Better than I remember. Still has a lot of issues.

For the first game of the franchise it was amazing. Visually it still holds up fairly well. The combat is slower in this game unless you know how to use your hidden blade in combat by watching for the guard who is getting sick and assassinating him and continuously doing that until they're all dead. The combat in the later games spoiled us. The story is solid but not flawless. Collecting all of the flags for the achievement was actually really annoying because there were just too many.

Assassin's Creed introduced a groundbreaking concept to the gaming industry with its innovative gameplay and historical setting. Despite its repetitiveness at times, it was a standout title that set the stage for future entries in the series.

For the first time I tried a game from the Assasin Creed franchise and it wasn't a very good experience.

The story of the game is interesting, about the brotherhood of assassins against the Crusade, but the story of Desmond in this game is so boring that only the end of it manages to interest you a little.

Altaïr's design is interesting and simple, but the gameplay makes you want to know more about him, even Desmond is more interesting.

The gameplay is innovative for its time, especially being able to parkour in a variety of real-life locations, as well as scaling, which is fun.

However, the combat in this game is horrible, the enemy's AI is very dumb, it can eliminate itself trying to find out where you are and it's very repetitive, the enemies are always the same.

The way this game tells you to do missions is always repetitive, you go to point A to find out information about the target, then go to the target and eliminate it, that's it 11 TIMES, it's very repetitive and boring as hell.

In short, this game was interesting and innovative at the time, but it's gotten as old as milk.
