    As a French I thought this opus would be my favorite of all AC license and yet it actually was the opposite.
    I didn't like the fact that you were stuck inside the walls of a single town (Paris) with tons of things to do but way too repetitive. Plus I had a lot of bugs and optimisations issues. Good graphics tho.

    Really the worst assassin's creed ever made, crap game.

    Beyond the technical problems the game it's really boring, a really poor combat system, missions all the same,

    No diving
    No hunting
    No dart
    Few weapons, poor equipment, poor personalization,

    One of the worst game i ever made !!!!

    Well... I'm not happy with the note I'm giving to this game, but I gotta be honest. It has major problems! The story so far is not disappointing, but not spectacular as well. It is a little cliche, but doesn't ruin the game. What is really really bad here: the hardware requirements. Everybody is saying this... EVERYBODY!!! So, it's gotta be true and not just haters cry.

It's a mess... complete mess!!! The controls don't respond properly either. To run this game nice and smooth, you need a monster computer. Something really really expensive, specially here where I live (Brazil). It was very very disappointing. My computer is not that bad... I have a R9 270X and even in medium graphics quality I feel like in the past, trying to run GTA IV in a poor computer. It freezes, the fps is ridiculous... I'm sad.

    I'm really sad because the game in general is awesome! It's not just more of the same. It is in some way, but AC fans are used to it... and LOVE IT! We want more AC, new stories, new mysteries, new characters and Unity gives us all this! But in a way that is too much expensive to feel happy about it...

    -Micro-transations always in your face.
    -Pop-in textures and models even up close which will never be patched.

    This game is not worth your money. Pirate it and then never play it.

    As of February 2015, this game still has bugs that causes crashing and other odd things to happen. Ubisoft sold an unfinished game that needed many months more testing.

    I really think this will be the last time I am tricked by Ubisoft unless the next one gets rounds of 9's and 10's and is certified bug free. Therefore, I'll likely never play another Assassin's Creed in my lifetime.

    So I tried it today in 2019. Recreation of France is really nice even for few years old game. But that's it about positives and the only reason I'm giving any points in the score.
    Control of the player especially during parkour is horrible. It's even hard to call it a 'control' when the character is actually out of control. Want to jump forward? Ok but the character will decide to jump

    Control of the player especially during parkour is horrible. It's even hard to call it a 'control' when the character is actually out of control. Want to jump forward? Ok but the character will decide to jump backward because why not? Not to mention that it's not even possible to predict where player can jump and where he can't, very useful feature when you want to run away and you stuck and got shot because you can't jump.
    Another thing is that progress level demand playing side missions or playing main missions with lower level than recommended for the next mission. Do I should maybe buy some microt...
    I'm so disappointed. I love story driven adventure games and it's another after Assassins Creed Odyssey that I decided to uninstall to not bother with such bad games (Odyssey for other reasons). It seems that AC series is not for me. I prefer games where I have full control over my character and progression level is done the right way based on my progress not on playing boring side missions or paying bribe to get boost it.

    Hace poco adquirí el juego para mi PC (AMD Ryzen 5, GTX 1080 ti, 16 GB Ram, 1 TB HDD), y pese un par de errores de texturas, el juego me ha funcionado bien. La verdad me gusta el trasfondo de la saga de Assassin's Creed, con los Templarios, y que toquen temas históricos. Pero, por qué le pongo un cero?
    - Porque lo conseguí pirata, dado que en su época lo compré con un amigo que tiene un PC (que tenía un FX 8370, GTX 980 ti, 12 GB Ram), y la verdad que fueron los 70 dólares peor invertidos.
    - Por la cantidad enfermiza de bugs que tuvo esa versión (la original), son tantos que si los enumero, me da para escribir 4 hojas enteras.
    - Porque al momento de devolver el juego, la querida Ubi nos negó la devolución, y nos dio a cambio Watch Dogs (otra porquería de juego más buggeada que AC Unity)
    - Sobre todo, por el maldito DENUVO (el sistema antipiratería), que es lo que hace que los juegos de Ubi estén así de jodidos.

    Claro que no le voy a echar la culpa a la developer (Ubisoft Montreal), sino a la publisher, que es la misma sede en Francia de Ubisoft, porque son quienes dan las órdenes de sacar juegos apresurados, mostrar trailers impresionantes, poner microtransacciones en juegos de 70 dólares, para sacar más dinero...

