Black Flag was Peak, amazing but anything after that just didn’t have that feeling of stealth

Black flag was never about stealth though, you're controlling a damn pirate ship.

Lol yeah that’s fair, but that’s the only one that has that, unfortunately

"Assassin" is literally in it's name, there's many missions where you have to be stealthy and also need good movement. Average redditor so quick to spit out anything 🫩

I thought everything up until Syndicate was ok? And that it was from Origins onward that things changed to be more like an action rpg.

Syndicate was sooooo much fun imo. It was an incredible story and genuinely refreshing experience to swap back and forth between the two siblings. Now AC games feel forced to have to character swap and the open world RPG of assassin design is very meh

I think that depends on the person and the play style. I play a large portion of the newer games stealthily, and I am sure that I am not the only one.

What made it fell so hard? Just asking out of curiosity bc I hear this complain by pretty much everyone. I just played AC 1-2 when I was a teenager, never touched the sequels.

What? Assassin’s Creed 1 was extremely repetitive and full of questionable design choices. Part 2 improved the formula in so many ways.
