    Игра красивая, передаёт атмосферу тех лет. Боевая система в меру сложная, стелс неплохой, сюжетные миссии тоже выполнены отлично, есть несколько вариантов по устранению цели.

    These games are nothing you should take for granted, ever. There's so many people from past who would have given anything to play these kinds of locations in video game, but they never could, because these types of games didn't exist before year 2007 and that was just the beginning. They would have loved to climb realistic Notre Dame in 1790s Paris (AC Unity) or Pyramids in Egypt (AC Origins). Modern people finally can do that and that's big deal, very big deal. But these absolutely stupid haters will never understand that and that's sad and pathetic at the same time.

    As far as the game is concerned, it introduced the concept of planning assassinations by providing various methods of ingress, egress and kill. That was definitely an improvement. I like that many of the buildings are more than just decoration and can be explored/used at will. It makes the world far more interactive.

    What is disappointing is the extreme busy-ness of the map. It is the most populated by far with hats, badges, trophies, collectibles, chests, blah blah blah, of the entire series. A bit of a let-down, I feel. I did not partake in any multi-player at all. Co-op missions (those I actually played) I did solo. You game nerds take things too seriously for my taste.

    Still, it was well worth the money I paid for it.    … Expand

    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

    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.

    Assassin's Creed is my favorite game franchise, so this may be a bit biased review.

    I like Unity. Yes, it has many bugs. Yes, the engine is trash. But I still like the game. The story is decent. They tried to make another Ezio, but it didn't really match up. Arno is a good character, his story is fun. It's motivated by revenge, but not as impactful as it should be. The thing that    Assassin's Creed is my favorite game franchise, so this may be a bit biased review.

    I like Unity. Yes, it has many bugs. Yes, the engine is trash. But I still like the game.

    The story is decent. They tried to make another Ezio, but it didn't really match up. Arno is a good character, his story is fun. It's motivated by revenge, but not as impactful as it should be. The thing that it's missing in my opinion is the connection. The characters don't feel so close to each other.

    The gameplay is mixed feelings. It is VERY glitchy in all aspects. The parkour almost always has some bugs, thou when it works, it looks and feels great. Best looking free running in the franchise. I'm having too much fun just running around Paris. Combat is just a downgrade IMO. Besides the fact that it's bugged out as hell, the combat is boring. The good part is that you can have 5 weapon types and it gives you a bit of diversity. But unlike older games, you cannot pick up weapons from enemies which I loved doing.

    Graphics are insane. Considering this is a 2014 game, this looks amazing. If you told me that this game came out in 2021, I would believe you. Sometimes it doesn't look that good, but most of the time it's great. Really love how Paris looks.

    Content is good, as with every AC game. Some find it boring and that's fine. I like to collect all of the chests and other collectibles. Side quests are good too, some more interesting than others but overall good.

    Co-op is fun. The servers are down more than they are working, but when it works, co-op is very fun. I wish they went ahead with this and expanded on it. The missions are narrated and don't feel like just "boring extra content"

    The soundtrack is fine. Not the best, but it's good enough.

    Like I mentioned, I like all AC games. This game was trashed for being bugged out, and that's true. But if you can look past the glitches its a good game.    … Expand

    Misunderstood and extremely underrated MASTERPIECE. I would do anything to go back in time and tell the developers to delay it until February 2015 to avoid this awful launch. Either way, now it's 99% fixed and amazing.

    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

Here it is...

    The GOOD:
    A beautiful game with gorgeous graphics and skins. The world is simply surreal at times with visuals that blew me away. France 1790s has never looked better leading up to a world changing revolution. The Story is fun to follow, kept me jumping back session and session to see where Arno will end up at the end of all this. Patches must have fixed many of the screen tearing issues and face pop ins/outs.

    The BAD:
    Horrific gaming engine. The amount of times I wanted to pull my hair out because of a malfunction with either jumping or unpredictable behavior surpasses any other game. CRITICAL moments ruined by a glitch in jumping, moving or the null of either. This for me broke the game to the point of no return at sequence 10. Over and over I died after far progression is assassinations and side objectives for support. This would be fine if we had a tolerable checkpoint system... BUT WE DO NOT. You must start all over in redundant fashion each time you are killed or glitched into oblivion. AI is also laughably idiotic.

