Hi guys, I have the hunger for more history games. I have to say that usually I'm not a huge AC fan, but last summer I played Odyssey and I'm a huge ancient history nerd and I think that the game and the period were represented very well. (The Story was kinda meh, but serviceable). What other AC game would you recommend for me to play next? What other titles are the most like Odyssey?

The original one and the two Ezio games which followed are both worth playing. The American Revolution one ran on rails a bit too much to be fun.

I really want to like AC 3 but I just can't. I'm a big history nerd and it kinda upsets me that I don't like the game.

I've bought Origins and Odyssey. I've started Origins a couple of times and haven't started Odyssey. I keep getting distracted by new games. My entire library is like that. Started and unfinished or waiting to start.

You can have reenactment of actual historical events with your character inserted as the hero, or you can have a vivid open world, but not both. AC 3 goes for the former and has the vibe of being embarrassed of being a lowly entertainment product and aspiring to be one of the worthy but dry educational “games” you’d get to play on the school computers.

As someone from Britain, I never got the educational vibe. I mostly got "is this a reference to something?" as various characters showed up. My knowledge of American history starts in the 1920s, mostly.
