Ac syndicate's parkour is so unbelievably underrated. The grapple hook is the most underappreciated gameplay feature in the entire franchise. For the first time in an assassin's creed game, i almost never had to climb down a building to continue my parkour to the other side of the street and i found that revolutionary and incredibly helpful. The main complaint i usually see about syndicate's parkour is about how the buildings are so massive and the streets are so large which makes parkour a bit tiring to do,when the literal point of the grapple hook is to be the solution to this issue. The buildings and streets seem massive only if you don't use the grapple hook. If you do use it you never have to climb down a building and the parkour continues flawlessly.The parkour movements are great, not as great as unity's, but still the second most realistic-looking in the franchise. Of course it has it's problems, with the main issue being the lack of a jump button. But i really don't understand why the parkour is so hated by many fans

@oscarjenkins7505

3 ай бұрын

Yeah, but if you’re using the grapple hook that often, then you’re not doing much parkour. Syndicate is controversially my favourite game in the whole series, but I had this same problem with the parkour. I’d grapple in between buildings, climb over the roof of the next building, grapple again, climb over again, etc, etc. It’s not even really parkour at that point. I think the grapple hook could’ve been an amazing feature if it was more of a choice to use it. I didn’t like it because you’re forced to use it if you want somewhat fast movement, rather than being able to go between buildings naturally but having the choice use the grapple hook if you want to.

parkour down is still like half the parkouring. just because you suk at climbing down or cuz the game literally gives you a tool to literally SKIP the actual parkour doesnt mean it is an improvement. they should have made the parkpur down more fun like classic ACs or Unity instead of just letting you ignore it it is like a game letting you skip the 2nd phase of a boss fight and you claiming "wow! amazing boss design, i can skip to the 3rd phase of the boss fight. incredible🤓" btw if you love grappling hook so much during traversal play arkham games or just cause series (just cause 2 is great)

I actually really like how Unity doesn’t explains well how to correctly do parkour, it makes the player discover it and create a skill gap

He actually gets hyped on the feeling of improving at the game and having to get better at the mechanics. You know you’ve made a good gameplay system when it’s challenging but also rewarding and in turn makes players excited to get more into it.

parkour mechanics in ezio trilogy was at the peak of assassin creed , the control and freedom we had was far more superior than any other

My only gripe with the Revelations parkour is that I felt like compared to the other games in the trilogy Ezio would often stumble to one knee when jumping to a ledge that was at a slight angle. This would occasionally happen in the previous games but it was definitely at its worst here. I’m not sure if it was a coding issue or something to do with the environment but it breaks the flow of parkour quite significantly and looks kind of clumsy. Even in this video alone you can see it numerous times. Other than that Revelations is a great game overall.

finally someone that notices it. yeah, 27:33 it is giga annoying. and it is in brotherhood and AC2 as well. if you jump at a ledge in an angle more than 45° horizontally than Ezio breaks the speed and does this. but altair ALMOST never does it, it is so freeing in ac1 you can just leap and zip all over ledges at crazy angles and Altair will land elegantly and maintain speed gracefully and it feels amazing. but with ezio there is always this doubt while leaping at angles bit more than 45° where he will stumble everytime and lose all momentum. i never understand why they changed this from AC1. in AC1 it is much more forgiving, literally the only reason i enjoy AC1 parkour more than Ezio trilogy cuz as Altair i dont constantly have to 2nd guess myself during leaps. stuff like at 27:33 happens a bit too much in ezio trilogy but rarely in AC1 i have seen quite few parkour ranking videos but literally nobody mentions this

I was waiting for this🔥

I must be honest, playing Virtual Simulation for parkour in Brotherhood really showed off many awesome ways to traverse city and actually taught me some moves i didnt even know, like jump before edge, realosing high profile? to gently land etc. Thats the reason i praise parkour in Ezio Trilogy.

I've said it before, Revelations is the best AC game ever made. It had all the aspects of the brotherhood, leadership, parkour, combat, exploration, story, everything you want in an AC game, it had it. That's one thing I really missed in black flag was the parkour and the brotherhood that Revelations did flawlessly. You really felt the end of Ezio's life as an old man that had hundreds of years of experience as an assassin while still being somewhat young, yet being one of the top leaders of the biggest assassin org in the history of the world, and YOU played as him. It was an amazing experience in my childhood.

