    It's no longer as bad a game as it was when it came out, but still it's not a good game. I need to try this game again in the future. I still haven't played long enough hours.

Eserleri görünce saygı duruşuna geçmek istiyorsunuz. Oyunun açılışında da grafikleri ateş eden bi sekans var fakat devamında böyle bir sahne yok. Oyunun optimizasyonu kötü olduğu için kullandığımız itemları detaylı göremedim. Sadece grafikleri güzel. Hikayesi; oyun bize yeniden bir Ezio yapmaya kalkmış ama olmamış. Başlarda hikâyede hmm, tamam, olur, derken oyunun bi noktasından sonra artık aceleyle mi yapıldı bilemem anlatım bozuluyor, karakter zıtlıklar yaşıyor, ergenleşiyor, aptallaşıyor, klişeleşiyor. Bi yerden sonra hikayeye biri giriyor ama hiç temeli olmadan sonra hedef o, ardından aynısı falan derken çok rahat kopuluyor hikayeden. Elise ile olan aşk hikayesi klişe olmasına karşın çok güzel işlenebilirdi ama işlenemiyor, hiç ediliyor. Oyunun finaline doğru artık "bu kim ya niye öldürüyoz, bu kimmiş ya niye peşindeyiz" diyordum. Son savaş çok kötü. Finali bomboş hiçbir şey yok. Yan görevler de ise artık metin var ama olmasa da olurmuş. Copy-paste. Takip, koru, çal, sız, çöz, öldür. Metin var dediğim de bir cümle falan. "Bu benim götümü elledi git döv" gibi. Dead Kings dlcsine de başladım ama bi yerden sonra fena baydı dayanamadım bıraktım. Genel itibariyle o da potansiyel barındırmıyordu. Yani hikayesi ortalama altında kalmış. Oynanış; hahahhahah buraya yazacak çok kötü şeyim var. 1. Oyuna yeni tırmanma ve aşağı inme mekanikleri eklenmiş ama boş eskisinin aynısı 0 değişme. Halen karakter random hareketler, takılmalar yaşıyor. 2. Oyunda 4 farklı yakın dövüş silahı var ve aynı anda kullanılmıyor. Aralarında ustalaşılacak kadar bi fark yok sadece boş görsellik. 3. İtemlar seviye seviye ama en kötü itemdan efsanevi itema geçsen bile sanki hiçbir şey değişmemiş gibi oluyor. Boş kozmetik ve Ubisoft un oyun içi satımlarla para kazanma çabası. 4. Tabanca ve tüfek kullanımı çok yavaş insan kullanmak istemiyor. 5. Sözde oyunda suikast yaparken seçme özgürlüğü var ama sadece 1 tane. Ya düz öldür ya alengirli öldür. 6. Dlc ile gelen giyotin silahı kötü. Mühimmatı çok az, yavaş, ustalığı yok. Toplu öldürmede işe yarıyabilir, oyunda bunu bilerek bi görev tasarlamış ama 3 mermi olduğunu düşünmemiş. Bi yerden sonra 50vs1 yapınca bıraktım oynamayı. 7. Skill tree sistemi gelmiş oyuna normal bi assassin de olması gereken şeyler skille alınıyor. İşe yarar 2 3 şey var kalanı traş. 8. Kostümler çöp, etkisiz ve kötü tasarımlar. 9. Oyundaki toplanabilir eşyaların bir amacı yok ve zibilyon tane var etrafta. Cidden toplamanın bi amacı yok, neden varlar acaba. 10. Harita o kadar işaretle dolu ki gidilecek yeri bulmak zulum, seçmeye çalışmak işkence oluyor. 11. Oyun ssd de olmasına rağmen çok uzun yüklenme sekansları var. 12. saysam bin tane sıkıntısı var ama en kötüsü oyunu en düşük ayarlarda da en yüksek ayarlarda da 25-35fps arası oynuyoruz. Karakter heryere takılıyor. Oyun sanki bitmeden piyasaya çıkmış gibi. Nadiren zevk aldım. Yazsam daha bi ton sinir bozucu şey var. Sanırım AC3 bundan daha iyi oyun. Rogue'den iyi ama sağlam sinir istiyor oynamak için. Ha birde eşli görevler var ama onlar da buglı ve kimse oynamadığı için boş.… Expand

    First of all, I have to say that the final version of the game is technically much better than when it first came out, but there are some crappy things that the game does in a way that cannot be fixed. The main story missions are still bearable, but what are those side-contents! It's not about chasing weed or **** it's bull**** about why we should do it.

