Ranking the Assassin's Creed Games

Richard tells us the best and worst Assassin’s Creed games.

- Richard Shivdarsan

With the recent release of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, it feels like a good time to look back on the Assassin’s Creed series and see which game is truly the best. The Assassin’s Creed franchise has evolved a great deal since the release of the original game back in 2007, so much so that those who have been absent from the series for a while would have a tough time recognising the more recent entries. Some people haven’t enjoyed what the series has become because it doesn’t feel like an ‘Assassin’s Creed’ game anymore, and while those criticisms are valid and more or less true, I have still found myself enjoying each new game as it releases and I’m excited for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla!

For this ranking, I will be sticking with the mainline games simply because I haven’t played all the spin-off entries such as the Chronicles series or the mobile games. Despite that, I think that Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation deserves an honourable mention because it was surprisingly a pretty good Assassin’s Creed experience on a portable system. It also starred the first female protagonist in the series who was also a person of colour and that’s always a plus! So with all that out of the way, it’s time to begin.

11. Assassin’s Creed (2007)