    Ubisoft, qué te ha pasado? Yo que disfrutaba con sagas como Rayman, Farcry, Tom Clancy... ahora tengo que piratear tus juegos... por favor, quitá ese DENUVO de una vez porque ya no cuela...

    Pero creo que la culpa la tienen los usuarios, que se compran el juego de forma masiva, seducidos por los tráilers, y luego se terminan comiendo un juego muy mal optimizado, pero que defienden porque su youtuber de culto lo andaba promocionando (y que le han regalado la copia de prensa y encima, le han dado sus maletines por ello). De verdad tenemos que esperar 2 o 3 años para que arreglen sus juegos terriblemente optimizados? Nos han visto la cara de tontos?

    SI NO ESTÁS SEGURO DE LO QUE ES EL JUEGO, O NO TE CONVENCE, NO LO COMPRES! NO VALE LA PENA TIRAR 70 DÓLARES PARA LUEGO COMERTE UN JUEGO QUE SABE A UN BUEN TRABAJO PERO ARRUINADO POR PARTE DE SU PUBLISHER.

    I recently acquired the game for my PC (AMD Ryzen 5, GTX 1080 ti, 16 GB Ram, 1 TB HDD), and despite a couple of textural errors, the game worked well for me. I really like the background of the saga of Assassin's Creed, with the Templars, and touch historical issues. But why do I put a zero?
    - Because I got it pirated, since in his time I bought it with a friend who has a PC (he had an FX 8370, GTX 980 ti, 12 GB Ram), and the truth is that it was the 70 dollars worse invested.
    - For the unhealthy amount of bugs that version had (the original), there are so many that if I list them, I get to write 4 whole sheets.
    - Because at the time of returning the game, the beloved Ubi denied us the return, and gave us in return Watch Dogs (another game crap more bugged than AC Unity)
    - Above all, by the damn DENUVO (the anti-piracy system), which is what makes Ubi games so screwed up.

    Of course I will not blame the developer (Ubisoft Montreal), but the publisher, which is the same headquarters in France of Ubisoft, because they are the ones who give the orders to take out rushed games, show impressive trailers, put microtransactions in $ 70 games, to get more money ...

    Ubisoft, what happened to you? I enjoyed with sagas like Rayman, Farcry, Tom Clancy ... now I have to pirate your games ... please, remove that DENUVO at once because it does not strain ...

    But I think it's the users' fault, that they buy the game in a massive way, seduced by the trailers, and then they end up eating a very poorly optimized game, but they defend because their cult youtuber was promoting it (and that they have given the press copy and they have given him their briefcases for it). Do we really have to wait 2 or 3 years for them to fix their terribly optimized games? They have seen us the face of fools?

    IF YOU ARE NOT SURE OF WHAT THE GAME IS, OR DO NOT CONVINCE, DO NOT BUY IT! NOT WORTH THE PENALTY TO DROP 70 DOLLARS THEN COME A GAME THAT KNOWS A GOOD JOB BUT RUINED BY THEIR PUBLISHER.

    This is the worst piece of trash in recent memory. I have a GTX TITAN X now and can't even get past the logos on startup. Crash Crash Crash... and there's no fix whatsoever. A $4,000 can't even run this thing. I used to have two 780ti's in SLI and couldn't even perform.

    Even without all the bugs, this game is mediocre at best. The new parkour control is horrible. The character always goes directions against my will. Combat system is utter rubbish. The automatic lock system is a joke. And side missions are just boring and repetitive, and dont make any sense story-wise. . And with all the microtransactions, this game deserved to go free.

    I'm not a big fan of the changes. Compared to the combat in Shadows of Mordor or some of the better Assassin Creed games this is a huge let down.

    That said the city of Paris is amazingly detailed. I've never been but playing this game makes me want to visit. It would be fun to walk around the building with an Oculus Rift.

He constantly goes into the wrong position thus blowing my cover.

    The last drop for me was accidentally clicking the DLC on the mini-map because I just wanted to fast travel to a mission. I tried to go back to Paris, but it was impossible and I wasn't prepared for the Dead Kings. After a couple of hours trying to leave the DLC I just had enough. I simply quit and uninstalled the game. Never touching an AC game again, until they get their sh.t together.

    At least I still have Black Flag, which is fun unlike this piece of crap.

