    Best lagg simulator since watch_dogs. You'll be lucky to reach 60 fps on ultra high graphics, maybe even thirty. On high without AA I'm lucky to get 15 in some places. GJ ubisoft, your lagg simulators keep improving.

    With that aside (this should also tell you that I am not the biggest die hard AC fan, having taken a long hiatus), so far the game is quite enjoyable. I see that there is a lot of flak given to the optimization for PC sucking, which I fully expected, I am delighted to say that I am running 60fps 80% percent of the time. When I do get frame dips, its never below 40, so not really a big deal. For those wondering here are my specs:
    i5 4670k Overclocked to 4.2ghz (I do have a master cooler CPU fan so that def helps)
    GTX 780 3GDRM
    16 gigs of RAM
    Anywho, Im not super far in the game, but i wanted to write this for those skeptical about getting it.. If you like AC, you'll like this game; if you don't, or have been getting tired of the AC franchise, then dont. But regardless, the fluidity of movement and parkour is drastically better than previous iterations, and the ambitious scope of the game is astounding. Combat has been improved and is definitely more difficult than before, but still not punishing to frustration.
    My biggest beef with the game right now is the accents.. why British? The voice actors CAN speak French, and i cant fathom why they dont at least speak with a french accent.. is it so hard? I know this seems nit picky, but in a world that is so beautifully realized, it really does take you out of the immersion and the France locale.
    Seriously though, I FULLY expected that the optimization would suck, but Ubisofts RECOMMENDED specs are quite accurate. If you meet the specs but were skeptical, go ahead and stop it, get the game, PM me and lets get assassinating!    … Expand

    Vsync disabled in-game but forced vsync through D3Doverrider or Radeon Pro boosts performance significantly and screen tearing is almost non-existing. My Resolution is 1440p on specs: AMD fx8320 clocked at 4Ghz, sli 770 4gb cards w/ 8gb ram. SweetFx enabled to improve graphics dramatically.
    honestly, this game rocks! Performance and optimization is not great by any means but even running in the mid 30's fps, the game is very smooth. ** I have tested this game on a single 770 card at 1080p w/ max settings and i never drop below 35 fps with sweetfx enabled** so if you have a single card of equal performance to a GTX 770 4gb, running max settings @1080p is a reality you can expect with smooth gameplay.
    Playing the game will make you understand why the performance is lacking even with a beefy PC. The graphics are unparalleled and the amount of detail is incredible! Hundreds of characters on screen, life like surroundings, lighting, reflections, shadows and tessellation effects like never before seen!
    Gameplay is fun with new free running moves and fighting mechanics. Story is not mind-blowing but it is engaging. The environment is so incredibly well done that you will want to explore every inch of the world you are in.
    I dont understand why others are having performance issues with better specs than mine.... reports of fps in the 20s with 780ti??? Something doest add up. Play the game!! It is great!!    … Expand

    This is the worst piece of trash in recent memory. I have a GTX TITAN X now and can't even get past the logos on startup. Crash Crash Crash... and there's no fix whatsoever. A $4,000 can't even run this thing. I used to have two 780ti's in SLI and couldn't even perform.

    Even without all the bugs, this game is mediocre at best. The new parkour control is horrible. The character always goes directions against my will. Combat system is utter rubbish. The automatic lock system is a joke. And side missions are just boring and repetitive, and dont make any sense story-wise. . And with all the microtransactions, this game deserved to go free.

    With a 4790K & 980GTX this game is currently an 8.0/10.

    When properly patched it can easily become an 8.5/10.

    45FPS @ 2560x1440 Ultra Ultra FXAA

    Gameplay is more or less the same as every other AC title, weak story but fun gameplay.

    I've paused for the 4th mission anticipating more performance with an upcoming patch.

    I'm not a big fan of the changes. Compared to the combat in Shadows of Mordor or some of the better Assassin Creed games this is a huge let down.

