So I was checking Game of the year list on Wikipedia and noticed that Assassin’s Creed was never Game of the Year.

Not on any list around the world did it reach the top. The first one felt very fresh, but it just did not feel complete. But the 2nd one was just an amazing game and that one got beaten on some lists by Uncharted 2 which is understandable, but also by Batman: Arkham Asylum which is basically inspired by AC.

Maybe they should just ditch the whole Animus plot. I wished that Valhalla and Black Flag were just about being a Viking and a Pirate

    But for me, it was always the annoying immersion killing part.

      Fair point. That was indeed a good reason. But IMHO an intro would’ve been enough to explain the boundaries of this simulation. Not a whole “mini-game” around it. But anyhow, it didn’t really kill the vibe, just temporary. Loved the games. Even Valhalla was nice. At least the beginning…
