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.

Pretty bad

This is the worst chapter of the Creed series, which surely is not very good even in the best chapters. It's repetitive, boring, sad and auto-guided.

Not worth playing in the modern age

Honestly this game just isn't good. Combat: I played with an XBox controller, so I'll reference the XBox controls (e.g. X, Y, RB, RT, etc.) in my review. Very limited. Basically you just have to build up a combo by spamming the X at different enemies. If you see an enemy about to attack you, then hold down RB to block. If you were in the middle of an attack, then still hold down RB because it will turn into a counter attack. That's pretty much the entire combat system, no need to dodge, use throwing knives, etc. AI: The enemies are blind. Often I'd assassinate someone right in front of the guards, or start a fight within 10m of a guard and they wouldn't notice. Audio: - Why is Altair the only person with an American accent? It's just weird. - The audio quality of background NPCs is dreadful. Sounds like they were recorded with a Yogscast 2011 toaster mic - There were a couple of times where I couldn't hear the main person speaking simply because the background voices were too loud. Parkour controls: Not great. Altair seems to really like to jump on small ledges. Often I'd try to jump into a hay stack but instead he wanted to jump on the rim of the stack, which gave guards a chance to catch up with me. Often he'd jump off buildings in a different direction to what I'd intended, so he'd end up falling to the ground. A couple of times he'd jump off a viewpoint and fall to his death, instead of doing the swan dive. Story: Honestly who cares about the modern day story? It was such a vibe killer to go from running around rooftops and killing guards, to being forced to walk around a single room listening to some old geezer. Also what's up with cutscenes? You have to press a button at specific times just to see the cutscene from a good angle? Why? Missions: All the same. Go to region X of city Y, complete the same 6 tasks, assassinate someone, return to master. Absolutely no variation.

Decent game

An enjoyable game, but not without faults. But my main problem with the game isn't the repetitive of the game, but rather the lack of subtitles and the really bad story. The whole memory stored in DNA thing is just plain stupid. They should just have focused on the 12th century stuff, none of the present day nonsense and especially not the the hologram at the end. The best thing in the game is the soundtrack by Jesper Kyd.

" Stop there ,you can't escape "

I've so missed this game ,had a chance to play it in 2009,and unfortunatelly didn't finish it. Now,when i saw it ,it was certain buy .I understand those having issue with controller/joystick,and i hope they get theirs fixed.I had no problem playing with keyboard . Anyone who wants the game and is unsure here's some thoughts : Player can experience historical medieval setup in Middle East .The world is huge and never boring,always something to do.Story is incredible. The environment is absolutely gorgeous.Due to theme involved,there are limitations to weapons,but those few are very fun to use. I give 3 stars because the series isn't complete ( i would've expected the others brothers of the game here on GoG) and because game would have been different with mods (imagine an editor or mods like in Mount and Blade Warband).
