Red Dead Redemption (both) are basically cowboy AC but instead of assassins/Templars, it’s just rival gangs in the old west. Even has ‘tracking mode/eagle vision,’ ‘Deadeye/VATS,’ and all that jazz.
The Batman Arkham games are good, though I’ve heard mixed things about Arkham Knight, very stealthy/assassin-y games with Detective/Eagle Vision and sneak takedowns.
If you’re into more exploitation based fantasy rpgs with good combat, Dragons Dogma/Dark Arisen is really good. Pick from warrior/mage/rogue/mix of any 2, and your combat changes based on that and your weapons/magics. Throw smaller enemies like goblins at each other, grab onto a griffin or cyclops to take out its wings or eye. First one is great but heard mixed things about the second, and mtx.

The read dead redemption comparison is so interesting. They would appear to be really similar, but AC is so much more fun to me than RDR. Especially RDR 2 is so serious, and I really miss the fun power fantasy of AC in traversal, mission structure, combat and so on.
