[Frag Maniac]

Best:
AC2, Black Flag, Rogue

Worst:
Revelations

[Icaro Waisman]

worst is unity, and best, I would say syndicate, but I didn't finished yet, but yes, Syndicate!

[LedZepphead]

Edit; Try them all and play them in order.

I love them all and in my opinion AC:II is the best and Unity is my least favorite.

Here is my order from favorite to least favorite: AC:II > AC: Syndicate > Brotherhood > Black Flag > AC > Revelations > Rogue > AC:III > Unity.

[CursedPanther]

Most innovative of its time: AC Brotherhood, AC4 Black Flag
Least innovative of its time: AC Unity, AC Rogue, AC Revelations(the latter 2 are direct sequels though)

Haven't played AC Liberation or any of the Chronicles. May like them even less, or not.

[Xyper]

from best to worst (worst as in i still enjoyed them a lot.)
AC 2 - Black flag - Revelations - Syndicate - Brotherhood - AC - AC 3 - Rogue - Unity - Liberation

[uWot]

Best to Worst :

AC 2 > Black Flag > Unity (Despite the Bugs,it had an amazing Story)> Brotherhood > AC > Revelations > AC 3 > Syndicate (Sorry,despite all the Improvements ...the story just bored me to death and I had to struggle getting through it).

Haven't played Liberation xd so ...

If we are counting just PC releases for me Assassins Creed Liberations is worst, maybe followed by Unity. Those are the only 2 AC games I failed to finish.

Best: ACII or Black Flag. Black Flag is nice because it still looks good but will run pretty well om most modern cards. Jury still out on syndicate cuz I'm still playing. So far pretty good, but Ubi still overwhelms with its task system, sometimes you can hardly go a block without having popups show for some mission parameters you triggered by walking through a zone on the way to your marked destination.

BEST:
AC2,ACB,Black Flag

Worst:
AC3

AC3 takes a lot of criticism, but I actually quite enjoyed it. It introduced a lot of interesting and varied gamplay elements (developing the hometown and interacting with all the characters that live there, some resource gathering/economy stuff, the naval contracts etc.), it had some decent story points with a few good twists and turns, and it continued to develop the meta-game. Yeah, the ending wasn't the best, but I honestly believe the greatest failing there was that Ubisoft never did anything with it. Desmond sacrificing himself could have been used as a springboard for new and interesting storylines in the present day, but instead they just pissed the opportunity down their collective legs, abandoned the meta-game almost entirely, and proceeded to churn out pointless, unconnected and unltimately irrelevant new iterations.
As fun as the gameplay was in Black Flag, I'll gladly take the stronger stories of everything from AC3 and earlier over anything that came after.

Wow I actually agree with this. AC 3 is much maligned but I liked it overall. I think allot of it was the performance issues many were complaining about on its release much like unity. Its a solid lesson, if your game runs badly then people will cut it up. I came to it about a year after release so had no performance issue. I thought it was definately a good game.

AC 3:
introduced Naval Combat
Added running through trees, including free running courses in the trees
Introduced hunting and using those things to craft your gear.
Was the last AC that had parkour in the modern times and included some interesting around the world missions.


For me probably my least fav is AC Liberation. They upgraded it but it still showed its handheld roots imo and I didn't having to dress up and flirt w. people to pass the missions.

I'm only gonna rank in terms of Story because gameplay while it does change a bit feels overall the same through the series to me I enjoyed unity the most and disliked Syndicate the most

Both of these seem like the they are over weighting the recent entries too much. Like maybe I would think this if I had just started playing the AC series only in the last couple years. At least Zaxen does add a caveat that it's releating to story only.

I've been playing since the first AC dropped, and Assassin's Creed 1 was a very flawed game,so flawed it almost killed the francise before it really go started. In many ways it's similar to Unity in that the feed back loops where not very well thought out.

I guess like I said,
AC Liberation HD was the worst, what kind of AC game has outfits that don't let you climb?

The best probably AC 2. because if they had messed that up, or just continued the ideas from AC 1 then there would be no franchise

Obviously you're going to get some different responses, but for me, Assassin's Creed II / Brotherhood / Revelations (all 3 games together are basically one big game) was easily the best, followed VERY closely by Assassin's Creed 4 (fantastic game).

The worst is Assassin's Creed Unity BY FAR and it's not even close. It's just an awful game all-around. Bad storytelling, bad game mechanics, terrible game engine, from the clunky / laggy movement / climbing system to a worst of the worst combat system that can only be described as infuriating with the awful camera angles, zooming in so you can't see who's shooting at you, to taking away every neat and enjoyable move / action you've ever acquired and come to love in the AC series' various combat systems.

(Random banter) Unity's horrible fps drops were at least fixed, and if you didn't like the combat system then i'm guessing you were just bad at it. The new movement system was awkward at some times. Even though the climbing/ standing in thin air glitch will never be fixed, you can still revert it by fast travling/ checkpoint restarting. I do agree with you on Black Flag though, that game was great. (Still playing though brotherhood) (Random edit: Unity's movement felt like silk at some points, but only when you actually try. Also AC:Unity is my favorite game in the series only due to its lively open world and flow)

Brotherhood was probably the strongest example of the early AC games, it took what AC 2 had established but instead of just being "more" of a good thing it expanded things, adding a layer of strategy that has stayed with all AC games sense, wheter through the sailing missions you send our fleets on in AC 4,AC3 and the economy meta game. AC Revelations needed to finish up Ezio's and Altair's story but the issue was they had made brotherhood so robust they didn't just want to copy it, so experiemented with stuff like tower defense etc, that may not have worked the best.

I actually kinda like AC 3, the time period was awesome, being in the Amer Revelution. It was a bit clunky at parts but obviously the introduction of sailing turned out to be a concept that had alot of potential.

AC4 was superlative, pretty much AC's second generation Brotherhood, don't really need to go into it, almost anyone who played it loved it.

Rogue... once again fell into a similar trap as Revelations, built around the same version on Anvil as AC3,AC4. The only difference from Revelations was it's story didn't need to be told, there weren't any loose ends, it was mainly that Ubi knew there was no way in hell that Unity was gonna run on 360,PS3 so needed something. For all that it was fun, just not really adding too much to what AC 4 had established. I played and beat it though so they must have gotten somethings right.

Unity, essentially the blacksheep of the current generation, review and consensus wise at least. Ironically it's still the best looking and most technically impressive Assassin's Creed to date. Those huge crowds of people was / is a spectacle in and of it's self. I just couldn't bring myself to fall into it. Not a performance thing, I could and can still run the game really well, maybe it was the movement, or the mission layout. Not sure but it and Liberation are the only 2 AC games I havn't beaten.

Syndicate was a downgrade in terms of crowds. They can say it was artisic in choice since England wasn't in civil war (true) but the reality of it is, current gen consoles just couldn't handle that level of rendering and calculations. It's not just the riot scenes that were drawn back, but everywhere. The beggining of Unity when you sneak into that first palace, and they have all those people out there waiting for a celebration, there is no where in Syndicate that matches that, and that wasn't even a riot. The biggest gathering in Syndicate was the finale mission/party and it fell short in that respect to Unity's charecters on screen.
Despite that, I really liked Syndicate, the switching Assassins, tight plotting , fun stuff like fight clubs all worked really well.

Honorable mention goes to AC :Freedom Cry, which was an awesome piece of DLC