He constantly goes into the wrong position thus blowing my cover.

    The last drop for me was accidentally clicking the DLC on the mini-map because I just wanted to fast travel to a mission. I tried to go back to Paris, but it was impossible and I wasn't prepared for the Dead Kings. After a couple of hours trying to leave the DLC I just had enough. I simply quit and uninstalled the game. Never touching an AC game again, until they get their sh.t together.

    At least I still have Black Flag, which is fun unlike this piece of crap.

    (oh and I forgot. Optimization is not so great either. The textures are loading slowly thus making the game sometimes look like it's from the PS2 era and occasionally it just stutters.

    It had a terrible launch in 2014, sure, but it's all fixed now. It has the problems common to AC games like some bugs in the parkour or infinite fall (i had only one in my playtrough) but those are really insignificant and i really recommend you to play this now.

Afterwards, I find Arno climbing an invisible wall with no way to get down except exiting the game. Because most of the sessions aren't very fun, I usually don't restart the game.

    The layout of the map and the large number of civilians makes running around on rooftops faster than street travel again for the first time in years. Unfortunately, Ubi changed the free-running system to now require pressing an extra button for up or down. The system isn't tuned well, and while the system does allow a person to run around a corner or around an obstacle without inadvertently climbing, it is still a major step back in terms of fluidity of control.

    Combat is awful - where in previous games a player could cut down a crowd like Chow Yun Fat, Arno is not a very good fighter. The visual cues for parry timing have been tweaked, and they are not as effective - especially coupled with the slow-down that often occurs in very crowded areas while fighting. Further, there seems to be no way to prevent getting shot (the last several games had a human shield maneuver). Worst of all, 90% of the trademark assassin moves (air kills, stealth kills, etc) are unavailable until purchased with one of the FOUR in-game currencies. Combat has taken a HUGE step back in this iteration of the series.

    In previous games, Ubi tried to train us to accept running around a map looting chests as a substitute for gameplay. In this game, Ubi moves to step two: exploiting the now-ingrained chest hunting by making chests that can variously only be opened in co-op, using the smart-phone app, or using real-money to buy points. The map is so filled with markers for collectable objects, which as far as I can tell offer no significant benefit upon being collected, that it makes navigation a little frustrating. And the map itself is soooo huge that missions often require running a tremendous distance between objectives, just like the old days. I would've preferred to have the map broken into separate pieces with many more fast-travel options.

    A phenomenal storyline woudn't be enough to save this game, but it's irrelevant. Arno is an insipid character, like a shadow of Ezio, who as an orphan doesn't even have family members to use as a vehicle for driving the story. Overall, Unity is my least favorite Assassin's Creed game ever and probably the most disappointing AAA game I've ever played. Even AC: Liberation HD, the port from a mobile platform, exceeds this game in every measurable way short of outright visual fidelity. The only good thing I have to say about Unity at this point is that Ubi gave me a free copy of FC4 for being unlucky enough to buy Unity at full price.    … Expand

    The city of france is beautiful despite the time period in which the game takes place in, and the landmarks, the costumes, the people, the weapons, and the different attires from everyone are recreated in superb detail, it is, even to this day, a gorgeous game to look at.

    The gameplay has changed here from past assassin’s creed games, for starters, you have less control over the combat, locking on is done here automatically but it’s a coin toss whether it would work or not, half of the times Arno will sheath his sword in the middle of a battle if you face some enemies behind you, on the other hand, the difficulty is all over the place, the game is trivial in the main missions in this regard, but in the secondary activities, it’s brutal, and sometimes, hilariously, it emphasizes how poorly balanced the combat can be when you get surrounded by a ridiculous amount of enemies. You can’t counter anymore, instead the finishers that you perform, that are among the best the series have ever seen here, are executed when killing an enemy, you can also do them at times if you happen to reduce the enemies health to a point where their health bar starts flashing, this allows you to perform a finishing blow of sorts by holding the attack button, although sometimes this one works and other times it doesn’t.

