Hard to believe this was 2008
Nicely mo-capped player character and horses, lovely maps, fun and simple combat. Parkour and stealth are fun. Need to push through the tedious opening tutorial scenes to get to the good stuff.

Classic barebones AC
Runs on integrated graphics (Intel UHD Graphics 620) in full detail without a problem, only had to run via the DX9 executable (DX10 had no sound) and add the "203.132.26.155 127.0.0.1 # AC1" line (without quotes) to c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file to stop the periodical freezes (even non-DRM games seem to ping back home to momma; just unplugging the ethernet cable together with disabling wifi also worked). Plus you can move the *.bik files in "Videos" folders elsewhere for faster startup (a subfolder in Videos is enough) once you watch them.

Proof Of Concept
Assassins Creed is not so much a game, than it is a proof of concept. The concepts its trying to get across are best left to you to find out, as they are key to the story in a way as well. The main thing you have to remember here is that this is the Directors Cut of the game. In the original, there were 3 tasks you did then you did the assassination. However, in the DC edition, there are an extra 3 things you can do, giving you six things to do before an assassination. However, you still only need 3 of them to actually do the assassination, so you can mix it up if you want. :) The other thing with Assassins Creed is that this is only the first game. Assassins Creed 2 is far and away a better game than AC1 ever was, so it is worth getting though AC1 so you can comprehend what is going on in AC2, as AC2 literally picks up where AC1 left off. To Conclude, AC1 is a good game, and worth playing once. However, seconded and third plays are probably not going to be.

Original and amazing gameplay
This game may not have a masterpiece story and yes the missions get a bit repetitive (all that picks up in the sequels) but the gameplay was the first of its kind extremely fun, I can leap my way across the city on here picking off guards in any way I choose and I simply cannot get tired of it. the visuals at the time of release were absolutely jaw dropping especially the lighting and still today continues to look gorgeous. it would have gotten 5 stars if the story were more detailed and the missions were less repetitive but this is the first of a great series and it simply did not need these things to be a great game. worth every penny

The core Assasins Creed experience
It has its detractors, and I can understand why, but I for one love the first foray in to the Assassins Creed universe, and it is the only one in the series that I have played more than once - in fact, I have completed it 5 times across 3 different systems. Though admittedly not as characterful, cinematic and engaging as its sequels and widely derided because of its repetitive nature, it nevertheless has a purity of gameplay and a strong focus and compelling fluidity that the later games lose due to their ever-increasing feature creep, bolted-on mini-games and over reliance on jarring expositionary cut scenes and copout quicktime events. Yes, it is somewhat clunky at times, and the modern day sections of the game feel a bit flat and even turgid, but the core gameplay of exploration, investigation and assassination in a very well realised virtual world set against an appealing backdrop of history, conspiracy and morality is highly addictive and very satisfying. You can explore as little or as much as you want, and it can be as easy or as hard as you make it, though bear in mind that if you do not perfect your combat skills, the last sections of the game can be annoyingly difficult, almost impossibly rage-quittingly so. But aside from the issues and arguments for or against this game, there is nothing quite like it for its basic ambience and attractions... Free-running across rooftops, hiding among crowds and completing a kill can be both exhilarating and relaxing, whilst climbing to the top of a minareted tower and synchronising a viewpoint with the cries of an eagle in your ears, then taking a leap of faith safely into a cart full of straw... That's what makes Assassin Creed special to me. Not the endless collecting and crafting and curating and other assorted confusing craptrap that mire and bog down the later games in the series.
