    If Black Flag was a self-contained explosion of quick-witted brilliance, Assassin's Creed: Unity is nowt but wreckage. Stand aside. [Issue@155, p.99]

    While its myriad of technical issues are certainly detrimental to anyone’s enjoyment, it’s the lack of ambition in reinventing its aging mechanics and tired mission design that leave Unity treading water.

    Assassin’s Creed Unity may be an incredible piece of architecture, but that’s sadly all it is.

    Finding enjoyment in Unity requires a great deal of patience, more than anyone can afford. I want to like the game, and I do to some extent, however I cannot ignore that it’s broken. And there is no patch that can ever save Unity from its tarnished image.

    Even though AC is an yearly release franchise, and to be honest AC IV is not exactly what I'm looking for, I gotta say, AC Unity is freakingEven though AC is an yearly release franchise, and to be honest AC IV is not exactly what I'm looking for, I gotta say, AC Unity is freaking awesome, and totally fresh. The graphic, the setting, the atmosphere is perfect, the characters is well done, the story, although predictable is still pretty good. And I didn't even experience any frame drop, and hardly any glitches at all. Overall, this is definitely the best AC game ( for me at least )… Full Review »

As demonstrated by Assassin's Creed Unity, the game just feels like it slogs through mission after mission with a lack of cohesion. And does it surprise anyone at this point that the game doesn't look anything like it did at E3? Man, what happened to you Ubisoft?… Full Review »

Cant even bother to pay attention to the story because the game is so poorly optimized. Did i mention the character models are frumpy and have an almost melting mannaquin quality to them? The combat, in comparison to other games with similar mechanics, is weird. The attacks impact the enemies with the feeling of a hot knife through butter. That is to say it feels like play fighting. More often than not the weapon does not even touch the enemy you are fighting. The climbing is laughably simplistic. Hold R2 and X while holding UP on the left stick. The character whatever its name was would just glitch in place moving up every building. Jumping between buildings feels silly. Every jump was a glitch. I dont know what else to say. except do not waste your money on this rushed yearly disappointment.… Full Review »
