    In short, it's very quality realistic physics, graphics, gameplay and story but monotonous, hack in places.

Основная механика игры, как неудивительно, это паркур. В первых частях используется паркур с управлением марионетки, с таким управлением персонаж полностью (хоть и не идеально) подчиняется вашим командам, что даёт вам довольно интересный игровой опыт. И проработка паркура в первой части игры - поражает, игра вам показывает как персонаж детально за всё цепляется, как карабкается, игра вышла очень давно, и такие детали попросту поражают. Постепенно вы будете открывать уникальные города, уникальные локации на которых полно паркурных пазлов, вообщем, в плане паркура в игре есть где разгуляться, и это круто. Спустя какое-то время вы можете разозлить стражников, и они начнут погоню за вами. Погони, они здесь сделаны куда хардкорнее, стражники почти как вы хороши в паркуре, ключевое слово "почти". Освоив паркур, вы без проблем сможете от них оторваться. Однако факт есть факт, в этой части стражники, сделаны хардкорнее, чем в последующих частях. Ну и хочу отметить сюжет, я бы не сказал что это шедевр, но повествование в игре держит тебя в интересе, до концовки игры. Однако каждая сюжетная миссия начинается одинаково, каждый раз вы будете делать одно и тоже, что может надоесть. Этой игре нужен ремейк, в последующие части бананльно интереснее играть, ведь там механик в разы больше и есть где разгуляться. Надеюсь, однажды я увиду на свете ремейк этой игры, и с контентом, который так и не попал в релизнуб версию игры.… Expand

Looking back, this installment truly holds the essence of the original Assassin's Creed experience, making it the OG AC in every sense. Not only did it lay the foundation for one of the greatest gaming franchises in history, but it also stands as the finest entry within it.

    While subsequent titles in the series boast superior graphics and refined gameplay mechanics, Assassn's Creed is unparalleled in the way it immerses players in the creed and the ongoing conflict against the Templar order. The game delivers an extraordinary experience, featuring a captivating protagonist in both the historical and present-day narratives. The premise is compelling, and the setting is undoubtedly the best in the franchise. The assassination stories and dialogues with the victims are masterfully crafted, adding depth and intrigue to the game.

    Admittedly, for players who have experienced other games in the series prior to playing this one, the gameplay might feel repetitive, although Assassin's Creed itself remains unique in its genre. The movement and parkour mechanics might also feel slightly weak or clunky compared to the more polished later installments. However, such minor drawbacks are to be expected given the evolution of the series over time.

    To fully appreciate the roots of the Assassin's Creed franchise and truly feel like part of the creed, I highly recommend starting the series with this game. It provides an essential foundation and understanding of the overarching story, making it a crucial experience for any Assassin's Creed enthusiast. Skipping it would be a disservice to the immersive world and rich narrative that this game offers.

    In conclusion, Assassin's Creed: Director's Cut Edition is a remarkable and influential title, setting the bar high for the franchise. It remains an unparalleled experience, even amidst the advancements of its successors. Embrace the origins of the creed, and don't miss out on this exceptional gaming journey.    … Expand

    Pierwsza część tej serii podoba mi się przede wszystkim z dlatego, że klimat oraz postacie jakie tam są, wzbudzają sentyment w graczu. Elementy parkour'a jak na tamte czasy działają nienagannie a sama historia napisana, może i banalnie, ale jednak jest w niej coś, co nadaje charakter tej grze. Czasami zdarzy mi się wrócić do tej odsłony by powspominać dobre czasy gier.

    Cons
    - 2007 action game - read that as clunky
    - repetitive, as the tasks to help identify the targets are identical

    As a game that started a legacy of yearly releases, the original Assassin's Creed is a fantastic look into a simple era of gaming.

    Everything this game does works so well that it spawned an iteration after iteration on the same idea. The movement system is at times clunky, but mechanically it is more reliable than Unity, a game released seven years later.

    The story takes a look on young Altair, who through pure hubris falls from grace and has to build himself back up through the ranks of the assassin brotherhood. After killing each of the nine main targets, you get new tools to help you deal with the challenges presented by the world.

    Each of the three main cities is architecturally distinct from the others, allowing for fun scenery while you are traversing each city. The combat is simplistic but it works. Throwing knives are broken but they add to the arsenal of tools in a unique and sometimes needed way.

