    The Greatest Assassin's Creed

    While I have not completed every Assassin's Creed game, I have played portions of most (though I have not touched Origins or Odyssey). Black Flag is the greatest of them all. The Ezio trilogy may have the best story, but this has a fantastic balance of excellent gameplay and a decent story. If you are looking for the ultimate AC experience, go with Black Flag or Syndicate.

    What an experience

    What a beautiful open world game, sailing the seven seas,harpooning whales and sharks, raiding tombs and hunting, without a doubt the best AC game ever

    • Trivia
      All of the subtitles in the game are written with every noun capitalised. This is because this is how English used to be written during the 17th and 18th century.
    • Goofs
      In the present-day setting during the game one of the computers you hack shows Desmond Miles' ancestors through his mother and father. This report indicates that the first playable ancestor, Altair Ibn La-Ahad, comes from his mother's side. It shows the second one, Ezio Auditore Da Firenze, on his father's side. This contradicts the original statements made by Ezio and his uncle, Mario Auditore, in Assassin's Creed II that they were indeed descendants of Altair. This was either a mistake in writing or a change to the canon of the series.