    (oh and I forgot. Optimization is not so great either. The textures are loading slowly thus making the game sometimes look like it's from the PS2 era and occasionally it just stutters. I don't know why, because Witcher 3 runs flawlessly for me, which looks so much better. I have r9 390 and i5-4690)

The game runs smoothly for the most part on my pretty fast computer, but every now and then there's a weird slow-down where the game becomes unresponsive. Afterwards, I find Arno climbing an invisible wall with no way to get down except exiting the game. Because most of the sessions aren't very fun, I usually don't restart the game.

    The layout of the map and the large number of civilians makes running around on rooftops faster than street travel again for the first time in years. Unfortunately, Ubi changed the free-running system to now require pressing an extra button for up or down. The system isn't tuned well, and while the system does allow a person to run around a corner or around an obstacle without inadvertently climbing, it is still a major step back in terms of fluidity of control.

    Combat is awful - where in previous games a player could cut down a crowd like Chow Yun Fat, Arno is not a very good fighter. The visual cues for parry timing have been tweaked, and they are not as effective - especially coupled with the slow-down that often occurs in very crowded areas while fighting. Further, there seems to be no way to prevent getting shot (the last several games had a human shield maneuver). Worst of all, 90% of the trademark assassin moves (air kills, stealth kills, etc) are unavailable until purchased with one of the FOUR in-game currencies. Combat has taken a HUGE step back in this iteration of the series.

    In previous games, Ubi tried to train us to accept running around a map looting chests as a substitute for gameplay. In this game, Ubi moves to step two: exploiting the now-ingrained chest hunting by making chests that can variously only be opened in co-op, using the smart-phone app, or using real-money to buy points. The map is so filled with markers for collectable objects, which as far as I can tell offer no significant benefit upon being collected, that it makes navigation a little frustrating. And the map itself is soooo huge that missions often require running a tremendous distance between objectives, just like the old days. I would've preferred to have the map broken into separate pieces with many more fast-travel options.

    A phenomenal storyline woudn't be enough to save this game, but it's irrelevant. Arno is an insipid character, like a shadow of Ezio, who as an orphan doesn't even have family members to use as a vehicle for driving the story. Overall, Unity is my least favorite Assassin's Creed game ever and probably the most disappointing AAA game I've ever played. Even AC: Liberation HD, the port from a mobile platform, exceeds this game in every measurable way short of outright visual fidelity. The only good thing I have to say about Unity at this point is that Ubi gave me a free copy of FC4 for being unlucky enough to buy Unity at full price.

    the plot/dialogue on the other hand leaves a lot to be desired. it's hard to find any credibility in an opener when some unknown caller with a false name tells you within a minute of talking to you that there is a centuries old conspiracy and battle between good and evil, templars and assassins, and that YOU are suddenly one of the chosen ones. yeah right, pull the other one, it's got bells on ... as believable as the one about the Nigerian president's ex-wife wanting to transfer 1259509 billion into your account, etc... but some people do fall for that so go figure ...

    It's a shame that Ubisoft did not learn from their previous games. They took out what made Black Flag good and put in repetitive stuff from other AC games.

    I was willing to forgive the glitches since I didn't get nearly as many (Waited a week and a half to play it since I played Rogue first), but the cliche ending was horribly written and completely ruined an otherwise 7/10 game. Ubisoft's hired a bunch of 15 year old boys to write this one, it's worse than Mass Effect 3.

    I was not lagging or anything, less glitch then expected ! This is not that bad !
    I feel like this just an assassin in Paris, killing people. The theme is not strong enough to support the game like it's predecessors. Before it was... a BROTHERHOOD, PIRATES,etc... But this ? I don't know. Guards don't run after you, they don't care about whatever you are doing. I tried really hard to like

I'm disappointed by this game, take a break Ubisoft and come back with something stronger. I was skipping every dialogues, scenes... They were so pointless.

    But, graphics looks great. Not the best have seen, but some things are interesting.

    The story - 3/10

    News flash, 24 fps is not cinematic. I have an great rig for gaming and it should not have a problem running this game. However fps drops happen very often and bugs ruin the fun of the game. Also, just because we liked a game in a franchise. Doesn't mean we want the same thing over and over again. It seems to me you copied and pasted the previous game but had an issue somewhere.

    I've played version 1.5 and it is still bugged. Most annoying part - I've got constant crashes just in the end in sequence 12. Beside that game is one of the most boring AC ever. Repetitive gameplay and story. I appreciate refreshed game engine and fact that creators wanted to make assassination more stealth like, however i was still able to kill all enemies using brute-force.

