Is Assassins Creed Worth it?
Is Assassins Creed Worth it?
OMG it's amazing. Do it. But don't expect anything spectacular from III, it kinda sucked. The rest are great.
Great series! I would recommended trying them out. The story isn't as good after AC3, but great from 1 to Revelations, but you may enjoy the new engine they implemented on 3 and 4. Ubisoft sort of "rebooted" the character you play as in AC4, and I'm pretty sure things will continue from there... To answer your final question, you sort of have to - but it's worth it!
From the ton I've seen with four, it seems much better to play than three. Three was dull and the engine struggled when climbing.
Assassin's Creed 2 stood out as the top choice so far, representing a strong entry in the series overall. I truly liked it all.
3 and 4 share the same engine... The collection is worthwhile. AC1 offers limited variety, yet the setting remains stunning. 2, Brotherhood and Revelations deliver the strongest narratives, while 4 excels in gameplay (in my opinion). Each features impressive environments filled with detail and historical precision.
I've only watched a few full runs of it, never actually tried it. I played three and it was really frustrating on the controller. It might feel different on PC, but I'm not sure.
