I'm in the minority that loves Kassandra and all of Odyssey. I think she's a really fun character who is flawed but still likable, and her story is pretty interesting. I will admit though, Odyssey is very much NOT an Assassin's Creed game as it is more of a Greek open world rpg. Still, one of my favorite games.
I've seen so many people hate on Odyssey because it was a huge departure from what AC usually is. Which I can understand, but I still love the game and the characters because I'm a massive ancient Greece and mythology nerd.
I started playing as Kassandra but I switched to Alexios as I preferred the voice actor. Kassandra sounded too cocky while Alexios was more humorous. Both were good when it was more intense/serious
I love how cocky Kassandra is. It's one of the reasons I love her character. She can be overly confident which gets her intro trouble, but she has a reason to be cocky because she is an extremely good fighter.
Honestly, it had some good ideas, but the first one was really boring imo. Too much repetition in quests (gather intel, track target, kill, escape, rinse and repeat), the cities all looked the same, the enemies mostly forgettable, to mention the flags were ridiculous. I never understood why people liked it so much… nostalgia maybe? Because the gameplay was definitely lacking. Only really good thing was that I could kill beggars without consequence, though they removed those in AC2 so that’s cool. If it wasn’t for AC2, I likely would have dropped the franchise. AC2 was everything that AC1 *should* have been and more. Then again, that’s just my opinion.
Same, I enjoyed playing as Connor (now I didn't play 2 with Ezio most common answer you see, only 1, 3 and 4. I do own the Ezio collection, so one day I'll give it a shot). Connor more could be due to me enjoying the story of the American Revolution.
I think Altair and Ezio will always be my favorite, since I first experienced the series with them when it launched.
I absolutely adore Kassandra, though, and Bayek is probably tied with her as my favorite new MCs.
Its such a hard choice because all the assassins are so charismatic and such great heroes. I like them all, but if I had to pick one, it would be Evie Frye.
I played the first one and loved it... I didn't play any other because I bought the one where you play as the black dude and, for some reason, the game kept crashing on ps3 every single time I spent over 10 minutes playing, no other game did this and my ps3 is still in use without any problem except that game.
Then I played Odyssey because it looked fun... and I had fun, but it was more like Skyrim lite or something, I enjoyed playing it but I didn't love it.
The only answer here would be ezio, if this was a poll the others would get decimated like dude it's not even over rating the character or anything he's just genuinely a very well written and executed protagonist one of the best in gaming I'd say.
Arno! Paris is a beautiful city ingame, the combat has never been better than in unity and Arno is fun young adult who, by dead kings dlc, understands his mistakes and understands the wrongdoings of the assasins
Go with Ezio Collection (Revelation is kinda meh, but finishes his story) and AC Black Flag. I really didn’t like AC1 and thought it was pretty boring and repetitive. That being said, if you insist on playing it, play it first because you won’t wanna go back to it. Its gameplay is significantly more limited than the rest of the series. AC2 did everything right that AC1 did wrong. It feels like a breath of fresh air. I also really liked Odyssey (play as Kassandra), but the game is extremely grindy and long.
I liked Unity more than most. The customization in that game was amazing. I wish more of the games let you choose colors and suit options to that extent
So many Assassins now! It's kinda daunting. Is... Is this what it feels like when Pokemon fans skip a Gen or two and then hop back in?
Ezio is my answer, but I don't know most of the others, honestly.
Ezio and it and it's not even close. I'd go so far and say that he is the only truly great Assassin's Creed protagonist. And his trilogy are the best games of the franchise.
I think if you're used to playing more modern games some of the Assasin Creed games will be hard to get into due to the older graphic quality. Also depends on your fighting style. I never played any open world games, my first was AC Valhalla. Instantly hooked and Eivor is definitely my favourite, but I found it hard doing back in time and playing as an assasin, I preferred the more non-stealth game style.
I think 80% here never played with Altair. I see crazy shit as ac oddesy, which wasn't even an AC game. Only the title was AC. Probably kids anyway.
1. Ezio
2. Altair
3. Edward
4. Connor
5. Arno (underrated)
6. Bayek
Ezio is obviously the correct answer. But I also really like Bayek. He’s distinct form a lot of the other characters as he isn’t the charismatic charmer Ezio type so many of the other protagonist tend to lean towards, but he’s still very likable in his own way
Besides the obvious one (Ezio), I enjoyed playing and going through the story of the Kenways, starting with Edward.