    There’s a ton of customization here when it comesw to your weapons and equipment, you can change your attire and clothes to a multitude of different items and this is a great addition, the only complication is that there isn’t any sort of “transmog” system, and the clothing items have specific stats, the only way here to actually enable any sort of transmog is by using “outfits” which are separate from the invidiual clothing items you can equip, and a lot of the times tehir reminiscent of other AC games; still though, the customization is a welcome addition and the attires are really good.

    The platforming or “parkour” system has also received an overhaul, giving you three options on how to play with it this time around, you can climb up, climb down, and free run, a lot of this isn’t explained well, for example, in the first mission of the game you’re vaulting objects by climbing down… This gets exacerbated later on and, ironically, this was the first AC where the parkour system truly gave me problems, at times Arno (the main protagonist) wouldn’t move from a ledge, other times it would just not get a hold of the nearby ledge he had right in front of him, it was a mess for a while…

    Overall the game is fine, it’s serviceable and beautiful to look at, it also runs a lot better and plays a lot better than it used to with most of the bugs and optimization issues squashed, but sadly, still, some remain, and the overall aspect of the game that remains here is one of clunkiness and a lot of unfulfilled ambition, perhaps for the technical limitations of the consoles at the time, or maybe for the lack of time the team had in working for the game, but either way, the game remains a bit of a clunky game at the end of the day.

Going through the game with Connor was fun and the graphics were great for the time, but characterization was weak. Then came along Black Flag. Edward Kenway was an annoying character. The game had a lot of bugs and side missions were pointless. Gameplay basically consisted of naval battles and roaming in the sea, tailing other ships with your own which didn't make sense. All this made me hopeless for Unity. I Wasn't Waiting for it. however, when I saw the graphics and the world, I Decided to give it a shot. First AC Unity is a broken game. A lot of times, for no apparent reason, Arno fell into oblivion. Many times during free-run the game didn't respond to keyboard input. The story was the weakest until now lacking any actual climax unlike the stories of Ezio. The game was basically a tail, tackle, assassinate simulation, seeming like an alpha test for the engine, not an actual AAA hyped title. However I enjoyed it. roaming through Paris was fun but not at all rewarding. I wasn't even interested in going for the side missions. The strongest part was the Graphics which looked stunning, although it was plagued by countless glitches. The Whole game was a pleasing experience, but main story was ridiculously short and overall Assassin's Creed Unity had the potential to become one of the best games of 2014. It truly was a next-gen title.… Expand

    As a big Assassins Creed fan i skipped out on Unity because of poor reviews, and issues with the game, but recently i decided to give it a shot on game-fly, and my overall opinion on it is that it is a good Assassins Creed, but nothing special.

    Visuals/Presentation

    First off the visuals, which right off the bat you can see the stunning detail that was put into crafting Paris during the French Revolution. The buildings are highly detailed, and pretty to look at, as well as nice lighting effects. The presentation is also good in Unity, as i experienced no frame rate drops or slow downs through out my playthrough.

    Gameplay

    The Gameplay in Unity is rock solid, as expected from a AC game with minor tweaks to the combat that were made and in my opinion, the best combat to date for the series. It is definitely a more intuitive system then in previous entries. The new "parkour down" system is a welcome addition to the game and adds a lot more maneuverability to the game, and although it has some rough edges to it, I feel it can only get better in future entries.

    Story

    As far as story goes, Unity provides a decent quest and a couple of likable characters but ultimately the whole love aspect between Arno and Elise as the main theme just didn't cut it for me. The story was good enough for me to stay interested, but i wish they did more with the Templar/assassin dynamic, as well as some more modern era involvement. The best parts of the game for me were the time lapse sequences in which you have to travel through different eras in order to reach the end, they were interesting, and above all unique.

