Good start to successful series

First game in the popular Assassin's Creed series, introducing the frame story for the sequels. I would recommend starting with this one, since later titles are more refined (so if you play the sequels, you notice improvements rather than taking them for granted and enjoying the first game less).

Probably the biggest flaw with the game is its repetitive nature. Each chapter involves going to a section of a city, completing a few tasks to gain intel about a target, and eliminating the target. The tasks aren't especially varied to begin with, but by the 8th or 9th go around, they start to wear thin, especially with a particular timed stealth mission (which accounts for a large part of the game's difficulty, although you can skip if you don't care about 100% completion, which includes a lot of flag collecting. If you do care about 100%, I would glance at a guide first because there is a missable achievement).

The assassination missions are well done, though, and the game itself is pretty fun even accounting for the repetition. I enjoyed the playthrough, even with the late frustration from that stealth mission and missing one flag, having to explore for a couple hours to get 100%.

New to Assassin's Creed. Wanted to start with the first one. I plan on playing the others. Great game. The ony thing I didn't like about it was it did get a little repetitive doing the same tasks over and over again before you would kill your target.
