    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I bought Assassin's Creed Unity on launch day, because I've been a faithful fan of the series since the very first game Assassin's Creed in which we follow the story of Altair. Excitedly I slid the disc into my PS4, which I had purchased specifically in order to play THIS game back in December. That's right, almost a full year before. I am that much of a fan. This was my experience:

    Graphics: Honestly, I did not see the AMAZINGNESS that some reviews were claiming. Perhaps I don't posses their discerning eye, but I didn't see much of a difference from the graphics presented to me in Assassin's Creed Black Flag. Missing was the weather system I expected, it only occasionally rained for a brief time before clearing up to sunny again. When my character dove into the water, he emerged completely dry. I appreciated being able to see through most windows, and while limited in their diversity, you could go inside most building; whether through an open window or locked door. 2/10

    Atmosphere: Crowds. I felt like this was the embodiment of the word in Unity. There were people everywhere, and they clogged up every single street and space on the ground. It made scaling the side of a building and traversing the roof tops far more appealing than having to deal with the feeble jog that Arno would succumb to when he'd push his way in. The city of Paris is massive, and took me several days to completely explore, however I feel like a genuine atmosphere was sacrificed in order to give the lackluster impression of population. The NPCs wander around, sometimes in circles, meander to shops and even hold hands as they traverse the streets. People waved the same head on several pikes, burned effigies in protest, and even threw rotted fruit at the guards. Revolution! I get it. 2/10

    AI: There are some aspects here that were very well done, but others that really need some work. You can stand in front of a guard in a restricted area and he will not see you. You can sometimes kill several guards with the hidden blade before any nearby become alarmed. Some NPC baddies seemed to be able to see through walls. I did appreciate the one time I managed to get tattled on by a nearby NPC when he saw me kill a guard and knew where I was hiding. Even pointed me out to another guard who was asking if anyone saw anything. NPCs take the hills if you preform a high profile action such as shooting someone, or killing a guard in crowd cover. So no complaints there. Arno is unable to use his hidden blade as his main weapon, and you can't air assassinate a guard that is aware of your presence. You can air pounce on them, then there is an awkward period when the both of you calmly get to your feet, a pause of several seconds and then engage in combat. 2/10

    Sound: This game lacks the music I expected from previous titles. The soundtrack was fantastic in those titles that featured Ezio, which alone told its own sort of story. Sweeping arias, subdued subtle undertones of warning, and blood pumping battle throws...all missing in Unity. There wasn't even any music when wandering about the city, unless you happened across one of the handful of renovated social clubs or that lone guy strumming his guitar. All other audio, such as crowd ambiance, was on a thirty second loop. 1/10

    Story: I'm not sure exactly what was happening over in Ubisoft Studios, but someone didn't have their act together when they presented this travesty to their customers. Unity is a love story, not a tale of an assassin let loose on the streets of revolutionary Paris. Arno is in love, and will do everything and anything for it. Including getting himself kicked out of the assassins. What's worse is that once you've completed the 12 story sequences, the developers fail to explain how exactly it is that Arno can continue to work for the assassins and is allowed in their inner sanctum after they remove him from their ranks. There was a stunning lack of depth to Arno, and other than his obsession with his ladylove; had no motivation. Not even a glimmer of interest in investigating the death of his own father that happened in sequence 1. Plot holes abound! 0/10

    Multiplayer: I can't say much, I was able to go online for two hours on launch day before getting a PS4 CE-34878-0 error that crashed my game and has continued to do so since. I do know that online connectivity is a must to unlock a great deal of end-game equipment, and so if you are a completionist like myself, you'll find yourself frustrated and annoyed. Ubisoft has been fairly uncooperative in getting this fixed, instead focusing on their also broken companion app. 0/10

    Summery: Don't buy this game, unless you're happy paying for an incomplete game. Wait for it to drop in price like Ubisoft stock, and hopefully a majority of the bugs and brokenness will have been fixed. I'm so disappointed in this latest installment of the Assassin's Creed franchise. I've completed the game as much as possible at 89%, and I'm moving on. Sadly.    … Expand

    The AC franchise has been a favorite of mine since the beginning, but this game is just broken. Unpolished, buggy, they just rushed this game out too soon. It wasn't ready. And its just uninspiring.

    Assassin's Creed 4 is a broken mess of a game that should have never been released in the condition it's in. Bought this game and don't have an internet connection?

    On top of the technical awfulness, this game just isn't good. The traversal feels more imprecise and unpredictable than ever, the combat feels particularly sluggish and drunken, and the story is a joke. I couldn't even bring myself to play this game for more than an hour at a time (before I traded it in) because there's simply nothing fun about it.

