For the last 16 years, Assassin's Creed has been one of Ubisoft's flagship franchises, and it's easy to see why. While having great stealth-action gameplay certainly helps, it's Assassin's Creed's core premise that's always made it stand out from the crowd. The notion of being able to go to completely different time periods, and follow completely new characters every entry is inherently exciting, and most Assassin's Creed games have used this premise to great effect. From Paris during the height of the French Revolution, to London during the reign of Queen Victoria, to Renaissance Italy, Assassin's Creed has been all over, but by far one of its most beloved settings is Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag's Golden Age of Piracy.
