    Es un juego muy interesante con muy buenas mecánicas pero con el problema que el sigilo es muy pesado ya los guardias te atacan aunque no estés haciendo nada, solo por caminar sin ir rezando además que se vuelve muy repetitivo teniendo que hacer lo mismo todo el tiempo

    Innovative stealth/action game. While the combat and general game systems were unrefined, they led the way to a massive franchise. At the time of release, the story and world were gripping and left me wanting more.

    Clunky but a decent first title in a long running franchise. Get's a bit repetitive but the semi-open-world is fun to parkour through and explore.

    Does not hold up in the slightest. I played this for the first time in 2023 and it was one of the most clunky, frustrating, and directionless experiences I have had in gaming. So many bugs and a huge lack of polish. I cannot believe this launched one of gaming’s biggest franchises.

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    No doubt there are revolutionary game mechanics in this game. Most notably, its climbing system.

    Game gets pretty repetitive and boring tbh, it was good for the time but playing it now without rose tinted glasses its average. The climbing mechanics do indeed feel old, clunky and frustrating. However, i think its worth playing as its a stepping stone to the much better assassins creed games, it gives you an idea of the lore.

    The worst problem with this game and every other AC game is the missions, every single one feels identical and unmemorable when you look back on it.

    Probably one of the most overrated games of all time. I would recommend for everyone to never play this game ever. It's poorly designed and has no substance whatsoever. The devs clearly never touched it and neither should you.

    This is the most mixed game ever for me. On one hand, it's one of the most unique, intriguing, and thought-provoking games i've ever played. On the other, it's one of the most repetitive, annoying, and boring games i've ever played.

    Playing this in 2020 is weird. I see how this game jumpstarted a successful series: the concept has a lot of potential and the setup with Animus is smart. It's just not a great game yet. Kinda empty.

    Pros:
    * The leap of faith!
    * Pseudo-science of reading your genes to access memories
    * The assassins working in different cities has diverse personalities. And their attitude to Altair changes as you progress with the game. That's great.
    * Assassinations are the gem of the game. All the targets are weird and you attack them during their show off. Delicious! My favorite one was the fat sultan poisoning the crowd with the fountain. Bravo.
    * Free running missions are cool. Slow, methodical and enjoyable.

    Cons:
    * The cities look more or less the same. The real sightseeing starts with AC2.
    * Side-missions are repetitive and boring.
    * The one-button combat system sucks. The attack timing is weird. And with many enemies you just press X one million times. It gets especially repetitive during the final boss section. And because of that the game ends on the low note.
    * The main story twist is so cliche and can be seen from 100 miles away. It wasn't a surprise at all.
    * The achievements are just unfair. Collect 400+ flags, seriously? Replay the game to get all dialogue options with Lucy, gamedevs are you evil or what?
    * The Abstergo levels are also lame. You can't do anything. You can't even run.
    * Altair is an **** His personality is so negative and underdeveloped. So it's hard to emphasise with him. Ezio is going to be such a step up.
    * And finally, the Kingdom area is boring. It's just an empty loading screen not a great world-building.    … Expand

    A good game, that has the audacity to make something new with a well directed plot, but maybe by the limitations of the time that was launched, makes the game very boring on its course and make us lose a considerable time making missions that don't give us nothing in return.

The caveat is that this beautiful and fun game is pretty much the same mission repeated about a dozen times, which can get old/tedious pretty fast for some people. Luckily the game was so fun and visually breathtaking that it was easy for me to keep coming back until I eventually completed the game.

    la ou le bat blesse c'est au niveau de la structure du jeu qui ce veut très répétitives et ceux même en 2007, prend le cheval, allé dans la ville, parlé a l'assassin sur place, faire la mission, et reprenais cette formule pendant tout le jeu.
    les villes au nombre de 3 (Jerusalem, Damas, Acre) sont assez semblable dans leur design ce qui peut rebuter certains.

    le gameplay est vraiment très agréable a prendre en main, qui n'a pas rêver de pouvoir grimpé sur les toits de n'importe quelle bâtiment avec beaucoup de facilité, les combats sans être révolutionnaire, font le café.

    les personnages présent dans le jeu plutôt bien traité, que ce soit Robert De Sablé ou même Al Mualim ( qui est pour moi un personnage très intéressant dans la trame du jeu).
    le fait que le jeu ne se déroule pas que dans le passé, avec le personnage de Desmond Miles que l'on "contrôle" sur un petit laps de temps entre certaines séquences nous permet de comprendre que cette dualité que j’évoquais plus tôt est toujours d'actualité dans le présent du jeu.

    en conclusion ce jeu a énormément de qualité, mais certains défauts peuvent rebuter les moins patients d'entre nous. Les prémices du saga qui plaira pour certains ou exaspérera pour d'autres, avec un Altair qui encore aujourd'hui reste dans le cœur de beaucoup de joueurs.    … Expand

    Very fun and immersive gameplay. Extremely detailed world and realistic. However, the storyline was unconvincing and incohesive, and the finale was dissapointing. The artificial intelligence was very lacking in the "intelligence" department, and many of the features that you would think are really cool just end up being clunky or too inconvenient to ever use.

    Its stunning visual style, high concept story, and wildly open level design are like nothing else, even if too much repetition begins to frustrate in the later hours. It’s a game people will still be talking about five years from now.

    It's hard to put the sheer size and brilliance of Assassin's Creed into words. It is an epic game that you have to experience for yourself. I will caution that the game is not for the impatient or the faint of heart. While you can plow through the main storyline in under 20 hours, to truly get every single last shred of gaming goodness, you will probably have to put in twice that number.
