Assassin's Creed®: Director's Cut

As someone who has played this title off an on for years, I do recommend the game despite some objective flaws such as the repitition and flawed combat. What makes this game so underrated is how you slowly gather information for your targets which is what helps make the assassinations so memorable to me that no other game in the Assassin's Creed series has ever been able to surpass. The game also has a nice big beautiful open world to explore which even to this day are still a joy to explore. So overall despite some objective flaws that do hurt the game, I recommend it especially because I would like to see Ubisoft bring more of their newer titles to GOG

May be quite repetitive (albeit a little less so than the console versions due to the PC version mixing up some of the missions), and, if coming from later games in the series, can feel a bit bare, but as a foundation for the series, and in its own right, Assassin's Creed is still a solid game that's worth at least one playthrough. Does have a couple technical issues though, both of which can be worked around. Issue 1: The game physics break at high framerates. (for example, the Leap of Faith will result in you dieing) Capping the framerate to 60 FPS will fix that. Issue 2: The game may freeze for a few moments every now and again. This one has a few workarounds, but the best and most reliable one involves a bit of hex editing. (tutorial explaining how to do so can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LfrG7Fhmto)

the game itself is good, but there are a lot of bugs, and the game is extremely unstable and freezes or crashes constantly. Its in desperate need of a patch.

one bug with the connection - you can only play this game w/o net connection. otherwise it's glitching all the time. second bug is with the framerate - change frame rate to 30fps, otherwise leap of faith will cause death all the time. without fixing those the game is unplayable. overall I like this game

I haven't completed the game yet, but played a few times. I like the graphics and the physics in terms of movement. You are free to scale walls, jump from rooftop to rooftop... That's what I've been missing after The Witcher. The controls are a bit hard to remember, though. I hadn't played the game for a couple of months and was afraid to continue, because I didn't remember a single thing - all I knew is it was complicated and I'd assassinate someone when trying to sprint. But then I learned that this game supports the XBox 360 controller which I happen to have. And with that one it's a lot better, because the game actually displays hints with respect to the buttons on the controller, which isn't particularly helpful when you're using a keyboard. What's a bit boring is that you often have to walk around as the person you actually are in the present, and in this situation you walk really slow. That's annoying. The story isn't the best in the world as of yet, but overall I like the game. I probably wouldn't buy it for the regular price, though.
