    It was a great starting point but not very fun to replay after playing later games in the series

    A whole new genre and a nice start for an epic series. But the gameplay is kinda too repetitive and the interface with controls is devastating.

    Worst game of the series. I remember how bored and frustrated I was trying to play this game and I never plan to play it again to finish it. Skip this game and move on to other games. Even for the time it was released, it has an unbearably terrible gameplay and story. Trying to finish this game is probably harder than actually living in the 13th century.

    Assassin's Creed , while not without flaws such as repetitive missions and less engaging gameplay, holds a significant place. It offers the initial taste of being an assassin, paving the way for the series.

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

    This game was spoiled. I wanted to show it as an original good one, and it got spoiled by additional complications which annoying very much. Also a lot of bugs, for example no possibility to get to view point, he just stop climbing in the last moment. Or he dies after landing in the straw. But mostly unnecessary guardian's "improvements".

    Years after completing Assassin's Creed: Director's Cut Edition, I returned to the game with the goal of achieving 100% sync.

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

    The actual gameplay is fun, but a bit shallow. I had a good time.

    Fights and climbing are fun, but get repetetive soon.

    The graphics are very good for a 2007 game, they were ahead of the time.

    However, the amount of bugs (i.e. Leap Of Faith bug) that are still in this game after 15 years is absolutely shocking! Therefore, I can only give 6/10 points.

    I love the story and the dubbing in this part. I've always followed the plot (and the one from the medieval period and the modern period) closely and finished the game several times. Dubbing outside of Altair and old ladies (include in the electric circuit) is pure poetry, especially Al-Mualim.

    Players also disliked the fact that activities in cities are very repetitive, but I always liked to max them out, during them you can learn something about the goal (for example, some useful information about the way in or out). That's what makes me feel like a killer the most in this part.    … 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

    - 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

The game graphically has aged amazingly but they ruin it by puttiing terrible colour filters over everything to hide the fact that everything looks the same. The cities are the exact same just with different colour filters. The stealth is terrible and boring, all you do is get caught, run and break line of site, and go to one of the 3 types of hiding places and wait for them to forget about you, it is nothing more than that. The combat is terrible too, its button mashy as hell and the only other method is waiting for them to attack you and pressing one button to kill them. This game is terrible.… Expand

    Sinceramente, eu não curti. Sei que é o primeiro jogo e que as mecânicas ainda eram um rascunho, mas, caramba, é torturante escalar, o combate não tem diversidade nenhuma e o protagonista, apesar de interessante, não tem quase nada de carisma, sempre falando em tom neutro e sem expressar emoção.

    Para um início, mesmo levando em conta as limitações, ainda é bem fraco. É só ver que Prince of Persia fez mecânicas muito mais agradáveis, e que este deveria ser uma evolução pelo menos das escaladas, mas não é o que acontece. Basicamente o jogo não tem stealth, e isso matou a graça de muitas missões, pois você basicamente chega no inimigo e esfaqueia, depois aperta o botão para disfarçar. Me vi muitas vezes frustrado por ter de fazer missões repetitivas de assassinato onde tinham 3 alvos e se eu falhasse, ficava mais difícil porque os corpos dos que eu matei ainda estavam lá e os guardas ficavam em alerta, dificultando conseguir assassinar o alvo sem falhar, e as vezes os npcs (os loucos), simplesmente me empurravam, eu esbarrava em um guardsne falhava a missão. Eu tive 0 vontade de fazer qualquer side quest que não fosse obrigado a fazer para seguir com as principais, que são todas praticamente iguais e nada recompensadoras.

    Jogo ok, mas sem nada demais além da ótima premissa, então ele é bem vazio e completamente descartável se um jogador busca se divertir. Só vale a experiência para conhecer o jogo que iniciou a franquia...    … Expand

    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.
