Until they drifted away from the formula, turning too much (IMO) intro a standard open-world game.
So at around about the time of AC: origins, then.
I still played Origins and (forced my way through) Odyssey, but heard bad things about Valhalla.
By this time, I was also getting fed up with having to spend over a year just to complete the story, so skipped Valhalla completely.
So I felt that the back-to-basics approach of Mirage was exactly what was needed to revive my interest in the series. I've also heard that this was originally meant to be an expansion to Valhalla; truth be told I'm glad that they didn't go down that route as otherwise I would have missed this one out completely.
There's no mention - like, at all - of the Animus in this, which purports to tell the back-story of Basim, who was (apparently) a character in Valhalla. I'd no knowledge of that beforehand; thankfully it also felt like that wasn't needed.
