Assassin's Creed

[Jassassino]

Origins was bad.

Despite it not really being at all for me, and an absolute slog, I do think Origins is up there with SWBF 2015 for one of the most beautiful looking games to come out in the past two console generations, and I've enjoyed the pseudo-intellectual collabs Ubisoft have had since the start of their more 'ancient' games like Origins and Odysey. I went with my brother to this: Assassin's Creed partners with British Library for Alexander the Great Exhibition which wasn't the greatest exhibition ever, but there were a good amount of standout pieces and it was fun to see. 

Regarding formula change, I think Ubisoft did have it right to begin with - retaining the action adventure games and then having mobile and PS Vita spin-offs in a 2.5D, Prince of Persia, side scrolling puzzle room style with things like Assassin's Creed Chronicles. It felt like a far more concise franchise when it was handled in that way.
