Assassin’s Creed was a masterpiece of its time: Eidos Montreal developed a brand new engine just to capture Altair Ibn La-Ahad in his truest form, directed his story in beautiful detail, and gave gamers their first taste of being part of the brotherhood and taking up the creed.
I’m a huge fan of the AC games, having played through most of them, but I cannot, in earnest, recommend you play this game. A masterpiece once but for the standards of 2023, it will merely frustrate you every time you want to take it seriously. The revolutionary free-running movement system is unforgiving at the best of times; incredible direction is met with generally wooden dialogue; and a fulfilling target hunting experience is met with painfully repetitive information-gathering experiences and assassination experiences.
If you want to tap into what amazon Altair’s story has, Oliver Bowden’s novelisation of this game (with bits taken from later games) is a brilliant read, and you’ll enjoy it far more than the miniscule detail this game gives you.
