    doesn't deserve the rating it got. definitely one of the best parkour mechanics in the franchise, and the visuals. the main story is boring overall but missions make the game less boring.

    Assassin's Creed: Unity marks a return to the classic Assassin's Creed formula, bidding farewell to the island-hopping and naval combat of previous titles like Black Flag and Rogue. The game's visuals are nothing short of breathtaking, holding up even against modern AAA releases.

    The parkour mechanics in Unity are a double-edged blade. While they offer fluid and acrobatic movements, at    Assassin's Creed: Unity marks a return to the classic Assassin's Creed formula, bidding farewell to the island-hopping and naval combat of previous titles like Black Flag and Rogue. The game's visuals are nothing short of breathtaking, holding up even against modern AAA releases.

    The parkour mechanics in Unity are a double-edged blade. While they offer fluid and acrobatic movements, at times, they lean towards the theatrical side, making the protagonist, Arno, resemble more of a Spider-Man than a true stealthy assassin. Nevertheless, the parkour feels incredibly smooth and enjoyable, making it arguably the best in the series to date.

    Stealth gameplay is where Unity truly shines. The game offers an impressive array of assassination options and opportunities to take down enemies discreetly, making it the pinnacle of the franchise in terms of stealth mechanics. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for combat, which falls flat and disappoints players who prefer intense and satisfying brawling.

    The city of Paris is a marvel in itself, providing players with a massive playground for parkour and exploration. However, some may find the city's visuals somewhat monotonous, with an abundance of blue and gray tones. Personal preferences play a role here, but the overall design captures the essence of the time period.

    Arno's story is decent but lacks the depth and charm of some of the series' most memorable protagonists. Additionally, the present-day storyline is minimal and fails to leave a lasting impression. The missed opportunity to connect Unity's narrative to that of Rogue is a letdown for fans of the franchise's overarching lore. The game ends with a disappointing and unsatisfying ending that makes the whole adventure pointless and leaves players feeling cheated.

    Co-op missions are a notable addition, offering enjoyable multiplayer experiences. However, technical issues and the fact that everybody is the same character disrupts the immersion.

    Since its troubled launch, Unity has received numerous patches and updates, resulting in a more stable and polished experience. While some minor bugs remain, they are no longer a significant concern for players.

    Assassin's Creed: Unity offers a mix of excellence and shortcomings. It excels in providing a compelling assassin experience with its outstanding parkour and stealth mechanics, but falls short with lackluster combat, a weak present-day story, and an unsatisfying ending.

    With an extensive list of 57 achievements, players have plenty of challenges to conquer. Regrettably, these achievements are not integrated into the Steam platform, but they can be tracked and earned through Ubisoft Connect. Although not even there you will not be able to share your progress, since only you can see it.

    In conclusion, Assassin's Creed: Unity delivers a captivating journey through historical Paris, but its imperfections prevent it from achieving true greatness. Nevertheless, it remains a solid addition to the series, offering fans an engaging and immersive adventure in the heart of the French Revolution.    … Expand

The game had a good story, the eye-catching graphics, in addition to the beautiful design of the Paris environment, and of course the pleasant music were among the strengths of the game.

    Unity and Black Flag were Peak of Assassin's Creed, that's absolute fact. Those two games were both ahead of time and simply great!

    На момент осени 22 года игра не является тем, чем она была в 14-м году. Вышла она тогда сырой и недоделанной. Даже слишком, учитывая прошлый опыт Ubisoft.

    The movement and battle at first seemed to present a very big evolution in relation to the previous ones, but that would have been well polished. The commands are not very responsive and more than once depending on your action everyone is looking at each other without anything happening for 1s or more. Just missing a loading message.
    Despite new movements and being much more beautiful, the commands is not very fluid and I was frustrated many times.
    But the game has many good things, such as an incredible setting, beautiful settings, a huge variety of NPCs on the streets, lots and lots of explorable buildings, catacombs among others.