    The original Assassin's Creed, a game whose legacy would be a smattering of great to meh sequels. Fun to this day though not as impressive as when it came out.    … Expand

    2022 review of the 2008 AC. We review old games based on the standards set in the gaming industry by the time that game was released. By that account, Assasins Creed is a masterpiece.

    This is also my favorite AC game. As a video game, it is the worst and most basic of the series. Every game released later into the franchise would improve upon the fundamentals established in this 1st    2022 review of the 2008 AC.

    This is also my favorite AC game. As a video game, it is the worst and most basic of the series. Every game released later into the franchise would improve upon the fundamentals established in this 1st entry. With that said, the 2008 AC is the most basic and boring of them all. But this game is also the best for me and that has to do with the historic period in which is set, the 3rd crusade is amazing to explore. Richard the Lionheart, Saladin, the Assassins order. Al-tair is a fictional character set in an accurate reconstruction of a historic period. The tense conversations between Al-Tair and his master Al-mualim are the highlights of the story. In fact, we are used to characters that poorly react to strong NPCs. In AC the main character does not speak much, but his lines cut deep into those who interact with him, delivering one of the most interesting characters in a video game.

    AC is the most basic and boring of the series, but also a masterpiece in storytelling, dialogue, and it's set in one of the most important time periods of human history. Replaying it on PC in 2022 was really fun. Given today's standards, the game is repetitive and dull but has some tense story moments that really make the whole thing worth it :)    … Expand

    The parkour is well done even though it is slow, the story is quite cool and you don't expect who will be the last target, I liked the combat. Yes, you need to get used to it, but once you get used to it, you get pleasure, Stealth is not bad here and the ability to kill some targets on stealth is awesome.

    There's only one game better than Ezio's series in the AC franchise, and it's the original first one. I mean it still had its flaws, like a huge almost dead map with nothing to do at all or those **** flags. But it was a real banger back in the day.

    This game is just the basics of what Assassin's Creed is, just walking around in the beautiful landscape of the Third Crusade era. Well-represented historical characters and a beautiful soundtrack. However, it is just that, it doesn't add anything more interesting to hold the player's attention.

Altair has to assassinate 9 different targets with some excuses, but Altair's personality and worldview changes after understanding his prey's goals and ambitions, who killed by him. And after that, with some twists game's story has a beautiful end
    The most exciting aspect of the game is the quality of the animations. The sequel series used same animations until AC origins. And even the games like shadow of mordor, used AC 1's parkouring and running animations.
    Game's core game mechanics are simple but satisfied enough even after years. The combat and parkour mechanics are smooth and enjoyable, and familiar to other sequel games.
    Of course game has too many lacking part of game design. Core game loop is linear and devoid of change. All you have to do to advance to story is, climbing some towers in each city and doing the side missions to gain information about target, then you can assasinate target as like the 9 other targets. the side missions has too little variety, there is nothing can be do in partial open world except for missions. Game even doesn't have any money, reward system at all. But it is acceptable i guess, because game time is ideal and the game is fast paced.

    This game is a beginning of a legendary serie which known by every gamer. And i loved this game even 15 years later.    … Expand

Может я коряво управляю, но всё же. После получения контратаки, играть стало в удовольствие.

    Lore-wise it's the most important entry in the series, the story was well written and laid ground for an amazing franchise.

    The game got old, though, and what was innovative at the time, seems clunky now. The modern world plot served no purpose at the time of the release, and most of the preparation missions were boring and repeatable.

    Right now it's already a classic. I finished it three times and for sure I'll come back to it in the future. Yes, after 12 years some mechanics got old and gamers who already played in other games from Assassin's Creed franchise may not like it, but it's one of the must play. Still very good graphic, atmosphere, soundtrack and great story.
    And Nolan North as Desmond Miles, as always great.

    It was an amazing game that brought a new concept to the table of gaming, and did something almost never did before on this scale. Although it had faults, like lazy story writing and repetitive missions. The world was beautiful and immersive, but it was repetitive. But it was an awesome new concept.

    Before I start, a caveat: If you are a fan of the series, or have played a more recent AC game, and you'd like to check this one out, the one that started it all, please: It IS a cool idea to check it out, but please keep in mind that the game is 9 years old by now.
    It IS showing it's age a bit, and a lot of things that are standard in more modern AC games aren't in this one yet.

