Description
Assassin’s Creed® is a game that redefined the action-adventure genre. With photo-realistic graphics, an advanced physics model, and a nearly fanatical attention to detail, this title was able to begin a new chapter in gaming history. However, the excellent technical aspects are only half of the reason why it became so popular; the other half is the story.

While you technically play the game as Desmond Miles, the main focus of the game takes place elsewhere. The year is 1191: Jerusalem, the middle of the Third Crusade. You are a member of a mysterious order of assassins where you have trained your whole life to do one thing and one thing only – to kill. The recently growing influence of the Order of the Knights Templar disturbs the delicate balance of power in the region and therefore directly threatens The Brotherhood. The clash of the two most powerful organizations in Jerusalem at the time has the most unexpected consequences and triggers devastating events that threaten the world itself, and you – Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad – are in the middle of all this.
  • Well-constructed story that will pleasantly surprise you many times along the way.
  • Impressive level of interaction with the environment – crowds react to what you do and act accordingly.
  • Open world gameplay lets you to decide how and when to achieve objectives, where to go, and gives you nearly complete freedom to get there.

A timeless gem

I already played this game years ago when it first released, but being able to play it again in my more mature days, I can definitely say this game will have a special place in my heart. The graphics were amazing at the time and age very well, the cities already felt very lively with NPCs commenting every single move you make and reacting accordingly, and the atmosphere was spot on, especially with the soundtrack. The missions patterns where certainly redundant, but in a sense it added to the vibe "I'm an assassin and ma' job needs to be done son", with the aspect of contracts as a main story line. Overall it's not that bothering, but a little variety like out-of-contracts missions would have been the cherry on top. If you haven't played it, you definitely should, it certainly is a must play. P.S : the bonus file of the artwork needs to be redone, because some texts are visibly cropped, and some seem to be missing, as well as the bottom page indications (page n°, section of the artbook etc)

Perfect Game

There may be a remaster or a remake but this original version is just perfect. I love its mechanics and gameplay, along with the plot and sound quality, they remain faithful to the good game that it is, and the visual quality is also very pleasant. Accompanied by great optimization making this timeless wonder, whether to play again or on the first play, pleasure and satisfaction are the feelings that arouse in the player when enjoying this title.

The mediocre start to an amazing series.

Assassin's Creed 1 is not a great game. It's boring, slow, and repetitive. However, its successors, starting with Assassin's Creed 2 onwards, are excellent games. It's up to you whether you want to bother with Assassin's Creed 1. While this was originally a console game; the PC version is better and is the definitive version but is still a mediocre game due to the repetition. The PC version has more variety in the side missions that are required before each assassination, but I guarantee that the game is still going to seriously drag by the time you're halfway through. Still, I suggest getting it, if only because it sets up the story of Assassin's Creed 2, which is a great game that you owe to yourself to play. Trust me, AssCreed 2 really fixed many of the problems with the first game. Give it a shot if you have the money to blow, but don't expect the masterpiece that its successors were.
