It's hard to discuss such a massive series. It feels as if everything has been said about it and people have largely gotten tired of the formula, but hear me out.
I actually never played any of them, I recently started playing the first one (from 2007) on my Steam Deck and I am actually loving it. It's such a simple, straightforward game, with a basic but engaging story and honestly gorgeous visuals for the time. The mechanics are delightfully limited, in a sense that it really helps me to turn of my brain and just enjoy myself. I really like the world and how dense it is: all objectives are reasonably close and movement is quick and agile. A real gem for the Steam Deck!
I most certainly will get the sequel trilogy, as that one seems to be loved by a lot of people.
I have vivid memories of the first one and Brotherhood. Brotherhood had an excellent multiplayer mode.
Oh man I wish I'd been old enough to appreciate old assassin's creed multiplayer before it died. I remember seeing my brother play it but I was like 10 at the time and more interested in cod lmao
