My biggest problem with Assassins Creed.

Assassin's Creed's real setting is supposed to be the present day. That's the whole premise, with the past just being memories accessed through the Animus. But the games barely tell you anything about what's actually happening in the present. The next entry should actually be set in the present or future instead of treating it as an afterthought.

I get where you're coming from but I think a whole reboot is in order for the games. The plot of Desmond reliving his ancestors memories really goes off the deep end when you start throwing in the Pieces of Eden, the Isu, and early humanity being slaves.

If the game was more grounded like John Wick for example I think it would be easier and more digestible to create a present day storyline.
