I played Assassin’s Creed 1, and the 2 trilogy. But I have to say, I’m sick of the formula. Every AC game feels exactly like every other AC game, with the apparent exception of the ship-sailing/combat parts of AC4. At this point, there are just better open-world games than AC.
I like JRPGs. I’ve never played Persona (nor do I care to), but I loved Final Fantasy 7/8/9, Dragon Quest 8, Tales of Symphonia/Abyss, Kingdom Hearts, and Ni No Kuni. However, there are several JRPGs I’ve tried getting into but just can’t. Persona is like a JRPG mixed in with a crazy creepy angsty modern anime, so no thank you. I’m not into anime.
I definitely recommend Red Dead and Uncharted, though. Fantastic games.
