    I started Assassins Creed with Black Flag, and continued with the series from that point on. When I played Valhalla, I really didn’t enjoy it, to point that I dropped the game and instead went through the games I hadn’t played (1-3) and finished with a replay of Black Flag. I haven’t gone back to the series since but I’ve been meaning to try out Mirage. I’ve heard it’s decent.

    Since you’re currently playing Unity, I will say I enjoyed that one way more than the general consensus would suggest. The English accents in France was a little weird and I know the game was super buggy for some people but I had a great time with it. It might’ve helped that my friend was super into that game at the same time I was so we would talk about it together. I’d like to replay it one of these days but I owned it on Xbox One and don’t have that anymore.

      As a fan if open world RPGs, Valhalla was a great game for me, and I didn’t have any past expectations of an AC game to go by (it was many years since I played Unity when I got into Valhalla).

      I definitely enjoyed Unity and didn’t know about its bad reputation until after I finished Valhalla and started looking into which one I should play next. But coming to it again after playing all the previous ones, there was a definite “wtf, why is this not as polished as Black Flag” moment when I started. There are also some big changes from previous games that I had to get used to (no more whistling, no human shield), but I’m still enjoying it and I remember how much I loved exploring Paris the first time I played it (now I’m playing it more in completionist mode than stopping to take in the view).
