1 is a tech demo, you can just watch the story somewhere.
Ezio's trilogy is nice. Nothing amazing but I did enjoy a lot to see him grow from a young adult to handsome daddy, maturing in the process.
3 is another tech demo.
4 (black flag) is by far the best one and could've been one of the best pirate games ever made had it not been an AC game, since the assassin mechanics and stuff get in the way most of the time. Still really cool and Edward too based for this franchise.
Beyond that it is a mixbag, some people love or hate the other takes and the franchise ascends to uberslop once it reaches the Origins reboot.
Overall, it's a frustrating franchise. The original idea was cool, but so was just having action adventure games set in diferent time periods. They didn't have the balls to go full on either side and it suffers a lot from it.
Personally, I think they should've tossed away the whole assassin stuff and focus on making isolated, somewhat historically accurate games. People underestimate the historical power of AC a lot. Back when 2 released, colleges reported a notable increase in people going for history careers, it genuinely made people interested in history and culture and that's cool as fuck, but eventually focused on sales and slop.
