The Assassin's Creed franchise has been around for many years. Here are some of the titles in it that have the most side quests.

In the original Assassin’s Creed, the line between combatants and civilians was clearly defined. The first game used its lore as an excuse to prevent players from killing random civilians, citing any unendorsed killing as a disruption of prewritten history. In Shadows, the distinction is murkier. And the kills, messier.

Shadows is one of the top five best-selling games in the US this year. However, that's not enough to protect Ubisoft from stock market declines.
