Reply to comment by IsSecretlyABird in I want to get into the Hitman series and Assassin's Creed series. Where should I start? by Shockday28

Will I be missing out on lore if I do so?

It might be worth reading a synopsis of the AC1 plot to understand what is happening with the modern day storyline at the start of 2, but I wouldn’t play it first. AC1 is a fun game in its own way but it has a lot of weird repetitiveness in the way missions need to be completed that was streamlined in later games. Personally I played AC: Black Flag first as It was the newest when I started playing, then went back and started the series in order with AC1 and it was pretty jarring.

L take.

The lore is the best part. Ancient civilization who predicted the future to send a message to modern day via a message to a distant predecessor, with ancient societies battling over the relics they left behind and are behind some of the most momentous moments in history is cool.

Ya'll can cry about modern day segments but Unity and Syndicate are on nobodies top lists and they cut out the modern day stuff.
