This series has had the weirdest metamorphosis over time. Like I wouldn't be at all surprised if the next game after this one is a dance dance slash sports game.

I mean they transformed it into an open world adventure / RPG, but they're definitely moving away from any semblance of a unifying/cohesive storyline which is really disappointing.

You could argue that since the game takes place in a computer simulation there's no reason why you can't have rainbow steeds.

I always believed it was going to be a trilogy, I am still really annoyed that Desmond died and we are left with an unsatisfactory conslusion.

AC Unity had a faceless throwaway character (the one that plays outside of the Animus), same with other games.

The gameplay is amazing, the stories inside the Animus are great. It's just that everything outside the Animus is shit.

if the only game you have to compare it to is watch dogs 1, sure. Otherwise it's a mediocre open world game with poor controls and an unlikeable ensemble of characters trying to be ZaNy AnD WaCkeY but at least it had some character instead of the dull, dry, boring watch dogs 1.

It's a game series about playing as an Assassin from various parts of the world in various times.

Pretty simple

Bad opinion.

There were some really fascinating details in Watch Dogs 2, like how the gangs and police interacted with one another and how that lent even more options to resolving certain missions.

Not to mention the focus they put into the San Francisco culture was just incredible. Really made me just love driving around and seeing the different sights.

'fascinating details' don't fix a fundamentally unfun game with fundamentally unlikable overly stereotyped characters.

I think the hard rules AC games stick to are;

open world, parkour, third person, mainly melee combat, real historic setting with their twist.

I was surprised they dropped the hidden blades in odyssey though.

But every assassins creed must have this disclaimer lol

Well, I didn't think it was fundamentally "unfun". I really enjoyed everything about that game except for the boat races which were way too long for their own good, and didn't really make any sense given there were no ... actual boat missions (from what I recall), so they just felt like a shoed-in feature.

Yeah, originally they intended to have 3 games, and having Desmond visit a different ancester in each game.
But Ubisoft smelled money so they had to pad out the story for more games, and then the voice actor of Lucy wanted to quit, so they suddenly threw in that she was a traitor and killed her.
