    Modern Assassin’s Creed games in a nutshell. Played Origins, it kept trying to convince me that stealth mattered but as long as you can time your dodges you can just run an army through. You’d clear areas a lot faster than sneaking around, too.

      Stealth has always been optional in Assassin’s Creed. The modern games have a lot of problems (the series really hasn’t been good since Black Flag) but that one in particular isn’t new. Trying to be stealthy makes every mission take twice as long, but imo it also makes them more fun.
