The best Assassin’s Creed games, ranked: from Black Flag to Odyssey

For 15 years, Assassin’s Creed has allowed gamers to sneak, stab and strangle unsuspecting victims in historical locations across the world: from Ancient Egypt to Victorian London by way of Renaissance Italy.

Ubisoft’s flagship series has made its own gaming history, becoming one of the best-selling video game franchises of all time (as of September 2022 the franchise had sold more than 200 million copies) as well as one of the most lauded.