    In the end Unity is a solid entry to the franchise but nothing spectacular, some key things were improved upon such as combat and the new parkour system, but the lackluster story is a bit disappointing and it has me wondering, and wishing that Ubisoft would take a break before returning to Assassins Creed, so we can all breath a little    … Expand

    Now the downside. Janky controls are the titles biggest limiting factor. Parkour, which is a big aspect of this game are clumsy and at times, downright frustrating due to poor controls and poor execution in game design. Simple thing like climbing in windows, can be an exercise in frustration. As are running/pursuit sequences where the character gets "stuck" on objects in his path.

    In short, immersive, promising but ultimately, feels unfinished and lacking in polish.    … Expand

Your PC code is horribly optimized, if at all. Your mocap is a century behind average. You got history as your playground and all you can come up with is rehashed content thinly disguised by a new cityscape. The man-hours behind it do not convert that well to creativity, Ubi. You'll always have Paris - now what about a game to make justice to it?

    Seriously now. 10ers, do you really enjoy games that play you instead of letting you play them? ACU does just that. It never gives you any real freedom of movement or choice. You do the one thing it expects you to do... or start over until you get it right. We're mashing buttons so that the creators of this pretty but clumsy idiot of a game can have their amusement. I do not mind your ridiculous Uplay, Ubi, nor your micro-transactions... as long as I feel your commitment to give me some honest-to-god entertainment in return.

    The style, the world, the culture is just gorgeous. Big props to those who created this world and filled it with so many content. Sometimes you dont want to run till your next destination, but just climb the building and watch the city from above or walk in the streets. The animations are also quite awesome comparing to the previous parts. The plot is OK, dont expect any jawdropping story that will change your life forever, but its interesting to follow the characters story and overall Arno is a cool character.
    And now what completely ruined the game for me - BUGS. This game supposed to reboot the franchise to attract new people into the franchise and keep the fans playing. What I got in the release date is a game full of bugs and glitches. I tried to close my eyes on them, but untill this date the game is still full of bugs. Jumping hair, not stable FPS, NPC glitches and the worst part - Arno getting stuck in the middle of air, on the side of the buildings. I got tired of those bugs so much, that i completely lost interest to play the game, because I would know that every time I launch the game those problems keep spoiling all the fun.
    Thanks to such technical performance I will from now on think twice whether to buy a Ubisoft game at all and I recommend you to do the same.

I hope that next time their performance will be better, because its a pitty that a fan of the series loses interest to play the game because its awful technical performance.    … Expand

The voice actings pretty good, the characters seem somewhat interesting (not spectacular, but good), and the story is pretty awesome (the french revolution is my favorite part of history). What keeps this game from being absolutely obliteratingly amazing is its absolute HORRIBLE optimization. AND IT'S NOT EVEN JUST ON PC. PS4 players as well as some Xbox One players are having trouble as well. Also, the MINIMUM requirements are a 680. That tells you what kind of graphics you're getting into. The RECOMMENDED specs, probably what was used to play it, uses an i7 3770 with 8 gigs of RAM as well as a freaking 780! Jesus, no wonder everyone is having trouble. As for the port to PC, there are plenty of glitches, and I expected that, but that many were unacceptable. And honestly, even with a freaking 980 (watching the gameplay from my friend with an awesome PC) it stutters and lags and freaking annoys the hell out of us. So, Ubisoft, Fix the game. Make it more optimized for PC and consoles, and maybe then, MAYBE THEN, I'll consider giving it the 8 I was going to give. Thank you for your time… 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.

