    Assassin's Creed 1 surprises players with a twist ending that unveils the hidden layers of the modern-day Templar-Assassin conflict, a revelation that was brilliantly kept under wraps and unannounced in the trailers.

The game's setting, set in the historical cities of the Holy Land, creates a rich and immersive backdrop for the philosophical clashes between the Templars and Assassins, adding depth and intrigue to the narrative. The atmospheric score by Jasper Kyd further enhances the experience, immersing players in the ancient world. However, the gameplay can feel clunky and repetitive at times, which detracts from the overall enjoyment. Nevertheless, Assassin's Creed 1's ambitious storytelling and thought-provoking themes make it a noteworthy entry in the series, setting the stage for the franchise's future success.… Expand

    como é o primeiro jogo da série, não dá pra esperar a mesma coisa que os jogos mais recentes da série. o jogo envelheceu mal e merecia um remake com as engines atuais dos jogos mais recentes. no geral é uma boa história sobre a irmandade.

    The beginning of the saga, it is a very good game but it lacked things that have improved with the sequels, recommended for everyone

    The game that gave the world the start of a popular series of games
    ASSASSIN'S CREED. As a standalone game for its age 10/10. But in comparison with other parts for the period of 2022, only 6/10.

    sinopsis: Primer juego de la saga en donde encarnaremos en Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad y a su vez en el inicio de la aventura de Desmond Miles a lo largo de el siglo XII durante la época de las grandes cruzadas en la tierra santa con elementos de sigilo que destacan mucho mas que los de pelea y una historia aunque un poco repetitiva memorable y con uno que otro giro en su trama.

    Lo bueno: al ser    sinopsis: Primer juego de la saga en donde encarnaremos en Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad y a su vez en el inicio de la aventura de Desmond Miles a lo largo de el siglo XII durante la época de las grandes cruzadas en la tierra santa con elementos de sigilo que destacan mucho mas que los de pelea y una historia aunque un poco repetitiva memorable y con uno que otro giro en su trama.

    Lo bueno: al ser el primero no trajo muchas cosas mas que sentar las bases para lo que serian sus secuelas e iniciar la historia y su sistema de parkour que se usa hasta entonces.

    Lo malo: lamentablemente no es un juego que se acerque ni un poco a la perfección ya que solo hay 5 misiones diferentes aproximadamente que se repetirán hasta que se acabe el juego y ademas el sistema de combate se centra en luchar con un enemigo a la vez y al lograr un asesinato entra en una cinemática de las dos o tres que hay por cada arma de las cuales solo hay 4 (dos de ellas es el a puño limpio y los cuchillos lanzadisos los cuales no cuentan al solo noquear y asesinar a distancia respectivamente) por lo que solo se puede usar la espada larga y las dos chicas cosa que se arreglaria en entregas posteriores.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Nada es verdad todo está permitido, es la frase principal de este juego, que refleja como es el credo de los asesinos y sus normas, la historia enrealidad se ambienta en el año 2012 donde secuestran a un camarero bar tender llamado Desmond Miles, los miembros de industrias Abstergo, pera meterlo en una maquina futurista llamada el: Animus, que es una maquina que sirve para ver los recuerdo en el ADN de nuestro antepasados, y Desmond ve los recuerdos de su antepasado en la Edad Media en las Cruzadas, de Altair Ib'n La'Ahad, un asesino de alto rango que es degradado de su rango por el maestro de la orden: Al'Mualim por romper las tres normas del Credo las cuales son: No matar Inocentes, Ser siempre discreto y No comprometer a la hermandad; y tras esto Altair debera recuperar su rango y honor matando a 9 objetivos los cuales son: Tamir: un traficante de armas del soco de Damasco, Garniet de'Naploux: líder Pedagogo de un manicomio en Acre, Talal: un esclavista de Jerusalén, Abul Nu'qud:un Gordo Ricachon Jefe mercader de Damasco, Guillermo de Mountferrat: un soldado Político de Acre, Mayaddin: Un juez verdugo que daba sentencia de muerte al que le caiga mal en Jerusalén, Jubair: un sujeto que con sus seguidores quemaba libros en la hoguera en Jerusalén, Sibrand: un caballero Teutón que queria ocasionar un bloqueo maritimo en Acre y además estaba paranoico con su muerte tanto así que mandaba a matar a monjes nada más porque se visten como los asesinos, y por último Roberto de Sable: el Gran maestre de los templarios de esos tiempos; pero al matar al noveno objetivo Roberto le dice que hay un decimo objetivo que era el traidor de su maestro Al'Mualim puesto que tenia en su poder el fruto del edén para controlar las mentes y acabar las cruzadas, por ende Altair deberá derrotar y matar a su maestro para obtener el fruto y reformar a la orden de los asesinos; la jugabilidad es el punto más bajo del juego puesto que es aburrida y repetitiva ya que hay que hacer siempre lo mismo: Investigar a nuestro objetivo antes de ir a matarlo, los controles se dividen en dos acciones, de perfil bajo y perfil alto que se activa con R1, con equis en perfil bajo te pones a rezar y mezclarte con la multitud, mientras que en perfil alto corres súper rápido, con circulo en perfil bajo apartas a los civiles mientras caminas, mientras que en perfil alto lanzas lejos al enemigo, con cuadro utilizas las armas tanto en perfil bajo y alto y las armas son 4 y son: la emblematica de la saga la Hoja Oculta para matar a los objetivos con sigilo, una Espada para cuando nos descubren y tenemos que combatir, unos cuchillos arrojadizos para matar enemigos a distancia, y los puños para interrogar a testigos en las investigaciones, y con triangulo se activa la vista en primera persona pero si tenemos la barra de sincronización llena podremos con triangulo usar una habilidad especial de Altair llamada la Vista de Águila que es una especie de vista ultra violeta que sirve para detectar mejor al enemigo y los objetivos, y además de fijar el blanco con L1 , movernos con el joystick izquierdo, mover la cámara con el joystck derecho, centrar la cámara con R3, y elegir las armas con las flechas; en cuanto a graficos es otro punto fuerte del juego ya que para la época fueron una locura y hoy en día se sigue viendo igual de bien y no envejecieron mal, el juego se ambienta en 5 ciudades de las Cruzadas las cuales son: Damasco, Acre, Jerusalén, Arsuf y sobretodo y ante todo Masyaf que es la base de los asesinos, que están muy bien recreadas y ambientadas, apesar del guiño o referencia a transformers que le hicieron en los edificios o casas de Damasco; en cuanto a banda sonora es otro punto más bajo ya que el unico tema destacable es Chase Theme que es el tema que suena cuando te **** y te persiguen ya que ese tema cuando suena sientes realmente de que te tiraste el mundo encima; mientras que las otras bandas sonoras son bastante poco emocionates y olvidables; en cuanto a dificultad es otro punto alto del juego ya que es un juego de sigilo en mundo abierto donde te pueden descubrir facilmente y cuando te descubren estas obligado a escapar ya que apesar de poder combatir con la espada y la hoja corta, es super dificil y realista ya que los enemigos te puenden matar de un solo espazo apesar de tener la tecnica del contraataque pero es impresisa y hay que saber cuando utilizarlo; en conclusión Assassin's Creed 1 es un juego muy aburrido y repetitivo pero lo salva su buen sistema de sigilo y su historia con un tono algo filosófico con lo de: Nada es verdad, Todo está permitido.… Expand