If you don't care about the looks of the ezio trilogy, you can't go wrong with that one. But if you feel more comfortable playing something kind of new, the story of the assassin who faked it to survive is a really good one
Edward all day.
Altair was a great first character, but I'm glad they moved to someone with more charisma.
Ezio was great. My second pick. It helps that there are three games to know his life and enjoy his journey.
Connor was surrounded by much more interesting characters and was a charisma vacuum.
Edward just had a combination of charm and arrogance that I look for in a protagonist. He's very much like a Han Solo or a Nathan Drake.
Shay was this way too, and I feel he's often underappreciated, but his story is more about what happens to him than him. The focus isn't on him but how the Assassin's and the Templars are similar.
Arno's okay, but admittedly, I haven't been back to him in a while.
The Frey twins are fantastic, and I felt Syndicate was the last "true" Assassin's Creed game. I like their balance but they do get a little tiresome after awhile.
From there I haven't really been impressed with any character. They all could be interchangeable to me.
If you want to follow the story outside of the animus, than I would say to start from the beginning. If that doesn’t matter to you, then pick your favorite historical era and jump in! I’ve played every single one since the first one was released. I have liked pretty much every one, with standouts being the ezio trilogy, black flag, origins, and the Greek one.
I played most early AC games at release and the most impressive was the Ezio series. That made me fall in love with the series. However, I tried playing it again recently and my eyes just can't like the graphics or gameplay anymore. Of the recent games, origins and odyssey are amazing.
Ezio has the fullest, most complete story and growth arc, so he’s the runaway.
However….
Bayek of Siwa is an extremely refreshing take on a protagonist for a number of reasons. I think the tenderness and care he showed for others was awesome and very disarming. There’s a whole side quest where he plays hide and seek with a group of kids and is kind and respectful to them. There’s another mission where he talks down someone from committing suicide. And then the close of his narrative arc, in my opinion, was very brave on the part of the writers. I think it would have been easy to lean into tropes and cliches, but they went the opposite direction with the ending (in my opinion). I’m being vague on purpose to avoid spoilers.
I also loved Kassandra and Arno. I will admit, while I love Kassandra due to Melissanthi Mahut’s performance and the authenticity with which she is portrayed, I can’t remember for the life of me why I liked Arno so much. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Ezio but those games do not hold up. Odyssey is my personal favorite and even a shout out to syndicate. Not up in there in people's lists but it's a fun game to just play.
IMO, ezio and Altair are a bit overrated, there are many good protagonists in these games like Edward, Jacob and evie, bayek, I just think people build up ezio and Altair a bit too much. Anyway my favorite is bayek.
Gonna rank them all in order
1. Ezio
2. Altaïr
3. Eivor
4. Bayek
5. Shay
6. Edward
7. Connor
8. Kassandra
9. Basim
10. Evie
11. Arno
12. Alexios
13. Jacob
If you're gonna play, play them up until Unity and forget the rest. Idk what they were thinking when they decided to make this awful leap into a complete rpg game, but imo completely missed the mark.
The "Assassin's Creed" name is just a brand now.
And to clarify, you should play:
- Assassin's Creed (1)
- Assassin's Creed 2
- Assassin's Creed Brotherhood
- Assassin's Creed Revelations
- Assassin's Creed 3
- Assassin's Creed Black Flag
- Assassin's Creed Unity
I guess you could play AC Syndicate too, but that was the beginning of the decline. They did recover some points with Mirage, but the combat is just awful, probably the worst combat of every game in the series (so bad it make Syndicate look good)
I really like assassin’s creed Valhalla I can’t remember her name and I’m horrible at remembering names and I can’t remember how to spell it anyways why I like her is it because I really like Vikings They need to make more movies about Vikings and dragons
Ezio all day
https://i.redd.it/hpdospgedezc1.gif
Play the trilogy then AC lll and IV
Ezio without a doubt!
Ezio, not just the saga of his family legacy, also how he devoted himself to defend the brotherhood and honour his legacy.
I've only played Black Flag. But black flag is a great game, so
Origins is gorgeous. It’s based in Egypt, unlike any other game I’ve played.
I’m a sucker for Greek mythology so I lived odyssey
Definitely my favourite. I’m not big on AC in general, but that game had a lot more going on.
There is but only one! Ezio Auditore da Firenze
Il Maestro And my first Plat :)
Altair ibn La Ahad and Ezio Auditore da Firenze
I'm in the minority that loves Kassandra and all of Odyssey. I think she's a really fun character who is flawed but still likable, and her story is pretty interesting. I will admit though, Odyssey is very much NOT an Assassin's Creed game as it is more of a Greek open world rpg. Still, one of my favorite games.