    Poor game, worst of the series so far. It does not run well even on high-end PCs. No creativity and absolutely no innovation. Boring story. Last but not least, the game is overcrowded with BUGS. Taking into account insane price this game deserves 0. I will give it some credit for nice graphics, though.

Stunning graphics (and facial animations) can’t hide the huge amount filler missions / collectibles and awful implementation of the traditional Assassin’s Creed parkour / free-running system. Unity is easily one of the more frustrating entries in the franchise. Oh, and there are co-op missions. Not that anyone is playing.
    Total size on my hard drive: 49.4 GB

    + Great graphics. The level of detail is superb. Facial animations are generally great too.
    + Loved the massive crowds. Blending into a crowd feels completely natural.
    + Co-op works well, though good luck randomly finding anyone to play with.
    + Well-optimized on PC in 2017.
    + Great soundtrack.
    + Ubisoft was clearly trying for Ezio 2.0 with Arno Dorian; he is charming one instant and grittily determined the next. A good character, even if his arc is something we’ve seen before from Ubisoft.

    +/- The story is… odd. Someone brings a blindfolded Templar into the Assassin headquarters (seriously?!). Another has a traitor taking extreme action because – he wasn’t good at arguing, wasn’t able to convince someone of his point of view? Things frequently happen because the plot needs them to happen, not because they make any particular sense.

    - Many story elements feel half-baked. A sword of Eden? Where did it come from? Who made it? How did wind up in France in the 14th century? What is its significance to the sage? No clue.
    - Arno’s Eagle vision doesn’t function like Ezio’s or even Edward’s. It only serves to highlight enemies and objects of interest – it can’t trace the steps of patrol patterns.
    - An attempt to introduce boss battles mostly fails. The final boss starts well, but ends as a joke as the exact same pattern can be repeated multiple times to win – the boss never adjusts to a particular tactic.
    - Poorly designed assassination missions. Either too easy or too hard. I breezed through almost every 5-star difficulty mission, but died repeatedly on several 3-star missions.
    - Edge-detection, so important in a parkour / free-running game, is some of the worst in the Assassin’s Creed franchise. There are some classic gifs of Ezio, Altair, and others randomly leaping to their deaths, getting stuck on merchant stalls, and the like. But this kind of thing happens so often in Unity it’s not funny. Worse, it creates issues when trying to stealth. Sometimes Arno will slip through a window when asked, other times he perches on edge of the roof like an idiot, twitching but not going through the window. Sometimes he’ll go in the direction the camera is facing; more often, though, he’ll go across the camera. I understand that optimizing a world of the size of Unity’s would require a titanic amount of work, but it doesn’t feel like Ubisoft even optimized their algorithm, formula, parameter, or what ever it is they used for the edge-detection.
    - The delay before standing up from a chest, or taking off running, or getting back on your feet after being knocked down is programmed into the animation. I though it was input lag at first, but it’s not. I wonder who the idiot was who thought that was a good idea. Combine this with the issues with edge-detection, and AC Unity is easily one of the most frustrating games I’ve ever played.
    - Combat is heavy-footed and clumsy. No more kill-chains. Or counter kills. You can dodge-roll, though...
    - Too many collectibles. Most provide nothing except the satisfaction that comes from seeing a completely clean map.
    - Many meaningless side-missions, if they can even be called that. Go to the Assassin icon on the map, get the briefing, walk around a corner, stab someone, voila! Mission completed.
    - Meaningless street missions. Catch a thief, prevent a citizen from being killed, kill the criminals. It will all happen dozens of times.
    - Accumulate money fast. Makes the collectibles even more meaningless.
    - Paris looks flat and boring from the roof-tops. Few landmarks means you’ll be constantly referring to your map just to find your way around.

