Hey wassa matta you Altaïr

p.s

over all enjoyed the game very underrated

You play as Desmond Miles, a bartender who gets kidnapped by an evil corporation and hooked up to a machine called the Animus. Through this magical Matrix-like device, you get to relive the genetic memories of your ancestor, Altair Ibn-La’Ahad, a 12th-century assassin who’s really good at three things: climbing, stabbing, and looking mysterious.

The story takes place during the Third Crusade, and your mission is simple: kill nine important people who are causing all sorts of trouble. But as you go about your assassinating, there’s a twist! Turns out, both the Templars and the Assassins are after some shiny, mystical artifact called the Apple of Eden that can control people’s minds—because history wasn’t already complicated enough.

Assassin’s Creed taught us, it’s that medieval rooftops were apparently designed specifically for parkour enthusiasts. Altair is like the Olympic gold medalist of climbing, and somehow every city in the Holy Land has buildings spaced just perfectly for your acrobatic needs. When you’re not doing parkour, you’re doing assassin-y things. The game prides itself on being about stealth, but let’s be real—stealth is optional in the same way that salad is optional at a barbecue. Sure, you could spend your time blending into crowds and sneaking up on your targets like a shadow in the night. Or, you could sprint at them full speed, stab them in the face, and then parkour your way out of the ensuing chaos while guards trip over each other trying to chase you.

The game is set in three main cities: Jerusalem, Acre, and Damascus. They’re all beautifully crafted, with bustling marketplaces, towering cathedrals, and enough beggars to make you wonder if medieval charity was just a scam. The cities feel alive, with crowds of people going about their business while you do your best to ignore them (or shove them out of your way). There’s a lot of space to explore, but not a ton of meaningful side content. Apart from your main targets, there are side tasks like saving citizens, collecting flags, and climbing towers, but these activities lack variety and depth.

Assassin's Creed is like the first pancake in a batch—you can tell it’s not perfect, but it’s still pretty good, and it shows promise for the next ones. The parkour is fun, the assassinations are satisfying, and the world is a beautifully crafted historical playground. Sure, the combat and mission structure get repetitive, and the AI can be hilariously dumb (especially when guards forget how stairs work), but the game laid the foundation for an iconic series.

If you're thinking about buying this game, know this: There's a high chance that your controller won't work. If it doesn't work, good luck fixing it lol. I couldn't figure it out. A lot of people have this same problem. I tried playing with kbm but I couldn't do it. Did not feel good. I miss this game, I love this game, but I can't play it. A shame. Oh and if you play with internet connected to you computer, it freeze constantly lol