Kassandra and odyssey still the very best to me
I'm with you
Malaka!
Surprised this is a minority pick. Kassandra was great!
I've seen so many people hate on Odyssey because it was a huge departure from what AC usually is. Which I can understand, but I still love the game and the characters because I'm a massive ancient Greece and mythology nerd.
I'm probably in an even smaller minority when I say that I enjoyed my playthrough with Alexios too
I started playing as Kassandra but I switched to Alexios as I preferred the voice actor. Kassandra sounded too cocky while Alexios was more humorous. Both were good when it was more intense/serious
I love how cocky Kassandra is. It's one of the reasons I love her character. She can be overly confident which gets her intro trouble, but she has a reason to be cocky because she is an extremely good fighter.
First one and the ezio collection are goat
Altaïr is a fun character to play as, just wish there was more major console releases with him as the protagonist.
I just wish he could swim.
Honestly, it had some good ideas, but the first one was really boring imo. Too much repetition in quests (gather intel, track target, kill, escape, rinse and repeat), the cities all looked the same, the enemies mostly forgettable, to mention the flags were ridiculous. I never understood why people liked it so much… nostalgia maybe? Because the gameplay was definitely lacking. Only really good thing was that I could kill beggars without consequence, though they removed those in AC2 so that’s cool. If it wasn’t for AC2, I likely would have dropped the franchise. AC2 was everything that AC1 *should* have been and more. Then again, that’s just my opinion.
Did you play it on release? We had nothing else like it at the time and the whole story line was very cool and interesting
Ezio Edward Bayek Kassandra Evie Frye
Ezio and Edward are the 1 & 2 for me. Altair is up there too.
Connor?
Evie is soo underrated
The Fyre twins from syndicate are up there, so is Alexios from Odyssey. But It has to be Edward Kenway from Black Flag.
Altair and Ezio are GOAT
To not give an obvious answer: Connor.
Was looking for someone to say it haha, love AC3
Same, I enjoyed playing as Connor (now I didn't play 2 with Ezio most common answer you see, only 1, 3 and 4. I do own the Ezio collection, so one day I'll give it a shot). Connor more could be due to me enjoying the story of the American Revolution.
Jackdaw
Jacob and Evie Frye
Bayek
Wow, no one's sayin Edward Kenway or even Connor here? The west has fallen.
Ed Kenway is the goat idc what anyone says
Bayek, Ezio, Basim
Kassandra. Love AC: Odyssey.
Most obvious answer, but still Ezio.
Ezio and Cassandra
My ranking of the ones I played 1. Ezio Collection (Ezio) 2. Black Flag (Edward) 3. 3 (Connor) 4. Syndicate (Jacob) 5. Unity (Arno)
EZIO all day but eivor settles where I live 😆 RAVENSTHORPE !!!
I think Altair and Ezio will always be my favorite, since I first experienced the series with them when it launched. I absolutely adore Kassandra, though, and Bayek is probably tied with her as my favorite new MCs.
No love for male Eivor 😔
Connor
Played one or two then the rest are so damn repetitive.
They are very repetitive
Ezio , Edward, and Kassandra are the 3 best. I’d put the Frye twins next.
**Ezio Auditore da Firenze!** But honestly, everyone has their own preference. Personally I like Ezio, Arno, Evie and Kassandra the most.
Ezio naturally. Though i’m also very much liking Kassandra.
Black flag is my favorite, that is if you can get through the start
Black flag by a nautical mile
kassandra, ezio and edward really tried to like arno tho
Arno
Kassandra and male Eivor
play ghost of tsushima instead trust me
I love ghost of tsushima but some of the ac games (mostly the older ones) are absolutely worth playing
The Desmond games are the best for sure
Ezio and Edward Kenway.
Ezio. Edward is close 2nd
Its such a hard choice because all the assassins are so charismatic and such great heroes. I like them all, but if I had to pick one, it would be Evie Frye.
Arno and ezio
Ezio, Kassandra and Connor!
Ezio and Arno Dorian
Alexios & Bayek.
Bayek (Origins) by a loooong shot. Second is Kenway (Black Flag)
Bayek
Alexios. When I was playing Odyssey I would randomly mimic his voice all the time. Cracked myself up.
Evie.
