    This game is absolutely ridiculous! Ubisoft, I am absolutely mind boggled. You have successfully created a game that is buggier than Africa. Your company did something that someone should never do, release two games in one year (you even beat cod). Absolutely ridiculous, I'd rather wait three years and get a good game then get two in one year that are half finished.

    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.    … Expand

    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.

    I see many people saying you need a "powerful rig" to run this game
    That is simply not true. The game will run the same on a med-high performance computer: that is to say it will run like **** because the game is not capable of running smoothly at all.

    I gave this game a good college try. After many sessions ending with me hitting alt+f4 out of rage, I simply had no choice but to warn people away from this gorgeous trainwreck of a game

    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.    … Expand

WTF is wrong with letting the players play how they want?

    This game is a complete technical disaster and just barely playable with acceptable framerates with an R9 290X or GTX 980 graphics card. Don't even think about buying this game until Ubisoft sorts out all of the bugs and technical shortcomings, which could take months. And Uplay sucks as always.

    The gameplay is more of exactly the same, just A LOT more boring this time.

    If you don't enjoy doing the exact same things you've been doing for the past 6 Assassin's Creed games, then this *new* entry into the series will definitely not impress.

    The game, when it actually performs in a playable state, looks lovely, it's no surprise the French developer put a remarkable amount of effort into the setting of Revolutionary Paris, and it pays off in an extremely detailed and beautiful environment.

    However, this is a shallow surface detail, and it starts to become apparent that the development team spent more time on visual upgrades and pseudocurrency integration than into actually developing a game that is fun and more importantly compelling to play. As Arno, the bilingual Frenchman with a distinct English accent, you will explore Paris for the usual trudging collectibles, hidden secrets and quests that accompany any Assassin's Creed game. There is a lot of content here. Well, you might say something different if you reclassify what content is, and perhaps make the term adhere to a more strict definition, as collecting the chests which require you to use the companion app to unlock them feels both dully reused and insultingly re-conceptualized, seems more as though the mandate of the team was "filler, filler and more filler" to split the main Assassination missions apart.

    This trend of Ubisoft games is starting to feel more and more tired and uninspired the more games that it is present in. The player is let loose in an open environment with a multitude of optional objectives spread out across the game world, which if it takes your fancy, you can indulge in at any point for however long you want. It is possible to complete the majority of all of these side activities within the first couple of hours of the game, barring the restrictions of story unlocked areas and equipment required to complete them.

    Whilst they are "optional" "side" activities, this method of injecting content has made up the bulk of most of the Assassin's Creed series, and now it has made it's way into Ubisoft's other IPs, with reimagining of the Far Cry series and Watch Dogs, all featuring the same system of climb/hack/climb&hack some kind of elevated structure which then in turn unlocks the area and reveals all the optional objectives and collectibles that were hidden.

    Obviously the formula is popular, as so far all the series that utilise this method have been all been a success in their own right, and even when other companies take the concept and use it in their own games it appears to be a factor for success, as shown with Monolith's Shadow of Mordor, which used the same tower revealing mechanic, and even had an eerily similar jump-off-the-tall-thing animation as Assassin's Creed patented Eagle Whistle Haybale Frontflip Dive.

    When it comes down to it, the gameplay of the game is nothing new. The combat system is practically identical, one of the very few differences being the way that enemies health is shown, which was absent in the previous to AC games but still their for the majority of Assassin's Creed titles.

    The animations of the game, when they aren't bugging out horrifically, should be praised however, for some really fantastic mocap work that does genuinely convey a sense of realism (if you can suspend the disbelief of a man doing piroutess along the front of a church and frequently breaking the laws of physics) in the sticky-handed protagonists movements, and those of NPC's.

    I didn't get to play Co-op, so I won't mention it, but it wasn't really something that interested me to begin with.

    Finally, the micro-transactions are pointless, and the introduction of "Creed Points" is as hilarious as it is sad.

    If you're looking for an interesting and exciting experience this isn't it, and the amount of performance issues makes it impossible to recommend.    … Expand

    Game play experience depends greatly on the optimization and whether there are a lot of bugs or glitches in game. Because it may potentially render the game unplayable if there are too many bugs or fps stutter a lot. Even the console version counterpart suffer from bugs and optimization issue right now, resulting in a low user score. With an unsatisfied user experience, how can a game deserve a high score?

    And this game has an extremely poor optimization (even beast game rig only barely keeps the fps at 30), which is a typical console port without sufficient graphic options. Bugs or glitches may even ruin the player progress, like falling down in a glitched wall.

    The story is acceptable, probably a bit better than AC 3 and 4. It has some minor improvement in stealth and combat mechanics but it still won't appeal to either experienced stealth gamers or action gamers.

    Fairly speaking, a game with such kind of efforts doesn't deserve its price tag charged right now.

    I guess some will keep on saying "buy now, and wait for the patches!" Well, do Watchdog and AC 4 Black Flag finally get patches to fix their problems at last? Anyone? LOL.    … Expand

    I'm not even going to talk about Graphics or FPS and that massive fail by Ubisoft. However, as a huge fan of the series... a guy that owned almost every collectable, this is the worst, easily, game I've ever played. It's a massive step backward.

    Nothing in this game is fluid. In a game where movement is key, you have to have fluid movement. 80% of the time your character will NEVER go where you want him to go when you're free-running and moving about. He'll catch things completely off center of camera and attempting to run one block ends up getting about four blocks of movement and 5 times as long to do because of all the extra catching and moving that the character does instead of just going forward. Don't even TRY to go into a window; jesus... it's nearly impossible and I find myself screaming at the character because he can't get in a damn window. Then, if I'm trying to find my way down a building, lord help us there, due to the horribily programmed system, you can't even release straight down until the game knows there's something there for you to grab. I constantly shout at the character like he's my 60 lbs dog greeting me at the door; "Get DOWN!". But, he just won't go down.

    The combat in this game is complete junk. THE worst combat system I've played with, and I tried it on all three system; PC, PS4 and XB1. The biggest frustration with the game comes with the combat camera. They zoom in so HARD on your character that you can't see the damn fight around you!! This makes it nearly impossible to have a fight against more than 2 people and the fight ends up turning into a fight with your CAMERA CONTROLS rather than a fight with baddies in-game.

    I haven't been able to get the Multiplayer to even work, for "Reasons". I can connected to the internet, I have a router (like the rest of the gaming world) but Ubisoft can't seem to get me to connect to their services unless it's 2am. So, a game heavily hyped with Coop is completely useless for me.

    I've gotten completely SUCK on a building and I could go up, or down, and had to fast travel to get un-stuck.

    Get this game if you want to be frustrated as hell, because that's all you're going to get. It's not fun. There's not a thing I can say about it that's nice; which is extremely sad, because I've been a major fan.

    Hey Ubisoft... maybe if you cared LESS about your stupid "Companion App" and releasing another game side-by-side with this one (Rogue) then you'd actually be able to pull out a decent game. People need to be fired, and you need to do something big to make up for this because as a Studio; you just slapped all of your fans in the face.    … 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.