    It IS showing it's age a bit, and a lot of things that are standard in more modern AC games aren't in this one yet.

    The game, to me, still looks pretty good, comparable to the Ezio-ACs. They did a great job capturing the vibe of Jerusalem and the whole area back in the days of the crusades. It's colorful, with lots of detail, and I find that the cities especially do have a lot of atmosphere and do feel kinda alive.

    However, since this one started it all, and the other ACs build on it, there still is quite a lot of stuff missing here:
    - The freeclimbing/parcour is still quite clunky. Yes, mistakes can happen even in Unity, Syndicate and Rogue, but here, you will have accidents, it's guaranteed. The parcour isn't as "safe" and automated as it is in newer ACs, so you will have "misjumps", where you don't reach a ledge and fall. It's not horrible, it's just a bit slower and way less safe than in modern ACs.

    - Combat can be tough especially against a group. Please stay patient. At first, Altair has all abilities, then loses them (because he gets demoted), and gets them back one by one. Once you have counterattack, you will have a much easier time dealing even with groups. Hold the block-button or key, and hit the counter attack at the right moment - instakill.
    Actually... even though I enjoyed the combat in, say, AC III, Rogue and Unity much more than I did enjoy this one, it still is more fun and feels less frustrating than it does in the abomination that is Syndicate with it's horrible, spammy and often unfair combat.

    - Abilites are not in yet. You don't have ropedarts, smoke bombs, firecrackers, mortars etc.
    Basically, you have your wristblade (which you can't fight with once you are in combat, so it's only for assassinations, killing unprepared enemies), a sword, a short blade, and later on a ranged weapon.
    You don't get health potions either (a bit like in AC III). So if you lose health, you can't recover it unless you flee. It recovers while you do, so you can retreat a bit, then turn around and kill your pursuers.

    - It's a bit shorter than modern ACs... but then again, it has less filler. YOu know the deal... tons of side stuff and collectibles. A bit of that is here, too, but not even remotely as much as in Unity or Syndicate.

    - There are a lot of cut scenes, and you can't skip them. Stay patient and enjoy the story.

    While it might feel weird to play this after more recent ACs, it still is a fun game with a great protagonist and a cool, albeit short story. Playing with a controller is very much recommended.
    It still has vibe and atmosphere, and it's great to see the story begin.

    If you're a fan of the franchise, you should at least try it, you can usually get this quite cheap. If you want to get into the series, AC II might be a better start, but this still is a solid, classic game and the start of a great series    … Expand

    Assassin's Creed (Director's Cut Edition) consists of a small variation of different elements that helped build the franchise's foundation and success.

    It somewhat fufilled it's role as a "historical adventure, open-world game", but unfortunately leaves out the "stealth" aspect away in the dirt. Here's a list of pros and cons from my 16 hours of experience with the game: Pros:    Assassin's Creed (Director's Cut Edition) consists of a small variation of different elements that helped build the franchise's foundation and success.

    It somewhat fufilled it's role as a "historical adventure, open-world game", but unfortunately leaves out the "stealth" aspect away in the dirt.

    Here's a list of pros and cons from my 16 hours of experience with the game:

    Pros:

    + Great looking graphics for a 2007/2008 game
    + Game mechanics isn't really choppy, although the character sometimes get stucked in foliages and invisible floors/walls, but other than that, it still gets the job done, decently.
    + Detailed character modelling, costumes are looks realistic and well-detailed.
    + Missions usually relate to the plot directly, no twist and turns around a corner or two.
    + Plot was intriguing and epic.
    + At least 16-18 hours of non-stop gameplay spent completing just on the story.

    Cons:

    - Repetitive mission types, lacks creativity.
    - Artificial Intelligence coding feels half-assed, e.g. enemy A.I falling off buildings, not retaliating frequently to attacks, not noticing "stealth assassinations" when closeby.
    - Side missions (or known as "memories") are completely useless and takes a long time to complete.
    - Game stablility issues. E.g. unable to start the game, game crashing frequently.
    - Checkpoints feels non-existent.
    - Stealth doesn't really work all that well in this game.
    - Cliffhanger ending was disappointing. Adruptly ended with poor execution methods.