    Overall:
    I had a blast with this game the first half. Each story mission felt fleshed out and massive. Options seemed fair and the pace kept up the fun factor. I enjoyed this more than any other assassins creed game to be honest. Still haven't tried syndicate though. That's next. Do I recommend? Yes. Will i ever play this again? No. It has been good Unity, you have been enjoyable for the hours you gave me without the logical idiocy.    … Expand

    No pirates, no Indian tribe story, no Grand Theft Horse Carriages - just grounded urban assassinations and infiltrations. In addition to that we have the best parcour system of the series with great fluidity and animations, a challenging combat system with a huge variety of weapons and great character customization through equipment.
    Now, they did go too far at some points, for example the skill tree, who is just absolutely unnecessarily restricting your gameplay options, but that's okay. The biggest problem however remains the lack of polish. The game did so much new stuff and improved upon so much on such a large scale, as a result controls can become inaccurate and clumsy (best seen when trying to enter through a window or trapdoor) and bugs still frequently occur.
    Gladly these are no longer game-breaking as they were on release, who as it seems still unjustifiably taint the user score of this brilliant game here on Metacritic. Performance and framerate are also good, considering the beautiful graphics and scale of ingame Paris.

    Sadly, many of the improvements made by Unity were reverted for the succeeding entries instead of polishing their rough edges. Because in Unity we have: Co-op missions, great character customization, freely approachable assassination missions, a challenging and interesting combat system, the best parcour system, detective missions and much, much more including minor improvements like not having missions fail instantaneously but instead offering new objectives to make up for failed attempts and more.

This should be clear to most gamers and therefore I think it's uncalled for to complain about these things and give the game a 0 solely because it has many bugs... especially when it comes to a game with such an incredibly big and detailed world. I almost put off buying it because of all the negative reviews and the general hate towards ubisoft. I'm glad I bought it to see what it really is for myself.

    In my opinion, it's nothing short of a masterpiece. The world and the graphics are truly breathtaking. I can happily say it's the prettiest game I've played so far. The story and the characters are also well thought-out in comparison to AC: Black Flag, which for me had nothing to do with the AC series and I believe it to be the worst game in the franchise. The kiddies loved it though, so maybe I'm just getting old and enjoy in-depth games.
    To the people who complain about it being too hard - have you even played the first AC game? If you think the Unity combat system is complicated and hard to master, please be my guest and grab Altair's AC. I for one, gladly welcomed the changes because I'm sick of the brainless one-button mashing which I saw in AC 3 snd AC IV...
    The parkour elements have also been changed for the better, making it essier to navigate Arno.

    Customization has been brought to a whole new level. One can spend quite some time 'pimping' the looks of his/her hero to their liking.

    Paris is simply put massive. It's a virtual world bustling with life, having thousands of NPCs going about their daily life. It took me one hour to get to my mission which was 300 meters away because I got caught up in the side activities... which are hundreds and I find happen to be very fun!

    Coop is truly epic playing with friends. All the missions have replay value because there are many different ways to approach them. Infiltrating buildings can also be done in a variety of ways and nevef gets boring.

    All in all, an amazing game. It's unfair that people are bashing it because it's 'poorly optimized'. I simply cannot agree with us. Yes, the game does need a high-end gaming rig but all this info was posted multiple times not only online but on the back of the game case. I can't understand how people think they can run next-gen titles on their 5 year old computer when nowadays even having a computer from 2011 is considered outdated. If you don't meet the system requirements then don't get these games or invest in a console. I can play AC:Unity with no major fps drops at Ultra High Settings, HBAO+, soft shadows and MSAA-2 anti aliasing on my R9 280X.

    If you have the rig for it and like the original AC games (I don't consider AC IV a part of the franchise but more of a disney Pirates of the Carribean game) go for it and give this game a shot. I for one wasn't disappointed but very pleasantly surprised even with all the horrible reviews.    … Expand

    However, when I started playing this, Oct 2015, none of these problems occured. Indeed, the game ran fine for me on my system (i7 4790, GTX 960 with 4 gigs, 16 gigs of Ram, Windows 7). No big framerate issues, no loading probs, no disfigured NPCs with non-loading facial textures etc.

    What blows me away in this game is the atmosphere. They really DID an amazing job with Paris. Not only the actual vibe (dark,a little bit medieval with all the churches and stuff), but also when it comes to the maps (my gf loves Paris and knows the town well. We went on a sightseeing tour in game, and we found places like a hostel she used to stay at, a hotel she once stayed in etc.).
    Paris is stunningly beautiful here, and there are SO VERY many people out there. You do feel that vibe of a town in trouble, with the revolution going on, and it's amazing to walk through huge crowds of people, even using them in your missions (killing from a crowd).

    It's really special to climb Notre Dame, explore the inside etc.

    Arno is not exactly a deep character, but much more likeable, to me, than Kenway, for example (both of them). He is out for revenge, he is a bit hotheaded, but he also is passionate and serious.
    The story about his love for Elize and the hunt for this games MacGuffin isn't exactly deep, but it's ok.

