Assassin’s Creed vs the World
There was a time in which Assassin’s Creed games were great and innovative. In addition to being fun, they had a somewhat interesting story and very amazing mechanics. Somewhere along the road, Ubisoft lost its way and things got messed up.
The important thing nowadays is how Assassin’s Creed is a synonym for a series of disconnected and lately broken games. Many times the story was left aside, and game mechanics were repeated time after time until they became routine. There’s no denying that there are some exceptions to the rule, such as Black Flag; nonetheless, the Assassin’s Creed series seems to be going nowhere and really fast. Unity’s incredibly broken release really damaged the series credibility as well as weakened its fans’ patience.
Assassin’s Creed has become one of Ubisoft’s war horses, and instead of taking it easy and making the most out of each delivery titles have been piled up as fast as possible. Just like with fast food, people eventually get tired of things that taste all the same.
