I left the series around ~Assassin's Creed Revelations. Quite some years have passed, but the games still deliver a fulfilling experience.

In a preview for the new Assassin's Creed Shadows (Feudal Japan looks epic!) I saw an interesting feature. Activities on the map / bird vision are white dots and as a player you have to go explore them yourself to find out the location type. This sounds great in my head "oh yeah I don't want the game to tell me too much. I want to explore and discover things myself". As a tired father of a toddler playing Valhalla, I'm super glad it shows me which locations are what. I don't have the extra patience to go explore unless I know there is treasure waiting for me.
