Ranking the best Assassin's Creed games

#5 Assassins Creed

The first game in the long running franchise, Assassins Creed, takes place in the Holy Lands, Jerusalem, Acre and Damascus during the Third Crusade. The players take the role of legendary assassin Altair ibn-La’Ahad, who screws up a mission and gets demoted.

To regain his honour, Altair is tasked with killing nine Templars. The game is lower in this list because of one flaw, the lack of different sidequests to choose from, where it felt like you were literally doing the same things over and over.

This game established Assassin's Creed's distinctive look: the white hood and the gauntlet with the Hidden Blade. The game was praised for its smooth platforming, intriguing “assassins versus templars” story spanning thousands of years, and the hidden-blade assassination techniques.
