In this article, we shall go over the five best Assassin’s Creed games with stealth, looking at their mechanics and level design.
The Assassin’s Creed series sees you navigating historical locations and assassinating historical figures while doing so. Naturally, a dangerous task such as this demands stealth to pass through. Stealth has been a staple of the series from the very beginning, and it has been displayed proudly in various cinematic trailers over the years. The stealth has evolved over the course of the series, too, adding new mechanics, improving level design, introducing new weapons, and so much more.
With so many games to pick from, which ones are the best for stealth? We’re here to answer that question for you. In this article, we shall go over the five best Assassin’s Creed games with stealth.
1) Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood
Despite being a title from the early years of this long-running series, Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood features some of the best sneaking the series has seen. At the beginning of the game, Ezio is battered and bruised, and it is made very apparent that sneaking around is now his way of coping with an aging body. The game boasts tight level designs, sneaking through large buildings, stalking through rooftops, and dressing up for some social stealth. Despite being mechanically dated, the level design holds up and is a joy to play.
2) Assassin’s Creed Unity
The first game in the series to feature a dedicated crouch button, Assassin’s Creed Unity took its stealth very seriously. The game introduces large sandbox levels for its major assassinations, throwing you into massive maps and giving you the freedom to carry out the assassinations as you see fit. Arno comes equipped with various tools that allow him to engage from all ranges and make a quick escape with smoke if things get too heated. Take into consideration that combat is harder and enemies can overwhelm you; stealth really is the way to go.
3) Assassin’s Creed Origins
Assassin’s Creed Origins is the first game in the polarizing RPG trilogy of Assassin’s Creed. The RPG nature of the game brings forth the possibilities of various builds, including a stealth build. The game lets you invest skill points into stealth and archery elements, allowing you to be a lethal force striking from the shadows. The levels are large and can be approached from any angle, making stealth flexible and a test of both player skill and creativity. If you invest points into stealth and stealth gear, you’ll have a solid experience with AC Origins.
4) Assassin’s Creed Syndicate
Assassin’s Creed Syndicate takes the fundamentals of Assassin’s Creed Unity and builds upon them. The sandbox levels return, bigger than ever, with extra possibilities for cinematic kills should the player opt for them. The game also features two playable characters, Jacob and Evie Frye, with the former specializing in combat and the latter in stealth. Evie’s abilities expand the potential for stealth, with one of the abilities allowing her to become invisible entirely when still and kill like the Predator.
5) Assassin’s Creed Mirage
Assassin’s Creed Mirage was promised as a return to form, and a return to form it was, especially in the stealth department. To make it clear, the game’s combat is hard, and managing a crowd is nearly impossible. Mirage knows this and throws you a ton of tools to ensure you sneak by as you should. The levels are filled with dozens of enemies, often bundled up together. This way, Mirage actively encourages you not to engage or kill and sneak past instead like a ghost.