    This is the first assassin-themed game I played, quite new and interesting, the plot is attractive but the annoying thing is the repetitive side quests are boring, the plot is good but not well exploited. The graphics are optimized for ps3 which surprised me quite a bit. Anyway, it's a game I rate average.

    I'll give it because of the innovation that brings a mystery within, really makes you dive into a daring fiction. However, the story gets too much long and repetitive. Travel to town, eavesdrop some chatting of the citizens, steal a letter from someone's pocket, get to the place where target is, kill him, little more chat with near dying target, escape. I'm glad they fixed it in AC2. GoodI'll give it because of the innovation that brings a mystery within, really makes you dive into a daring fiction.

    A saga that I could not try at its time, and now I'm starting it...

    The truth is that I was a little disappointed with this game, it's not that it's bad in itself, I just had some expectations. The gameplay feels very slow and is not as dynamic as I expected, either moving around the map or the combat system, yet it is still enjoyable as far as it goes.

    Outside of the main story, the small side objectives don't add anything, they are repetitive and there are like two or three different ones. The plot is not bad at all, the simple fact of how the story happens and the timeline I liked it a lot, of course, it doesn't escape from pretty generic clichés but it works.

    It's not a bad start at all for a saga now that it's well cemented.    … Expand

    The first Assassin’s Creed game is very far from a great game but it is a great start of the franchise. When the game was released, I was amazed by the size of the world and cities but soon after, I saw that the world is pretty dead; a lot of “copy-pasted” people that do or say the same things all the time.

    The game has a rather simple plot and the biggest problem is the gameplay. The idea is great and combat can be pretty challenging sometimes but all in all, this game is the ultimate winner of repetitive gameplay! It will make you do the same things for around 12 hours. In every new city district you enter, you will find completely the same side quests and after only a few hours of playing, I was asking myself: “Didn’t I do this already 100 times?”. It is worth mentioning that jumping controls can be a nightmare sometimes and you can end up on a totally wrong side or worse, in the water, which will cause the last checkpoint loading screen (protagonist is a tough warrior but for some reason he cannot swim). The good thing about this game is that it is just a bit of a boring prologue to a few much better Assassin’s Creed games (II, Brotherhood…).    … Expand

    Game had many groundbreaking features but did not age well. The gameplay is super repetitive and the controls are frustrating and tedious. The way that you unlucky your gear and abilities is also strange and immersion ruining.

    The game which started the juggernaut franchise for Ubisoft still feels very raw in gameplay and presentation. The story isn't gripping nor are the actual mechanics of the game. It was from this uncut title that they fashioned an entire mini genre. This first game however need not be revisited.

If you want to kill them, u need informations. But we get informations with same thing in all missions. To boring. Only interesting things is start of the game, assassination of templars, and end of the game.

    Openworld is to bad, i only made "synchronize the viewpoints". Combat and Parkour is best on the AC series. There is only few characters. I only remember Altair, Mentor, and our last Assassination target. And its a woman. Not our main villian.

    It attempts a lot of ambitious things and it almost succeeds at every one. But it's apparent that these grandiose ideas may have been a little too much to master the first go-round. But hey, at least the groundwork is laid for a killer sequel -- right, Ubisoft?
