So, you want to leap into the Animus and explore history through the eyes of an Assassin? Excellent choice! But with a sprawling franchise like Assassin's Creed, figuring out where to start (or continue) can be trickier than picking a Templar out of a crowd. Don't worry, we've got you covered.
There are two main ways to approach playing the games: by release date or chronologically within the Assassin's Creed universe. For the purest experience, many recommend release order, as the meta-narrative (the story happening in the present day) evolves with each game. This ensures you experience the gameplay advancements and narrative reveals as they were intended.
However, if you're a stickler for historical accuracy within the game's lore, playing chronologically is an option. Just be warned, this might jump you around in terms of gameplay mechanics and present-day storyline.
Ultimately, the best way to play Assassin's Creed is the way *you* enjoy it most! Happy assassinating!