The main story missions are still bearable, but what are those side-contents! It's not about chasing weed or **** it's bull**** about why we should do it. Okay, you are connecting everything to the Animus device, we are in a simulation or something. Come on, we come across missions called 'rift' with this logic, platform-based and beautiful missions, but there are very few of them in the game and they are designed for the main storyline. The conclusion I drew from those missions, I realized that if Ubisoft made linear games rather than open world, they would do much better. Even if it is ridiculous, this game cannot be played without the whistle mechanic. The tools we have are so useless that instead of distracting the enemies, we pull them towards us and we are caught instantly. There is an inventory system, but what are those clothes, our original outfit and the outfit we bought at the end are cool, but the clothes we wear piecemeal are very bad. It's satisfying to just take it for its functions. The period and atmosphere it contains attracts my attention, it reflects this well in the game, but there is a crowd that has no meaning or effect in the gameplay part. The jumping mechanic is actually good, but the character moves so slowly that it can sometimes go astray. They've already fixed this issue significantly in subsequent games. I will say that if you are not interested in Assassin's Creed games, I definitely do not recommend it.… Expand

    Assassin's Creed: Unity is the eight installment of the longstanding stealth action adventure series. I have to admit that Assassin's Creed was never my really my favorite thing.

I have to admit that Assassin's Creed was never my really my favorite thing. I remember back when the first games came out, I tried to get into it a few times, but I never made it past the first half hour. The one that got me was the Black Flag, the setting was just too damn interesting for me to pass this game. I was not exactly thrilled, but I got into the story and now AC is part of my routine. In AC: Unity we leave the ocean and arrive in the city of Paris amidst the French Revolution. Now I hate revolutions and all the dread they inevitably bring and I hate the French. But I was determined to persevere. I did and I can even point some of the positives of this game: first and foremost, the setting. This time the developers really did put in a lot of work into creating a faithful replica of Paris. It is really beautiful and as historically accurate as the story allows it to be. It is really great and I spent hours just walking around the city and admiring the architecture and comparing it to its current state. Many landmarks have their own little entry in the game's database, so it can also be educational. The other thing I like are the murder mystery quests. These are a great addition to the series and I had a lot of fun playing them. The customizable weapons and armor are also a welcome improvement. But honestly, that is just about it. The rest of the game is just meh. I guess my main problem with the entire series is just how repetitive these games are. The main story follows the very well known format: He's a templar! Kill him! Oh, he's a templar also! Kill him! They have tried to spice it up a little bit, with at least few innovative ways of assassination, but frankly it is too little. There is a number of side quests with interesting lore, but all of them are also just kill, kill, kill. My other big problem, also with the entire series, is the damn console like controls. No matter how much time I spend playing these games, the controls still feel clunky and awkward, something that does not happen to me with other games. Classic AC feature: no manual save, just autosave. It is honestly not that bad, but I always prefer to save myself. Graphics is pretty good, kinda bleak colors. Game font is again pretty mundane. The stealth system can sometimes inexplicably fail and reveal your position, it happened to me enough times that it is worth mentioning. And one more little detail that can become pretty annoying. Several types of info windows with various text and in game information all overlay in one part of the screen, making you to wait to read what you want to read. And finally the infamous Ubisoft collectables. There are no less than 500 useless collectables and you will spend no less than 10 hours of your life to collect them all to gain nothing of worth. Microtransactions are present in many forms: buying special in-game currency with real life money, overpriced season pass that contained only one standard length story DLC and the myriad of weapon packs. SJW politics are present, but I would almost say that in lesser quantity than in the previous two games, which is somewhat surprising. But just to name a few: the drag queen, the army of women quest, female soldiers murder mystery.