    Assassins Creed Unity is that moment where the Goose that lays the golden egg is finally killed by the Greed of Ubisoft. This game has been released about 3-4 months before it had any right to be put up for sale. I don't believe the Developers and Programmers were incompetent but it's obvious that they have been forced to sign off on a game that is just not finished.

    Plethora of    Assassins Creed Unity is that moment where the Goose that lays the golden egg is finally killed by the Greed of Ubisoft. This game has been released about 3-4 months before it had any right to be put up for sale. I don't believe the Developers and Programmers were incompetent but it's obvious that they have been forced to sign off on a game that is just not finished.

    Plethora of Glitches and a Framerate that makes the promised '30 Frames Per Second' seems like an idealistic dream. The Game doesn't usher in the franchise to a new Console Generation but it's more like a badly ported PS2 game!! Insanely long load times separate bits of game play, in which, glitches galore and the stuttering frame rate make sure that you are never enjoying the experience.

    The hey days of the Assassins Creed games telling a proper story are gone. The story and the cut scenes are so bad that i don't even remember what the point is. Gameplay is ruined by the Frame rate and the glitches, the fact that you know that even running on Roof tops could lead to you getting stuck in some house that you weren't supposed to enter or fall through the floor, means that you are never enjoying the experience.

    In conclusion if you are new to the franchise, 'Don't buy it' this game doesn't deserve to be out on the market. Since it is a buggy glitchy mess that never deserved to be put out for sale. However, if you are someone who loves the Assassins Creed Franchise, ' Don't Buy it' else this piece of garbage will ruin great memories of a time where Assassins Creed was about achieving Greatness in Gaming.    … Expand

I've had to leave the game numerous times to be able to finally free my character from the window that they had somehow fused into. Multiplayer in this game is also where you can find an abundance of glitches and the occasional frame-rate nose dive. I've had the game go from 27 fps to 15 fps within the blink of an eye and stay there for more then 3 minutes. I've also had missions FORBID THEMSELVES from letting my friends and I complete said mission, a prime example of this would be a mission were you have to take out snipers within buildings before a characters chariot comes between their cross-hairs. The mission INTENTIONALLY makes it so that once you've taken out at least 8 of the 9 snipers, the last sniper disappears from existence, and your left looking at the bar that says "8 Out Of 9 Snipers Eliminated" until you restart the mission again and hope that the game is in a forgiving mood. The story of this game feels like a french version of ACII, and in no way does it improve upon it or give you a memorable character like ACII did. The only thing this game seems to do right is the combat system, but about 2/3s of it is still BS. They took away the mechanic were you were able to turn any enemy into a meatshield when an enemy was about to shoot you, so now, every time you fight a group of enemies, you have to either roll around and move like an autistic child on a sugar high to avoid being shot, and even WITH that, you still get hit. The enemies AI seems to have also taken a massive amount of steroids, because the difficulty enemies present now is even more then that of all previous AC games enemies combined. So enjoy dying a lot. Overall, I'm glad a friend lent me this game, because I would have regretted this purchase till the day I died… Expand

    Bought it, brought it back as defective. This franchise is broken - that's why Disilets started his own company - he can't take where his own game has gone. Even if they make the next one a 10 the brand is so tarnished that sales will never revive. Nothing but patch work. It's the worst game I've bought for PS4 so far.

    Another element borrowed from batman was the Nostradamus Enigma missions where you start to solve few riddles similar to the ones used to be in Arkham series.
    Now to the bad things. Which are really really bad
    Sadly the game is broke. Too much bugs. Annoying bugs. Game breaking bugs. Companion app sync bugs. Uplay connectivity bugs. Lots of bugs everywhere and almost touch every aspect of the game.
    UbiSoft even asked gamers to disable online features. Can you believe that?! They were too excited about these online features and to workaround few bugs they asked us to disable the online features.
    Also in order to reviel everything on the map you need purchase Helix points in order to unlock time saver packs. Helix points are available on PlayStation Store or XBox Live. and they are not cheap.
    This is just too much. UbiSoft totally ruined the game with all the bugs and microtransactions.

    Strange sound drop ins, i dont know how to explain this any other way than say that it is like the game has torrets. Sometimes i might hear a random "UGGGGHHH" out of nowhere in the middle of a stealth sequence or repeated NPC dialogue "I DONT KNOW HOW THEY FIT ALL THOSE...." all carrying pikes with heads, thousands of them. This is my biggest gripe, at first it was funny but now its just god damn annoying. Fix this **** Ubisoft.    … Expand

    Ok Honestly, I only rated this game a 2 because of the gameplay. The game itself is good but the glitches and bugs ruined my experience. I couldn't play it for more than 2 minutes without the frame rate struggling or the game glitching out on me. It was utterly ridiculous. I would wait for price drop or rent it. I wouldn't purchase this at full price.

