I don't actually like AC Unity, but the franchise fumbled hard by not trying to build off it. Everyone still talks about its parkous despite it being a memetically broken load of shit (hence scrapped after 1 game)

I enjoyed Origins. It felt like a good restart of the franchise. They just made it worse and worse with Odyssey and Valhalla. Not touched any after that.

Man, who gives a fuck about Desmond, animus or any of that future crap, new asscreed games are pretty horrible but at least they make all of that optional, if you choose to you don't have to leave the simulation at all
it s on purpose, editors inest monet to make good first games then they just milk the license with serviceable shit. same with everything else : Pokemon, Warcraft, etc.

The combat is kinda shit, hitting people for 5 minutes before they go down is not fun, parkour also got simplified, not just mechanically but also because of the setting. You could argue that there was never any reason to ever climb shit in any asscreeds but it's still fun running around on rooftops, in Origins there's just no verticality, it's all 1-2 story houses with a fortress or a monument sometimes
>>718251123 >, in Origins there's just no verticality,
This has been an issue with every new AC game. They keep picking setting where there are no real cities. Origins was deserts, Odyssey was mountains and Valhalla was just fields. Gone are the days where the game was about exploring cities going up and planning around that. I've heard Mirage is better for this but even then it's a fraction of what the series was.