    The story is ok, although I miss a better work on the characters and the main quests themselves.
    Although the side quests are directly linked to real figures, they do not fit into almost anything in the main story. But worst of all is that the reward for doing everything besides the collectibles is... a skin. I didn't feel at all that it was worth my time.

    The DLC has the story ok too, but unlike the main campaign, the extras lead to a weapon with sensational skill.

    Finally, I found the variety of weapons and armor to be welcome, but I thought that the character is ugly as hell when he puts the armor within what he needs in each status. I ended up using a skin the entire game that came in the DLC.

    I thought it was a good game worth playing, especially on a promotion. But today I wouldn't waste my time with the extras in this game that aren't really worth it.

    One of the best video games ever made, even better than God of War 2018, Unity is more innovative and more fun. Best parkour ever and likable main character. Graphics were ahead of times at least 4 years. Good stuff.

    I loved playing this game. A beautifull looking Paris with a lot of things to do. Side missions are varied and nice addition, from simple kill or tail missions to riddles, small side stories and the interesting mistery murders. The main story is engaging, tapps in interesting themes and ideas, nice action ,well used historical figures and the finale may be a bit underwhelming but still good and conclusive.
    The parkour is a doble edged sword, either you like it's flashy style, or you hate it's strange move.Requires some training(and a youtube guide)for good timing to move in effective ways ,but it's rewarding.It still can suffer from minor glitches and wrong directioning,Compared to previous AC games, definitly a bit unrealistic, but it's up to each person to decide.I enjoyed it, it makes me feel very assasin roaming the building of Paris in that style.
    The combat is rough, but decent. You get better armor and swords with money and you can upgrade them with creed points(points you recieve by doing cool assasin things like air assasinations, finishers, stealth kills).You atack enemies and instead of counter atack you parry dodge or superatack your enemies(parry is a kinda of counter atack but you need to press atack button 2-3 times :) ) Stealth tho is very satisfying. Eagle vision is very usefull (unlike in other AC's) and the stealth playstyle is encouraged(because the combat can be both ineefective and a bit glitchy a times). Even in mist of combat you can use smoke or other grenades,makes for an easy enemy squad wipe.
    This game has a pretty rudimentary character progression, but it does it's job. As I said previously, you can buy new armor pieces and weapos and upgrade them to be even better, certain missions give you new items and sync points with which you can unlock skills and abilities. There's no grind fest required to become powerfull to continue with missions, it's natural progression if you intertwine main story missions with other activities.
    And as a final note, this game is not the buggy mess which once was. I encountered 2 bugs the first 2 missions, but except that, I encountered small glitches like flying bodies or messy teleportations during parkour( it happenes very rarely, barely it affected my gameplay experience).
    In conclusion, good game, one of my favorite AC's definitly, and if it got maybe some few more months of develpoment it would had been from the start a great experience.    … Expand

    Uma dos melhores Assassin's no quesito gameplay.
    Parkour, combate e mundo aberto da França, são bem caprichados.
    História, personagens e atividades secundárias são bem fracas, no geral.
    Destaque para o modo cooperativo, que combinou muito com o jogo e uns dos principais brilhos do Unity com toda certeza.

    One of my favorite games of all time. I have finished it at least 8 times and i'm free roaming and just parkouring in this game pretty much every year at least once. This game really makes you feel like you are going back in time to 1790s.

    A good game that was unfairly slammed on release, due to the terrible management of Ubisoft. The game itself is a breakthrough for 2014, in terms of graphics, animation and mechanics. It also has a very interesting plot and the main character. For me, this game is one of the best in the Assassin's Creed series.

    With modern video cards it actually runs pretty well, i enjoy this game a lot. Just parkouring around, almost like in Spider-Man (2018) is so enjoyable and graphics are really good. Story is nothing special, but has many fun missions. Not perfect, but In some aspects one of the best AC games. If you like 1790 time period or history of Paris, you gonna love this game.

    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.
