AC Syndicate settings give me a reason to study and learn so much about England history. My obsession with Black Butler get me interested in the Victorian Era lol but AC Syndicate always been number 1 in setting.

For me it’s always a hard choice between Odyssey and Valhalla. The amount of detail the developers put into Odyssey is just amazing. Like the giant snake skeleton near Delphi as a reference to to Apollo killing a snake so that Delphi gets it’s clairvoyant ability. Or the giant statue of Athena on the Akropolis which was destroyed almost a thousand years ago. And Valhalla’s huge forest with fog etc really adds an almost supernatural factor to the game. But if I had to choose I’d always pick Ancient Greece

I played finished and 100% origins today, i hear many people say that origins is way better than odyssey. Storywise, yes, i have to say that origins never bored me with the story and i even shed a tear in some parts... But odyssey, is perfect, i enjoyed it way more than origins and there is not even a competition between those two to me. Odyssey is definitely in my Top 10 best games.

For me what also gave personallity to those games with its first entries was the crowd and all the social stealth that came with it. I liked how you had to pay attention to the crowd when traversing cities: - Walking quickly at the risk of bumping with someone holding a vase/crate and breaking your stealth approach or walking slower but making sure you avoid NPCs. - Running quickly at the risk of bumping into someone and falling or running slower but making sure to push people away and not get slowed down. - In AC1, avoid crazy people who will shove you aside, breaking your stealth approach. Alongside the recruitable NPCs we got with AC2 (courtesans, mercenaries, thieves), all those things brought some personality to the world and unique mechanics to the game. I was sad when, starting with AC3, the character would automatically run at full speed and remove civilians from his way, it just made the crowd part of the decor now, like any building, instead of having it be a "character" of its own to pay attention to.

Valhalla is my fav. I love Norway and England. Especially Northern parts of England.

There's something about Colonial America in AC3 that always grabs me in how authentic it feels as opposed to being vibrant or lively as some of the other settings in the franchise. The Frontier in was very reminiscent of the Kingdom from AC1. Compared to most nature oriented open-worlds, it always felt a lot more grounded and dynamic with its NPC's and events, which always drew me back to it whenever I replay. In the Black Hills section of the map, you could literally parkour amongst the trees for long stretches of time and see the beauty that really shines through in the remaster. Along with the beautiful Winter setting which really brings everything to life even more.

@1woozy

I agree. It truly felt like the devs wanted an authentic approximation of the setting in AC3 and not a sandbox that just catered to what players had come to expect (i.e. sprawling high buildings, rooftops and 'exotic' sights). Like they chose Revolutionary America and then went full-send when it came time to flesh it out, doing their best with the tech available to them at the time. It sets the game apart from the ones before it and makes for a very immersive experience.

Can't really explain it, but there's something about odyssey that makes me wanna play it over and over again. I love it's vibe.

Great one🔥🎉

I love Odyssey and Valhalla because they are just located beautiful places, the landscapes in both are insane

i like both the revolution settings so lively

It was so cool playing ac3 for the first time last year. At school I was learning about 19th century canadian history, so the setting of ac3 connected to history class a little

I really enjoyed the Rift missions that gave you just a taste of the setting in different time periods, like La Belle Époque in Paris and WWI in England.

Plus London is beautiful and the rope launcher is honestly one of my favorite things in the series. It's a time saver and gliding the distances is fun for me to watch.

The sidequest in valhalla including those stones which every time you count them are different will never leave my head.

Thank you for giving syndicate the recognition it deserves. Absolute gem of a setting and an overall good game overshadowed by franchise fatigue at the time.

i veyr much misunderstood the title and went into this fully expecting a whole video detailing and ranking every option in the settings menus of the games, i have no idea why i was kinda up for watching that

in my opinion my enjoyment of the games comes down to how interested I am in the history of the setting, as an Irishman the American revolution doesn't interest me too much but classical Greece baffles me, at this point the whole assassin/templar thing has gone over my head and it's just a history sim at this stage!

Honestly I relate. Being Arab, Baghdad was my favorite to explore and Egypt is second

Next: Ranking the DLC worlds please! Saint-Domingue of Freedom Cry and Empirical America from Washington DLC are great! And Elysium and Atlantis from Odyssey are fantastic!

Odessey undoubtedly has one of the most lively worlds period. It actually feels like Greece and it’s beautiful. The npcs are actually doing everyday things, having conversations and other things.

