10 Best Assassin's Creed Games, Ranked Best To Worst: Page 2 of 10

An assassin backed by his band of merciless pirates.
Seriously, these guys just want to talk.


9. Assassin's Creed II

Open-world environments invite you to dive on in. 

Assassin's Creed II continues where the first left off. For most of the game, players control Ezio who rises to Assassin-hood after his family experiences a brutal betrayal. There are also portions of the story that take place in the present day, as Desmond desperately attempts to escape Abstergo and their forceful use of the Animus on him. This title is worthy of the second place slot as one of the best Assassin's Creed games because of the impact its design had on the rest of the titles in the series. The developers listened to players’ criticisms regarding the original Assassin's Creed, which resulted in the ironing out of almost every flaw.

Improvements seen in this ironed out sequel include a more dynamic storyline, plenty of side missions, revamped graphics, and a more responsive combat system. One of the most exciting things about this sequel is that it gives players the opportunity to experience life in a virtual Renaissance Italy. The music plays an important role in immersing the player in the atmosphere of that era. Should the player wish for an even deeper level of immersion, there is an option to set the language of the game to Italian. Also, trying to hunt down every collectible was a huge incentive to explore.

Escape routes are left up to your imagination in these dynamic environments.

Though it may not have all the features of its sequels, this title is responsible for one of the largest improvement gaps that a sequel has ever created.

I have played every Assassins Creed game to date and while i was late to Unity I still think it is a stronger experience, at least from a story point of view, than the third installment was.

Considering i have played and beaten every Assassin's Creed game to date, i have to say well done on this list. Unity is by far the worse one to date. in my opinion poor optimization is a understatement. this game is bad on all platforms PC and consoles. the game is beautiful but thats all. its sad Assassin's Creed Syndicate is using the same engine as Unity.

Thanks! I hope that the optimization bugs are worked out. I'm sure that Ubisoft will take the bugs to heart and iron them out for Syndicate. I have been watching a lot of trailers and there is so much potential for it. I hope they don't drop the ball.
