I'm one of those AC fans that was introduced through the RPG titles, if Origin/Odyssey were never released, I'd probably never have played AC at all.

So after several hundred hours across Origin/Odyssey/Valhalla, and pages and pages of hate on this sub for the RPG titles, I decided to spitefully go through all the older AC games so that I could know the RPG titles are just as good in different ways.

In September I started Assassin's Creed on Steam and loved it, then played through the Ezio Collection, AC3, AC4, Rogue, Unity, (then took a break for Cyberpunk 2077, Jedi Survivor and now wrapping up Final Fantasy XVI [FF is my first true vg love]), and now I just fired up Syndicate and took out Rupert Ferris.

It took a little bit to refamiliarize myself with the controls (you know how switching between games fairly rapidly can be), but gods I love this series. I'd only intended to start the game up so that it would be in my PS5 home screen, but ended up playing through that whole mission.

Anyway, once I've finished this I'll have played through every mainline AC game. My takeaway is that AC has never been just one thing. Every one of these games is a piece of what Assassin's Creed is, and the franchise would be poorer for missing any of it.

Can't wait for Mirage.
