This certainly is the 1st AC game all right.
For as much flack as the new games get for not making you "feel like an assassin", this game is just about as bad in that regard in my opinion. For a game called Assassin's Creed, I spent maybe 2% of this game actually assassinating people, and the other 98% slogging trough the tedious swordplay. Not only that, but stealth assassinating your targets, you know, like an assassin would do, is incredibly hard to accomplish and downright impossible at times.
The story is just like the gameplay loop, i.e. incredibly boring and repetitive, although I will say the modern day story is actually really solid this time around. Not only that, but even though the story is bare bones, the philosophical questions it brings up are really interesting. Not enough to warrant a 2nd playthrough, but maybe enough for me to rewatch a couple of the cutscenes on YT to try and fully understand the dialogue and what it was trying to convey. You know, maybe it would have been easier for me to understand it all on my 1st playthrough if the game had FUKING SUBTITLES.
Needless to say, if this was my first introduction to the franchise, I would have not stuck with the series.

Fun ass game but 100% it completing is a pain. Most of the time getting extra collectibles doesn't come down to skill, but just wondering around the level aimlessly. Also, I know this is not the main focus, but this game's story has a really crappy ending, which is a shame since the premise of the world had a lot of potential (and yes, I did finish the "true" ending").

This is a game where King Big Smoke has to tell his daughter Princess Unikitty that she has to give up on her dear childhood friend, Morbius, because she was already married off to the prince of the neighborhood land, DaBaby.
This game is absolutely riding on the meme potential of being able to cast any character into the story, but if you can't find enough enjoyment in that alone, there is not much else to enjoy in this game. The combat is completely shallow and deprived of strategy, seeing as you can't control the other party members, and the story is basically non-existent. Not only that, but the game completely drags in the latter half, as at that point the game doesn't give you anymore more chances to add new characters into the story, snuffing out the only morphine-inducing thing in this game. Honestly, just download the demo; the best thing about this game is the character creator tool, and what do you know, all of that is right there for free.
