The first time I read about Assassin’s Creed was an article in a magazine about the first game on the series, the setting and history was very interesting to me and I love stealth gameplay. So it did caught my attention at the time but unfortunatelly I couldn’t play because I didn’t have any of the platforms that were able to run it.
It was one of the first things I did when I got my gaming PC, it was expensive so I had nothing left to buy games and I really wanted to play Assassin’s Creed, there were five of them already at the time! I’ve played most of their titles, but stopped after Black Flag, which is a great one if you’re like me and enjoy pirate stuff, I spent hours and hours just sailing and singing sea shanties with my crew.
If you ever want to play, I recommend you playing at least the first one, with the first assassin Altaïr, and the Ezio saga (II, Brotherhood and Revelations) which is the most acclaimed of the series, even the books are a fun read, me and my sister enjoyed them. Action is a big part of these games, but there are many times that you can instead approach with strategy and stealth. A lot of interesting places to explore, huge amount of real world history to learn from the period of which each game passes, just keep in mind that some stuff is altered to fit the games’ own story. I got to be friends with Leonardo da Vinci!
