10 Video Games We LOVE (But Nobody Understands)

10. Assassins Creed Series

Right before the first Assassin's Creed's release, rumours sparked that the game actually took place in modern day, and all the gameplay we'd seen in trailers was played via in-game memories of the protagonist's ancestors.

And true to the rumours, that was the case. Everything took placed inside a machine known as the Animus, which allows you to possess the memories of ancestors and live out their lives - in this particular case being assassins.

This isn't even the part we don't understand.

We could all buy into this premise. It was a bit hard to swallow, but it worked fine enough. What did bend our brains was the idea of otherworldly gods pulling all the strings in the background.

Trying to explain it all here would be an article in itself, but the larger picture in Assassins Creed involved gods who were bringing about the destruction of civilisation.

This all culminated in a lacklustre finale in Assassins Creed 3, but many of us were still left with questions. Since then there's been multiple entries and we feel further away from the truth than we did then. In fact, I don't even know what Ubisoft knows what to do with the modern day story.

Fundamentally, the base story for each iteration proved to be incredible fun and rewarding experiences, but that modern day story? What WAS that?!
