You should go back and play it-there are spoilers ahead-and it is such a shame that the collective memory of games media and gamers alike is so short and focused on The Next Big Thing. But there is one outlier in this nearly 15-year-old series that, in many ways, does feel like the true sequel to Assassin’s Creed, and that game is 2014’s Assassin’s Creed: Unity. ![]() In some cases this worked in the game’s favor-just look at Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag-and in other cases, this has turned the series into something completely tired and rudderless: Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey and Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla. And as the series has progressed the games have become less and less focused on what made the original game so special. Its direct sequel cut back on the social stealth, abstraction, and assassination sandboxes that made the first game so special in exchange for open-world sprawl. The original Assassin’s Creed is still one of the greatest games of all time, and it is only in Assa ssin’s Creed: Unity that the series has managed to top that original title. ![]()