    To sum it up, this game is worth a shot at. I did enjoy this game a ton during the 16 hours of playtime. Good way to start up the storyline of the series to the future games.    … Expand

    I played the more recent AC installments and then decided to go back and try this one. I feared outdated mechanics, and though they do change drastically from the more recent set up, it was not difficult to adapt to and felt pretty good. I like the way the game flows and I felt much more like a true assassin rather than an extremely agile brawler like the other titles.

    This game will keep completionist occupied, as to get %100 you have to kill 60 Templars, and get a set of flags from each of the three main cities.
    You can find secrets in areas in the game that will reveal parts of story you might miss completely.

    The story is odd, and is a little original but it may have been done before. I don't want to give anything away. But you most of the time you play as Altair, or 'The son of none', who has to assassinate nine targets in three cities in each district of that city (poor, middle, rich). Each memory block contains an assassination (1/2/3).
    Memory Blocks are split up so you can get story bits in between, out of the animus.

    Part of the game takes outside of the animus, which can read memories of your ancestors. Altair is the ancestor of Desmond Miles, a bartender. The animus can read his DNA to access Altair's memories. Like I said I am not going to spoil anything, but this game will interest you.

Certain civilians (Beggars and lepers, specifically) keep bugging you. So much so that I had to actually parkour out of the way whenever I saw one approaching. The combat can be rather tedious, although new moves you gain after each assassination do help to relieve that. But the biggest problem I have with this game would be the missions, which often end up being the same.

    Yet with all of these qualities, it still stands as a good game, not only for it's great visuals and music, but also because with each mission you can actually understand who the victim is, why you're killing him, and how he could see what he was doing as a good thing; something that most modern shooters miss entirely. It also gives a great sense of character development as the main character actually undergoes a major change throughout the story, as those around him begin to notice.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game leaves a awesome positive mindset everytime you quit. One thing that is even remotely bad is quitting the game. It takes over a minute to exit the memory and the animus then quit the game. You cant skip cutscenes but usually they are so big of a deal you possibly cannot play without them, most of them are interactive so you can still do something while watching them. You get used to the keyboard controls very soon but it is clear that they didn't think of the mouse. the game has good graphics for it's age. The experience is intresting after memory block 1 and 2. The assassinations are really difficult if you don't exactly know what you are doing (one instance: I didn't play for a while and started playing right before an assassination and got killed over 20 times). the game is well balanced you are really agile and have to fight against a lot of enemies.

The cities are beautiful and each have their own look and feel, whether it's the holy city of Jerusalem, the crusader fortress of Acre, or the Muslim city of Damascus. Unfortunately the game provides you with limited weapons (you don't have the luxury of crossbows or smoke bombs as in later games), and most major assassination missions end up in huge sword-fights or long desperate chases. Still, there's nothing quite like hearing the chase music pumping as you leap around rooftops trying to escape a horde of pissed guards!… Expand

The storyline is a bit controversial but it unfolds in an amazing fashion as you are transported back and forth in time to relive the "memories" of your assassin ancestors. The developers took great pains to faithfully recreate the Holy Lands during an early crusade and bring times and places to life. One of my favorite parts of this game was simply scaling the large building and taking in the historic scenery. The controls were amazing, IMO, even with the mouse and keyboard. The ability to scale nearly every building, leap from the highest heights, and fight crowds of soldiers, all with an amazing fluidity and a profoundly deep level of control makes this one of the most enjoyable games you will ever play. I can agree with those who found the game a bit repetitive at times, particularly if you do the storyline first and then go back to try to get full synchronization; however, if you take your time and do all the side quests in an area before moving on to the next part of the storyline, it really isn't too bad. The only reason this game doesn't get a full 10 out of 10 is because once you finish the storyline, which doesn't feel rushed or too short, you really have no reason to play it again. It's like watching a great movie that you feel totally satisfied to have watched, but have no interest in watching again... sure you really look forward to the sequel, but you aren't going to do the first one over since you know how it is going to end and there is nothing new or exciting the second time around. .… Expand

Ubisoft made a huge emphasis on controls in this game. Just from pressing your left analog stick at different intensities, there are around 4 different walking animations, and then there's another animation for running once you hit the "high profile" button. This allows you to seamlessly transition between movement speeds for incredibly tight and precise controls. This ties in beautifully with the game's focus on parkour style gameplay. Climbing up Jerusalem's tallest buildings and beholding the surrounding view is an amazing experience.