Stunning graphics (and facial animations) can’t hide the huge amount filler missions / collectibles and awful implementation of the traditional Assassin’s Creed parkour / free-running system. Unity is easily one of the more frustrating entries in the franchise. Oh, and there are co-op missions. Not that anyone is playing.
    Total size on my hard drive: 49.4 GB

    + Great graphics. The level of detail is superb. Facial animations are generally great too.
    + Loved the massive crowds. Blending into a crowd feels completely natural.
    + Co-op works well, though good luck randomly finding anyone to play with.
    + Well-optimized on PC in 2017.
    + Great soundtrack.
    + Ubisoft was clearly trying for Ezio 2.0 with Arno Dorian; he is charming one instant and grittily determined the next. A good character, even if his arc is something we’ve seen before from Ubisoft.

    +/- The story is… odd. Someone brings a blindfolded Templar into the Assassin headquarters (seriously?!). Another has a traitor taking extreme action because – he wasn’t good at arguing, wasn’t able to convince someone of his point of view? Things frequently happen because the plot needs them to happen, not because they make any particular sense.

    - Many story elements feel half-baked. A sword of Eden? Where did it come from? Who made it? How did wind up in France in the 14th century? What is its significance to the sage? No clue.
    - Arno’s Eagle vision doesn’t function like Ezio’s or even Edward’s. It only serves to highlight enemies and objects of interest – it can’t trace the steps of patrol patterns.
    - An attempt to introduce boss battles mostly fails. The final boss starts well, but ends as a joke as the exact same pattern can be repeated multiple times to win – the boss never adjusts to a particular tactic.
    - Poorly designed assassination missions. Either too easy or too hard. I breezed through almost every 5-star difficulty mission, but died repeatedly on several 3-star missions.
    - Edge-detection, so important in a parkour / free-running game, is some of the worst in the Assassin’s Creed franchise. There are some classic gifs of Ezio, Altair, and others randomly leaping to their deaths, getting stuck on merchant stalls, and the like. But this kind of thing happens so often in Unity it’s not funny. Worse, it creates issues when trying to stealth. Sometimes Arno will slip through a window when asked, other times he perches on edge of the roof like an idiot, twitching but not going through the window. Sometimes he’ll go in the direction the camera is facing; more often, though, he’ll go across the camera. I understand that optimizing a world of the size of Unity’s would require a titanic amount of work, but it doesn’t feel like Ubisoft even optimized their algorithm, formula, parameter, or what ever it is they used for the edge-detection.
    - The delay before standing up from a chest, or taking off running, or getting back on your feet after being knocked down is programmed into the animation. I though it was input lag at first, but it’s not. I wonder who the idiot was who thought that was a good idea. Combine this with the issues with edge-detection, and AC Unity is easily one of the most frustrating games I’ve ever played.
    - Combat is heavy-footed and clumsy. No more kill-chains. Or counter kills. You can dodge-roll, though...
    - Too many collectibles. Most provide nothing except the satisfaction that comes from seeing a completely clean map.
    - Many meaningless side-missions, if they can even be called that. Go to the Assassin icon on the map, get the briefing, walk around a corner, stab someone, voila! Mission completed.
    - Meaningless street missions. Catch a thief, prevent a citizen from being killed, kill the criminals. It will all happen dozens of times.
    - Accumulate money fast. Makes the collectibles even more meaningless.
    - Paris looks flat and boring from the roof-tops. Few landmarks means you’ll be constantly referring to your map just to find your way around.