    There is a metric TON of side content... its overwhelming actually. Its a tendency we have seen in many recent Ubisoft games, and I didn't do all of it... it can get overwhelming and boring. However, if you wanna go for 100%, you'll get a ton of hours out of this.
    The multiplayer is fun too... it's not too challenging, and it's fun to wreak havoc and take out targets with 1-3 other assassins, I enjoyed this a lot.

    Lots of different weapons, outfits, talents, etc, too.

    Some problems:
    - If you accidentially start the DLC (the Dead Kings one), because you wanna fast travel to your mansion but choose the wrong icon on the overcrowded map, you cant leave until you do the first mission. Which will be quite challenging if you are too low regarding level and gear. It happened to me and I died a lot and had to use a YT-walkthrough to unlock the travelpoint that allowed me to return to Paris.

    - Some npcs sometimes get stuck

    - Enemy NPCs come in 4-5 different looks. However, I didn't notice that as much as I did in the horribly Snydicate, because the town looks so much more atmospheric, beautiful and captivating in Unity.

    - Side content is often copy and paste. Yes, murder mysteries etc are fun, and some of the side missions are nice to earn money, but they are not challenging or very interesting. The story side content (Napoleon etc) are quite ok though

    Pros:_
    - The town looks absolutely gorgeous
    - Very atmospheric, streets full of NPCs
    - Fun abilities
    - Big improvement on parcour, so much easier to climb up or down
    - Less tailing and eavesdropping than in BF... thank god
    - Lots of stuff to do
    - Fun to read historic info in the database
    - Nice tutorials
    - MP is fun
    - COmbat feels nice

    Cons:
    - Very demanding on yoru system. Worked fine on mine
    - TOO MUCH side content, and often repetitive
    - NPCs only come in small variieties and sometimes get stuck
    - Story and main character not exactly deep. YMMV

    Bottom line:
    Yeah, the launch sucked. However, it does work now, at least it did perfectly fine on my system. So incredibly beautiful and atmospheric, and much more immersive than Syndicate, which to me is prolly the worst AC. 8/10    … Expand

    Disappointing launch, but very good game. Would recommend to anyone who wants to Parkour around 1790s Paris. Way better than older games like Revelations or AC 3. Unity has almost none of this annoying modern day story that was completely pointless. Only reason people play these games is going back in time, not some modern day bs.

    AC Unity had problematic launch, but that was about million years ago. They mostly fixed it and while some issues still remain, that's fine, because every game has some problems and all the good Unity has to offer, simply makes me not care about these minor issues.

    Paris looks absolutely phenomenal, one of the best (if not best) graphics of 2014. Buildings design, both inside and    AC Unity had problematic launch, but that was about million years ago.

    Paris looks absolutely phenomenal, one of the best (if not best) graphics of 2014. Buildings design, both inside and outside is top-tier game making, even more by 2014 standards. AC Unity has best parkour of any video game ever made and that should say something. Story is not the best (but it's not bad either). There's lots of fun and well designed missions and while the game could be longer, there's also free DLC.

    I personally like Arno as a main character. Not every character needs to be "over the top". I like that he is more serious and he actually has reasons to be like that. In conclusion i would say, AC Unity is easily one of my favorite AC games of all time.    … Expand

    I know! I know! A 10/10 review! I obviously must be either dumb, living in the stone age or paid by Ubisoft! But trust me, I'm not!

    I will say that at first, hearing the unbelievable outpouring of hatred towards this game made me very wary of purchasing it. However a whole YEAR has almost passed since this game came out and I can say that many, (if not all) of the review-crushing bugs    I know! I know! A 10/10 review! I obviously must be either dumb, living in the stone age or paid by Ubisoft! But trust me, I'm not!

    I will say that at first, hearing the unbelievable outpouring of hatred towards this game made me very wary of purchasing it. However a whole YEAR has almost passed since this game came out and I can say that many, (if not all) of the review-crushing bugs HAVE BEEN FIXED. I have been playing this game for over 20 hours and have not encountered freezing, framerate or other game-crashing bugs throughout my play experience. Although it does require a powerful computer to run on the Ultra High settings, (My ATI Raedon 5970 can only run it on low) they game still looks AMAZING even on the lower graphics settings.

    The story is what you'd expect for an Assassin's Creed game, but the wealth of side missions, the improved Co-Op experience (That randomizes enemies and objectives each time) and the 1:1 representation of Paris more than make up for any shortcomings in content or story length. In fact, I'm surprised more people didn't react positively to the return of consumables instead of the CoD-esque regenerating health of AC III, as well as the focus of the development team for setting the game in a single city instead of several less thought-out ones.