1:40 "That type of climbing should only be done by the likes of spiderman" Phenomenal words

i wish we had brotherhood climbing ,weight and ledge grabbing with unity dropping down and mixed up animations,ac3's vegetation hiding and that would be a perfect game

like you content, man. as a huge fan of the AC series since AC1, I've gotten to see how the parkour system changed as the series progressed over the years. I liked the combat system of the RPG in the series and enjoyed the parkour system in earlier games with my personal favorite being the system in AC Revelations where we get introduced to the hookblade which helps us to scale climbable surfaces somewhat quicker

Ac3 had some cool Vaults, I never knew how to do the vaults consistently and I only worked it out last year lol. I'm on Xbox so I always thought you had to tap 'A' just before an obstacle but turns out you just hold the 'A' button lol. I got Ac3 back when it came out and it's taken me just over 10 years to work that out 😅

for me, AC2 was PEAK Parkour because that was the one i was the best at and i found myself zoning out and forgetting what i was doing and just parkouring

This is a great list. I really hope we see Altair/Ezio levels of player freedom again at some point. The parkour system right now is almost like a Templar, restricting and controlling us instead of letting us be free.

Ezio games bring back so many memories great video.

From Assassin 's Creed 3 onwards, Parkour has become amazing. And from Assassin 's Creed Unity, Parkour is next level. People are praising AC1 and Ezio Trilogy parkour wothout understanding that from AC3 onwards,parkoir has become smoooth and players can also climb trees now. Which was impossible in previous games.

From AC3 onward? So you think even AC Odyssey's spiderman like parkour is better? and that game was after AC unity, so you're saying that AC Odyssey's "Parkour is next level" is this right?

16:35 I was hoping you'd bring up AC3's rock climbing feature, I loved being able to climb pretty much anywhere in that game, and was a little annoyed that Black Flags and Rogue lacked that feature. For me, that was the pinacle of the parkour/free running with maybe some slight improvements in certain regards in Black Flags and Rogue aside from the rock climbing going missing. And I much preferred what Unity and Syndicate gave us over anything the more recent games gave us, though I've not played Mirage yet.

Never have i ever agreed with a parkour ranking so much as this one.

I actually liked how you don't take damage after a fall in Odyssey. But it's pretty unrealistic to expect from other AC games since Alexios/Kassandra has a piece of eden on them all the time.

Insane that Ezio was still peak parkouring in his early 50s even without the hookblade.

The only really bad part of AC1’s parkour is how slow Altaïr climbs. Which when you have to constantly locate objectives by climbing towers, the slow climbing just makes it a painful process. But everything else about the first game’s parkour is insanely good for the franchise’s first attempt at parkour.

Good videos always

Great to see all different types of AC parkour in one video. Thanks! Aside Valhalla I‘ve played all games and I can agree with your ranking when it comes to technology and skills. I also like the parkour of the Ezio trilogy and the challenges it brings to the game. On the other hand I’m pretty sure that a lot of players where frustrated by it and gave up. Unity parcour (especially with ACU fixes) is much more player friendly. It still has weaknesses like the mentioned long jumps but it's very enjoyable. On the other end the one button parkour of Odyssey and Origins is so boring that I decided to skip Valhalla. Mirage got my attention after the patch and to be honest I really like it. The round city is one of the most parkour friendly settings of the whole series. AC has a huge player base with a wide range of expectations and a wide variety of player skills. I believe the only way to satisfy new and old school fans is to introduce selectable difficulties for Stealth, Parkour and Combat. Mirage has shown the possibility for Parkour. Also difficulties for Stealth could easily be changed by the observed range and the reaction time of guards. (guards from Origins to Mirage are so sleepy that I was shocked when I recently played AC III for the first time 😂) Also Combat should be solvable. A one button hack and slay mode for beginners and a Witcher I combat system for me.😉🙃

The extra environmental tools in Rogue, in my opinion, make it significantly better than 3 and 4. The best ziplines, ropes swings outside of the ships, lifts that go up or down or both, a few hollow tree stumps. It adds some great options.

@huyvouc9785

3 ай бұрын

that's some good points for Rogue, though. But still, I think there is one thing that ultimately holds back Rogue's parkour, and that's the level design. Most of the maps in Rogue are sea, and there is only one city: New York. Compared to NY in AC3, while it's true that there are ziplines, ropeswings and stuffs, and they are very few on the map. If you notice, in Rogue's NY there seems to be much much less parkour objects and parkour route, even though it's the same location in AC3. AC3 NY offers more parkour objects and parkour routes, not to mention the ability to parkour through windows/doors - the thing that they throw away in Rogue. One more thing to mention, is that the height of buildings in Rogue is lacking the variety, so it fells flat compared to other ACs. That said, I don't think that AC3 is better than Rogue that much in terms of parkour. AC4 is the only game in the Kenway era that can take the W in parkour, since it offers the best parkour level design with multiple layers of heights and so many parkour objects and parkour routes to explore.

