All AC games are based on stealth, but there are also many missions involving ships

It looks a little bit like hitman and watchdogs. You can go in steath modus or all guns blazing. Stealth is more rewarding in general.

You can definitely play it that way, but it's sort of up to you. There's situations where it's obvious the game expects you to use stealth, but you don't have to. you could just run in and kill everyone if you can pull if off. There's also a lot of what would probably be called parkour, where you are in pursuit of someone. It's a good game and there are definitely times where you have a choice as to how you're going to approach the gameplay.

Good one. So few of the AC games could be called stealth games.

Well, they are supposed to be stealth games considering the theme and all, and all of them have stealth mechanics, so even if they are a poor stealth game, they still are one.

To me, the gameplay of the series has never really fit the story or theme. The most effective way to complete the missions where it doesn't force you to fight the awful stealth systems are best completed by running past everyone and stabbing the target.

The sign of a good stealth game is if the stealthy option is either as or more satisfying/fun/enjoyable the other option/s, (if there are other options) so when a series that claims to be about stealth (AC) is at its worst when tailing enemies or sneaking, you don't have a good stealth game.

Well, I might be late, but yes. As jank as the stealth mechanics are, it is 100% viable to complete the game with stealth, and in fact it is often encouraged.

Believe it or not? The stealth is actually a lot better than it was in past games in the series, too. Let that sink in for a while.

Encouraged, yes, Viable, no. I have hundreds of hours into the AC series on Steam, UPlay, and console, and the stealth before Unity had gone absolutely nowhere since the first game. Many people hate/d Unity (for good reason sometimes), but still like the newer games that have the exact same issues. Look at Origins compared to Unity, Origins has the same, and even more issues than Unity, yet because of the state of the industry, Origins gets mass praise.

Back on topic however, stealth in the AC games wasn't feasible until Unity at least added a cover mechanic, that in a stealth game series, they somehow though was okay to not include. I'm not saying AC is a bad series, in fact, it was one of my favorites until Ubisoft starting being modern Ubisoft, but calling pre-Unity games stealth games isn't right, they were barely attempting stealth, while herding players towards it.