    Assassin’s Creed Unity does feel like a massively expanded Brotherhood. But there is no Volpe, no Machiavelli, no Leonardo, and we’re not fighting the Borgias. The vendetta in Unity is on a personal level, and what made previous assassins (and Ezio in particular) special is that they found a way to rise above the petty grievances to work for a cause greater than themselves. In contrast, Arno joins the assassins in a fit of anger and spends much of the game seeking his personal revenge, only caring about the Creed in the final voice-over. Unity’s beautiful game-world becomes the backdrop to a blah story, a massive amount of collectibles and horrible parkour – all of which scream of a missed opportunity.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Assassin's Creed Unity launched on PC in such a poor state that it has taken me till 2018 to actually be able to play and run it. Nonetheless, I didn't judge the game and this review won't really be about the PC port though it does factor into my opinions of it somewhat. Assassin's Creed Unity was built in a brand new engine, this is clear and it shows with the amount of bugs that as of 2018 still plague the game. Paris looks washed out and the graphics are muddy, though I suppose this fits the aesthetic of the time. I don't go to an assassin's creed game for graphics though, I go for the story and the history! And does Assassin's Creed Unity nail the French Revolution? Not really, no. Arno's story barely even mentions the revolution and I feel that his fragmented mess of a narrative could literally have been shoehorned into almost any Assassin's Creed game to date if a couple of names and details were switched. The narrative arc for a character which started out as a witty Ezio 2.0 was promising for the first two hours but slowly fell apart, leaving him feeling more like a Farcry character than a real protagonist and his supporting cast aren't much to go on either, other than Pierre Bellec who ***Spoiler*** ends up killing the Grand Master of the assassin's for speaking to Arno's love interest Elise who was a Templar. What a tragic end to the only remotely likeable character in the game and that's only because he called me pisspot. The story arc itself literally cannot make its mind up regarding the direction of the narrative it flicks between Bellec to the Templar Grandmaster at one point so jarringly that I thought I'd accidentally skipped a memory. The game also likes to shoehorn in famous people that we've all heard of like Napoleon despite the fact he didn't really bring much to the game and leaves out anybody solely important to the French Revolution like Maximillien Robespierre (other than a cheeky mention at the beginning as he is admitted into the party.)
    The new detective mode is pretty decent too, but I think Syndicate did it way better. So, why did I give it a 4 instead of a 0 if I thought it was a useless Assassin's Creed game? That would be because of the combat, it's heavy, meaty and satisfying as well as highly customiseable. I loved toting a heavy old great sword and sweeping the floor with patriots and I think the weapon and armour system was a step in the right direction- perfected now by Origins. Mechanically, it's almost beautiful as a game, but as a story narrative game this was sorely lacking.    … Expand

После убийства он снова телепортировался в коридор к телу врага. В общем с сетевым кодом явно проблемы.

I just can say that would be a struggle to complete the game if you are a completionist, especially because of the high rate of spawning random events on the streets.

Then fight is something at all if more than 2 enemies attacked me, I just stay on one place and dying because me easier to die than kill 3 or God forbid 4 enemies when in 1 Assassin's Creed I could kill more than 7 enemies, but Ubisoft doesn't care but they did it with another enemy.

Куча    Прошло почти 6 лет и в игре до сих пор куча багов, весь Париж в каких-то черных полосах, люди пропадают, вылеты и так далее. Зато фпс стал нормальным, да, спустя шесть то лет.

    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).

    To all fellow english speaking users who claim that Unity is "Great AC game ever".

    전투난이도를 높혀본다는 쉬워보이는 일이 사실 얼마나 심하게 게임을 망칠수 있는지 보여줬다. 기술적인 문제로 출시당시 형편없었다는 점에서도 불합격.

    If you play this game 1 month late, will you go bankrupt?
    If there are 2 ac games in 1 week, it means. ubisoft is surprised how to milk the series. ubisoft's goal is not to make games.

    It's 2021 the game still has bugs. The story is very boring badly written, unlikeable characters, very short gameplay, chaotic map with 10000 collectibles which is extremely boring. Bad fighting mechanics, clumsy as **** I want to play all AC games, but i considered several times to just stop play this **** hours already gets me bored and annoyed.Worst parkour in the series.

