over the course of a year. Otherwise you'll get super bored of the repetitiveness.

Assassin's Creed 2 is excellent, Brotherhood is pretty good too, from what I've heard you can safely skip Revelations.

Play AC1 as quickly as you can, do very little of it. You kind of need the story.

You really don't need the story.

Watch a summary video on youtube or read the summary on wikipedia. It'd be quicker.

AC1 is abysmal compared to it's sequels. You really would be better off getting a summary and starting with two.

AC1 is full of problems but is fundamentally an OK game.

AC2 is awesome and is better in every way but I still think AC1 is worth playing, tbqh

Yeah AC1 would not take that long to beat if you just played the main story missions, DeathChicken is right. Worth blasting through it.

Because the first one wasn't terrible. AC2 just makes it look terrible. When AC1 first came out and it was fresh, some of the stuff it did was incredible. AC2 basically does all of that and more so it's better but AC1 can't be overlooked.

nah this isn't it

I haven't played AC2 yet, but I really don't like AC1. It's really just bad on its own.

AC1 is an example of a great concept that messes up all the little things to render it pretty bad.

AC2 addressed all those mistakes and improves upon the concept as well.

The first one is cheap and even comes with the PS3 version of AC Revelations.

Don't be a tool and at least try it out.

Without knowing how "bad" everyone thought it was, I enjoyed it.

You're living in a post-Uncharted, post-everything else world. AC1 when it came out was an astounding achievement for me. You could climb on the freaking window frame, it was amazing.

That and the whole methodical assassination aspect was awesome. The slow, stealthy, pushing people out of the way thing. Fun. Fine game. Just outclassed in every way by AC2.

I honestly had fun with AC1, I pulled an all-nighter to beat it cause I heard AC2 was so much better. Just don't worry about sidequests or anything and do everything you can to beat it ASAP. Like foolmo said, AC2 is even better after having played AC1. And even though getting to the ending scenes means playing through the game, I do think it's worth it. At the very least, play through the first 3 assassinations of AC1, then watch the endgame stuff on youtube.

I wouldn't call AC1 terrible per se, but when it came out I was still completely underwhelmed. If my little brother hadn't bought AC2 I probably would've never played it because of the first one. Luckily he did and AC2 was glorious. Brotherhood is great too, haven't played the new one yet.

AC1 has the opposite problem of the rest of the series: tedious gameplay, engaging Desmond storyline. You should at least try the first, though. If you don't get into it, watch the ending on YouTube and get yourself ready for one of the best lead characters in Ezio.
