Great Game

First of all understand that this game is not the same as the one on XBOX. One of the largest complaints people had was the limited variety of missions. Ubisoft listened and in this version they almost tripled the variety of missions. Most likely if you only want to get through the game and don't care about completion you won't really even notice the repetitiveness. The combat is easy because your character can easily counter and insta-kill most enemies, but that's ok because the main premise of the game is not to get into fights in the first place. The story takes a while to develop so don't expect thrills and cliffhangers-except at the end. While this game doesn't have a gripping story, the end definetly hooked me on the series-and believe me the rest of the series is well worth getting hooked on in every way The setting is amazing with an accurate rendition of third crusade middle east, filled with tons of people that always seem to be living their own lives-they never seem to be set pieces or static. So. Great setting, pretty good mechanics, and the first game of one of my favorite game series. Definetly worth the money.

Ahead of it's time

No DLC, No Microtransactions, No Inventory, No Gigantic Open World with a ton of empty space, No RPG Elements, No Bloat. True Assassin Action This game still feels good to play after all this time, The cutscenes are done excellently You can turn off all the HUD and still be able to play without problems Main complaints are the crazy Pop-In / LOD, everything will just appear right in your eyes when traveling even on max settings. There is no solution (yet) Repetitiveness / Easy. The counter and blocks are overpowered, making combat a cakewalk. The same NPC dialogue is heard ALL the time, it gets annoying really, and the act of doing certain actions over and over again... I recommend installing the EaglePatchAC1 to get the most stable experience, Including fixing a gameplay issue and a freezing issue

The first from the series

Even though I did not finish the game I decided to write this. For the time of its making the game looks very nice and it introduces very interesting concepts of using the space. Meaning; climbing, running on buildings, horse riding etc. Whole idea of the game is also nice and the feeling of medieval middle east and views are great. But after completing first part in first city it somehow becomes same. Honestly after about 30 climbed towers, I did not want to do it any more no matter the view. The same for saving citizens etc. Combat mechanics are weird. You can watch yourself massacre hords of enemies, but actually what you do is hit them three times, fourth kills (quicker later on). When you are dealing with one, other enemies mostly wait to die afterwards rarely approaching to hit you. Overall, good game, and probably very good reason for parkour to get super popular, but I had no patience to go through all the things over and over again.

Irony?

Assassin's Creed is noted within the PC Gaming community as one of the worst examples of DRM implimentation. It was tedious, and completely overbearing making the original game barely playable. Now that it is on gog without DRM is actually funny to see. However, Assassin's Creed is a decent game at best. The great graphics, wonderful atmosphere, and mesmorizing setting make way for a rather bland and sadly predictable story. While many people triumph the historicity of the story, there is everything but that. Persons from history are in the game, yet they are loosely connected and oddly 21st centruyized making the notable persons actions extremely anachronistic. The gameplay is fun at first, but becomes extremely repetitive to the end. It may be worth a try, but there is small value for gamers and historians alike.

Assassins, Parkour, and Action

This peice of media is one of the first of its kind, and shows how ubisoft back in its day was innovating on design and ideas of what it meant to be an "open world" game. you can see alot of the core ideals of what became the later staples of the typical ubisoft game, towers, crowds, good parkour, collectibles, repetitive objectives, pre-animated takedowns and a relatively open approach to tackling your target. Graphics, amazing quality, rough on modern systems but stylish nonetheless, the colors are heavily filtered but each enviroment has its distinct look and palette. the shadows appear slightly choppy due to old aliasing techniques but the way the game is lit is brilliant. Gameplay, simple but effective, this was the mid-late 00's so while players of the franchises sequels may find combat lacking options but there is not much clutter. stealth can be a bit janky with the guards having speedometers to detect suspicious activity which makes horse riding very slow around enemies but otherwise it works as it should. the quests are also good, you have a list of 9 targets and before you assasinate each one you have to research the area and find out where they are, how to get there, and what opponents you will face. the mechanics are limited but this definitive edition adds new quests to gain info so its an upgrade to the original. story, honestly the structure of go to town, research,assasinate and return to master is very nice since it doesnt have you slog through too much of the same issues, the sci-fi present day sections are fine for what they are, they do referesh your brain between the 13th century cityscapes. Ui, servicable, the ui is a bit too much centre for my tastes but conveys the information nicely, pretty wierd for the mini map to be more akin to a halo motion sensor showing directions of objectives and interactibles but not the actual city map, cannot decide if this is good of bad. ost, Good, tense, atmospheric. I recommend to all!