    Assassin's Creed: Unity is the eight installment of the longstanding stealth action adventure series. I have to admit that Assassin's Creed was never my really my favorite thing. I remember back when the first games came out, I tried to get into it a few times, but I never made it past the first half hour. The one that got me was the Black Flag, the setting was just too damn interestingAssassin's Creed: Unity is the eight installment of the longstanding stealth action adventure series. I have to admit that Assassin's Creed was never my really my favorite thing. I remember back when the first games came out, I tried to get into it a few times, but I never made it past the first half hour. The one that got me was the Black Flag, the setting was just too damn interesting for me to pass this game. I was not exactly thrilled, but I got into the story and now AC is part of my routine. In AC: Unity we leave the ocean and arrive in the city of Paris amidst the French Revolution. Now I hate revolutions and all the dread they inevitably bring and I hate the French. But I was determined to persevere. I did and I can even point some of the positives of this game: first and foremost, the setting. This time the developers really did put in a lot of work into creating a faithful replica of Paris. It is really beautiful and as historically accurate as the story allows it to be. It is really great and I spent hours just walking around the city and admiring the architecture and comparing it to its current state. Many landmarks have their own little entry in the game's database, so it can also be educational. The other thing I like are the murder mystery quests. These are a great addition to the series and I had a lot of fun playing them. The customizable weapons and armor are also a welcome improvement. But honestly, that is just about it. The rest of the game is just meh. I guess my main problem with the entire series is just how repetitive these games are. The main story follows the very well known format: He's a templar! Kill him! Oh, he's a templar also! Kill him! They have tried to spice it up a little bit, with at least few innovative ways of assassination, but frankly it is too little. There is a number of side quests with interesting lore, but all of them are also just kill, kill, kill. My other big problem, also with the entire series, is the damn console like controls. No matter how much time I spend playing these games, the controls still feel clunky and awkward, something that does not happen to me with other games. Classic AC feature: no manual save, just autosave. It is honestly not that bad, but I always prefer to save myself. Graphics is pretty good, kinda bleak colors. Game font is again pretty mundane. The stealth system can sometimes inexplicably fail and reveal your position, it happened to me enough times that it is worth mentioning. And one more little detail that can become pretty annoying. Several types of info windows with various text and in game information all overlay in one part of the screen, making you to wait to read what you want to read. And finally the infamous Ubisoft collectables. There are no less than 500 useless collectables and you will spend no less than 10 hours of your life to collect them all to gain nothing of worth. Microtransactions are present in many forms: buying special in-game currency with real life money, overpriced season pass that contained only one standard length story DLC and the myriad of weapon packs. SJW politics are present, but I would almost say that in lesser quantity than in the previous two games, which is somewhat surprising. But just to name a few: the drag queen, the army of women quest, female soldiers murder mystery.

    DLCs:

    Dead Kings - The first and only real story DLC for AC Unity. It takes you just outside of Paris to a little town called Franciade with a nice, darker, gloomier atmosphere. Nothing changes in the gameplay, the story is set after the main game. The only big addition is the large system of underground dungeons and caves connected underneath the town. There are a few side quest, but the main focus is on the main story of the DLC. The puzzles in this DLC are not difficult on their own, but because they are not set up or explained at all, they can be really confusing. The biggest problem of this DLC is the greedy attitude of Ubisoft, charging 40 USD for a season pass, which contain just this 5 hour DLC and a few worthless weapon packs. That is shameful. Verdict: 55 %

    I do not know what more to say. At no point did this game excited me, not really. Final Verdict: 52 %    … Expand

    Grafikler ve tasarımlar; oyun grafik konusında ve tarihi mekan konusunda çok çalışmış ve mükemmel bir görüntü ve gerçeklik ortaya çıkarmış. Eserleri görünce saygı duruşuna geçmek istiyorsunuz. Oyunun açılışında da grafikleri ateş eden bi sekans var fakat devamında böyle bir sahne yok. Oyunun optimizasyonu kötü olduğu için kullandığımız itemları detaylı göremedim.