    I'm not excusing Ubisoft for releasing a buggy product at launch, that is unacceptable. I am however, merely stating that behind the bugs that plagued the game's launch lied a very well-crafted, ambitious, cinematic and memorable Assassin's Creed experience. I actually FELT like I was in Revolutionary France, the random crowd events feel truly organic, and the cinematic missions and character customization easily ratched-up the replayability of the game. In fact, the character customization easily became one of my favorite aspects of the game, and had me actually wanting to complete side missions in order to unlock unique rewards for my character. I actually felt like I was getting stronger as the game progressed, and not overpowered like in previous Creed titles, most likely due to the harder combat and AI. What's even cooler is the return of "renovating" buildings as in AC II and Brotherhood, producing income that would occasionally remind me I had to pick up (Which I always forgot to). "Renovating" my first social club had me remembering my old playtime in Brotherhood, helping the citizens of Roma, this time in Paris. The little cinematic touches also add a certain flair to this games story, considering how in certain missions you're transported to Paris in the 1880's with floating hot air balloons, underground subway systems and the Eiffel Tower filling in the games background. (Perhaps this was a tease at Syndicate?)

    Ultimently, this game has been reviewed more on its day one issues rather than on the game itself, and while many say that the developers didn't care about releasing a buggy product, perhaps the knowledge that they stretched the release of the game back two weeks can show how they wanted to release a FIXED product upon launch, and they actually had the audacity to disappoint their superiors in order to fix many other bugs I'm sure we were spared the expense of encountering.

    The nostalgia, the hidden references to previous Creed titles as well as the respect this game shows to previous systems (Such as health potions and consumables, as well as your own customizable house) helps to show the care the developers took into creating this highly original and refreshing game in the Assassin's Creed universe. This game has everything and more than I expected from it, and I can affirmatively say that I'm pleasantly surprised at its complexity, a good feeling that is lacking in so many AAA games nowadays. For in 5 to 10 years from now, no one is going to care about how buggy the game was at launch, but how fun the game is to play in the future. Besides! By then, everyone will be complaining about Black Ops 16 or Evolve 12. With the Dead King's DLC thrown in for free on top of the game's basic bundle, as well as the games charismatic (And much improved) protagonist from AC III's Connor Kenway, this game is easily one of the best Assassin's Creed games of all times and a must buy for all fans of the Assassin's Creed universe.    … Expand

    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.

Stealth kills are awesome and combat is a little cooler. If you get bored with assassins creed and sandbox games then the game is not for you. Everything online already tells you the game runs horrid on all the consoles, not just the pc. So to bash it just on pc would be extremely dumb. So yes the optimizations is terrible. The game runs about 24-25 fps on Xbox one and PS4. That is why I decided to buy the game on PC. I get around 30-35 FPS with GTX 760 4gb and 4770k on ultra settings. In some cut scenes the FPS dips down to 15-20. The newer drivers help boost about 4-5 fps. Patches after the game that increase performance are going to help alot. I have only noticed one bug so far, other than that the story is good, but not great. I mostly bought this game to see where the assassins creed franchise is going and to wait for Dragon Age and The Witcher 3. This was a better alternative than cod.… Expand

    What's with this extremely low user score. It must be lowest user score for any major actually good video game and possibly lowest user score for any AAA game of 2014. That makes no sense, because i just finished Unity and it's not nearly as bad as this score tries to indicate. Maybe not 9 or 10, but 8 at least.

    Ubisoft has really outdone themselves at alienating fans this time. My current setup is able to run Crysis 3 flawlessly, Far Cry 3 perfectly, and even Watch Dogs without errors (somehow), as well as every other game it has ever come across, yet in a strange occurrence, AC:U is the only game to challenge it. Even on medium settings I was met with around 20-something Frames Per Second, appalling loading times and glitches that I couldn't have imagined if I tried.
    Maybe I wouldn't mind all this as much, if Ubisoft would admit to their mistakes, apologise, offer bonus content to show their shame and release their next game with developers that had more brain cells than before, yet to my dismay, they haven't. Instead, they've blamed AMD and have acted as if nothing has happened, like a child. Speaking of petty and childish behaviours, their dispute with Steam has gone on long enough, yet they decide to hold on to their precious values, and remove the game from the Steam store. It's funny how no one has mentioned how on the UK Steam, AC:U is still "currently unavailable in your region." GG, guys!    … Expand

French architecture is modelled very nicely as are the characters. Story gets a bit dull here and there though, which is a bad thing in a mostly story-driven game.

    Oh it would be so nice if Ubisoft had not moved this pile of crap of software to a few months.
    Technically, it is only in the beta phase and is full of artifacts and programming errors. On the Internet, it is mocked and images say more as words already everywhere;-).

    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.
