So I was checking Game of the year list on Wikipedia and noticed that Assassin’s Creed was never Game of the Year.
Not on any list around the world did it reach the top. The first one felt very fresh, but it just did not feel complete. But the 2nd one was just an amazing game and that one got beaten on some lists by Uncharted 2 which is understandable, but also by Batman: Arkham Asylum which is basically inspired by AC.
Maybe they should just ditch the whole Animus plot. I wished that Valhalla and Black Flag were just about being a Viking and a Pirate
Is it? All of the games are mid gameplay stretched out way too long/thin for their own good, with meh plots that they can’t even stick to. They threw away Desmond so the longer term story is basically non existent and they kept ruining with the pacing running modern world stuff anyways. The entire franchise is a fat 7ish out of 10, even if some of the games have little sparks of aspects to them being a little more interesting, they never managed to hit all the nails on the head at the same time.
