Assassin's Creed (series)

Assassin's Creed is an action-adventure videogame series, developed by Ubisoft, beginning in 2007 with Assassin's Creed. Spanning multiple games, books and movies, the series is known for weaving historical settings into its overarching storyline of a shadow war between two factions; the Assassin Brotherhood and the Templar Order.

The franchise is the favorite series of the founder of Glitch Hunter, Adam Robertson.

At first intending to simply play through each game, Adam set himself a challenge when the latest game at the time, Assassin's Creed: Valhalla, was announced. Deciding to make AC his priority for GH until he finished Valhalla, he hoped to finish the stories of all the main games before it's release. However, despite his efforts, he only managed to make it to Assassin's Creed: Syndicate before Valhalla 's release.

So far, Adam has completed the story modes of Assassin's Creed, Assassin's Creed II, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, Assassin's Creed: Revelations, Assassin's Creed III, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, Assassin's Creed: Rogue, Assassin's Creed: Unity, Assassin's Creed: Syndicate, Assassin's Creed: Origins, Assassin's Creed: Liberation & Assassin's Creed: Freedom Cry,Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China,Assassin's Creed Chronicles: India & Assassin's Creed Chronicles: Russia.

Adam's Marathon
On April 30th, 2020, Adam watched the announcement trailer for Valhalla, and he decided that he'd complete his playthroughs of all main series Assassin's Creed games in anticipation for the game's release. This marathon began the same night, with the third episode of his series on the original Assassin's Creed. At first, Adam would only play the game on Saturdays and Sundays, but soon realized that this wouldn't get him very far into the series. He would then make his uploads more frequent during the week, which helped somewhat. It was only till the last episode of Assassin's Creed II, and the beginning of the Brotherhood playthrough, that he made the final change to his schedule; daily uploads.

Due to making the switch to uploading daily, Adam began to make rapid progress through the series, and he began to have hope he'd finish the series. However, the exhaustion of doing nightly work for GH began to hit Adam, and his performance for the games began to suffer as a result, most notably in the 5th episode of his Unity playthrough, when he snapped after dying in a mission, and committed a 'rage quit' from the game.

Despite feeling exhausted, Adam pushed on with his series, completing Unity and moving onto Syndicate, thinking it would be an easy finish. But he had forgotten two things; the game's Sequences are long, and Sequence 8, the penultimate Sequence of the game, is locked behind a secret objective; 3 Boroughs of London need to be liberated for the Sequence to be unlocked. These, coupled with Adam's growing sour attitude due to his exhaustion and constant failures at missions, didn't help matters, and eventually, 2 days before the release of Valhalla, he admitted defeat, and promised to at least finish Syndicate before calling off his work. However, this didn't happen, as he put the series on hiatus after that episode, and took a small break (beginning on November 9th) from Glitch Hunter to recover from the marathon, eventually returning to the channel on December 30th with the 1st episode of his Slime Rancher playthrough. At the time of admitting defeat, Syndicate had 6 episodes.

Despite failing his goal with the marathon, Adam is satisfied with his work, as he said to Scott that he wanted to at least finish Assassin's Creed: Rogue before finishing the series. He has since returned to the series after a second small break, his passion for Assassin's Creed restored after taking some time to play other games, most notably the Alice series.

During his marathon, Adam completed the stories of Assassin's Creed, Assassin's Creed II, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, Assassin's Creed: Revelations, Assassin's Creed III, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, Assassin's Creed: Rogue & Assassin's Creed: Unity, over a total of 62 episodes, thus making Assassin's Creed the franchise with the most episodes on the Glitch Hunter channel, despite Adam not even coming close to completing the franchise.
