The Acolyte Podcast

I don't know about you, but I've always wanted to experience the Feudal period in Japan within the parameters of  Assassin's Creed since I joined the Brotherhood (the A.C. community). In 2020, a little game called  Ghost of Tsushima released that featured an experience that many fans had waited 13 years for. Some would say Ghost of Tsushima "scratched the itch" of a Fedual Japan period Assassin's...

Assassin's Creed has always had a major problem that it hasn't rectified, and that is throwing away major characters. As each game is released, they completely forget everything and everyone from the previous entry and miss out on potential "gold" to weave existing characters into stories, that obviously make sense within the timeline of the game. In this episode, I go into depth of why this is a...

Crossover Stories was a welcome surprise when it was announced and released back in late 2021. Traditionally, Assassin's Creed has not "crossovered" stories of main characters in multiple games, but in the post launch of Valhalla , we got to see a familiar character, from another game, to interact with. This has led to many discussions on other crossover stories that initially never came to fruiti...

This episode starts the " General Discussion " portion for Season 1 of "The Acolyte Podcast." Here, I breakdown my overall experience after completing the newest entry of the franchise, Assassin's Creed: Mirage . Please listen and enjoy!

Legacy of the First Blade was an expansion that released in 2019 for (that 2018 game which will not be named). Overall, this expansion had 3 episodes released and the first episode titled  "Hunted" was actually pretty good from a narrative standpoint. This episode specifically told the story of the first wielder of the iconic weapon of the Assassins, the Hidden Blade. Darius , who is one of the le...

Recording for  " The Acolyte Podcast"  began right after the rumor/leak of " Codename: Rift " which eventually became Assassin's Creed: Mirage . In this episode, I go over the info conveyed in the rumor/leak and give my thoughts on it. How much of it was accurate? Over the next few weeks and months, bonus episodes will be available in the lead up to the " General Discussion " part of Season 1 whic...

Assassin's Creed: Valhalla  is less traditional Assassin's Creed and more "Viking fantasy", even though there are elements to it, albeit not many, that I like about the game. Notably, the name of this very podcast was conceived from a certain dialouge from the game. Thanks for listening!

Odyssey does NOT deserve to have the "Assassin's Creed" name attached to it. This game is a travesty to not only RPGs but especially to the  Assassin's Creed brand too. I expose the devs who made this game in an infamous rant.

Just an FYI... Assassin's Creed: Origins is one of my FAVORITE games of all time. That may give away where it sits on my rankings but I just had to say it. Please give this episode a listen as to why I feel that way. Thanks for listening.

"Assassin's Creed: Syndicate" has a strange reputation. Some A.C. fans adore it, and many loathe it to no end. Where do I fall on that spectrum? Find out in this episode!

"Assassin's Creed: Unity "...a polarizing game to say the least. Despite it's numerous flaws, I quite enjoy my time with the game. The reason why?...you'll have to give it a listen to find out!

Assassin's Creed: Rogue was no doubt overshadowed by it's next gen counterpart in  "Assassin's Creed: Unity." Despite this, opinions within the community have been polarizing towards this game...some love it, some despise it. I, on the otherhand, recognize it's flaws but I enjoy most of what Rogue has to offer.

2013's  Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag remains one of the most highly rated entries in the franchise. If you ask most  Assassin's Creed fans, Black Flag has the best story, characters, exploration, and gameplay. Even though these opinions may be true, I see through its facade. Give it a listen to hear why I feel that way.

Assassin's Creed III is a very divisive game within the community. It serves as the ending to the Modern Day story that started with the first game, while setting up the "new" story to continue in subsequent years. And while there are things that annoy me about it, I don't believe it's the worst entry in the franchise. Check out where it places on my rankings list!

Assassin's Creed: Revelations has gone through a hell of a journey...from previously being the black sheep of its respective trilogy, to currently where it is now widely considered as a masterpiece and has garnered much more adoration in recent times. Find out where I place it on my Rankings list!

The immediate follow up to Assassin's Creed II , Brotherhood takes the formula of it's predecessor and greatly improves on it in almost every way...almost. Find out where it ranks on my Tier List in this episode.

The sequel to  "Assassin's Creed" is one of the most beloved games, not only in the franchise, but in the whole sphere of gaming. In this episode, I rank Assassin's Creed II for my Tier List and it doesn't appear where you might think it does...

Back to where it all began....In this episode, I give my thoughts on the game that started it all, and give my opinion as to how I feel about it and my first experience playing the O.G. Assassin's Creed . Please enjoy!
