15 Best Moments In Assassin's Creed History

5. The Minerva Moment

Assassin’s Creed is a bizarre series, combining time hopping historical shenanigans with weird precursor storylines that resemble the plot to Prometheus a little too much. And while it all works fine and dandy, no one expected for the ending of Assassin’s Creed II to suddenly introduce the gods themselves.

Serving as the connecting factor between the past and present, they are what makes the story work.
