About Assassin's Creed: Director's Cut Edition

About this game

Assassin's Creed™ is the next-gen game developed by Ubisoft Montreal that redefines the action genre. While other games claim to be next-gen with impressive graphics and physics, Assassin's Creed merges technology, game design, theme and emotions into a world where you instigate chaos and become a vulnerable, yet powerful, agent of change.
The setting is 1191 AD. The Third Crusade is tearing the Holy Land apart. You, Altair, intend to stop the hostilities by suppressing both sides of the conflict.
You are an Assassin, a warrior shrouded in secrecy and feared for your ruthlessness. Your actions can throw your immediate environment into chaos, and your existence will shape events during this pivotal moment in history.

Key Features

  • Be an Assassin - Master the skills, tactics and weapons of history's deadliest and most secretive clan of warriors. Plan your attacks, strike without mercy and fight your way to escape.
  • Experience exclusive PC content - Four PC-exclusive investigation missions make the game an even better experience than its console predecessors, including the Rooftop Race Challenge, a race to a specified location and the Archer Stealth Assassination Challenge, where the player must assassinate all archers in a certain zone to help out fellow Assassins.
  • Realistic and responsive environments - Experience a living, breathing world in which all your actions have consequences. Crowds react to your moves and will either help or hinder you on your quests.
  • Action with a new dimension-total freedom - Eliminate your targets wherever, whenever and however. Stalk your prey through richly detailed, historically accurate, open-ended environments. Scale buildings, mount horses, blend in with crowds. Do whatever it takes to achieve your objectives.
  • Relive the epic times of the Crusades - Assassin's Creed immerses you in the realistic and historical Holy Land of the 12th century, featuring life-like graphics, ambience and the subtle, yet detailed nuances of a living world.
  • Intense action rooted in reality - Experience heavy action blended with fluid and precise animations. Use a wide range of medieval weapons, and face your enemies in realistic swordfight duels.
  • Next-gen gameplay - The proprietary engine developed from the ground up for the next-gen console allows organic game design featuring open gameplay, intuitive control scheme, realistic interaction with environment and a fluid, yet sharp, combat mechanic.

The game is fun, yet tedious. The game is broken up into 2 segments, the Altair segments and the Desmond segments, and while the Altair segments are the majority of the game, I find myself wanting to know more about Desmond and why he's doing these experiments. As for the Altair sections, as a completionist I am sorely disappointed. There are 420 flags scattered throughout the game and 60 templar, basically field bosses, to take out...and you get nothing for any of them. No in game reward, no achievements, nothing. It's an enormous waste of time. As for the story missions, those are fun to learn about the target and how to get to them, and every part of each city has side quests of sorts, where you can climb to get great views of the city, which is always fun, and once you've done that, there are between 8 and 12 in each section, you get the chance to help random citizens, there are usually around 8-9 of these per section. It's all a lot of fun, and each one gives you 1 point! After racking up 15 points, you essentially get a heart container of sorts. But here's the thing, the story missions, of which there are 6 of in each level, each give you a point as well, and once you hit a total of 105 points, they completely stop doing anything. So there's a ton to do in the game, but no reason to do them. It could have been SO good, but it falls short. This is my first Assassin's Creed game, and I look forward to playing the rest of the series! Overall I'd give it a 6/10, with 5 being middle of the road. It's fun to run around and just stab people randomly, and to learn about the hits and see ancient Mesopotamia in all it's glory, but the collectables fal short

- So, what is Assassin’s Creed? - Story-wise it is about time travel and the secret war among Assassins and Templars. You briefly play in the present as Desmond Miles who, for reasons that I won’t spoil, has to relive the memories of his ancestor Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad. However most of your time is spent in the animus playing as him. He is an Assassin Monk awarded with the task of killing 9 Templars to regain his role in the Order of Assassins. TLDR you parkour, steal, extort, eavesdrop and spy your way to victory in the middle age. Back in the late 2000’s the parkour system of Assassin’s Creed was impressive. No game at the time could match how realistic and dynamic it was… well… as realistic as a game that lets you drop from a 50-meters tower and survive by landing on a haystack can be. Assassin’s Creed is all about making you feel like a skilled deadly monk that gathers information to hunt down their target. It achieves that, but it’s rough around the edges. ! More questions you might have if you're interested in playing it ! - Is the parkour fun? - The thing that I like the most about the parkour system in Assassin’s Creed is that it feels like something that you could do in real life, again ignoring the haystack thing. Comparing it with how modern Assassin’s Creed games do parkour, I think this one is better at making you think about how you move, overall it’s fun but buggy. - Can I be stealthy? - The “stealth” system in this game is bare bones. I like the idea of “hiding in plain sight” using crowds of people, but it could really use some more polishing. Ubisoft fixed this problem on Assassin’s Creed 2. As for this game, being stealthy is something that you may be forced to do from time to time, but you won’t necessarily enjoy it. - At least fighting stuff is enjoyable, right? - The combat is simple, a little bit too simple for my taste. You spam the attack button until your target is dead. Sometimes you have to block, dodge, parry or push enemies into insta-kill objects, but most of the time spamming attacks will do the job. Again the system is fun, stiff and buggy, but fun. Rating: 2.8/5 (3 stars) Full Review: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/UnitedCritics/discussions/0/4312743731812243176/
