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

    Is the animus still there in the newer games? I haven’t played a AC since origins and I don’t remember the animus but perhaps that story was so insignificant and boring that I have suppressed those parts.

    I wished Desmond’s story should have gotten more time or even a spin-off focusing only on Desmond.

      Sounds like you’re talking about the Animus as sections where the player isn’t in the historical period rather than what I mean, which is that the historical experience takes place in an in-universe simulation.
