About Assassin's Creed™: Director's Cut Edition

✦ AI summary

Play as Altair, a master assassin in 12th century Holy Land, where you stalk and eliminate targets across richly detailed open environments using stealth, parkour, and brutal combat. Every action ripples through a living world where crowds react to your presence, offering unparalleled freedom in how you approach each mission.

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.
  • 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.

What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Players praise the game's atmospheric design and engaging story, with some considering it a great franchise entry despite its age. However, the game is plagued with technical issues including startup crashes, progression-blocking bugs, poor controller support, and platform-specific stability problems that make it difficult to play on Windows without workarounds.

In my opinion, as someone who’s been a fan of the series since the Ezio trilogy up to Origins, I would personally skip and watch a lore/playthrough video on this one, and go straight to AC2 unless you're an AC enthusiast instead of casually gaming. The gameplay structure is super repetitive. You investigate a target, pickpocket, eavesdrop, and interrogate until you finally assassinate the person you were tasked with killing, then escape. This is what you do for literally the entire game. The side missions aren’t really that rewarding, though they can be useful in certain situations. You can save civilians to gain vigilantes, or use scholars to blend into certain areas, but they’re not really that useful if you can just parkour your way in and out. These missions are also the same in every single area, so they get repetitive after the first couple of times you do them. Though, I’ll give credit where credit is due with the story since its the foundation of the series. You start as an overly arrogant Assassin who blindly follows the Creed and genuinely believes that the world is divided between good and evil. However, you fail a retrieval mission and get demoted back down to the ba…

At the moment, this game doesn't function or work without the use of mods, and if you're using controller, this also requires you to spend a long time in the community button layouts aswell as ingame controls. Initially opening this game without the relevant mods to fix it will crash, and it's abhorrent that Steam wants money for this despite that. That being said, once working, the game is fine, and despite being so old it does run well *with mods*. I played this game with both PS4 & 5 controllers. PS4 was SO much worse to setup, i went with one of the top community layouts on steam and still had to adjust settings. I was also confused as no one seemed to mention that it's finicky to even get said layout to work since sometimes the controller option wouldn't show up ingame. Overtime I had a very silly step by step to ensure i could play the damn thing: plug in controller prior > open DS4 Windows and get that connected > re-enable my controller layout on steam > open through steam > go to control settings > change to Controller (Xbox) > make sure all 4 main buttons were allocated correctly, then the weapon wheel, high profile, map, menu and target lock to what i wanted. Most import…

A classic Assassin's Creed experience. The story, atmosphere, and historical setting are fantastic, and the parkour and stealth are still enjoyable. I really liked exploring the world and following Altar's journey. The gameplay can feel repetitive at times, but overall it's a memorable game and definitely worth playing. Highly recommended!