    DLCs:

    Dead Kings - The first and only real story DLC for AC Unity. It takes you just outside of Paris to a little town called Franciade with a nice, darker, gloomier atmosphere. Nothing changes in the gameplay, the story is set after the main game. The only big addition is the large system of underground dungeons and caves connected underneath the town. There are a few side quest, but the main focus is on the main story of the DLC. The puzzles in this DLC are not difficult on their own, but because they are not set up or explained at all, they can be really confusing. The biggest problem of this DLC is the greedy attitude of Ubisoft, charging 40 USD for a season pass, which contain just this 5 hour DLC and a few worthless weapon packs. That is shameful. Verdict: 55 %

    I do not know what more to say. At no point did this game excited me, not really. Final Verdict: 52 %    … Expand

    A lot could be said about the protagonist of the game, and I think he's one of the main aspects that will determine if you like the story or not. Many blame him for being plain and boring, but I would argue that his lover is the one that drags him down. When his love interest isn't directly linked to the story arc, it's usually more interesting.

    There is a good amount of content in the game. When the main story started to take a turn for the worse, it was the side content that kept me enjoying the game, as the Paris Stories, the Murder Mysteries and Helix Rifts were all really fun.

    The parkour side of this adventure is where Unity shines. Running across rooftops and climbing historical monuments is the smoothest it's ever been in an Assassin's Creed title. However, you will be occasionally put to a full stop by a 10 cm ledge or get stuck on a chair in a house you're trying to run through.

    The gameplay is simple, with melee combat providing very satisfying finishers like in the other instalments of the series. Combat in small spaces, like corridors or rooms can be annoying as You will struggle with the camera and tank hits because of it.

    Overall, I think the game is a bag of mixed feelings. However, even if You take all the negatives I've mentioned, I think the game provides enough great content to be worth a play. Unless You're only interested in playing through the main story, and if so then You might finish pretty damn disappointed.    … Expand

    The city of france is beautiful despite the time period in which the game takes place in, and the landmarks, the costumes, the people, the weapons, and the different attires from everyone are recreated in superb detail, it is, even to this day, a gorgeous game to look at.

    The gameplay has changed here from past assassin’s creed games, for starters, you have less control over the combat, locking on is done here automatically but it’s a coin toss whether it would work or not, half of the times Arno will sheath his sword in the middle of a battle if you face some enemies behind you, on the other hand, the difficulty is all over the place, the game is trivial in the main missions in this regard, but in the secondary activities, it’s brutal, and sometimes, hilariously, it emphasizes how poorly balanced the combat can be when you get surrounded by a ridiculous amount of enemies. You can’t counter anymore, instead the finishers that you perform, that are among the best the series have ever seen here, are executed when killing an enemy, you can also do them at times if you happen to reduce the enemies health to a point where their health bar starts flashing, this allows you to perform a finishing blow of sorts by holding the attack button, although sometimes this one works and other times it doesn’t.

    There’s a ton of customization here when it comesw to your weapons and equipment, you can change your attire and clothes to a multitude of different items and this is a great addition, the only complication is that there isn’t any sort of “transmog” system, and the clothing items have specific stats, the only way here to actually enable any sort of transmog is by using “outfits” which are separate from the invidiual clothing items you can equip, and a lot of the times tehir reminiscent of other AC games; still though, the customization is a welcome addition and the attires are really good.

    The platforming or “parkour” system has also received an overhaul, giving you three options on how to play with it this time around, you can climb up, climb down, and free run, a lot of this isn’t explained well, for example, in the first mission of the game you’re vaulting objects by climbing down… This gets exacerbated later on and, ironically, this was the first AC where the parkour system truly gave me problems, at times Arno (the main protagonist) wouldn’t move from a ledge, other times it would just not get a hold of the nearby ledge he had right in front of him, it was a mess for a while…

    Overall the game is fine, it’s serviceable and beautiful to look at, it also runs a lot better and plays a lot better than it used to with most of the bugs and optimization issues squashed, but sadly, still, some remain, and the overall aspect of the game that remains here is one of clunkiness and a lot of unfulfilled ambition, perhaps for the technical limitations of the consoles at the time, or maybe for the lack of time the team had in working for the game, but either way, the game remains a bit of a clunky game at the end of the day.

