what made Brotherhood so good? I consistently see it on so many top lists, and it was one of the few games in the series I did play (and I agree, its my favorite) but I have no idea why. What made it better than 2?

It's been a while, but I remember liking it because it was basically Assassin's Creed 2 + good additions, unlike Revelations, which went a bit overboard with gadgets and forced side content.

unity is better than 1, 3, liberation, and revelations.

fact.

don't worry TC they do a decent job populating the map and make it not seem barren in origins (and the map is fucking massive). it's up to scratch compared against other AC games anyway. Plus the combat changes are a very welcome change from the mindless melee melee counter spam of past games.

I sometimes think Rogue is better than 4

Revelations had some stuff I really liked.

that hook that allowed you to climb higher, and the endings for Altair and Ezio were really touching

I agree Origins is easily the best in the series but 3 still has the best combat out of all the games

Oh fuck Rogue I forgot

Its below 2 for me only because of its length. Everything else about it was excellent though

Origins>Brotherhood>Revelations>2>3>4>1

I never played Rogue, Unity or Syndicate and I know my opinion of Black Flag is an outlier. I just thought that BF was incredibly boring. It was a good pirate game, but a bad Assassin's Creed. There was barely any plot and I thought that 3 had just the right amount of the sailing/piracy and they didn't need to make a whole game around it.

2 > 4 > 3 > Rev > Bro > 1 > Lib > Freedom, if the ones I've played.

2 is the best in terms of story, directing, characters and game world. Plus it had the biggest improvement in gameplay from its previous entry.

In 4, I really missed the features they took out from 3, like your notoriety (on foot) and I was underwhelmed in general by the upgrade from 3. They reused lots of animations and added only a few gameplay features. Still, pirating was cool and story was solid.

3 got a lot of hate because of glitches, but almost all of these were patched before I ever played it. Huge upgrade in gameplay from Rev--almost as huge as 2 from 1--and by far my best setting. It did have its share of problems and if you're going for 100%, it's going to take forever, but overall a very underrated game.

Rev has so much going for it in so many ways but doesn't quite edge out 3 overall. The bombs were fun, even if you pretty much only use them to goof around. Hookblade was also fun. Great setting, great story, the first real closure in the whole series and an ending that felt like the writers came into work drunk (in the best possible way). Plus all the most annoying stuff is 99% avoidable. You only have to do one defense mission if you pay any attention at all to your notoriety and I'm pretty sure the Desmond crap is completely avoidable. Not much a fan of the one large overworld though.

Bro was kinda mediocre, tbh. It didn't add a lot to 2 and again I'm really not much a fan of the one large overworld. The Followers of Romulus were dumb way to add the crypts and the story feels superfluous and lazy overall. But I did love parts of Rome--like the Aqueducts and the Colosseum--and turning the whole city into the new Villa was a great idea. The gimmick levels were good for gimmick levels, too.

1 had great ideas but overall lacking execution. I loved that it let you actually plan your high profile assassinatins yourself but didn't like that it didn't end up mattering because you could mostly just run in and stab the guy, or you would always get noticed before you could do it, or any number of reasons. Still, giving you the chance and rarely taking control from the player explicity--even in pseudocutscenes--were great features that I was sure would be staples of the series. Side missions were super repetetive but thankfully optional.

Liberation had severely lacking story and characters, but the setting was not bad. What I loved about it (and I mean LOVED about it) was the personas system. But it was more of a feature that I could see potential for in future games (which sadly was omitted from 4) in a game that was otherwise underwhelming.

And finally Freedom Cry. I mean, let's be honest. It's a DLC.

I feel 3 got way too much hate. Yes, not opening up the game sooner was an issue and the integration of colonial characters wasn't the best, but overall it was really fun as a whole.

I've only ever played Black Flag. Is it worth going back and playing the other games? Origin looks amazing to me.

Definitely play Ezio's games since he's the best protagonist in the series

That being said Revelations is completely optional; only play if you want closure for him