    I'll be honest I used to be a Ubifan-boy but AC Unity just did it for me, the game feels like it was developed by someone who has no experience what so ever.

    -The new combat system is terrible: In all the other ac games its been practically the same, hit triangle to shoot, square to attack and circle to counter and slow down time just long enough to choose whether you want to disarm,    I'll be honest I used to be a Ubifan-boy but AC Unity just did it for me, the game feels like it was developed by someone who has no experience what so ever.

    -The new combat system is terrible: In all the other ac games its been practically the same, hit triangle to shoot, square to attack and circle to counter and slow down time just long enough to choose whether you want to disarm, kill, shoot, hurt and those sometimes changed depending on the game, but in unity its square to attack as usual but when you're attacked all there is, is parry and dodge: dodge is pretty much usless since parry does the same thing and is almost a counter but there is now slowdown or indicator that you're being attacked and if you don't hit it at the right moment you get a chunk of you life taken away, but the worst thing about combat is the lack of human sheild, since every enemy in the game has a pistol, if they stand back and decide to shoot you, you're screwed. You can't use any weapon you want like in all the others you can only use a melle weapons (which you must buy for any real damage) for actual combat, air assassinations are also very glitchy and I'm not even sure whether a double air assassination is possible on this game.

    -The parkour is equally horrible, all you can really do is up or down and they seem to never want to just let go of the wall, for example sometimes you'll want to jump over a bench, but the character will just glitch and hold onto to bench and you press everything you would to get down but nothing will work, it even says there is a "wall eject" if you press X which does literally nothing and every jump is just buggy and choppy.

    I have no idea why they changed any of these things since they were absolutly fine before. Ubisoft boasts graphics so good it can only run on 30fps but really its looks pretty much the same as black flag, excluding the view point synchronizations. The mechanics of "The crowd" seem non-existant and lock-picking is like no other game, it just feels like a hacking puzzle from black flag. Consumables are used up very quickly since at the start to about half way you have almost no inventory space, and if were to die after using a smoke bomb for example, upon respawn (after a very long loading screen) the item isn't given back.
    Multiplayer is poor since bad connections just add to the uncorfortable feeling of the game and to be ablt to play properly you have to complete missions to get points to unlock abilities that ordinarily would already be available. I've experiances a few times when the frame rate would drop to about 5-10 frames and 1 or 2 crashes. The only thing that could redeem the game would be the story line which I haven't yet finished but for now it gets a 4 for an large open map (yet smaller than in ac4), slight improvement on the graphics and a few minor details other games would usually leave out.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So I´m making one thing clear from the start. Assassins Creed Unity is the worst Assassins Creed so far.
    Even if you don´t look at the bugs, which are plenty, the story is not good at all. The game only focuses on Multiplayer. Which is a huge improvement since its predecessors. But it has no story about the old civilization what so ever.
    !!! Spoiler!!!
    So your father is an assassin and dies. You becoming an assassin. hmm. kinda like Assassins Creed 2. Your mentor kinda betrays you and you kill him. You get thrown out of the brotherhood, keep on fighting, kill a view templars and at the end you fight the big boss of the templars in paris. Which suddenly has a artifact weapon.
    Your "love" dies and you kill him. You get the artifact weapon. The end.
    !!! Spoiler!!!

    So this is the story in a nut shell. Climbing is very anoying in unity. You are much faster, if you stick to the streets and just simply run. The side missions may contain a little bit of story, but basically its the same as in all the other assassins creed before. Which is not bad. Its the imense volume of these side missions which make it hard to even use you map. All you see are icons of some side mission. The rewarding of those side missions is questionable. Defend a guy against 3 enemys you get 1500 Livres. Kill an oponent which is guarded by 1000000 soldier and you get 700 Livres?! I´m mostly disapointed by the story, i know from the start, that the game has a lot of bugs, but bugs plus "already-seen-heard-played" story?! well eventhough i only paid 30 € for the game, it was wasted. I don´t know more about the story of assassins creed itself. I just played as some random assassin which is in my perpective not very charismatic.

    So if you never played assassins creed, its a funny game. But if you played it from the start, you simply be disappointed. Because it doesn´t matter from which point of view you look at it, the game is simply not in the league as its predecessors. I know that this is mainly caused by the marketing of the game. Because there policy is: Every year 1 assassins creed game has to be released. But with the new posibillities of the next gen consoles and the growing marked and a relatively high standard of a game. This is just not bareable.
    If this is the course assassins creed is taking, i´m not really up for it to buy the next releases.

