    People who are making excuses for Unity probably have never tried the PC version. Ubisoft didn't even make an effort to release any update that would fix the glitches, lag spikes, animation errors, unsynced voice dialogs, etc. Unity is like an injured soldier left forgotten in battlefield. This just proves that Ubisoft admits on giving up on the future of Unity.

    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

    Good game, as is that my first ac and missions seem very similar for me, but the story is interesting. Approximate two-thirds of the game playing in one breath, but toward to end monotonous game process has bothered.

    Este juego esta bien pero no, Es entretenido tiene muy buenos gráficos y esta ambientado en una de las épocas mas interesantes de la historia, pero tiene algo que no me gusta puede que sea la historia, el modo cooperativo o tal vez el protagonista Arno. Y también tiene bugs.

    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

    There are loads of things to do in this open-world RPG, but there is zero motivation to do any of them, I can't quite put into words how disappointed I am with this game, the world feels great but the only thing I want to do in it is to climb up to the top of Notre Dame and enjoy the view. The only good bit of the story is up to escaping the bastille, from there it's all downhill.

    With a new generation of console hardware, comes better graphics, bigger environment, and more of almost everything. This rings true for Unity. There are crowds on the street, NPCs feel much more organic than previous titles. The buildings are enormous, and filled with detail. You feel you are actually traversing the streets and buildings of Paris in the late 17th century. The infiltration missions were diverse, and offered unique routes and approaches. You can poison the wine, or you can cause distraction within a crowd, or simply just sneak above and drop assassinate them. Finally! the devs found a way to break the repetitiveness within missions experienced in the previous titles.

    The difficulty is also way higher, which I welcome. It was extremely easy to blast through 20 guards in the last titles due to the over powered tools you had. But in Unity, items are way more limited. And you can no longer assassinate people during a smoke or stun. Sleep darts are taken out, and you only get max 2 berserk darts. All this promotes stealth, over aggression, which is great.

    All that sounds great...BUT it's all ruined by one fundamental factor: the controls. The environment is detailed, yes, but this becomes a problem. When you free run, your character will often hop onto a random object on the ground instead of going around. While climbing a tower, you'll often find yourself jumping to the wrong ledge. There's simply too many things to go to. Unless your camera and joystick are aligned perfectly to the object you want to get to, you'll often not move or jump to the wrong thing. This is absolutely kills the pace of the game during chase sequences especially. Because of how volatile your character is, jumping to the wrong thing, or staying in the same spot, can mean massive health depletion. Or wasting medicine or smoke bombs. It is a very frustrating experience. There are also times where I've successfully stealthed through a large section, but only to be seen because an unintended jump was made.

    The narrative was not very engrossing either. The plot is extremely political. I'm not big on history, as I mainly care about the fued between Assassins and Templars, and their relation with the present and past. I found myself not caring for the allies that died, or the enemies I killed. I felt no bond with them, as they all lacked character development. There was also an absence of present day sequences, which were a staple to the AC series. No Abstergo building and modern Templars vs Assassins. Virtually no story development in the present. This was a huge let down, as those were one of my favorite parts in the past titles.

    Overall, Unity had potential, but the controls made it an extremely frustrating experience. And it barred me from enjoying the positive changes that were made to the game.    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

    Graphics 10/10, City 10/10, Main protagonist 0/10, Story 2/10. This game gamers also overhyped for a last time. It's not one of the best games in franchise. I love open world games in 4 points: 1. Graphics, 2. City (Open World) 3. Story 4. Main protagonist. But here only 2 points from 4. It's a only not bad game, not the best.

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

    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.
