4. Assassin's Creed. The best video game series

Table of Contents

  1. Developer: Ubisoft
  2. First game release year: 2007
  3. Number of main installments: 11

The year 2007 must have been something really special when we look at the list of games that were released back then... One of them was Assassin's Creed. The game at first impressed with the unusual, historical setting of the Middle East, skillfully mixed with the contemporary plot, and the then fresh gameplay mechanics in a brilliantly created open world. Then it got even better stories, the memorable Ezio, even the pirates, until the series started to chase its own tail a little bit through all-too-frequent premieres.

Assassin's Creed is generally a fairly uneven series, with better and worse sequels. Even a small break in the publishing calendar was required, some parts of the gameplay were reworked, and RPG elements were added. Maintaining the same quality in increasingly open worlds is proving not so easy, but it has to be acknowledged that different historical eras and free movement provide half the fun of the game. Even the average "Assassin" will usually be better than the new but more generic science fiction.
