With Assassin's Creed Shadows having just released, we figured it was time to properly rank Ubisoft's beloved stealth-action franchise.

These Assassin's Creed games wow players with their art direction, showcasing incredible vistas, beautiful architecture, and striking designs.

In the original Assassin’s Creed, the line between combatants and civilians was clearly defined. The first game used its lore as an excuse to prevent players from killing random civilians, citing any unendorsed killing as a disruption of prewritten history. In Shadows, the distinction is murkier. And the kills, messier.