    Sadly, the game does suffer from lack of variety in combat and missions. Not enough to spoil the experience though. Between the controls, the gritty atmosphere and plot, and the environments, there's quite a lot to enjoy. here A real step forward for action platformers in my opinion.    … Expand

    AC is visually stunning, and the gameplay is fun. The story can be predictable, but It's interesting. Now, Assassin's Creed is the second best looking AC game, for my opinion, but It's not the best. The game can feel repetitive at times, and It haves some glitches. But, this game kicks asses, means that it's great. 83 out of 100

In order to regain his high rank Altair is tasked by his master to assassinate a number of Templars-his guild's mortal enemies, including their grand master. The story has an interesting conclusion-I'll leave it at that. The gameplay is fluid and amazing. My only real criticisms are that the NPCs don't do much else other than walk around and utter the odd sentence. Also, most of the time you simply duel your target face-to-face, rather than employing skill to take them out stealthily. Overall, a great game!… Expand

    Nice locations, awesome story, sort of weird combat system, lucky that will be fixed in the next episodes, repetitive cause you always have to investigate+help citizen, but all in all worth the price of when it goes on sale, kept me busy for a few, if you want to go for the 100% completed in-game you will need a lot of times, if you are a fan of AC game get it anyway.

    I really love the Assassin's Creed series, I like this game very much. I like the graphics too. Great controls and story, the enemies need some more voices, but that's alright. The thing I don't like is that the structure of the missions is repetitive, and sometimes the dialog is too long. Other than that, it is a good game to buy. 9 out of 10 is what I give it.

The game offers a free roaming gameplay and takes place in 4 cities, as well as a countryside in between those. The graphics are very rich, with stunning environments, the locations are well designed, and the quests are pretty fun, even though somewhat repetitive after a while. My favourite thing about Assassin's Creed is its fantastic combat mechanic. I can fight guards day in day out and not get bored of it, because there are a number of moves you can perform in combat, with the most addictive one being counter attacks, which can instantly kill an attacking enemy if timed well. And if you aren't up for a fight, you can play a cat and mouse game with the guards, run through the city streets, dodging civilians, jumping through merchant stands and eventually disappearing in a good hiding place. There are only 5-6 different types of quests which you have to do in every city and every city district, but they do get more challenging as you progress through the game. At the end of each set of sidequests you have to assassinate a certain corrupt leader, and even though that's a repetitive structure to a game, you still face a different challenge with each leader (for example one you might need to chase, another one to face in battle, third one to stealthly kill, etc). The storyline maybe isn't anything special, but it's not exactly bad either. It's predictable to a degree, but it's not stale. Repetition might be one issue in the game, but I don't mind it so much, so long as the game is fun. However there are a couple of issues I wasn't too fond of. First one was that it took a while to get used to the controls. The fact there are separate buttons for each limb and a button for a high profile stance can get confusing in the beginning. Another problem that brought the game down a bit was that whenever you entered an area where a cinematic had to occur, you would suddenly not be able to do anything apart from walking until the cinematic triggers. This means that if you tried to enter through a roof, you basically wouldn't be able to jump down and would be stuck on a ledge. Other than those few issues the game is good.… Expand

Even the lowest settings are great! The story is about a dude. In 2012 he has been held in captivity by a mad scientist. He puts the dude in sort of a time machine (or what the hell it is) called Animus. You actually control the dude. The environment is massive and you can go wherever you want. You will be in Middle East and there is a village, a big kingdom, and three cities - Jerusalem, Damascus and Acre. There are there three areas in each city - rich class people area, medium class people area and poor class people area. All those things are nice but sadly, that you do the same thing over and over again. There are some bugs too. Two or three times I fell out of the graphics. The good thing is that you can climb walls, jump from roof to roof etc. The controls are a bit confusing but you will get used to them.

    Assassin’s Creed for the PC is a pretty compelling action game that benefits from huge environments and an interesting story. While the main campaign can get a bit repetitive, the new Director’s Cut features add some nice variety.

    What you're left with is a repetitive side-quest requirement for completing each primary mission, though the issue is alleviated somewhat with the PC version's additional content.
