From being one of my absolute favourite games of all-time to one of my most hated, barely within the span of a few years. Assassin's Creed 1 wowed us with its historical Middle-Eastern premise and refreshing gameplay mechanics. The series peaked with Brotherhood but Revelations and onwards it went on a rapid downward spiral. What started off as a pure assassination game subsequently veered towards tomb raiding, micro-management and environment exploration. It didn't help that gameplay was precisely the same in every release, with minor incremental changes. The franchise lost focus and has now been reduced to becoming an annual cash cow for its parent company, Ubisoft.
It has reached a point where I purposely avoid wasting time reading news about the next Assassin's Creed game. What a waste of potential!
Edit: I'm calling dibs on Call of Duty being mentioned underneath my post