    Assassin’s Creed Unity does feel like a massively expanded Brotherhood. But there is no Volpe, no Machiavelli, no Leonardo, and we’re not fighting the Borgias. The vendetta in Unity is on a personal level, and what made previous assassins (and Ezio in particular) special is that they found a way to rise above the petty grievances to work for a cause greater than themselves. In contrast, Arno joins the assassins in a fit of anger and spends much of the game seeking his personal revenge, only caring about the Creed in the final voice-over. Unity’s beautiful game-world becomes the backdrop to a blah story, a massive amount of collectibles and horrible parkour – all of which scream of a missed opportunity.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Assassin's Creed Unity launched on PC in such a poor state that it has taken me till 2018 to actually be able to play and run it. Nonetheless, I didn't judge the game and this review won't really be about the PC port though it does factor into my opinions of it somewhat. Assassin's Creed Unity was built in a brand new engine, this is clear and it shows with the amount of bugs that as of 2018 still plague the game. Paris looks washed out and the graphics are muddy, though I suppose this fits the aesthetic of the time. I don't go to an assassin's creed game for graphics though, I go for the story and the history! And does Assassin's Creed Unity nail the French Revolution? Not really, no. Arno's story barely even mentions the revolution and I feel that his fragmented mess of a narrative could literally have been shoehorned into almost any Assassin's Creed game to date if a couple of names and details were switched. The narrative arc for a character which started out as a witty Ezio 2.0 was promising for the first two hours but slowly fell apart, leaving him feeling more like a Farcry character than a real protagonist and his supporting cast aren't much to go on either, other than Pierre Bellec who ***Spoiler*** ends up killing the Grand Master of the assassin's for speaking to Arno's love interest Elise who was a Templar. What a tragic end to the only remotely likeable character in the game and that's only because he called me pisspot. The story arc itself literally cannot make its mind up regarding the direction of the narrative it flicks between Bellec to the Templar Grandmaster at one point so jarringly that I thought I'd accidentally skipped a memory. The game also likes to shoehorn in famous people that we've all heard of like Napoleon despite the fact he didn't really bring much to the game and leaves out anybody solely important to the French Revolution like Maximillien Robespierre (other than a cheeky mention at the beginning as he is admitted into the party.)
    The new detective mode is pretty decent too, but I think Syndicate did it way better. So, why did I give it a 4 instead of a 0 if I thought it was a useless Assassin's Creed game? That would be because of the combat, it's heavy, meaty and satisfying as well as highly customiseable. I loved toting a heavy old great sword and sweeping the floor with patriots and I think the weapon and armour system was a step in the right direction- perfected now by Origins. Mechanically, it's almost beautiful as a game, but as a story narrative game this was sorely lacking.

    And as a person past from 1 Assassin's to Unity, I want to express my opinion:
    The first thing that is terrible in the game is the control: Arno constantly goes there where the mouse is not directed, but in the management, one can see progress in the gaming industry. For this I have an example: From 1 to brotherhood of blood, to climb roofs you need 3 buttons from Assassin's Creed 3 to

For this I have an example: From 1 to brotherhood of blood, to climb roofs you need 3 buttons from Assassin's Creed 3 to Unity two buttons, but with Unity, you need to press 4 buttons while reacting to the Down behavior of the character, so progress for 2014 is visible on the face. Then fight is something at all if more than 2 enemies attacked me, I just stay on one place and dying because me easier to die than kill 3 or God forbid 4 enemies when in 1 Assassin's Creed I could kill more than 7 enemies, but Ubisoft doesn't care but they did it with another enemy. And also feeling the Assassin's Creed even the pirate could use the enemy as a human shield, but not Arnaud, although he doesn’t even know how to make a double kill without training. I don’t complain about FPS with GTX 1050Ti at 40 fps on the roofs, it’s normal. The plot is a separate ROFL, but the only reason I don't put 1 it's a plot.

There are ridiculous bugs in the fighting system. It does not see where you need to cover. There is getting in and out of the ground while running, invisible, incredible lag in graphics. Even the clothes people change frequently. I'm just going to attack someone in the game, the guy teleports and leaves. I played as much as I could in the game and had to quit before I could reach half. In particular, I worked too hard on a mission and it was awfull. The game and the episode were not difficult at all, actually, extremely simple. However, no matter which way I tried, I couldn't always play because of bugs. If you have a question about how to not make a game, play this game directly. Write everything down from the first second to the end. Let me warn you, there can be as much as an encyclopedia. This game is not even worth grading. If anyone is still thinking about playing, stop thinking immediately. It's an incredibly bad game. Expand

    Сюжет - полный атас (и да, это про сюжеты в АС), ассассин, которого воспитывал тамплиер, мстит тамплиерам за то, что они убили тамплиера, вместе с другим тамплиером, который другой, не такой тамплиер. Куча сюжетных дыр, акценты смещены в какие-то абсолютно никому не нужные места, важные моменты повествования, например отрывок о том как ГГ пришел к тому, чтобы стать ассасином, просто выдернуты из игры. Серьезно, бомж в тюрьме сказал, что ты ассасин, ну все дальше знать необязательно, вырежем из игры два, блин месяца. Главный герой калька с Эцио, но Эцио курильщика, творит какую-то хрень, вроде как герой-ловелас, но при этом тряпка распоследняя, фу. Историческим личностям отведено неприлично мало времени. У нас тут ВФР и огромное количество разнообразных политиков и общественных деятелей? ХМММ, покажем Робеспьера всего на пять минут, три из которых ему рубят голову, с Наполеоном точно так же. Зато вот вам Маркиз де Сад, развлекайтесь.

