    GTA IV 2.0 or the Windows Vista of games. Seriously, a R9 290X or GTX 780 is required to run the game at modest settings? And even if you have one of those cards, it will run slow as hell. I have a Radeon R9 280, and it can run games like Battlefield 4 and Crysis 3 on high settings! DON'T BUY THIS GAME!!!

    Average fps = 24
    Min fps = 6

    Sub 30fps on an i7 running a huge overclock and 2 780's in SLI - This is why Ubi$oft games are pirated more than any other games from any other companies! Because Ubi$oft keeps on releasing AAA games in such a poor unplayable state that consumers think, why the hell should I pay $£€60 for a broken, unfinished piece of rubbish, but yet, they take no notice and keep releasing broken games.
    DayZ Standalone is in early access alpha... *ALPHA* and it has fewer bugs, glitches and crashing issues with better FPS than ACU.

    Assassin's Creed Unity sealed it for me - I will never buy another Ubi$oft game, not until they stop this BS and start releasing games in a playable finished state, only then will I even consider giving them my money.
    (The sad and worrying thing is though, hundreds of thousands of people still pre-order their games every year even when they keep getting burned every time. People need to wake up and start voting with their money, that the only way a company like this will listen and change.)

    Typical console port, 35-38 average FPS ( I have a 680 2GB OC and i5) no matter which settings I put on. Max graphical settings will result in about the same FPS as low settings.

    Typical console port, 35-38 average FPS ( I have a 680 2GB OC and i5) no matter which settings I put on. Max graphical settings will result in about the same FPS as low settings.

    The audio is driving me insane. There is no surround sound it seems like. I feel like I'm playing Bully:Scholarship edition where everybody sounds like a horse when they walk and you can't track down where sound comes from (most of the time). I have a 7.1 surround headset with a dedicated sound card and it still sounds like crap.

    The online co-op has been down so far

    I can't comment on the story so far as I only have done 3 sequences (about an hour and a half's worth of gameplay), but it's nothing special SO FAR. The audio is just ruining the experience for me as well as the 30 fps and inconsistent spikes.

    I'm sure the story will get better but the game requires a patch ASAP for the sound issue and better optimization. There's no reason I should be getting the same FPS when I use max settings or low... I would gladly play on lower settings but this game doesn't seem to have actually been tested prior to release. Even the console peasants are experiencing similar issues

    Unplayable with GTX 770. I don't care about fps but Unity stutters, lags and freezes every 3 seconds. Fps goes 0-18fps and 22-25fps. Low settings wont help because it still stutters and lags, and looks like PS1 game.

    I bought Unity to my Xbox One and now I can atleast play it.

    Worse PC port of mankind.

Given that, the game play was not significantly improved upon over the previous incarnations of this series. With all of Ubisoft's talking about the engine and changes to the game play I found it to be less than spectacular, or even really all that fun since I had "been there, seen that" in previous games. Add the hefty performance issues that rally draw into question the level of effort put in to even trying to make the game playable, and this one is a complete non-starter.

    If you absolutely *must* play another Assassin's Creed game, I strongly suggest waiting a few weeks/months to get all the problems dealt with *or* simply wait for the next iteration of the franchise.

    What's interesting - on high settings was almost the same!
    It looks like it doesn't react much to settings you run.
    Unity is just not ready. Initiates website recognizes only my AC IV Black Flag. Companion app crashes and I'm losing progress - waist of time. Because some chests and unlocks can't be done without online features - you're screwed.

    WORST GAME EVER. There are a lot of bug i must play on low details to get 30 fps and every 20 minutes chrases. The Updates are big but there isn't a radical change to improve its big mistake. Don't BUY this game. IF YOU WANT TO BUY THIS GAME I'LL COME TO BEAT YOU!

    Very poor optimization.
    With my GTX 760 at different settings gives no more than 40 fps. Very unpleasant friezes.
    Let's hope that in the near future Ubisoft fix the problem and my opinion has changed.

    The grandest Pile of S ever released. Makes you wonder why these "critics" like IGN are giving it a 78 score... Monetary reasons perhaps? No one in their right mind would give such a rating...

    Registered an account just to write this review. The game runs horribly and I'm running GTX 780 TI SLI. Wish I had heeded the warnings below. Whatever you do don't buy this game... I'm actually a fan of the series but the game is unplayable in its current state.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wow, I am not impressed.<

    First off, I run this rig:

    AMD FX-8350 OCed to 4.4GHz
    12Gb DDR3-1600 OCed to 1877Mhz
    GTC 680 4GB edition, OCed
    Corsair Force GT SSD
    Windows 7 64bit

    I got this game on Nov. 11th 2014. Did not have time to install until today.
    First of all WTH! 5 dual-layer DVDs! That must be an awesome looking game!

    Not so much.

    After 4 hours of installation (you read right, I should have downloaded rather than install from the disks), I got to install UPlay (update actually) then I get a 800Mb patch! Well I heard of all the glitches and bugs, so this might be a good thing.