Eserleri görünce saygı duruşuna geçmek istiyorsunuz. Oyunun açılışında da grafikleri ateş eden bi sekans var fakat devamında böyle bir sahne yok. Oyunun optimizasyonu kötü olduğu için kullandığımız itemları detaylı göremedim. Sadece grafikleri güzel. Hikayesi; oyun bize yeniden bir Ezio yapmaya kalkmış ama olmamış. Başlarda hikâyede hmm, tamam, olur, derken oyunun bi noktasından sonra artık aceleyle mi yapıldı bilemem anlatım bozuluyor, karakter zıtlıklar yaşıyor, ergenleşiyor, aptallaşıyor, klişeleşiyor. Bi yerden sonra hikayeye biri giriyor ama hiç temeli olmadan sonra hedef o, ardından aynısı falan derken çok rahat kopuluyor hikayeden. Elise ile olan aşk hikayesi klişe olmasına karşın çok güzel işlenebilirdi ama işlenemiyor, hiç ediliyor. Oyunun finaline doğru artık "bu kim ya niye öldürüyoz, bu kimmiş ya niye peşindeyiz" diyordum. Son savaş çok kötü. Finali bomboş hiçbir şey yok. Yan görevler de ise artık metin var ama olmasa da olurmuş. Copy-paste. Takip, koru, çal, sız, çöz, öldür. Metin var dediğim de bir cümle falan. "Bu benim götümü elledi git döv" gibi. Dead Kings dlcsine de başladım ama bi yerden sonra fena baydı dayanamadım bıraktım. Genel itibariyle o da potansiyel barındırmıyordu. Yani hikayesi ortalama altında kalmış. Oynanış; hahahhahah buraya yazacak çok kötü şeyim var. 1. Oyuna yeni tırmanma ve aşağı inme mekanikleri eklenmiş ama boş eskisinin aynısı 0 değişme. Halen karakter random hareketler, takılmalar yaşıyor. 2. Oyunda 4 farklı yakın dövüş silahı var ve aynı anda kullanılmıyor. Aralarında ustalaşılacak kadar bi fark yok sadece boş görsellik. 3. İtemlar seviye seviye ama en kötü itemdan efsanevi itema geçsen bile sanki hiçbir şey değişmemiş gibi oluyor. Boş kozmetik ve Ubisoft un oyun içi satımlarla para kazanma çabası. 4. Tabanca ve tüfek kullanımı çok yavaş insan kullanmak istemiyor. 5. Sözde oyunda suikast yaparken seçme özgürlüğü var ama sadece 1 tane. Ya düz öldür ya alengirli öldür. 6. Dlc ile gelen giyotin silahı kötü. Mühimmatı çok az, yavaş, ustalığı yok. Toplu öldürmede işe yarıyabilir, oyunda bunu bilerek bi görev tasarlamış ama 3 mermi olduğunu düşünmemiş. Bi yerden sonra 50vs1 yapınca bıraktım oynamayı. 7. Skill tree sistemi gelmiş oyuna normal bi assassin de olması gereken şeyler skille alınıyor. İşe yarar 2 3 şey var kalanı traş. 8. Kostümler çöp, etkisiz ve kötü tasarımlar. 9. Oyundaki toplanabilir eşyaların bir amacı yok ve zibilyon tane var etrafta. Cidden toplamanın bi amacı yok, neden varlar acaba. 10. Harita o kadar işaretle dolu ki gidilecek yeri bulmak zulum, seçmeye çalışmak işkence oluyor. 11. Oyun ssd de olmasına rağmen çok uzun yüklenme sekansları var. 12. saysam bin tane sıkıntısı var ama en kötüsü oyunu en düşük ayarlarda da en yüksek ayarlarda da 25-35fps arası oynuyoruz. Karakter heryere takılıyor. Oyun sanki bitmeden piyasaya çıkmış gibi. Nadiren zevk aldım. Yazsam daha bi ton sinir bozucu şey var. Sanırım AC3 bundan daha iyi oyun. Rogue'den iyi ama sağlam sinir istiyor oynamak için. Ha birde eşli görevler var ama onlar da buglı ve kimse oynamadığı için boş.… 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.
