I think when I tried it originally I wasn’t into the controls and how they felt. I’m more forgiving these days so I wonder if I’d enjoy the series now? I love a good story.
Ubisoft fired the creator of Assassin’s Creed way back after the 2nd (and best) one released. After that, they’ve just been milking it and only useful idiots haven’t caught on yet.
I still recommend replaying the old ones. They were hit-or-miss depending on the person even back when they released, but I was one of they people that got hit hard.
The first one is one of the few games that actually has something to say for those paying attention.

You can watch the story on YouTube if you want. Other games did the formula better now. The “shadow of” games and horizon series are very similar gameplay loops done better.
I’m not sure about PS5, but the first 2 are available on PC. They’re pretty old now, so you shouldn’t need an expensive computer to play them.
You can download them for free at 1337x.to and use the free VPN at https://riseup.net/en/vpn to do it safely. Don’t forget that you can use a controller with a computer!

Black Flag was the 1st I played and the only one I enjoyed. Tried others and they were just ‘meh’.
(Why is a decent pirate/sailing game so hard to make? - almost 15 years later and still nothing seems to come close to what Black Flag offers)
If you’re in it for the story, stay far away.

That’s what I was wondering is should I play certain games and then skip others? I have a PS5, is it possible to play first at all?
