Poll: What is an Assassin's Creed Game for you?
Markuz, June 25th, 2018


The Assassin’s Creed community has been growing for more than 10 years now. Some have left it and some have joined along the way. Because of that, the community itself is very diversified, with fans that have been following the franchise since 2007 and other equally respectable newcomers every year that choose to try a game of the franchise and fall in love with it.

With such a diversified community, obviously also comes a diversified set of opinions about each and every aspect of the franchise which, equally obviously, leads to ongoing discussions. It happens with every new release of the franchise, it happens every day and if you have followed the community on Twitter, on Reddit, on the forums and on every other social medium, you know what we are talking about.

This year was no different with the reveal of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and some of the elements that were announced about it, with a lot of discussions arising about the lore explanation for the dialogue choices / choice of the main character, about what is canon and what is not and about the fantasy / sci-fi elements of the game.

What permeated all of these debates - and many more - was and is an underlying discussion between a lot of fans about how AC has changed and evolved throughout the years and how the most recent games and especially Odyssey may or may not seem different from the initial chapters of the franchise and from… “what an AC game is”.

In fact, this is the gist of this whole article / survey. What is an AC game? As we mentioned before, the community is now so diversified and the opinions are so different among its members that we thought of having this survey to actually have an idea of what the community considers on average to be an AC game. In the survey you’ll be able to select more than one option and we suggest you to only select the options that you really feel are part of what an AC game is for you and avoid selecting the ones that you deem unnecessary. Leave a comment at the end of the page to let us know why you voted certain things and not other ones and let's try to understand what makes an Assassin's Creed game what it is for each and everyone of us!

So, without further ado, here is the survey!
