AC2+ added maps to show where treasures were. AC:R's treasures were mostly supplies for the (new weapon type) that I rarely used.

I spent only 44 hours in 1, but 92 in 2, 82 in B and 56 in R. I recall not liking that in AC1, you would have stealth missions with stealth kills that always dropped you into the middle of a group of guards that you would need to escape. That was mostly changed in the later ones, with just a few in AC:R that forced such a condition.

There is a significant amount of non-story content I won't be touching in AC:R (I've uninstalled it already). A seemingly endless list of non-gameplay (I'm being vague due to your not having played) "missions" that give you more supplies, and some multiplayer stuff that for all I know is completely dead.

AC3 is going to wait, as game+DLC is still currently $50 on Steam, and the DLC seems to be what replaced the sequels, with much of it being real game content.
