Assassin's Creed

Assassin's Creed is a revolutionary 3D action and adventure stealth game created and published by Ubisoft that has introduced worldwide audiences to the expansive and history-focused world of Assassins and Templars.



Originally released on home consoles and PC in 2007, the incredible potential of this title quickly spawned several sequels, which promoted this franchise into one of the best-selling titles of French game publishing giant Ubisoft.

The story of Assassin's Creed is centered on the exploits of Desmond Miles, who tries to find an escape from the experimental facility of Abstergo Corporation and the shadowy Templars by examining the “genetic memories” hidden inside his bloodline.

With the help of their technology, he dives back to the past to experience first hand the adventures of his distant relative Altair, one of the famous members of the secretive Assassin society which was formed to eliminate all traces of Templars and stop their plans to rule the world.



Set in the expansive and detailed cities Damascus, Acre, and Jerusalem during the height of the medieval Crusades, this game allows players not only to take control of very agile and capable assassins but also learn about history and experience a great fictional story that recontextualizes many famous historical figures and events with the new light.

The player can openly fight Templar opponents, but the only sure way toward victory lies in deception, stealth, hiding in plain sight, striking from the shadows, eliminating targets using a cleverly hidden blade, and taking advantage of the verticality of these historic cities.

The hero Altair can easily climb vertical surfaces, jump between rooftops of tall buildings, observe his environments from the tops of the highest structures, and even jump down to the ground and survive.

Even though Assasin’s Creed 1 has popularized the entire franchise and paved the way for numerous sequels that came after it, the core gameplay loop of this title was criticized for repetitiveness.



Still, this title has a lot to offer, and modern PC gamers can enjoy it as a vital part of this large franchise. The best thing yet, since it has come out so long ago, this title can today be easily played on even the most modest gaming PCs and even laptops.
