Definetly biased bc of the nostalgy but had a good time and the story is honnestly really solid. Liked the 3 cities and the effort put into historical context. Unfortunately after the first 3 assassinations the game gets extremely repetitive and kinda unnecessarily long. Movement was quite clunky too but most importantly side missions and investigations past the minimum threshold have 0 added value to the story or the assassination missions. It's a shame that each major story block eventually just ends up in a massive fight vs. 30+ guards (although combat mechanics are cool and definetly satisfying).
This game aged.
The once revolutionary parkour feels stiffer nowadays, the missions are repetitive, the environments are samey except for the landmarks and combat is clunky.
Recommended only if you want to see where the series started

The first Assassin’s Creed spawned a great series but you can 100% feel that this is the first game. I would recommend people give it a try but the repetitive game play and lack of memorable characters aside the main who is not much of a star himself may not grip everyone. Give it a try when entering the franchise but if you cannot make it through just watch a recap and you’ll get all you need.

Initially I was really into this game, however it soon proved to be repetitive and without any motivation (except for plot) to continue to play it further. However fighting and parkour was tremendous fun.
When this first came our, it was so inspired (and inspiring, turns out) and unique. The attention to historical accuracy, the surprisingly intuitive controls and combat system, the parkour even. It was, however extremely repetitive. This game was a proof of concept for what would become one of the most successful action/adventure game series of all time. Its a piece of gaming history that isn't unbareable to play by modern standards. Highly recommend, but just so receptive, I can't give it the exceptional.