Great list. I’m just playing Mirage after replaying III and II. Last year I just finally finished that drunken mess called Valhalla. And tbh. Jumps between games like Unity Revelation compared to newer ones are crazy

Haven't played all the games but this seems like a very agreeable list. Personally I found the lack of directional control in Unity frustrating enough for me to rank it below AC4 and AC3, and maybe even Syndicate. I haven't played any of the games older than AC3 yet though, nor Mirage or Rogue. So no comment there. But I think I'd rank AC4 above AC3. Kingston is slightly better for parkour than Havana in my opinion. Just love how the buildings, trees etc. are perfectly distanced from each other there, it's the only area in all of the games I've played so far where I've felt motivated to just run around enjoying the parkour for a bit. I also think AC3 suffers a bit more from very samey looking buildings everywhere, so it doesn't take long before you've seen it all essentially. Same can be said for Unity though, I found that entire city sections seemed literally copy pasted there. I also think Unity lacked open spaces. That's partly why I'd consider ranking it below Syndicate. I actually think having transitions between confined and open spaces offer a nice change of pace/flow for the parkour (if done right at least), as well as more variety in aesthetic. But I've not finished Syndicate, haven't even gotten the grapple hook yet. So it depends on how much I like that mechanic, it looks pretty neat though from what I've seen and I wouldn't be surprised if I end up preferring Syndicate over Unity overall once I've finished that one.

When it comes to parkour, I believe that people mix up the definitions of parkour and freerunning. Parkour is solely just getting from point A to point B as fast as possible. Freerunning is basically that but trading out speed and efficiency for flashy moves and aesthetic appeal. In terms of parkour, AC1 and the Ezio games had the best, Unity has the best freerunning, and for a mix of both that would go to Three, Black Flag, and Rogue

In syndicate there was a funny trick i used to go down quickly and it was to cancel the zipline while youre in the middle of it and you would need to land on a car since it disables fall damage.

ac syndicate combat was so fun for me

Parkour revolution seems in reverse order XD

He: says assassins creed Parkour is awesome Altair: glitches and teleports over a fence

Revelations and AC3 are my fav assassin's creed games, and the parkour is surely one of the reasons, in AC3 you feel heavy and the parkour is satisfying to watch (i find it nicer to look at than AC unity imo) and Revelations instead has the greatest parkour in terms of gameplay, it's incredible.

perfect ranking

While unity looks nice one of the biggest things about the parkour of assassins creed is how to make sure you plan correcty for maximum efficiency. The early ac games punished you for not looking ahead for movement which allows you to feel badass when you did move properly. One of the downsides for revelations was that the hookblade had too much forgiveness for mistakes. I did like the speed it provided but allowed me to turn off my brain alittle too much.

I love assassins creed 2 parkour system so much I actually lose track of my story progression.

Superb video, AC 1 parkour is my fav but I can see revelations obviously superiority. Amazing ranking!

Jumping off cliffs in Odyssey is one of the best ideas ever, how is everyone so divided about this when the thrill of finding the highest synchronization point becomes even more exciting because you're basically flying at this point. The power fantasy you get in Odyssey is more than worth losing any unecessary stealth mechanic or one hit kill counters...

I know for a fact you can manually jump in AC Rogue, so I'd assume you can also manually jump in Black Flag, it works the same way it does in AC3

I see you too enjoy dying the Revelations robes white and red as soon as possible too. 😁

I was surprised when you placed Unity in 4th but I fully agree with the explanation. It explains why so many people want to play Unity after seeing a parkour compilation but drop the game quickly.

Because they don't want to spend time learning the game

I agree that ac revelations is the sweet spot for parkour but overall the best assassins creed game is Rogue. Hear me out, it took what made black flag so popular and improved on it in almost every way, even reducing the map’s open spaces to allow easier access to land. The added features to the parkour like the swinging rope only used for the ship in black flag for example makes exploring on land so much better. Gameplay is more brutal as well and going back to the frontier was welcoming. Of course the reason why i like Rogue over any other assassins creed is because of the naval combat not only is it a good assassins creed game but its one of the best naval combat games aswell and no other assassins creed game has captured my interest like Rogue and Black flag.

Venice from AC 2 is my favorite parkour playground in the series.

Overall game, the og AC, Odyssey, and Unity are my 3 favorite games of all time. I think if they took Unity, changed the story and updated it I would play it all over again and never stop lol.

bro Charles Lee speed and agility and parkour is unbelievable!

Another banger 🐐🐐🐐

man ngl you're one of the best assassins creed creators

No you are! jokes aside, I appreciate that!