    I know this review is kind of emotional, but to get to the point:
    pro:
    the grafic is good.
    the multiplayer has improved drastically
    movements look nice
    playing the game is fun to some extend
    roleplaying feeling because of the equipment you can get and combine
    contra:
    the story is not good
    there are a lot of bugs
    climbing in paris is a pain in the ass
    getting fast from point A to point B is only possibly threw running on the ground
    not really charismatic characters

    So all in all, its not a bad game like E.T. But it is the worst assassins creed which has been made thus far.    … Expand

    AC Unity should’ve been a fantastic. It was the first game to reinvent the franchise since AC3, and with so many good ideas under its belt, Unity was on the road to becoming the first truly next gen game that AC fans wanted. Instead, we get a title that falls flat on its face and easily ends up being the worst AC game in the franchise.

It was the first game to reinvent the franchise since AC3, and with so many good ideas under its belt, Unity was on the road to becoming the first truly next gen game that AC fans wanted. Instead, we get a title that falls flat on its face and easily ends up being the worst AC game in the franchise.

    You play as Arno Dorian (essentially just a rehash of Ezio) who ends up joining the Assassin’s to redeem himself for the deaths of those he feels guilty for. Arno does this by using an unexplained ability to read the thoughts of his targets upon their death, revealing his other targets until he finally finds the one in charge of it all. The story has its entertaining moments and easily one of the most emotionally impactful endings in the franchise thus far, but falls short due to the lack of focus on the French Revolution itself and the lazily done present day storyline.

    The story may be average, but it pales in comparison to the game’s many misfires. The parkour system was remade with good ideas and is the best system for controlling your lateral movement, but with no control over your speed, movement becomes very janky in tight environments which severely weakens the stealth gameplay. While being able to crouch is awesome, Arno’s lacks of fluid movement or responsiveness makes stealth frustrating. Worse is the poorly programmed and inconsistent enemy AI, leading to multiple instances of you getting caught unfairly. Plus, since most enemy layouts are overly packed with guards and snipers, stealth becomes nearly impossible and frustrating.

    Sadly, the only real motivation to use stealth is to avoid the even worse combat. Largely similar to the Batman Arkham games, your only defense in combat is to counter or avoid enemy attacks. Plus, every enemy carries a firearm, so you’ll have to watch out for the symbol to dodge their shots, since the human shield skill from AC3 is now removed for whatever reason. However, the claustrophobic camera largely prevents you from actually being able to see enemy attacks (especially while in interiors), while the crosshair that alerts you to incoming fire fails to appear half the time. Both of these problems almost ruin combat because they make it cheap and unfair rather challenging.

    The sad truth is, every new mechanic is plagued by problems. The upgrade system that allows you to unlock new skills sounds cool until you realize most of them are just standard skills you've had by default in previous games. Arno brings no new skills to the table, and the higher skills he does have take too long to unlock. It’s also frustrating that only story and co-op missions give you the points to unlock them instead of all mission types.

    Character customization is also a cool new addition with a variety of outfits and weapons, but most of the higher level pieces are locked behind annoying prerequisites. These would've been great if they were alternatives to just buying them, but forcing them on you is too restrictive.

    The weapons and outfits are supposed to add replay value, but that is immediately ruined when you find the game only has one save file with no in-game menu that lets you start the story over.

    Another problem is the unnecessary change or removal of abilities that were moving the series forward. You can’t attract enemies to you by whistling, you won’t stay in a hide spot if an enemy sees you enter it, and the double assassination is harder to pull off.

    Annoyingly, Unity retains the mindset of “quantity over quality” in terms of the side content. There’s a ton of stuff to do but it all feels the same. Murder mysteries are a step in the right direction but are only fun to play once. Plus, the checkpoints for most of these missions are awful, since they can cause you to start at the beginning or spawn you way across the map, and sometimes directly in the enemy’s line of sight.

    Co-op is also a letdown because it doesn't make for stealth games to begin with, but the bad stealth mechanics just ensure you’ll get caught regardless of how coordinated your team is. Taking them on solo only makes them ridiculously hard, while the rewards tied to them require multiple playthroughs, making co-op a grind to get through.

    Overall, everything in AC Unity has so many problems, that the few good things like the amazing graphics and presentation are bogged down by them. When Unity performs flawlessly, it becomes the experience I was expecting, but becomes nearly unplayable due to the unnecessary removal of useful mechanics and with every new feature having its own slew of issues. Ultimately, I love Unity for the direction it was taking the franchise, but I hate it because of how poorly executed it all was. It's easily the biggest gaming letdown I've had in a while.    … Expand

    I wanted to be fair. The Assassin's Creed series has proven that it can produce amazing games such as AC: 2, AC: Brotherhood, and AC: Black Flags.

