Call me crazy but i agree with Skill Up. I hated the AC series until they tried to be RPGs and i though Origins and Odyssey were great.
I'll give
Origins some credit for trying somethin different, but Ubisoft didn't help anyone by making the EXP so grind heavy. Then putting DLC/MicroTransX to "skip the grind" they created. Feeding on those with FOMO or are that impatient. I know this was more of an issue with
Odyssey, but Ubisoft still can fuck off for trying to scam people regardless.
To me the assassination and stealth style of gameplay is best suited to tight linear levels or smaller open areas like in Hitman. But when you put them in an open world type of setting and also try to tell a compelling story the stealth becomes tedious in a longer game.
You more or less pointed out the flaws of both
Origins and
Odyssey, and why people don't want over bloated games with "1000 hours of great content" (mostly lazy copied and pasted quest and markers).
Origins and
Odyssey would have been better as seperate IPs, than being another
AC game. The same thing goes for
Black Flag too.
I already you disagree with me on this, but
Tsushima is the best AC game ever made. Better than any of them. Yes, I am including the great and best ones. Because
Tsushima doesn't have that dumb conspiracy nonsense everyone stopped caring about around
III and
Black Flag. While at the same time having much better combat and kick ass stealth that turns you into ancient ninja-samurai Batman.