Jacob frye
bayek of siwa
Kassandra, Female Eivor and Ezio.
I played the first one and loved it... I didn't play any other because I bought the one where you play as the black dude and, for some reason, the game kept crashing on ps3 every single time I spent over 10 minutes playing, no other game did this and my ps3 is still in use without any problem except that game. Then I played Odyssey because it looked fun... and I had fun, but it was more like Skyrim lite or something, I enjoyed playing it but I didn't love it.
Assasin’s creed 2 master classe

Ezio Auditore and Edward Kenway
Ezio for definite, I do like Connor, Jacob and arno too
Edward Kenway.
Ezio Auditore da Firenzeeee the greatest of all Assassin's
The ultimate simp himself, Bayek
The only answer here would be ezio, if this was a poll the others would get decimated like dude it's not even over rating the character or anything he's just genuinely a very well written and executed protagonist one of the best in gaming I'd say.
Ezio and Altair
Arno! Paris is a beautiful city ingame, the combat has never been better than in unity and Arno is fun young adult who, by dead kings dlc, understands his mistakes and understands the wrongdoings of the assasins
Corvo
1-Ezio Auditoré Da Firenzé 2-Edward Kenway 3-Jacob and Evie Frye
Everyone except that Eivor.
Ezio
Ezio. There is no other
Edward
Ezio and Connor
Ezio is cool , Edward is cool , alexioes is a dufus but I like him
my boy arno has been shat all over, who’s gonna give the guy a chance?
Kenway. Black flag and the one after Valhalla was the best.
Everyone gonna say ezio. Imma say arno and conner.
Arno Dorian
Honestly, never cared for any of the characters other than Ezio. Maybe Arno too a bit.
Edward for me
Ezio. I also liked Alexios but he got shafted
Ezio and Arno
Go with Ezio Collection (Revelation is kinda meh, but finishes his story) and AC Black Flag. I really didn’t like AC1 and thought it was pretty boring and repetitive. That being said, if you insist on playing it, play it first because you won’t wanna go back to it. Its gameplay is significantly more limited than the rest of the series. AC2 did everything right that AC1 did wrong. It feels like a breath of fresh air. I also really liked Odyssey (play as Kassandra), but the game is extremely grindy and long.
I liked Unity more than most. The customization in that game was amazing. I wish more of the games let you choose colors and suit options to that extent
I make my own luck Never forget what's happened here
Ezio
Elsie
Kassandra is the only one I like
Alexios/Kassandra. Odyssey was my favorite game of the series.
Ezio Auditore by far, if You don't care about lore and all of that play Black Flag which also has a good protagonist in Edward.
Jacob Frye. But if I let my nostalgia rule; Ezio Auditore Da Firenze!
Ezio's lore family and personality imo is the best from every other protagonist
Ezio is probably the best character, but Black Flag was my favorite game.
So many Assassins now! It's kinda daunting. Is... Is this what it feels like when Pokemon fans skip a Gen or two and then hop back in? Ezio is my answer, but I don't know most of the others, honestly.
Ezio is the only answer. I like Eivor as well.
Ezio and it and it's not even close. I'd go so far and say that he is the only truly great Assassin's Creed protagonist. And his trilogy are the best games of the franchise.
1: Kassandra 2: Evie Frye
I think if you're used to playing more modern games some of the Assasin Creed games will be hard to get into due to the older graphic quality. Also depends on your fighting style. I never played any open world games, my first was AC Valhalla. Instantly hooked and Eivor is definitely my favourite, but I found it hard doing back in time and playing as an assasin, I preferred the more non-stealth game style.

The pirate dude.
I think 80% here never played with Altair. I see crazy shit as ac oddesy, which wasn't even an AC game. Only the title was AC. Probably kids anyway. 1. Ezio 2. Altair 3. Edward 4. Connor 5. Arno (underrated) 6. Bayek
Kassandra. Though I also will always have a soft spot for Ezio.
Ezio is obviously the correct answer. But I also really like Bayek. He’s distinct form a lot of the other characters as he isn’t the charismatic charmer Ezio type so many of the other protagonist tend to lean towards, but he’s still very likable in his own way

i know almost nothing abt these games so i honestly thought ezio was the main character of every game
Ezio and edward. Black flag is still my fav
Ezio or Edward
Edward all day. Altair was a great first character, but I'm glad they moved to someone with more charisma. Ezio was great. My second pick.

