I need to finish Unity....
I stopped halfway through because I always do everything in AC, and this time it was just too much.
Then don't even try to play Origins and especially Odyssey XD

100% i agreed + great shoots .AC1 needs proper remake not remaster. They could do amazing things with remake. Imagine RE2 level of remake.
Damn I REALLY forgot how amazing the art direction in Revelations was. Surprised you didn't mention that the game is filled to the brim with unique set pieces.Finished first 3 sequences and yeah this is not best Ezio game but it is my favorite one. Game also introduced some interesting mechanics to the series. One of the best thing they introduced that i don't remember if they ever introduced again is automatic following of NPCs. You just need to walk by them for few seconds and then release controls. Camera will go to close cinematic view and you can enjoy conversation between characters.
They also expanded Assassins recruitment and training. You actually get to work with assassins you intend to promote to Den leaders. And that was really clever way to introduce MP characters too (MP characters are targets in those missions.). While we are at Dens they introduced Tower Defense mini game too that wasn't received that well. I personally think that it was nice way to expand game and introduce some variety.
They also introduced different "modern day part" that also split community. Instead of just talking with your companions this time we got bit more puzzle platforming while we were discovering Desmonds past. And AC Rev did this style before Control XD
And i really liked that they went and actually finished Altair story too in this game. On top of that AC Rev has one of the best dialogues and writing of characters in AC series, together with AC4 (they were written by same man Darby McDevitt).
And i will onec again mention how amazing atmosphere is in this game.
I remember they'd literally peek around corners and point at you, making a stabbing motion with a knife in their hand. Which was a bit difficult to spot because Revelations had a lot of npcs onscreen at once.It was in AC Revelations that you can be instakilled by assassin's , with that scary music, right?

Im excited for the next AC because yay vikings and I'm extremely excited to see how they can push their tech even further.it was a jumpscare everytime
seriously it was awesome because you feeled what you do to others in every games lol.
i'm glad there is no AC this year because seriously i would be in overdose after Odyssey
didn't finished it yet, i'm a 91% and no dlc done yet.
I even want AC to come back in 2021. I LOVE ODYSSEY so much but if the next one is as big, i will say "nope"
Origins is a stupidly gorgeous game for it's size on PC.I got Origins because I heard so many good things about it. Might wait until I get a new GPU so I can play it with raytracing using Reshade.

Haven't heard of many attempts to add raytracing so I'd hop right in.

Material shaders and light bounces are way more advanced and natural looking in Origins, for some reason. Might be because they used NASA measurements to build their lighting model. I also feel like Odyssey has lower res textures due to memory limitations (The world is way bigger in Odyssey)
In my opinion 3 AC games with best Art Direction have same Art Director. Unity is only game outside those 3 that has amazing Art Direction and different Art Director. Those 3 games are Revelations, Black Flag and Origins, and for all of those Raphael Lacoste was Art Director. And ACR has lots of variety, it has one of the best missions in entire AC franchise:
That's interesting, I didn't know that about Origins. And yeah, in particular the rock/mountain textures in Odyssey always stuck out as lower quality.Material shaders and light bounces are way more advanced and natural looking in Origins, for some reason.

I think AC I and II are up there too in art direction. And you're absolutely right about the quality of life improvements in Revelations (auto-follow NPCs) being absent in other games. I suppose they fell through the cracks when switching between lead teams and engine versions (just as puzzles, set pieces, and platforming did), which is a shame.
Unfortunately, what I remember most from AC3 is Connor constantly exclaiming "Where is CHARLES LEE!?"
The series is in the best shape it's ever been. I hope they continue this path, and not mess it up by following in the footsteps of Ghost Recom, and The Division with online only, and crazy micro transactions.
I'm fine with the cosmetics gear.
I regret jumping straight to Odyssey, and skipping Rogue, Syndicate. I'm not sure I'll be able to play them now. :0
I'd like them to add the ability to build settlements, recruit soldiers, form alliances with other factions, and buy/rent homes.
I can't say that i agree. Story suffered a lot with new approach and going too big made games feel boring after a while because content repeats.

I think I got the AC3-remaster in my library... those screenshots really want to make me play it again. I enjoyed parts of it, but the biggest issue I had was that the cities did not allow for rooftop parkour that well from what I remember.
Woah, I haven't played Unity but those screenshots made me want to jump in rigth away! Is it available on Game Pass?
