Assassin's Creed came out in a year which defined what games are we going to play for years to come. 2007 was truly special and Assassin's Creed is also one of the most important franchises of today. It is a cleverly combined work of art, that fuses history, sci-fi and drama, that is sadly chosen to be a videogame instead of a movie.

The writing is stellar, as I enjoyed every bit of dialogue and interaction between Altair and the rest of the characters, but I was utterly disappointed by the repetitive nature of the investigations, which are mandatory, and cannot be skipped. It would have been nice to just go in blindly into these spots, improvising without actually learning about the targets, and I wanted more equipment, more side activites and all that.

However, Assassin's Creed's atmosphere is unmatched in my opinion, as it has an absurdly edgy but very enjoyable feel to it when you are playing it.

Overall, I think this is a good starting point for a franchise, but a very shallow experience when it comes to actual gameplay. There is a lot to improve, and I know it is going to be much better with later entries.

Also, how on earth is this game this beautiful?! It is from 2007 and it still looks really good.