This edition to the Assassin's Creed series takes all of the terrible elements from previous Assassin's Creed games to create a disgusting abomination.

    I started this game excited and ready to jump into the French revolution. After about five hours of playing, I realized that this game is seriously broken. However, it would be a lie to say that the whole game is terrible. There were some element in this game that I hope to see in future Assassin's Creeds.

    Let's start with the few positive aspects of Assassin's Creed: Unity

    Positives:
    Simple side missions to keep the player entertained after finishing the game.
    Customization options for your character.
    The ability to choose your character's weapon.

    Now the myriad of negatives.
    Negatives:
    Glitchy as Ride to Hell: Retribution
    Customization options are limited
    Arno is dislikable
    Elise is a B*TCH
    I non longer care about the war between the assassins and the templars
    The rife combat can not be upgraded in the skills menu
    Combat doesn't work at all since the game is glitchy
    The story about the previous civilization is now weak
    No puzzles
    Forced to use a hidden blade to assassinate your target (this takes away the creativity of the player and how they choose to kill their target)

    (Just to name a few of the negatives) - Metacritic is playing an ad that is cause major lag and I don't have the patients.)

    Conclusion: Don't buy this one.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Following up Black Flag, easily the best game in the Assassin's Creed series, was always going to be a tall order, but Ubisoft seem to have despaired of rising to the challenge, releasing the worst game in the series since its inception with the interesting but painfully repetitive Assassin's Creed. The attempt to diversify free-running to allow one to move down as easily as up is a nice idea, but clumsily executed. You never know if Arno is going to jump to the next roof, make a leap of faith, scale the side of the building he's on, plunge to his death, or simply stumble to a standstill.

    Co-op failed more times than I care to note, which is all the more disappointing because many of the stories behind the co-op missions were more interesting than the predictable main plot. Arno is a forgettable Ezio-light, everyone in revolutionary France is British, and the fact that the Assassin Brotherhood has descended into the same staid, stifling bureaucracy as the Templar Order is basically just glossed over. Of much more importance is the fact that Arno. Is. Angry. He's Ezio light in far too many ways, all of them less interesting than Ezio himself.

    Easily the most disappointing aspect of their failure is the fact that Unity is, in a word, broken. Many times I've been warned about buggy games and had little to no problems with them upon playing. The only exception here was Batman: Arkham Origins, a thoroughly flawed game of huge potential, but one which found its feet after a few patches and now sits proudly next to its predecessors. This may well be the case with AC's first real stab at the next-gen platforms, but right now, I couldn't be moved to care. Unity is a hot mess descended from a pedigree I've come to expect much more from.

    In the opening chapter alone I was hit with no fewer than three massive bugs which forced me to reset my console. Countless times I took aim a soldier from cover, and Arno jumped out when I pulled the trigger, but never actually fired. Cue me getting spotted and finding myself in a desperate fight with every guard in the area.

    The loss of the naval warfare is keenly felt, with the game suffering from a stifling lack of variety, and as one of the apparently very small group of people who had always enjoyed the modern day story as much as the historical, I was also disappointed with how little progress was made on that front. My nameless, faceless character (no doubt deliberately nameless and faceless to indicate that we are all now Abstergo's mind slaves or on the verge of becoming such), never sits up or moves about, but is merely fed remote instructions from Rebecah(sp?) and Shawn, who refer to themselves only as Bishop and Deacon. The discovery of the abundance of Precursor DNA among the Sages has led to a desperate race. Abstergo want to harness this DNA as they believe doing so will lead to the Rosetta Stone of understanding the ancient race, and thus, their technology. The Assassins, naturally, want to stop them. Unfortunately, this desperation doesn't come across very well in a couple of scattered video sequences where nobody actually does anything, and the host migration sequences, while interesting breaks from the main story, are over too quick, and again, don't convey much urgency.

    I've returned my copy; the first time I've ever brought back an Assassin's Creed game. The rest of the series still sits on my shelves, and there's a good chance I'll play them all again. If the main problem of awful mechanics is fixed, Unity could actually wind up being a very good game, though it will never approach the rip-roaring heights of Black Flag. And when it hits the bargain bins, I might ask around to see if the multiple patches made a difference, as those for Arkham Origins did. If so, I'll thumb my nose at Ubisoft in my own special way, and buy it preowned so they don't see a penny. As for future releases, I've sworn never to buy a Ubisoft game upon release again.    … Expand

    The last Assassins Creed that I played was IV, and it lasted like half an hour in my PS4. AC Unity is better than that little piece of junk, but still not a great game. Not even a decent game.

