Ubisoft&#8217;s long-running stealth, parkour, and assassination simulator has persisted for over 15 years across multiple console generations and sub-genres. There has been tons of innovation, from a more linear social stealth game with the original Assassin&#8217;s Creed to the sweeping, encompassing Viking simulator, Valhalla, four years ago.<\/p>\n<p>We were originally supposed to receive Assassin&#8217;s Creed Shadows next month; however, the samurai game has now been delayed to February 14, 2025. That means there are a few more months to play (or replay) some of the best Assassin&#8217;s Creed games in 2025.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#e5e54c;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#FFFF66;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">\n<h2><span id=\"key_takeaways\">Key Takeaways<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>There are over 14 mainline Assassin&#8217;s Creed games out there, with some excelling more in stealth and intrigue and others leaning more into the RPG genre.<\/li>\n<li>Assassin&#8217;s Creed spans ancient history up until the modern day through an in-universe device called the Animus.<\/li>\n<li>Assassin&#8217;s Creed has multiple protagonists, with a new character taking charge in each entry. Though, there are plenty of cameos.<\/li>\n<li>Each game visits a different historical era, from the glorious Golden Age of Piracy to the riveting and ever-changing landscapes of Ancient

But the reality is that Unity, despite doing its utmost to improve the standards of Assassin&#8217;s Creed as a whole, this entry is easily one of the most controversial of the series thanks to its infamous glitches and the crime of making its protagonist, Arno Dorian, utterly boring and forgettable.<\/p>\n<p>However, Unity isn&#8217;t a complete bust. Arno may not be all that memorable, but the setting of Paris during the 1307 French Revolution certainly is. Slipping through Paris&#8217; alleyways and using the environment to your advantage was not only fun back when it was released but remains so even now. With its refined emphasis on stealth, even at the bottom of our list, it&#8217;s still a good assassin game with leading parkour to take advantage of.<\/p>\n<p>Unity also had a built-from-scratch cooperative multiplayer that stood out, even among some of the better games within the series.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>12.

With Rogue (and III) that line became much more blurry, leaving players with the thought that perhaps they weren&#8217;t the good guy after all. Shay Cormac, Rogue&#8217;s protagonist, conveys this idea with the betrayal he suffers and the ensuing quest he takes on after it.<\/p>\n<p>Yet while the game&#8217;s variety in weaponry and combat was much improved, it quickly became repetitive and dull and was largely noticeable due to how short and static the story missions were.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>11.

However, it&#8217;s indisputable that the game has aged somewhat poorly, largely due to its clunky combat and parkour compared to the many games that came out after it.<\/p>\n<p>Even so, Assassin&#8217;s Creed is a game worth your time. Alta\u00efr may not be as memorable as Ezio, who remains largely a fan favorite, but he remains just as legendary. It also helps that as far as locations and settings go, the original allows players to explore cities like Damascus and Jerusalem, places rarely seen in media.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>10.

This entry follows Ezio and his adventures in Constantinople, where a growing Templar enemy proves to be a threat.

While this series has some incredible environments, Constantinople feels so gray and brown that it sticks out in the worst way. It may not be ranked among the most popular Assassin&#8217;s Creed games, but it&#8217;s worth experiencing at least once to see the end of Ezio&#8217;s story.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>8.

There was also more of a focus on the ongoing Templar and Assassin war, which fit well alongside protagonist Eivor&#8217;s goal of creating a new clan in England.<\/p>\n<p>It also helps that Valhalla has an exciting setting, with it being set in the years 872 to 878 AD and the Viking expansion into England and the cultural clash that comes with it.<\/p>\n<p>However, Valhalla takes the criticism of Odyssey&#8217;s size and microtransactions and decides to triple it. The world is much more expansive, which could be forgiven if the quests that you stumbled across during your time with the game weren&#8217;t so mind-numbingly repetitive and boring. It is a game that simply does not know when to bow out gracefully. That said, if you want to explore a game and easily put 200+ hours into it, Valhalla is the one for you.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>4.

Set in the Renaissance Era, the architecture of some of Italy&#8217;s historical places is sublime and truly works as an excellent component of Ezio&#8217;s story.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, while there were collectibles, none felt truly repetitive and often opened up new interactions and meaningful story beats that would then be carried on into the next game. Not even the modern Assassin&#8217;s Creed series games can say that, with one of the most common complaints being the continued bloat added to the world and why roaming around Italy with Ezio is so much more memorable.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2.

Love it or hate it, Ubisoft&#8217;s venture into the Golden Age of Piracy changed the series for the better, shaking up everything fans knew about worldbuilding, combat, and mission structure. Even now, over 10 years later, there&#8217;s never been a better pirate game.<\/p>\n<p>Black Flag&#8217;s biggest win is its introduction of naval and ship combat. The feeling of ordering your men around on your ship, boarding enemy ships, and engaging in sea warfare was the most exciting addition to this entry, and not even Ubisoft&#8217;s latest sea-faring adventure, Skull &amp; Bones, has replicated it. It truly highlights the fantasy of piracy, and if you really wanted to, it&#8217;s entirely possible just to spend hours and hours exploring the eastern seas. Even as a pirate title, it&#8217;s still one of the top-rated Assassin&#8217;s Creed games with a massive cult following, even spawning the spiritual successor, Skull and Bones, over 10 years later.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>1.

Their story is tense, full of heartbreak, and legendary, particularly with the two of them being direct descendants of the Greek hero and king, Leonidas.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, what makes Assassin&#8217;s Creed Odyssey the best is that it combines all of the best things about the series: engaging characters, extensive weaponry and armor, plenty of customization, an expansive world to explore, and the naval combat that we all know and love from Black Flag. Perfect, in every single way, and easily the best of Assassin&#8217;s Creed games.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"other_assassins_creed_games_you_can_play_in_cur_year\">Other Assassin&#8217;s Creed Games You Can Play in 2025\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"su-accordion su-u-trim\">\n<div class=\"su-spoiler su-spoiler-style-fancy su-spoiler-icon-plus\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\" data-anchor-in-url=\"no\"><div class=\"su-spoiler-title\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\"><span class=\"su-spoiler-icon\"><\/span>Assassin's Creed: Liberation<\/div><div class=\"su-spoiler-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\"> Follows Aveline, an Assassin part of the events that lead up to the American Revolution. $19.99 on Steam.