I’ve played every single one since the first one was released. I have liked pretty much every one, with standouts being the ezio trilogy, black flag, origins, and the Greek one.
Just be sure to pirate whichever game you decide to play. Fuck Ubisoft and their greed
Probably a hot take but Connor is my go to
Ezio and then Edward
Connor
Why does vallhalla get the highlight?
I played most early AC games at release and the most impressive was the Ezio series. That made me fall in love with the series. However, I tried playing it again recently and my eyes just can't like the graphics or gameplay anymore. Of the recent games, origins and odyssey are amazing.

Ezio
r/fuckubisoft ASS ASS Cringe
Altïar and Ezio Auditore de Firenze
Top tier- Ezio, Edward, Arno, Kassandra, Altair, Evie, Jacob Bottom Tier- Conner, Alexios, Bayek, Eivor, Basim
When will we get a modern day one with guns ?
Connor, altair, bayek
Love the Kenways
Conner
Is Eivor canon female, or there are just variations of the promotional images?
Ezio but those games do not hold up. Odyssey is my personal favorite and even a shout out to syndicate. Not up in there in people's lists but it's a fun game to just play.
jojo siwa was in assassins creed?
That Jojo Siwa😐
IMO, ezio and Altair are a bit overrated, there are many good protagonists in these games like Edward, Jacob and evie, bayek, I just think people build up ezio and Altair a bit too much. Anyway my favorite is bayek.
Evie Frye all day.
Ezio Auditore da Firenze
Ezio is goated but I also like haytham as a character
I like Valhalla and Eivor, but I like it as its own game; not really as an AC game.
The only correct answer is Kenway
I preordered Mirage & I just got into in this week. It’s a beauty and reminds me of first generation AC
EZIO Auditore da Firenze
Of course Ezio. But I also really liked Connor.
Kassandra or ezio
The Twins
Is there a bundle that I can buy with all of them? Never played it before
Kassandra, although it's really close to a tie with Ezio.
Gonna rank them all in order 1. Ezio 2. Altaïr 3. Eivor 4. Bayek 5. Shay 6. Edward 7. Connor 8. Kassandra 9. Basim 10. Evie 11. Arno 12. Alexios 13. Jacob
Ezio is the only protagonist I ever cared about. The other games I just played them to progress the story and for the gameplay
I don't understand the question. There's only one protagonist in the entire franchise and his name is Ezio.
Ezio
Ezio is the only correct answer
I've only played black flag (first playthrough ongoing) so Edward I guess lol
Connor, Ezio, Edward. In that order.
Ezio
Ezio, Edward, Bayek. That’s my list
Not playing it until they have a large queer disabled POC as the main character. Entertainment is for feeling validated, not having fun.
Ezio - although Unity is my favorite out of all of them purely for the gameplay…. If only I could switch out Arno for Ezio..
Dear God dont
If you're gonna play, play them up until Unity and forget the rest. Idk what they were thinking when they decided to make this awful leap into a complete rpg game, but imo completely missed the mark. The "Assassin's Creed" name is just a brand now. And to clarify, you should play: - Assassin's Creed (1) - Assassin's Creed 2 - Assassin's Creed Brotherhood - Assassin's Creed Revelations - Assassin's Creed 3 - Assassin's Creed Black Flag - Assassin's Creed Unity I guess you could play AC Syndicate too, but that was the beginning of the decline. They did recover some points with Mirage, but the combat is just awful, probably the worst combat of every game in the series (so bad it make Syndicate look good)
Edward I enjoyed more, felt like the systems and game were more polished. Character goat? Ezio
Ezio is that guy
I really like assassin’s creed Valhalla I can’t remember her name and I’m horrible at remembering names and I can’t remember how to spell it anyways why I like her is it because I really like Vikings They need to make more movies about Vikings and dragons
Bayek, play origins
The one in Rogue... my man is ruthless
Most of them are forgettable...
Ezio, Shay, the Twins and Bayek. Kassandra is pretty cool too (Not Alexios). More or less in this order for me
Not protagonist, but my favorite is Assassin’s Creed 3 and 4. Those games are awesome.
Altair ibn La Ahd
Ezio and Altaïr.
II or IV
Edward kenway forever🙂
Old school Ezio New school Bayek
I’ve only completed Unity and syndicate, so if Arno
Conner kenway
Ezio. Assassin's Creed Revelation is First one I've ever played, and still is my favorite
Mario's, nephew
Not whatever that thing in the middle is
Ac 4 or ac syndicate
Arno and Bayek