    Despite the several bugs I suffered, I was able to finish it.

Franchise fatigue has most definitely set in, time to leave assassin's creed alone now and concentrate on new ip's like watch dogs.

    The French Revolution was a setting that many fans wanted and for good reason. Sadly, the potential get's squandered away completely, because for the first time in Assassin's Creed, the protagonist never get's to be a part of history himself, it merely serves as a background setting for the largely uninteresting “conflict” between “Ezio" and the templar's. It's not like it was in AC andThe French Revolution was a setting that many fans wanted and for good reason. Sadly, the potential get's squandered away completely, because for the first time in Assassin's Creed, the protagonist never get's to be a part of history himself, it merely serves as a background setting for the largely uninteresting “conflict” between “Ezio" and the templar's. It's not like it was in AC and AC3, where Altaïr was with King Richard on or when Connor was directly involved in the Boston Tea Party and when they signed the Decloration of Independence, he was there himself. They helped shape history, unlike Arno who doesn't have the slightest interest in the revolution. We never really get to interact with some of the most famous historical figures either, like Napoleon Bonaparte, Theroígne Mericourt and Marie Antoniette. Napoleon only makes a brief cameo in the story line and a Paris story, Theroígne only appears during a few Paris stories and some co-op misions and Marie Antoniette ONLY appears in a cutscene for one of those co-ops. We NEVER get to interact directly with her at all.

    Every single character is very forgettable and very one dimensional. It is painfully obvious that they tried to cater to Ezio fans, by creating his french clone. Everything from his pony-tail, his clothes (at first and in the prison) to his behaviour, where he tries to be charismatic and witty in every situation, but instead of being those things, he becomes the exact opposite. Like a true try-hard. While I won’t exactly say I hate him, I very much dislike him, especially as a protagonist. He’s the least skilled and least likable Assassin ever. Even Elise who is otherwise somewhat of a hot chick, only cares about revenge for her father and uses Arno as her lapdog (man that guy is whipped). All of the villain’s and ESPECIALLY - what is supposed to be - the main baddie, completely fail to make us - the gamers - root against them. They simply do not receive enough screen time to make us know who they are, what they stand for, their motivations/goals and simply care for them at all.

    The main story is perhaps my biggest gripe with this entry. It takes heavy inspiration from AC2’s revenge theme, which is already a pretty standard plot in almost every action movie ever. It fails to keep me engaged in it like in previous entries. Even though Black Flag is my least favorite (besides this one), mainly because of it’s uninteresting story - both past and modern day - at least it wasn’t short. If I hadn’t done multiple side quests and co-op missions between the sequences I could’ve been done in less than 10 hours. All the missions get incredibly repetitive after just the 3rd sequence, You KNOW that every sequence will culminate in a pointless assassination of a random templar. All the “twists” like Arno’s dad(s) getting killed and Elise dying was really predictable. The modern day part isn’t even there. Again, you’re a random guy in 1st person, that’s supposed to be “you”, instead this time you never even get to walk around. You briefly interact with a chick assassin named Bishop in some sequences but that’s about it. The MD part is arguably the MOST IMPORTANT aspect of the franchise. Many fans such as myself, keep coming back for more, solely because of the MD conflict between the Assassin’s and Templar’s, yet they’ve removed it completely this time, making this a history sim when it shouldn’t be at all. Ubi’s biggest mistake was killing off Desmond, who I loved immensely. IMO they should just bring him back because this whole 1st person, silent and RANDOM protagonist BS is not working out AT ALL! It seems to me that Ubi is afraid to move forward with the core plot, because then they would likely have to end it in a few years and that’s probably why they started with this pointless “you’re the protagonist” $hit, meaning a huge source of their revenue is removed. So sadly, they milk the hell out of this and completely screw up the lore of this once beloved franchise.

    The few positive things: I actually kinda liked the murder mysteries. I thought they were fun for a little diversity and I like using my brain when it’s something that doesn’t completely fall out of perspective (like the Enigma mysteries where you have to KNOW the entire map like the back of your hand). And the world is beautifully realized, no doubt about that. The huge crowds, the graphics are very good and the architecture is magnificent. Truly makes it feel like a next-gen game. Sadly, that’s all the positive there is to say about this. I simply can’t believe that they used 3 years to develop this and yet it is so unpolished. So much so that it should just have been cancelled completely instead. I should also warn that the controls are very bad, there are still numerous game breaking bugs and the frame-rate issue which causes your PS4 to overheat during menu sequences still exist. Overall, just don't buy this game unless you're a hardcore AC fan like myself.    … Expand

    AC4 was a breath of fresh air. Yes it had the same tired and boring missions and overall poor storyline, but i brought a new piece of gameplay with it. Unity is a massive step backwards in all apsects. Avoid.

