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

It's finally happened: Assassin's Creed Shadows is going full meta. Naoe and Yasuke's journey is still a story within a story, but this time, it's framed through the Animus Hub. You, the player, are using the Animus – not Layla, Loki, or anyone else – and that means our perception of the past could well be manipulated.

While Assassin's Creed has changed drastically over the years, the lack of one feature feels like a massively missed opportunity for the series.
