Assassin's Creed 1 is good. If you are wanting to play it like me to get that taste of early assassins creed then i recommend you wait for a sale because its simply not worth full price. Expect to get about 10 hours of gameplay from just completing the main story (there are no real side quests) however to 100% your save or playthough, expect around 15 hours of gameplay. this game off rip has issues and i will list the main two i had issues with. 1. The game tries to constantly connect to old/no longer existing ubisoft servers which cause frequent freezing. i fixed this with a easy mod from nexus mods that stops this from happening. https://www.nexusmods.com/assassinscreed/mods/81 2. i reccomend using with a controller however your controller wont be detected properly meaning you cannot use your joystick to look around and many buttons wont match the input the game is telling you to push. to fix this i used another mod from nexus and it works with my playstation 5 controller. https://www.nexusmods.com/assassinscreed/mods/55 IMPORTANT. do not download these mods with vortex as the ywont work, instead follow the on page instructions that the mod page description provides. My personal experience with this game has been extremely enjoyable and intriguing. Given the old nature of this game i was more drawn in by how primitive their parkour system was and it helped me understand how they expanded on it in later games. The parkour is fairly slower to the point where you can really pay attention to how the animations connect to the terrain and buildings. Another thing i really enjoyed was just the story and how you go about it. MILD SPOILER: you are tasked with killing 9 leaders or peoples in command and each one requires you to do mini side missions which upon completion will grant you information on your target of which you will need to remember if you want the information advantage against the target. this happens for all targets and is fairly immersive for what it is. the story is well written with a nice twist that i wont spoil but that is it for my review. i never played this game during its prime but that makes my positive review all the more reliable when i say its worth getting. "May peace and safety be upon you"

BEFORE PLAY, GET THIS MOD ASAP: ( https://www.nexusmods.com/assassinscreed/mods/81 )it makes it so that AC1 won't try to ping a dead ubisoft server and stops the random freezing, Really good game (Minus the freezing without the mod) it's overall a really good. Don't play the newer AC games before this there is no fast climbing, 8.5/10 would replay again

The first Assassin's Creed is an old nostalgia bomb that introduced a lot of the mechanics we're very used to by now in every open world game. If it's your first attempt at any Asssassin's Creed game I might actually advice you to skip it. Two reasons; One, while it truly stood out among previous games of its era it can feel clunky and lackluster for those that are more used to newer generations of games. The story also doesn't stand enough out to make up for this. Two, there're several bugs that makes the game unplayable before you've done several fixes. I'll explain how to fix these. But if you're someone that enjoys and appreciate older games for what they brought, and how they inspired future generations of games. And you prefer to play the game rather than watch a youtube video about it, for those looking for a playthrough of the entire series. Then I can for sure recommend it. Fixes: First: Download DXSETUP. It's supposed to happen automatic but since they shut down the servers it for some reason either skips doing so or just goes into a never ending download that you just have to cancel in the end. To do the download without issues go into files "this PC">Program Files(x86)>Steam>steamapps>common>Assassin's Creed>DirectX There you should find DXSETUP if you scroll a bit, double click and follow steps given to download. Second: This is for those that want to play with a controller, which I assume is most. First you have to connect the controller to steam, search steam controller setup on Google. Afterwards it should be a box on the right side of steam mentioning configurations and that it's connected. However this is not enough, you now have to go into the game. Make a save file and then change the settings of said save file where you have to switch from keyboard/controller to just controller as input to make it work at all. I'll also advice you to change the button layouts if it's not put up correctly, at least I had that issue. Looking around where on certain buttons instead of joystick, attack, freerun and grapple was flipped.etc Third: Since the servers got shut down there's been a huge issue with the game just freezing up every 20-30 seconds for 5-10 seconds. Kinda destroys the enjoyment of the game. It's however easily fixed in a kinda annoying way. You simply have to be disconnected from the internet while playing. The reason is as long as you are connected to the internet, the game will continue to try and connect to its servers. As earlier mentioned, theses servers doesn't exist anymore, which leads to the game continuously freezing whenever it tries to ping for something that doesn't exist. Hope this review was helpful, and sorry for any bad grammar as English is not my first language.

This game was amazing when it came out. Saying it’s okay now makes sense because the formula evolved with like 15 different games. But you gotta put yourself in the shoes of someone in 2007 who’s never seen a game like this before. I remember being impressed by the fact that you could climb any building you wanted to. It definitely is very basic by today's standards but back in 2007 there was nothing like it.
