You can see why this game spawned a franchise. The overarching story is interesting, the parkour is primitive by todays standards but still a lot of fun. The cutscenes after a kill are pure kino and researching Abstergo is really cool, but the cameras everywhere recording your every move make you feel like an idiot regardless. Now onto the bad. The characters are edgy and not interesting. The only one that was halfway decent was Malik, but he gets hardly any screen time. The parkour is extremely janky, you'll miss jumps somehow at important times, there are enemies that push you into guards causing an alert or into the insta-kill water, and there are beggars who will never get out of your face when you're trying to sneak around. Throwing knives make the game way too easy, but you can choose not to use them. The voice acting for the main character is awful and he is completely unlikeable.
