The Assassin's Creed series, which started in 2007, has unknowingly been more than 13 years old. In these more than ten years, players have experienced a variety of wonderful open worlds, charming plot stories, and free running and action. Foreign media ranked the entire "Assassin's Creed" series. Which one is the king of assassination in your heart?
TOP 12. Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation (2012)
Although "Assassin's Creed 3: Liberation" is at the end of the list, it is actually not bad. Although HD mode was added later, it actually existed for PSV at the beginning. Moreover, it is obvious that the performance of PSV greatly limits game design and gameplay. Although the overall gimmicks of the game and its perspective are quite limited, its core is still loyal to the style of the Assassin's Creed series.
The battle system of this game emphasizes the balance of offense and defense, which is full of fun. The plot also explores the gray areas of the Assassin Organization and the Templar Organization. The heroine Evelyn has the ability to disguise and can experience the living conditions of all classes in New Orleans. This setting seems to be fun, but it doesn't actually work. To sum up, although Assassin's Creed 3: Liberation failed to make a stunning breakthrough for the series, it is still a solid game.
TOP 11. Assassin’s Creed III (2012)
The previous work was too excellent in shaping Ezio, and this kind of success was difficult to replicate, and the protagonist of "Assassin's Creed 3" also had to struggle to perform under the dazzling light of his predecessors. As a small person with no initiative, Connor can only be swept by history to attack the big characters, and therefore "stumbled" to participate in almost every major event during the American War of Independence.
Not mentioning the rationality of the game settings, this game does introduce new and dazzling elements such as naval combat systems and base construction. Although the settings of colonial cities and wilderness in the game are not as interesting as those in the previous Renaissance Europe, they still try their best to present the rich game content to players, and strive to present this complex story that spans an entire generation to players. Although this attempt in Assassin's Creed 3 is not very effective, at least it has been tried.
TOP 10. Assassin's Creed Revelations (2011)
Assassin's CreedBasically every game in the series will have new breakthroughs, but this seems to stop at Assassin's Creed: Revelation. Overall, it is too similar to Egio's previous adventure story, the game operation is still interesting, the mission is quite cool, and the scene performance is also quite grand. This game is so excellent that it is difficult to pick out problems, but from another perspective, it is another manifestation of large IPs entering a period of lack of innovation burnout.
The tower defense mini-game seems to be the only new content worth mentioning in this game, but it is done poorly and will even affect the player's gaming experience, which makes it accused of being a victim of fame. In addition, although this ended as the storyline between Ezio and Altaïr, Desmond's story in modern dramas has made no progress, which makes this work stagnant.
TOP 9. Assassin's Creed Rogue (2014)
If you think "Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag" is very pleasing, then most of them will also favor "Assassin's Creed: Rebellion", because compared with these two works, they basically change the characters and story background. Compared with the former, the biggest improvement of the latter is to remove shortcomings rather than increase advantages. Except for this time the player needs to play the role of the Templar who hunts assassins, the rest of the game experience basically gives people a sense of déjà vu (and this novel protagonist setting has not yet reached the height expected by the players).
Assassin's Creed: Rebellion is too much in line with the existing gameplay and settings of the Assassin's Creed series: sailing by boat, deploying fleets, expanding territory, searching for collections, and performing assassinations. Although these contents are still interesting, compared with the previous work, there are too many similar components and it is difficult to leave a deep impression on people.
TOP 8. Assassin's Creed Unity (2014)
You must have heard of it, and even experienced the fear of being dominated by bugs in "Assassin's Creed: The Revolution", which is really unscathing. The game was simply a collection of bugs in the early stages of its release. The players who entered the trap were tortured at the beginning, and Ubisoft had to come forward to officially apologize. Although the criticism of the work has become a fact, the subsequent improvement is also shocking: after all the bugs were fixed, the excellent nature of "Assassin's Creed: The Revolution" was finally reflected.
The game's cooperative tasks are very interesting, with rich mechanisms, and combat is challenging and innovative. Players can learn about the history of the French Revolution through a relatively relaxed way of playing the game. In addition, the emotional descriptions of Arnold and Elise in the plot are delicate, adding a touch of personal style to the grand historical story.
TOP 7. "Assassin's Creed Origins" (2017)
As mentioned above, each piece in this series brings more or less some new content to the game, and "Assassin's Creed: Origin" is the most innovative work in the entire series. This work redefines the way the combat system and game is expanded, and introduces elements such as equipment type, player level, and complex skill trees to guide the series into the RPG type.
