Story-wise, in my opinion, no game beats the first Assassin's Creed's focused story. So many AC stories kinda meander around and nothing happens through long stretches of time or seemingly time sensitive things take years before anything happens (Brotherhood's "I going to plant a seed." and the whole thing with Cesare escaping comes to mind).

There's rarely any sense of time progression, yet years pass by between sequences and memories and they keep talking like they're still having the same talks as last time. (In ACII in particular stuff like this happens.)
