Altair in Assassin's Creed is an excellent assassin. However, he is arrogant and has to accept from his master Al Mualim, who demotes him to a novice.
Altair's case
Altair is overbearing and that brings with it Assassins injured and dead. Al Mualim demotes him and Altair has to start the assassin journey from scratch. His bloody trail leads from Jerusalem via Acre and Damascus to the master assassin.
In the memory of the past
Actually, you don't play Altair at all. Altair is a genetic memory of a descendant of his. Desmond is a prisoner and is forced to relive his ancestor's memories.
In search of goals
From the orders, the map shows you your goals. This includes sources of information, suspicious people and his targets, who die when he meets him. It can also move through the country on horseback. For example, you save scholars from soldiers who are still looking for a fight. This will give you allies who will hide you from your opponents when in doubt.
The tasks in the city
Before you complete your final tasks in the respective city, you have to complete at least 6 tasks. In total there are 9 variants of orders. You eavesdrop on conversations, steal or look for flags. You explore the city via towers, conduct further investigations and kill your targets. With the acrobatics, the atmosphere and the plot, the game is quite captivating.
Acrobatic climbing actions
Altair certainly knows how to inspire with his acrobatics. He climbs over the roofs of the cities, jumps over chasms and grabs onto ledges at the last second to trade one up. The highest towers give you a panorama-like overview.
Atmospherically through the Orient
The society of the cities creates the atmosphere. People trade in the alleys and carry jars through the streets. The city guard is on patrol to make sure no one is up to mischief. All this ensures a breathtaking liveliness in the game.
The war profiteers
Altair has to kill nine people. They are the war profiteers who are plunging the country into the abyss. Slave traders, businessman or doctor belong to it. Altair talks to them in her last minutes. They show points that cast doubt on the assassin.
Summary
Assassin's Creed is an excellent adventure and action game. The downer is the repetitions in the orders that keep coming up. The scenario is interesting and knows how to inspire with its atmosphere. You can move very well all over the country and Altair himself is an excellent climber. In any case, you should have played this game.