Greece is my favorite ancient civilization, so I doubt any AC setting will ever top it for me personally

Now this list is different, that's what we love to see. Finally someone who's not glazing the Ezio line, instead put one of the most hated parts into the first 3 place. Funniest thing is that it's fully understandable. Unity, Origins, Odyssey are the best episodes for the huge content that they offer and I enjoyed them the most if I have to be honest.

They are so bloated and empty at the same time. Same goes for Odyssey. So disappointed with those 2 games.

i would critique your 1st choice: 1.) there is no negative spaces like in origins, the negative spaces are good for an AC game, and the unitys world desigh is terreble, you do not get a sense of discoverey, 2.) it does not take place during the entirety of the french revolutuion, it only happens within one city, other places of france is fascinatong for the french revolution. 3.) the city is crowded, which is annoying for many people who want to traverse the world. 4.) the city is dull with monotone colours and dull atmosphere.

1. Odyssey 2. Syndicate 3. Unity. My top 3, with Renaissance Italy and Ptolemaic Egypt right below.

"Baghdaddy"- The hidden one 2024

I'm new to AC so I don't have much to say on that matter I've only really played 2 of them for now: Syndicate that I already finished twice, and 3 that I'm currently playing But yeah I completely agree with what you said about these 2

valhalla world very good?

Hearing someone being positive about Assassin's Creed feels pretty good every once in a while

I really enjoyed ac valhala it was so good

I actually think every AC game has had solid settings in terms of time period and location... The historical figures are another story however, and the characters especially in more recent games' side stories act badly out of place for their time periods. The modern/meta humor in Valhalla was easily the worst part of the game.

Yh perfect list but all settings are really unique and crafted perfectly

One thing about AC origins i love is if you go to the cave where Layla is doing her shit. Bayek tells you thats where him and Amunet first fell in love and perhaps they should end it there too. Giving that location a whole different tone.

Im wondering How would an ac game set in australia during the taking of land Would it just me 3? Or different in more way than Australia

Odyssey was most beautiful setting for sure and there was plenty to do in it. Valhalla felt empty

My favourite world is probably odyssey, it just looks incredible and I love Ancient Greece so that adds to it. Shadows could definitely beat it if it’s done correctly though, I’m excited for it just to explore feudal Japan 😂

my personal favorites are syndicate, unity and black flag but nice list

Odyssey by far

The world in Odyssey is Truly Great the islands the cultures IDK. Maybe its cause i love Classical and ancient Greece

I believe they used AC Unity for the reconstruction of the Norte Dame after it caught on fire

Rogue is much better if you consider the time and budget constraints, but if we're ranking without considering that then it's not the best, true

Odyessy and Origins are two of the most favorite settings I have. I dislike the fact that Valhalla let's you explore abandoned Roman cities yet we NEVER got a game in Ancient Rome. Paris and Syndicate and Baghdad are top tier cities. That there is no doubt about. Paris will hold a place though.

when people ask me what is my favorite ac setting I say all of them

Worth nothing that Notre Dame in Unity was also partly used as a reference to the reconstruction of notre dame after the fire a few years ago

Nope, just an oft-repeated myth. Ubisoft offered help but it was never taken up on, simply because the real records are much more detailed than Ubisoft's.

AC1 should be higher. The cities are quite distinct, in my opinion, I'm quite confident I could guess them based on a random picture in black and white(no colour filter to help). Acre even has a visual and functional aspect found nowhere else in the series. AC1 is always dragged through the dirt lol

I always found Victorian British history fascinating and interesting, which is why AC Syndicate appealed to me with its setting That, and I love gothic fiction too AC Revelations made a mistake with its setting. It should have been Spain during the Spanish Inquisition, which was a setting teased in Assassin's Creed 2

As much as i hate odyssey i will admit the entire map looked beautiful and quite refreshing same with origins

I think the first AC still looks very good today.

Imagine it Unity but with the NPC Variety of Valhalla and Mirage

Only thing I actually appreciate about Rogue is the amazing performance on my doo doo laptop

