Origins successfully reinvented Assassin's Creed with a breathtaking recreation of ancient Egypt, a compelling protagonist in Bayek, and RPG mechanics that breathed new life into a franchise that desperately needed it.

Brotherhood refined Assassin's Creed II's formula with a stunning recreation of Rome, the addictive Brotherhood recruitment system, and surprisingly compelling multiplayer that made it a high point for the series.

Odyssey is the biggest and most ambitious Assassin's Creed, offering a gorgeous recreation of ancient Greece and deep RPG systems, though its enormous scope sometimes works against it with bloated content and an identity far removed from the series' roots.

Assassin's Creed Shadows finally delivers the feudal Japan setting fans demanded for over a decade, and the dual protagonist system between Naoe the shinobi and Yasuke the samurai provides genuinely different gameplay experiences within the same world. The stealth mechanics are the best in the franchise's history, Yasuke's combat is weighty and satisfying, and 16th-century Japan is realized with extraordinary detail. The open world still suffers from Ubisoft's signature bloat, and the narrative doesn't always justify switching between its two leads.

Valhalla delivers a richly atmospheric Viking saga with satisfying raids and strong world-building, but its staggering length, repetitive structure, and technical issues make it a test of endurance as much as an adventure.
2023 · Action / Stealth · PC / Ubisoft Connect
Assassin's Creed Mirage is Ubisoft's attempt to return the series to its stealth-action roots, and it partially succeeds by delivering a focused 20-hour campaign set in a beautifully realized 9th-century Baghdad. The parkour and stealth feel better than they have in years, and the tighter scope is a welcome correction after Valhalla's bloat. But the return to basics also reveals how much the genre has evolved since the early games, and Mirage's systems feel dated compared to modern stealth action competitors.