AC1-Revelations have the best parkour simply because if you were at a very high point then you would be so stressed and scared and the adrenaline would be rushing like crazy, careful not to misclick or look slightly in the wrong direction. Games after Unity are brain dead, just hold the button and you'll be up there in no time. 1 mission for example: Santa Maria Del Fiora assassin tomb; you are SO SO high up and you can see the distance of your fall. If you fall your heart will drop which makes it very immersive

Yeah, I liked holding one button for parkour. And in odyssey you don’t get that ability to jump and not take fall damage until late in the game. I like moving around without having to make sure I hit the right button each and every time. Just me though

Nah the syndicate slander is crazy 😭 it’s definitely better than AC 3s and that’s coming from someone who’s favorite game is AC 3

How so? what about Syndicate's parkour that I said in the video is worth being praised over AC3?

@peyton6616

Syndicate definitely has the better landmarks for parkour but I wouldn't say it's better than AC 3. They basically encourage you to zipline everywhere in Syndicate.

I agree the landmarks are astronomically clear in Syndicate, but from a parkour perspective, they aren't the best. You can't exactly parkour off the clock tower or anywhere in trafalgar square.

@@TheHiddenOne690 AC 3 just feels super automated to me whereas sure they took away the jump button in syndicate (which is really dumb) but it still feels relatively fluid when you actually can use the parkour. But hey man to each their own, it might just be a difference in preference.

it is the most restrictive game that isn't a rpg what are you on. Ac3 was a decent blend of animation and actual player input, syndicate is just grappling hook sim. There's no manual jump no side ejects were nerfed in unity and syndicate into side hops that are CONTEXT BASED. AC3 clears

Ac origins does have a sprint button it just isn't noticeable. If you hold down A (or X on PlayStation) you run just slightly faster than you already do

I agree I just replayed ezio trilogy and I was thinking why is this game so hard to climb and rooftop run and this video made me realize that it was because they took the skill out of it and made it easier

Didn't know people have issues with ezio fanboys. Of course he's the most beloved assasin, he's the only one with multiple game entries dedicated to him. Ubisoft saw people liked him and decided they would make people love him even more by giving us more of him. Connor could have had similar status if the games were done that way. I would have never liked connor because the fighting was far too easy in assasins creed 3. To the point that it distracts from everything else. I often ignored stealth because i knew i could just walk into a room and kill everyone using the counter button. You don't even have to attack in ac3.

Jade will come out in like the next year i pray to god it has parkor like the old games and not the new ones

1 and ezio trilogy fs have the most complex and yet simple parkour available. 3 and 4 are most visually appealing and I haven't played beyond lol.

Bro, I predicted all places in this ranking, because I agree 100%

If they had the parkour mechanics of the altair and ezio games, and then smoothed out the movement to flow more it would be perfect imo

What the hell does Ezio eat if he’s able to be that agile in his 50s I struggle to get out of bed each morning

in my opinion every game after revelations was too automated. im optimistic about the future of parkour in the franchise as mirage had much improved traversal especially the map design. so if they could make the side ejects, jumps and back ejects have a trajectory and be predictable again and have the map be designed with parkour in mind then the rpg future would be a good blend of the good from the past and the good from the new. that is if they continue with what they built with mirage, actuall tools instead of magic abilities. the map doesn't need to be completely in a city either, nature can also be designed for parkour, aswell as the urban areas and encampments we stumble apon in our jurneys. also ac2 in my opinion has the best map and system for parkour.

in Origins u are slithly faster while holding alt, and in parkour u jump further and higher while holding alt so ye there is run button in one way

I will argue that ac 3 has the second best parkour

Oh yeah, this a nice video right here

Alexios and Kassandra took fall damage in the game, but only in the way beginning so when the game ended they had leveled up enough and evolved to where they were pretty much a god

I love how every single comment I see just says oh this guy is correct, oh this guy is absolutely right, AC 2 was such a great game or assassin’s creed 1 had so much good movement. But this ranking isn’t a ranking about the best parkour this is a ranking about which is my favorite assassin‘s creed game explains how he prefers assassin‘s creed revelations to assassin‘s creed odyssey and why it doesn’t take away his own personal ideas to actually dedicate himself to what parkour should be. If I had to do a ranking of what I think the best parkour in assassin’s creed would be I would honestly put assassin’s creed Unity or assassin‘s creed mirage in first place because after all they are newer and can do more than assassin‘s creed revelations ever could. (I honestly prefer assassins Creed revelations as a game than assassin’s creed unity or mirage be at the end of the day do you have to admit to the parkour in the Older games was extremely bad for what you can do nowadays. )

"if i had to do a ranking" go for it. I'l subscribe to your channel and wait for your video because you just assumed I ranked this entire video based on my favorite games and overlooked everything I said.

AC3 and AC Unity is PEAK Parkour/Freerunning for me because Unity was fluid and amazing but when they introduced Freerunning in Trees in AC3, that was Peak to me

Have you seen the ac 2 parkour mod? If not I highly recommend it, it adds vaults back into the game and parkour down. theres other stuff but those are the main things for me
