If all you've played is the first id urge u to try the ezio collection. They fixed alot of the clunkiness and repetitive nature of the 1st one. As i was on the same thought pattern when i played the first one. I took awhile to beat it cuz it was just boring ( movement and combat ), but 2nd id say is leaps past that. My 2 cents

Just beat Revelations yesterday. While the story was good, the movement felt very rigid and combat was very basic compared to modern 3rd person action games. Unless you really want to play the older games (pre-Unity) I recommend watching game movies on YouTube to enjoy the stories

So, I tried the first AC a number of years ago and didn't exactly love it. Curious if the game has evolved and worth investing, if so which bundle should I get?

You could get Black Flag and Unity for under $5 on CDKeys at some time. I saw Unity for $2.50 earlier today but not sure about Black Flag (which is my favorite in the series).

Might pick up some of the newer ones to play.

After a while of climbing high structures, syncing the map and doing the same 4-5 side missions it def got repetitive. What I loved were the assassinations and how each one required a different strategy and patience.

I'm starting the Ezio collection next, I heard he was a much better protagonist than Altair but I dont know why the hate for Altair he seemed perfect for the story they were trying to portray.

I liked odyssey so much better, the feel of it, the visuals, I spent so much time playing it and never got bored . But for $12 I might have to go back and try origins again before the new one comes out

There was just a lot more variety of gameplay with the Ezio games. Altair was fine as a protagonist, but the gameplay was extremely repetitive.

I took a break from the series after AC3 because it started to get too repetitive for me, I played 4 recently and the sailing and fleet building was a welcome distraction and it had a fun storyline though I skipped all of the sidequests as it was the same repetitive type missions that has plagued AC.

I got Origins for sale for $5 from gamestop and I'm finding that the RPG elements they've added and improved combat has vastly improved the gameplay and the storyline is good, the sidequests seem worthwhile from the 20 hours I've put in as they are no more repetitive than your standard action RPG. There's some roughness due to the changes (getting used to new controls and combat has been tough at times) that I'm hoping they have cleared up in Odyssey but I have heard that Odyssey is the better game.

While it is easy to think "ugh, another AC game?" the last couple and Vahalla are basically trying to emulate games like the Witcher. Even the leveling system in Origins is almost exactly the same.

The games haven't aged well. I'd only recommend Origins and Odyssey, and only if you already like the Ubisoft open world formula.