Despite the rich new content, this work still retains a large number of core content in the series, and does a very good job in the charming Egyptian style and the struggle for power among factions. A work that is brave enough to innovate is usually accompanied by mixed results. Assassin's Creed: Origins takes the risk of trying new content, which makes players excited, but the overall quality is mediocre, making people wonder that this is just a "test" work of subsequent greater innovations.
TOP 6. "Assassin's Creed" (2007)
The system of the first generation of games is indeed not as rich as that of latecomers, but it is still a masterpiece with clear purpose and rich ingenuity. Many open-world games of the same type as "Assassin's Creed" set the story in modern cities after the disaster, while Ubisoft broke the rules and placed the game stage in a mysterious, vast and fascinating ancient world. The first generation of games integrates stealth and action elements, encouraging players to pay attention to their surroundings while gradually exploring.
The combat system of this game is clever and unique, and the key assassination operations in the plot are as interesting as puzzle-solving. Although there are many repetitive tasks before the assassination, many clues have always implied that the story's development context will become increasingly grand, and this expectation continues to attract players to immerse themselves in the game world.
TOP 5. Assassin's Creed II (2009)
Assassin's Creed 2 eventually grew into an open world game, with a large number of cities for players to explore, diverse activities for players to participate, and a tensioned combat system was added. Ezio, the most iconic figure in the series, debuted in this work. Assassin's Creed 2 also introduces key elements that have been used in later generations, such as construction, upgrading bases, finding collections, and a variety of income channels.
This work recreates the magnificent landscape of Renaissance Italy, from the towering Catholic church to the winding waterway facilities, forming a visual feast. Assassin's Creed 2's playability and viewability are both important, which makes players intoxicated..
TOP 4. Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag" (2013)
Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag has deviated from the previous work in many aspects, but the game experience is not bad at all. The protagonist this time is a treasure hunting pirate, so the towering buildings and political conspiracies in the previous work are replaced by the thrills and excitement of sea adventures. It is true that the pirate career is so exciting, the excitement of adventure makes people stand up, the chaotic naval battles are dazzling, and the boat songs sang by the crew are even more time-honored.
Although the plot of this game is a bit loose and not even worth mentioning, the sense of accomplishment of conquering islands in the game can effectively dilute the shortcomings in the plot. If "Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag" is played as a pirate story instead of a "Assassin's Creed" series of games, maybe you can get more fun in the game.
TOP 3. Assassin's Creed Odyssey (2018)
Assassin's Creed: Odyssey inherits the setting of "Assassin's Creed: Origin", continues to explore the RPG field, organically combining the traditional framework of "Assassin's Creed" with RPG elements. This time the player will play the role of a heroic ancient Greek mercenary. This game has extremely high freedom, from the rich dialogue selection branches to the large enough ship appearance, all of which satisfy players.
The skill tree of this game is more and more abundant than the previous game, including a variety of combat skills, giving players a sense of accomplishment that can be invincible on the battlefield. Assassin's Creed Odyssey has a huge amount of quests and activities, but this also means a little repetitive, but Ubisoft is also maintaining the diversity of this adventure story through free/paid DLC.
TOP 2. Assassin's Creed Syndicate (2015)
Series of games can often add new elements and details to themselves through generations of games in the form of "instance payment", which cannot be done by independent works. "Assassin's Creed: The Hero" is the masterpiece of the series' past attempts. It can almost be said to be the complete work of the "classic Assassin's Creed style".
The assassination missions in this game have been carefully crafted (and each game is distinctive), and the Victorian background setting makes players fascinated. In addition, the game also has various surprises, such as ziplines that allow players to leap among buildings, and the new system also includesThe game experience has been upgraded to allow people to experience this adventure story of the Fulai brothers in a completely new way.
TOP 1. Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood (2010)
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood achieves a near-perfect balance in retaining the essence and keeping pace with the times. The game not only retains many classic settings of Assassin's Creed 2, but also adds new elements to the series and deepens the player's gaming experience and satisfaction. However, the above is just the tip of the iceberg of all the advantages of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. In this game, players can adopt more radical combat methods, such as using chain kills to knock down multiple enemies in one set, without having to hide in the corner and wait for an opportunity to assassinate as before.
This time Egio's base is no longer limited to one building. He repaired almost the entire city of Rome, divided the territory, improved the shops to enhance the influence of the Assassin Organization. In the game, we can recruit newcomers for the Brotherhood, summon them to help in battle, and send them to automatically perform tasks in real time.
Because of the addition of management and business elements, Egio is no longer a lone wolf among the crowd, but has transformed himself into an assassin master who looks at the overall situation, strategizes and controls the fate of the organization. In addition, the multiplayer competitive mode introduced in this game is also very clever. The above multiple elements have consolidated the quality and game experience of "Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood", making it firmly ranked first in the series.
