Ubisoft took the series in a whole new direction with Assassin's Creed Origins, and from an aesthetic perspective, I absolutely loved it. A few are still scurrying around in there today, but the only thing I found truly alarming during my most recent playthrough is the bizarre English-accented French being spoken by some of those "Parisian" NPCs. Paired with stunning period architecture and environmental textures, it's a shame that an unfortunate mangle of game-breaking bugs made many Creed fans dismiss it on principle. The map is also far smaller than the vastness of Black Flag, though that makes sense with its city setting. Causing mayhem in the city of love is a smooth and effortless joy, even with the French Revolution exploding all around you, thanks to new and improved freerunning mechanics that make traversing dense streets a lot easier. ![]() Collision gripes aside, I can't deny that Arno's adventures in Paris are a visual delight.