    The game has also got a considerable number of new features which, in my opinion, is a healthy addition - these include character customisation and a point/skill levelling system.

    Is it 'unplayable'? No.
    Does it have frame rate issues? Slightly, yet I rarely noticed this in my game.

    I have given this game a '7' for a number of reasons:
    * The game does have some underlying problems (eg. framerate).
    * The story-line is poor, repetitive (in almost all missions the objective is to assassinate someone in a building through stealth/stealing from someone). Optional objectives are not made clear. It also lacked action and unique characters thus making it hard to follow and boring. Arno's bipolar part-gentleman part-joker feels unnatural and false. To an extent Paris also feels like a city within London due to the voice-acting which tends to encompass 'Posh English' and Cockney.
    * Lacks multi-player which is featured in all other Assassin's Creed games.

    In the end, the game is decent and if you are a fan of the series (as I am) then I would suggest buying it. I do not believe the game deserves "4.3" as a user score in any way - this has only been caused by trolls who apparently expected an aeroplane ticket to 18th century Paris. Tough luck.    … Expand

    I will say this in favor of AC Unity. The parkour controls are the best the series has ever had. However every other aspect of the game is a pile of garbage. We'll start with the story.

We'll start with the story. The characters are massive steps backward from those appearing in last year's entry, Black Flag. Now they are simply one-note, with little time to develop on screen. The new assassin, for example, is simply a retread of Ezio, but without any meaningful personality. The story is likewise bland, and compared to Assassin's Creed Rogue, released alongside Unity, it seems like no thought was put into it at all. The present day story is now reduced to a handful of cutscenes, and after the surprisingly enjoyable sections from Black Flag, this is a serious letdown.

    Gameplay wise, there are some redeeming features, like the level design in the assassination missions. The world isn't anything special, with the exception of the large landmarks, which are undeniably impressive, and make for the most engaging gameplay. And, as mentioned above, the new 'controlled descent' feature is something that fans have wanted since the original. However everything, from the parkour, to the stealth, to the combat especially, feels sluggish and unresponsive. When compared to the Arkham franchise or Shadow of Mordor, both of which use similar controls, it's all pretty basic and uninteresting.

    No review of Unity would be complete without mentioning the technical issues. The framerate is bad, hovering at around 20 and dropping often (so much for 'locked at 30fps, huh Ubisoft?). Bugs are also common, and you'll never have a play session without at least one. For example, I have plummeted through the ground into and infinite void, sudden game crashes, characters vanishing and reappearing at random, and had Arno freeze in midair, unable to move, causing me to fail a mission. All of that in a two hour session.

    I think that the worst crime of this game, however, is the contempt that the game shows for the player at every turn. Microtransactions, the worst companion app of all time AND signing into two separate Ubisoft accounts are all needed to access everything in the game. Half of the features aren't available yet, patches are rolling in at an extreme speed and nothing works as intended. While this isn't the worst game of all time, the level of disdain that Ubisoft shows to its customers makes me hate this game more than any other on the market, except maybe The Crew. I would prefer this game to have the 'press x to pay respect' QTE from Call of Duty than have a company try to squeeze money out of me at every turn through a broken and un-fun game, especially one that already cost me $100 AUD. A must-avoid for all fans of the series, stick to Black Flag and Rogue for the meantime.    … Expand

    I bought this game as a history fan fascinated by the French Revolution. The world created (Versailles and Paris) is phenomenal and fully captures the heated atmosphere of the revolution. The visuals for 2014 are exceptional and still looks better than many games in 2018. The story starts strong and Arno (main character) is introduced with an interesting backstory and full of personality. The story and quest design takes a dip around 1/3 of the way in, and all the assassination quests become exactly the same, just lazy and generic writing. The assassins brotherhood itself is pretty pointless, actually restricting Arno and he works much better independently. My main problem with the story is that as someone who loves the history of the Revolution, the story of the game is very Forest Gump; a love story in Paris that just occurs at the same time as the Revolution. Arno never gives his opinions on the revolution and seems to have no interest in anything other than Elise. In comparison to the story and characters of Black Flag, this falls very short.

