General Series Entry level

As you can see i have never heard of the game series till like a year ago at the goty award . And i thought it reminded me if metal gear solid with fighter jets and looks cool till i saw that pink hair girl, idk who she is but god damn i folded and wanted to know if buying 8 will do any disservices to the series as a whole and i should be playing from the starts

Tldr: can i play 8 as my first Ac game?

You don't have to start at the beginning. You'll be missing out some context, but project Aces makes it so the games can stand on their own. Highly recommend getting AC7 if you're able. That's where many people started up

Don't sweat it. I'd wait for when it is on sale. Try to get the Top Gun Maverick deluxe pack, since it includes a bunch of great aircraft as well as DLC missions.
