Good Story lacking gameplay
I loved the story so much but the gameplay pales in comparison to the following AC titles.

Assassin's Creed®: Director's Cut
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.

Decent game, feels awful to play
Pretty much unplayable on Win11 and modern Nvidia hardware (RTX3000 series). Frequent stuttering and even more frequent freezes. Story-wise, it still holds up well. What doesn't hold up well at all is the gameplay, unfortunately. Also, I don't know if it has always been a localization problem or not, but the fact that for a lot of things you are told what "Action X" button does but not which button it actually is is pretty ridiculous. All in all, still a decent game, but it feels absolutely awful to play. Probably better to buy it just in case (especially if Ubisoft continues to leave it the only AC game unplayable on modern consoles), but then for the content itself watch videos. And then go straight into AC2.

A Classic!
Should not be anyones introduction to the series but a must play for fans. Tweaks needed: Make sure to turn on DSR in nvidia app/global graphics settings because this game looks unreal at 5k! also it doesnt support AA so this is needed. Game kept freezing for 5 seconds at a time, the fix is to disconnect from internet whenever you play it your welcome.

death loop
I tried doing the leap of faith then died. The game kept respawning me out of bounds in an endless death loop.
