After Revisiting The First Assassin’s Creed, I’m Realizing How Much Was Lost

The first Assassin's Creed game is far from perfect, and I'll probably never forgive it for giving us Ubisoft towers. That said, I've always held a soft spot for the game, and have found myself lamenting how much of a departure some recent entries in the series are from the original Assassin's Creed concept. Not knowing if I was simply blinded by nostalgia, I watched a few gameplay videos of the original game after Assassin's Creed Shadows got delayed, and was pleasantly surprised to see I wasn't fully wrong about the series having lost something special.