    Геймплей ничем не примечателен. Вот серьезно. Абсолютно неудобный и скучный стелс а-ля "просто пройди мимо врагов они на тебя все равно не смотрят, а если и смотрят, то сразу отвернутся". Единственное, что можно сказать хорошего, так это наличие города и разного рода объектов и декораций в нем, прямо как во второй части.

    Графон вау. Вот серьезно, игра адски красивая, особенно интерьеры получились на славу, причем как халупы бомжей, так и дворцы с соборами. Но мы тут не в графоний собрались играть, а в игру.

    В общем, поиграйте лучше во что-нибудь другое, игра сырая и скучная, те же самые origins и odyssey вышли куда лучше, а если комп не тянет, то переиграйте в старые части. По сути юнити вышла худшей во всей серии, даже скучнее ревелейшенс (а тут постараться надо).

    Soldiers are horrendously placed over the map, it feels like the person who made the map didn't even try to play a round of Unity. Sword fights are extremely tiring so obviously players prefer the stealth approach, which is also broken as enemies can easy detect movements from kilometers away.

    The story is pretty much bellow average and that epic trailer is just about the co-op missions which "shockingly" is unavailable due to connection errors.

Instead they give every enemy a gun, which they use liberally. good luck ever runningSo i played this game in 2021. I heard terrible things about this game when it came out, but it was mostly about bugs. I can safely say that even without bugs this game is horrible. It seems that ubisoft forgot to code in for the ability for enemies to climb walls (even though they will spawn on rooves). Instead they give every enemy a gun, which they use liberally. good luck ever running away, you will get gunned down by everyone chasing you. If you are in a duel with 5 dudes? cool 3 will spam attacks on you and 2 will shoot you non stop.

    Which brings up a new issue in melee combat. They switched to a 'fencing' gameplay instead of the instant kill counters that we are used to. I thought I would be happy with this because combat in the previous games got a bit tedious with killing everyone with just 2 button presses. In a 1v1 duel it works great, even up to 3v1 is easily managed. the issue is when you have top fight more than that because, as listed before, enemies just start shooting you with no breaks. in the old system this was okay because we can quickly dispatch some enemies in-between shots. not only are your combat movement slower here, but for some enemies it will require 5 or more parry's and three hit combos before they go down. Combine this with no good way to dodge enemies ranged attacks and the AI no longer 'taking turns' when they attack you and the combat is absolutely terrible. now those of you who have played black flag may be thinking, 'can't i just use an enemy as a shield against the shots'? nope they got rid of that mechanic. Which is a common theme in this game, it has less mechanics and the gameplay is worse than any other assassin's creed title, and I have played all of the predecessors.

    Ok stealth is going to be the last thing for now, all attacks are loud. you want to walk up behind someone? they probably hear you and turn around. Want to assassinate someone while another guy looks away? Other guy hears you and turns around. if you want to TRY to make your attacks silence you need endgame gear, which can be bought with Real life money. and I think this is the core issue here. Mechanics that made the game easier were removed, new more frustration mechanics for enemies were put in and the best way to overcome them is to use end game gear and 'boosts' that you obtain with your credit card. as someone who even like assassin's creed 3, this game was truly awful.

    This game ruined the whole experience for me WITH BUGS even though I was playing on the latest version. Wish they had just finished and polished the game then released it. It had the potential to be a very great game.

    Well at least it's better than ACIII. [Issue#257, p.66]

    Newfound openness of Assassin’s Creed demonstrates just how inadequate its AI really is for a stealth game: pampered nobility usually simply ignores a bloodied body on the dance floor, and guards don’t care much either. At least they’ve learned how to fight: unless you “cheat” with smoke bombs, it’s highly unlikely you’ll survive a melee against a group. [Jan 2015, p.62]

    As I write this, Assassin’s Creed: Unity is a bugfest, but technical problems, however annoying, can and probably will be fixed. It is not cracks in textures that it is the most worrying thing about Unity, but the cracks in game design and writing.