    If you want to experience it be sure to get it on a sale.    … Expand

    Now the downside. Janky controls are the titles biggest limiting factor. Parkour, which is a big aspect of this game are clumsy and at times, downright frustrating due to poor controls and poor execution in game design. Simple thing like climbing in windows, can be an exercise in frustration. As are running/pursuit sequences where the character gets "stuck" on objects in his path.

But I never finished the game when I first played, I also went back several years later and tried again but due to other games, I stopped playing it again. Finally I decided to commit and finish it, I am very much happy I did.

    Story - It isn't really anything mind blowing here. You play as Arno who gets roped up in a murder and is a suspect for it, after landing in prison for a while, he gets involved with someone who introduces him to the Assassin Order and he himself becomes one. The rest of the game is essentially about solving the murder and linking everything together. Not the best AC story but passable. Arno himself is fine, but he lacks charisma once he is an Assassin, prior to this he is a bit of a jokester, something you'd see with Ezio, though his development as an Assassin is entirely different, he sheds all of that and basically becomes what feels to be a shell of someone who obviously has an interest in Elise (childhood friend) but is mostly obsessed with solving the murder that he was accused of committing, he is not a bad Assassin, just not a memorable one.

    Combat & Stealth - Being that this was the first real AC game that was developed primarily for the new generation of consoles (at that time), it had been re-worked with very high ambition, this will branch out to other things in the game besides just gameplay but combat feels very new, you are put into situations where going up against multiple enemies is a genuine challenge at times and you need to either risk the death and fight, or do the smart thing and run. There is a levelling system introduced here so as you upgrade your gear, the more powerful you get, after doing main missions, you will accumulate points to increase your skills which will help also. The combat was fun but I found the stealth to be very hit or miss, most of the time I got caught and whether due to a lack of ability on my part, or just the game not having what I need to get the stealth portions done correctly, that is up to debate, but I did feel I lacked heavily in this area.

    Movement - The climbing mostly felt the same but there is a new feature for descending downward and this was a welcome inclusion and made getting about a bit easier, however there are times where it seems obvious that Arno can make certain leaps upward or downward but it just doesn't happen, or requires several clicks of the same button to make happen. This again felt like a big leap in the right direction, just not executed very well.

    Customization - I loved the different options to upgrade Arno in this game, you are given so many choices to make him feel like your own creation and I really appreciated that. You can change his clothing in pieces which holds individual benefits, you have a wide variety of weapons to choose from from one handed to heavy to guns etc. This was the first AC game to utilize customization to this scale and I applaud them for the inclusion.

    Graphics and Performance - From the first time I played the game to now, there is some improvements but there are bugs present, you will see objects floating in the area, pop in, among other things. The look of the game is incredible though, on PC, this game could have come out this year and be accepted. Paris is gorgeous and so many times I just had to stop and look. Crowds are another thing, there are a lot of NPCs and sure they might not be doing a whole lot, or aren't very well programmed, but it makes the world feel bigger and despite the glitches I mentioned, it is incredible how many can be on the screen at once without a massive drop in performance. I didn't experience it a whole lot but there are some frame rate drops from time to time, but not enough to ruin the experience.

    Multiplayer - This was a big sell for Unity, a huge part of the marketing and I remember playing it when it first came out and it was downright unplayable, frequent bugs, lots of lag and doing certain things just wouldn't work. I have played some multiplayer missions more recently as a duo and a team of four, there is a delay noticeable like killing an enemy, they take a while to drop and you never know if they actually died, there are disconnections, bugs that prevent you from finishing. I recommend trying it out but don't expect much.

    Collectibles - There is a lot of them, I feel too much and should've been dialed back a bit.

    Final Rating - I think AC Unity was hit hard with poor reviews due to how it released, since then I feel some of this has been corrected and runs better, and I hope people give it another chance as it is a fun game, it has it's issues but deep down there is a fun game here.    … Expand

    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.
