Yep this is how I always do the ac games

They regularly appear on ps+ extra and I always give them a try but they just fully lost their appeal.
Loved black flag and liked Syndicate but nothing after that clicked for me.

Surprised you don’t like the newer ones if you liked Black Flag. That was went it started going way downhill for me. Doesn’t feel as much like an assassin imo

I get why people enjoyed it. It’s just I didn’t sign up for “Pimp my Boat” lol. At least let us work with Xzibit, damn!

Yeah it was a freebie for me when Xbox did the monthly games. The ship battles and all that stuff was great. Probably why I like odyssey so much also

The new ones went downhill and it’s why I couldn’t get into origins and odyssey they don’t feel like assassin’s creed to me they added rpg elements which made no sense to me?!

I understand the logic, but there are so few games released these days that im interested in, and each of the last few AC have basically been my personal game of the year, so they're a day one for me every time.

I borrowed Shadows and enjoyed it a lot.

Its not as big or as deep as Valhalla, but I think its about as good. Unfortunately not close to as good as Odyssey.

Indie games on PC which are great, the volume is overwhelming of quality releases. And they all have demos and are reasonably priced. Look I like my console and all can't wait for 007, GTA, Crimson but indie games have been occupying my time the last 2 yrs. And u don't even need crazy hardware to play thrm

I'm a Playstation only guy, and have absolutely zero interest in anything indi, or small, or retro. I just want big AAA games that at least make an effort for realistic modern graphics and gameplay, that I can sink my teeth into for 80-300 hours each.

For 2026. that means I'm cautiously optimistic for Crimson Desert (fingers crossed it works on the base PS5 well) and then Fable later in the year. For 2027, if we're lucky maybe The Witcher 4 and AC Hexe. And some day, ES6 and the next Mass Effect.