    I finally launch the game and get the intro/cutscene in 720p. Fine, I will boost everything later.

    First mission is a pain in the A, constant lag, frame rate drop as soon as there is combat.
    The "hacking" cutscene was not that bad, looks like the game found the "HD" button and raised to 1080p. Even though it's made to look "low res".

    When I am done with the tutorials, and finally can go open-world, I find a chest! Yay!

    Except it PROMPS TO DOWNLOAD THE APP ON MY PHONE to unlock it!!!

    Ok fine, I will get the app.
    Google Play store keeps "warning"/highlighting that there are micro-transactions in this app.

    That app is 450Mb by the way, don't get this over 3G/LTE, you will kill someone...

    When you find out that it runs as **** as the game! And you need to pay REAL CASH to buy in-app points to do missions that unlocks the in-game chests (apparently, I never managed to actually run the app, it kept crashing). Good wasted 450Mb and at least a chest that I won't open in a 70$ game...

    First "sneaking" mission basically destroyed all hopes for a better game.
    There is a "dense crowd", consisting of about 30 people. They have exactly 4 different skins. Later there is a "royal meeting" with hundreds of NPC, again, 4 skins for all of them, plus the 10 or so that glitch through the walls or hang in mid-air because they are too close to a pillar.

    I stopped after 20 tries at the prison escape mission, because every combat that involved more than 2 enemies was so laggy that I could not land a "perfect parry".

    All in all, other than the faces that look awesome in the cut scenes, this game got nothing new, nothing good looking, nothing working as intended and most important: UBI wants you to pay extra to access the content already on the install disks!

    I live in Montreal, know a few people working at Ubisoft.
    But I can't let this one fly, this is a **** game. Even EA makes better stuff. They try to grab as much money as possible but at least the stuff you pay for works.

    I honestly don't know why I bother buying PC games let alone Ubisoft games. If you have a Core i5 machine take my advice and don't bother buying this game. I have no clue how a company like Ubisoft can screw up two AAA releases in a row, I honestly would like a refund but it's not very easy to get one on Steam (though there is a mechanism to do so in Australia).

    I'd review the game

    I'd review the game completely, but I literally cannot even get past some parts due to it crashing. A "game" you cannot complete is no game at all, whatever opinion I have of the excellent graphics in this game is thus void. Ubisoft needs to clean out its house. Zero score for this. This is a travesty and should no longer be acceptable to PC gamers.

Vamos que tengo una Hd 7870 2 Gb VRam, i5 3570, 8 Gb de Ram y el juego anda horrible en mínimo. ¿Cómo un juego puede tener de requisitos mínimos una Gtx 680 o una Hd 7970?

    Made an account specifically to review this horrid excuse for a game, I have never done a review before.
    Before I rip into it, I must say that if it were not for all the game-breaking issues, this would actually be a fun game to play, but given the state it is in after almost 4 weeks post-release, another bad review is in order.
    The graphics are lackluster at best, even with everything

    The graphics are lackluster at best, even with everything at ultra and max post processing. Compare it even to console gta5 and you'll be disappointed. Low resolution texture abound, though there are some decent ones. The performance is horrible, on a core i-7 @ 3.1ghz with crossfired 6970s, a setup that runs crysis 3 and metro 2034 at 1080 resolution with max settings and decent (30+) fps, this engine cannot even manage that consistently at medium settings, were talking in the 20-40 range usually. Strangely, it is not the crowded areas, but just simply random places, that cause the most severe drops. The game crashes constantly on its own, without cause, and if you wish to tab out to view something on your browser, god help you if it still runs after that. The controls are horrible and generally respond badly to player commands, you'll see your character walking towards something while your hands are off the keyboard occasionally, and this is not during cutscenes. You will be forced to climb walls you did not aim at nor can have any use in climbing.
    There is micro-transaction and companion app garbage that is required to significantly upgrade your equipment, if you try looting your way to an upgrade I fear it takes an eternity.
    The story is dull but honestly that is the least atrocious sin ubisoft committed in ACU's production.
    I purchased this game 3 weeks after its nov. 11th release, assuming the bugs would be patched out by this point, but sadly, its still plays like a beta FRESH out of alpha testing. Gamers need to heed this warning and stop buying/funding ubisoft and their ilk, for if you keep buying garbage, they will keep selling you garbage. Demand more, demand what game developers gave us in their pioneering days when they were struggling to eke out a profit, and perfection was the ideal, not record pre-orders.

But what a disaster it is. I do not know where to start. This game does not do well. The story is simple, controls is nothing different than the others and ridiculous gameplay. Optimization of the game is still bad. I don't mind how to blend a game in medium with rtx2070. Are they so helpless they could not fix it for so many years. 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

    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.

    So 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 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.

    Cons : Crowded yet hollow Paris. Repetitive and boring side activities (barring one) . Unconnected and blank story. Unresponsive controls. Unsatisfactory combat. Plain characters (barring one)
    Pros : Elize as a character is fairly fascinating. Smooth parkour system. Engaging murder mysteries side activities.

    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.
