So a while back, I wanted to play Conkere bad furday. After doing some math I worked out that it was cheaper to get an Xbox One and Rare Replay, than the original game.

But now that I have Conkers, and a new box. I thought to myself. Hey isn’t this backwards compatible with 360. Which it was. But this lead me to another thought. Why deal with Ubisoft BS on PCs and their Client. Where older games force you to sign in to play them. When I could just have them on one box.

Which eventually lead me to acquiring this small collection. Total price is $155.88 CAD (before tax) and I know I overpaid for some of the later games. But it’s all on one system with no Uplay BS in my face.

Ac1 - $3

AC2 - $4

ACB - $8

ACRe - $8

AC3 - $12

ACB - $7

ACRo - $15

ACU - $10 ($7 more than i think should costs)

ACS - $13

ACC - $18 (shocked with this one)

ACOr - $20 (could’ve got it for $10 but got it on impulse)

ACOd - $20

ACV - $30 (again $10 over used)

Do you actually play all of them? I have been told Origins was the best so I bought it and then stopped playing it after 10 hours. I didn’t like the characters and the combat felt very repetitive.

Yet, no. I've played most of them. AC1 and 2 are so far my fav. Black Flag is in it's own category. Skipped Brotherhood and Revelations. I tried AC3 but gave up on it. Didn't play Rouge, Chronicles or Valhalla. Unity sucks. Syndicate is OK, Origins is good so far, Odyssey is fine, but a slog.

Brotherhood and Revelations are both continuations and upgrades from 2. I would not recommend playing all three back to back, but if you liked 2 they should be high on your list to play next.

Origins is the "best" of the new set, but there are older titles that beat them out if you're okay with the older graphics. The AC2 trilogy is often considered one of the best, Black Flag is pretty unique and an absolutely fun time.

Origins was the first rpg. It was decent. Odyssey was in ancient Greece, I like it a lot better tbh
