Assassin’s Creed Origins the gameplay started getting repetitive very quickly. Even though I liked the ancient Egyptian settings and the beautiful graphics, I couldn’t follow the nonsensical plot.

Man, that was the only one of the newer style that I liked... Bayek was pretty cool, and it felt 'fresh'... it doesn't hurt that it ticked off two of my preferences: exploration and combat (say what you will about hiding in knee high grass, I love me some stealth). Some of the bits did rub me the wrong way, like no 1-hit kills, but I liked the weapon choices and combat options enough that I had a good time overall.

That being said, I can't for the life of me remember anything about the story of the game so... I guess I just turned that part of my brain off after a while.

The more recent ones went too far in terms of world size, so it went from "I wonder what's over that hill?" to "I'll never complete filling in this map so why even bother?"... which sucks, because Kassandra was pretty cool too (not sure how the viking character was done because I didn't even bother with that game after bouncing off Odyssey).
