Assassin’s Creed brought the stealth genre to new plateaus, proving assassins can remain hidden in broad daylight. The elusive assassins serve as the main characters of the games. While the original Assassin’s Creed was an action-adventure stealth game, the series later shifted into an RPG (role-playing game). More RPG elements mean added storylines as part of immersive quests.
The best Assassin’s Creed games contain gripping storylines. Those with weak narratives are considered subpar entries in the series. An all-around masterpiece means an Assassin’s Creed game has exciting side quests to supplement the main story. These are the best examples of those.
10 Assassin’s Creed III
The open-world design of Assassin’s Creed III was fun at times, but it was a letdown concerning the story. The game forces you to go through a lengthy tutorial spanning about 7 hours. It takes place during the American Revolutionary War in the 1700s.
The Assassin’s Creed III remaster leaves us unenthused, despite being the best way to play the game. There’s no way around it; Assassin’s Creed III is a weaker entry in the series.
9 Assassin’s Creed Rogue
The seafaring Assassin’s Creed Rogue is overshadowed by Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag mainly because of its story. Many criticize Assassin’s Creed Rogue for having worse gameplay mechanics. Also, the story sticks out like a sore thumb. Edward Kenway from Black Flag is more interesting than Shay Cormac. The novelty of playing as a Templar for the first time soon wears off. Rogue’s 10.5-hour story was too short.
8 Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is commended for its breathtaking open-world. The game’s Story Creator Mode allows you to edit and create narratives within the game. Especially since the game lets you choose a male or female protagonist, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey deserves praise. As a standalone game, the story is good. Compared to other Assassin’s Creed games, however, it falls short of expectations.
7 Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag
Once Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag came to next-gen consoles, it had high expectations. Thankfully, Ubisoft delivered a game with a cohesive narrative. Perhaps it’s the setting of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag that makes it so fun. It continues the story of Assassin’s Creed III, years after samples were retrieved from Desmond Miles’ body. The story takes twists and turns, including a stint involving Edward in prison for piracy. The templars are recuperating in the Caribbean, and you must stop them!
6 Assassin’s Creed: Origins
The Assassin’s Creed series takes players to different time periods and locations, which is why the series has remained relevant. Assassin’s Creed: Origins brought players to Ancient Egypt, providing a picturesque representation of the region. The game’s plot is interesting at first but takes questionable turns mid-game. If you’re in it for the side and main quests, Assassin’s Creed: Origins has multiple engaging storylines.
5 Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate
The Frye twins are caught amid a plot with the Templars, who want peace through forceful control. Like all mainline Assassin’s Creed games, Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate contains a vibrant open-world with an abundance of main quests and side quests. Side quests are interwoven into the story. This could be the most light-hearted game in franchise history. Not to mention the Jack the Ripper DLC, which takes place 20 years after the base game, Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate has genuinely fascinating storylines.
4 Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
Ever since the Assassin’s Creed series became a part of the action role-playing genre, the story expanded greatly. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, the series latest installment, is critically acclaimed, even with existing technical issues.
The story takes players to the 873 AD Viking invasion of Britain. You play as Eivor, a person who is caught in the ongoing war. The franchise’s overarching story is convoluted, but there are plenty of quests to keep players engaged.
3 Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood
Assassin’s Creed: The Ezio Collection contains three games featuring Ezio Auditore da Firenze, a master assassin and an influential figure in the series. Naturally, Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood is among the best Assassin’s Creed games of all time. There are numerous storylines for the player to complete.
The game is crammed with side quests, each more intriguing than the next. Reaching 100% is impractical, but that won’t prevent die-hard fans from pouring over a hundred hours into this open-ended game.
2 Assassin’s Creed (2007)
With a plot involving time travel, elusive organizations, and historical figures, the Assassin’s Creed series was convoluted since day one. The story became more involved with each installment.
The original Assassin’s Creed had the best story because it focused on central characters like Desmond Miles and Altaïr Ibn-LaʼAhad. In this case, it’s hard to beat the original. The gameplay of the first Assassin’s Creed needed more polish, but the story involving a sophisticated time travel machine called the “Animus” was spot on.
1 Assassin’s Creed II
There was a simpler time when Assassin’s Creed was more about a well-written narrative and less about open-world design. The various storylines in Assassin’s Creed II take you to places like inventor Leonardo da Vinci’s workshop. It’s well-known that Leonardo da Vinci drew designs for a wing glider, but few guessed you’d fly the machine in-game.
Assassin’s Creed II routinely shows up on lists as the best Assassin’s Creed game. The game’s plot helps explain why it’s highly regarded.