    The parkour aspect is the best in any AC game i've played to this point and the ascending/descending mechanism is very good. However, it works much better in free roam than in quests when your stealthing or trying to get away from soldiers shooting at you. The transition from walking to running is stupidly awkward and there seem to be inconsistent glitches embedded in the parkour system which ruin it. The combat is diabolical - decent but easy stealth, terrible melee swordplay, with a broken counter system and impossible to fight multiple people at once because whilst fighting one of them, the others just stand back and shoot you. Not very practical... Also the microtransactions hehe not good    … Expand

Arno will do literally everything you don't want him to do, constantly screwing up your plans and getting every single enemy on you. When you inevitably get caught because you can't detach yourself from a sofa or a 2x4 on the ground, you'll be constantly bombarded by enemies that shoot you with pinpoint accuracy from every single direction all at once, and if you try to interrupt them with a sword swing, they'll just fire immediately instead of after 5 seconds. Enemies attack you all at once now so you'll most of the time end up in an endless parry loop until one enemy disables your circle button and forces you to get hit for no reason. If you try to run away from them you'll end up falling victim to the parkour that got you caught in the first place, and you'll attach yourself to a nearby wall and start to climb up with no prompting whatsoever and you'll be hanging there on the wall in convenient gun range and you'll immediately be shot to death by every single guard in Paris and then your lifeless body will fall to the ground and ragdoll all over the place and clip into a wall before falling through the map and then the game will crash and corrupt your save data and then light your PS4 on fire and makes it shoot melted plastic at your face from the disc drive.

    Quite possibly one of the worst games I've ever played. Every possible thing that could be awful, is awful. Combat is actually ridiculous. Stealth is non existent. Missions are unimaginative and ill designed. All in all a terrible game

    El juego está mal optimizado y lleno de bugs q ubi no arregla, la historia es mala y genérica, la jugabilidad es mala, el balanceo es malo, los niveles aburridos y hay miles de micropagos.
    Lo único bueno q puedo decir es que se ve bonito.

    Ебаная баганая хуета. Юбисофт пидорасы, покупают фейковые отзывы по 10 баллов, которых игра точно не заслуживает. Еще и донат добавили в сингл. Вот суки.

    Worst **** assassins creed game. This game for some reason will not let you jump in a where you want him to, let go of walls when you want to or just jump off the wall to another ledge. This game has none of that. I will always get stuck on a building and I am forced to just fast travel somewhere to get unstuck from a build. the assassin talent where you hit "E" to take no damage whenWorst **** assassins creed game.

I die everytime. Just a **** **** gameplay than all the other AC Game. DO NOT BUY!!… Expand

    By far the worst assassins creed to this piont. The Controlls are terrible. When u want to climb down a wall the game does other things 90% of the time. It is nearly impossible to stay undercover and every enemy shoots you down with you having no Chance to attack him. The worst 20 hours of my life. Only played it because I want to play all assassins creed games...

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amo a esta franquicia de videojuegos como ninguna otra, pero este juego me decepcionó bastante. Empezando por la calidad grafica que en comparación con Black Flag deja mucho que desear, la muerte de los Élise no fue bien argumentada, el que Arno traicione la orden de asesinos solo demuestra el poco desarrollo del personaje y que el mismo mate a su maestro solo encadena una secuencia de malas decisiones del director por forzar una identidad al asesino. Le quitan la hoja doble justificando que es parte de la hermandad francesa, pero no justifican el hecho de que hay un retroceso en las armas y el equipo que se emplea, eso sin mencionar las fallas del propio juego por los bugs en cuanto al gameplay. Lo mas notorio para mi fue el hecho de que trataron de resumir la vida de Ezio en un juego, primer punto, ciudad europea, segundo un joven moreno de cabello largo que pierde a su padre y un sujeto carismático loco que conoce cuando por problemas con la ley esta en apuros (en este caso la cárcel, y Ezio a su tio Mario cuando lo buscaba Vieri en Florencia) y después muere, una pelirroja (como Sofia, la esposa de Ezio) de la que se enamora, pero en este caso muere igual que el primer amor de Ezio, los problemas con la hermandad (Ezio no quería ser asesino y busco a Rodrigo por su cuenta en el segundo mientras que Arno los traiciona descaradamente), y a diferencia de la trilogia de Ezio, en el Unity desaprovecharon bastante los personajes históricos hasta parece un mal intento por emular la desaparición de Da Vinci pero ahora con Napoleón Bonaparte, una decepción de juego.… Expand

    O pior jogo de Assassins Creed que já joguei. Em pleno 2022 o jogo esta mal otimizado, trava a todo momento, o boneco trava em todo canto, historia fraquinha e como se nao fosse suficiente eu entrei na DLC sem querer e nao consigo sair mais. Que jogo péssimo pelo amor de Deus, nao sei como fizeram isso.

    An excellent and huge game. The positives are emphasized by detailed world that seems more alive now than ever before.

    Unity is not a bad game, but it certainly doesn’t feel like it advances the series very much, especially for the first title in the series to be a fully next-gen game.

    Bugs really throw Unity under the guillotine. [Jan 2015, p.78]
