I'm excited for the new one, and I'll buy it for sure but I'm not falling for the hype anymore.

Speaking of Ubisoft products I just bought FC: New Dawn. Need something new to play.

Can you play a AC game in any order?

Yeah I would say so. There's a modern-day backstory to the games but I think they've basically gotten rid of it the last few installments because nobody was a fan of it. If you've never played I would say skip AC1, honestly that was super repetitive and boring to the point I wasn't planning on buying AC2, but AC2 was fantastic (and probably my fav. game in the series). Brotherhood/Revelations are ok but forgettable, 3 is ok, Black Flag is probably my 2nd favorite in the series, and everything after that is forgettable. If you were gonna pick any of the recent ones I'd say go for Syndicate. The setting is London towards the end of the Industrial Revolution.

Ok thanks! I am still slugging through Days Gone