Top-tier: 1. AC 2 (Pretty much the main reason AC 2 is my favorite game in the series) 2. AC Origins (Straight up pretty) 3. AC Syndicate (I would say the most alive open world in the series) 4. AC 4 Black Flag (Despite having small cities the Caribbean is stunning and fun the sail in) 5. AC Odyssey (Lots of landmarks and places to explore like the inside of volcanoes) 6. AC Unity (Probably the second most alive open world in the series) Mid-tier: 7. AC Brotherhood (Lots of landmarks with the Italian feeling though step back with having only one city with a lot of it being countryside) 8. AC 3 (Frontier is pretty with fun tree parkouring and the cities feel like American colonies) 9. AC 1 (Multiple cities with different atmospheres and designs for the rich, middle, and poor classes) 10. AC Revelations (Nice blend of AC 1 settings with the Ezio Trilogy but not as much variety on the buildings and less landmarks) Low-tier: 11. AC Rogue (North Atlantic is pretty but New York feels like AC 3 mixed in with Black Flag) 12. AC Valhalla (Lots to explore with an autumn feeling to England but most of the areas are in open fields and I prefer being in cities) Black Flag could be above or below both Odyssey and Unity anytime and Unity and Odyssey could swap places with each other and the same goes with AC 1 with AC 3 and Valhalla with Rogue. I haven't played Mirage yet but I'm thinking it may be either in the top tier or the mid tier.

The Ezio games did have a remaster though??

Due to my love of Ancient Greece nothing matched Odyssey for me!

Ubisoft has A LOT of problems, but I have always really enjoyed all the game worlds they've made

My comfort game is easily AC2! It’s my favorite game of all time! I could play it 4 times a year, but I only play it once every 2-3 years! (But I do hop on and explore Italy often!)

I’ve referred to valhallas world as being joyless and at points downright tedious in the past

I wish they would integrade more politic conflict about templar and assassin trought french revolution. I was a bit disapoint, specialy because it could be so much deeper than just what it is.

Odyssey should gains extra points for its historical accuracy, altought the scaling isn't right and the landscape doesn't look like that irl, the acropolis looks exactly like it should, i've seen it and both the Parthenon and the Erectheion are extremely accurate to how they look irl, others sites like Delphi, Korinth and Olympia are also so well designed it shows historians worked on this

The fiest Assassins creed game i ever played was Assassins creed 2 (yes before 1) but broo. It. For that time. Was amazingggggg. Life changing. One thing i see in the 2nd game thats not in any is the pistol. Ezio had that pistol. None of the others do that and i wonder if its because Leonardo Da Vinci hid his work or something?

To be honest the RPG trilogy, as beautiful as they were, really left a lot to be desired with settlements. AC Mirage actually seems to scale and gives the feel of Baghdad at the time. The Cities in the trilogy were laghable. There was one in Odessy that was litterally a big stone wall protecting like two dozen citizens lol. Literally small towns with the infrastructure of big cities at the time. Almost like Bethesda but not as bad

I disagree with Black flag being an AC game, he only joins the Brotherhood at the ending. So he's just a pirate.

It's people seeing it in KZread videos rather than playing it for themselves. It's undeniably a gorgeous game.

Personally I think Valhallas map is decent. It isn't bad... I mean, it also isn't really all too special and the story... Well I lost track after making an allieance with London. But all in all, I think the map is appealing in it's own way. Greece in Odyssey ofc is a lot, and I mean a very lot, more engaging and, well, diverse, but I like that Valhalla has less side content... Like, I am replaying Odyssey's 100% rn, and I wish I could think "Oh, cool, I get to explore Laconia now!" but my thoughts just go to "Ah shit, here we go again." Like, I haven't even started the story, I only just finished the mission on Andros and other than that just explored, doing side content, and I am already at lvl 40 or so, having only finished about one third of the entire map. Don'tget me wrong, I love Odyssey, I love the map, I am a sucker for ancient Greek history, and I am pretty biased on Odyssey because of it, but the side content is just overwhelming imo. And, but this is a common issue with open-world games, I personally thought Black Flag's map was pretty lackluster. I mean, yes, the golden age of piracy is an intruiging setting (even though it's not really my cup of tea) and the cities and map in general, can be quite beautiful, but frankly, the islands just seem very repetitive at times, similarly to Odysseys military camps... and if I have to get another uncharted chest or animus fragment for the 100%, I'll throw a tantrum.

Rereading my comment I just see how much I dislike repetitive side content. Collecting chests, raiding camps that all look the same, etc. get away with that. But that's sadly a problem with Ubisoft games in general. I love AC and Far Cry. I love all their maps and the stories, but they somehow fuck it up by making me collect 466 chests (I'm looking at you, Far Cry 6). Honestly, I think GTA 5 made it best with the side content imo. It just feels natural there. You just don't run around and collect random chests, because why not, but you actually talk with people and do stuff that you could actually be doing irl (Like, not that you actually should, but you know what I mean, it seems natural.)
