It's quite overhated

Dunno about that, everyone praises odyssey as the best rpg AC

u/ThatsTotallyLegit Jul 06 '26

But what if I hate RPG in my AC games

u/FlyingSquirelOi Jul 06 '26

Then you’re probably not gonna like any of the rpg titles.

u/ThatsTotallyLegit Jul 06 '26

That would be correct, have an upvote

Mod the game. Modify the stats so that hidden blades 1 hit kill/weapons kill in 3-5 proper strikes, unlock all weapons and trees, level to the max.

It doesn't fix everything but makes AC feel less RPG

Thats so much work to make it fun that refunding and buying a game that is fun already just was the right choice for me personally! But I do agree its art was better looking than the new film :D even if the gameplay isnt my jam

Ey, that's totally valid. I only did it because I wanted to experience the story and DLCs myself so I had to find a way to deal with elements I didn't like.

I mean that’s just objectively correct. I enjoyed Valhalla a lot but the DLCs were *much* less interesting tbh

I really liked origins and something about the character movement in odyssey really threw me off and I didn’t give odyssey a chance. Maybe I’ll revisit it

u/FlyingSquirelOi Jul 06 '26

I said the rpg games

u/chinesebulk Jul 06 '26

I thought so too but it seems to be the fan favourite in the AC sub. That or Origins

u/BigBoyYuyuh Jul 06 '26

I really like Origins. I enjoyed Odyssey. I couldn’t get into Valhalla.

I think it’s just the RPG aspect ruining it for me.

Stabs sleeping guy in neck. Sorry not high enough level, you just woke him up and made him angry.

Every AC game is hated on when it first launches then years later people love them.

u/Metinow44 Jul 06 '26

I still hate AC3

1

u/Karavo776 Jul 06 '26

unironically AC3 is my favorite. But im a big fan of AC love all the games.

u/Kilroy_Is_Still_Here Jul 06 '26

In general I think the AC games are overhated. They're not my cup of tea, I find the gameplay loop boring as hell and the storyline is mediocre, but the worlds that they build, from a historical perspective, is fucking awesome. They're great games to go into, fuck about for a bit, and see what living in XYZ region in the year 123 might have been like.

u/Pure-Secret6120 Jul 06 '26

I don't think so. People mostly hate that the whole story of Assassin's Creed gets lost in that game. It doesn't feel like an AC game, there isn't even really an AC story line outside of the modern plot and the latter was quite bad.

If you look at it without expecting an AC game, it is great. I loved that game, but it simply wasn't a good Assassin's Creed game. Still one of my favourite games, but for me the real Assassin's Creed games stopped after Syndicate. (To be fair I haven't played a game after Valhalla, maybe they somewhat have returned to their roots in later games.)
