    The time period of the game and the variety that the game offers us is not bad. The costume and venue design is beautiful and varied. There are various bugs in the game and these bugs have been fixed through the update.It was nice that the up and down keys were separate while doing the parkour. After a while, the side missions start to become monotonous, but at that point the game is over.

И вот почему.
    Я начал своё знакомство с серией с самой первой игры в 2007 году. Мне понравился сеттинг, но ужасная боевая система заставила меня бросить игру на середине. Assassin’s Creed 2 я запустил и понял, что эта часть будет для меня мертворожденной, так как в игре совершенно не изменили боёвку! А терпеть её из за "шикарного сюжета" я был не в состоянии!. Третья пройдена была полностью, боёвку изменили, но сюжет меня как то не зацепил.
    Дошли до Black Flag. И игра в принципе ничего, но. Меня просто убили морские сражения. Ненавижу всякие покатушки в играх. Короче отстой.
    Rogue мне понравилась больше третьей части. И сюжет запутанный, и боевку, наконец, допилили.
    Но вот вышла Unity (Так же позже вышла Syndicate, но после Unity она выглядела очень бледно во всех отношениях) и как у 99% писишников играть в неё было практически невозможно. Вспомнил про неё только когда купил PS4.
    И ё мае, какая же это прекрасная игра.
    Сюжет меня просто завораживал, сеттинг французской революции, мне очень понравился. Молодой Наполеон, в качестве нпс. К тому же сюжет игры очень тесно связан с Rogue, третьей, а так же Black Flag частями серии.
    Боёвку довели до идеала. Из игры, наконец то, выкинули эти грёбаные морские баталии и заплывы!!!
    Появилась (не только здесь, но всё же) система оружия, одежды со всякими модификациями.
    Стелс. Не очень люблю стелс, так как в 95% случаев в других играх он просто ужасен, но здесь достигнут, на мой взгляд, высший уровень качества всей серии Assassin’s Creed.
    К тому же игра выглядела на PS4 просто великолепно! В отличии от той же Syndicate, которая выглядела на PS4 как какой то порт с PS3, что очень странно!
    Вообще игра прошлась, не смотря на свою большую продолжительность, на одном дыхании!
    Позже вышла Origins, а так же не имеющая никакого отношения к серии Odyssey. Но это игры уже совершенно другого поколения.
    Так что Unity, на мой взгляд, это вершина развития тех самых "старых Assassinов", особенно по сравнению с невзрачной Syndicate!
    Хотя в игре есть кооп. режим, убедительно прошу проходить игру ОДНОМУ! Кто пропустил, мой совет, пройдите даже сейчас. Не пожалеете!!!    … Expand

I am not a fan of the story looking at it as a whole. Too bad the voice acting, character personality and background are great.

    I played Unity in 2020 on PS4Pro. I expected at least 30 FPS but not had them :) Even 5 years after release game is still running about 20-25 FPS even on PS4Pro. So technically it's sort of fail.

They feels like a fresh breeze and open another side of the gameplay.
    I gave it 9 instead of 10 just because :
    - I found clothes and weapon system a bit confusing, It is har to tell how specific armor impacts overall player stats.
    - When doing beat-em-all style of play - some fight animations of player are too long , which results in inablitiy to parry or counter atack.
    - May be its just me , but I had constant feelinmg that Elise character is redundand and can be easily removed from the story. It feels a bit awkward.    … Expand

    Gostei bastante da história, jogabilidade e a pesonalização do Arno. A única coisa que me desagradou foi o negócio dos portais que nos levam a outras partes importantes da história, eu queria ver a história toda a história na Revolução Francesa. Mais o resto tudo me agradou.

    Assassin's Creed Unity could have some technical problems but that didn't prevent me for having an amazing and enjoyable experience in the very detailed map of Paris. Of course the patches made the game more stable but not perfect. The story makes you revisit old historical characters like Napoleone Bonaparte and some very interesting historical events with a unique protagonist, Arno Dorian. Exploring is what I enjoyed the most thanks to a very satisfying parkour system that I considered the most fluent in any other AC game. This game unfortunately suffers from the usual Ubisoft habit to fill the map with an exaggerated quantity of useless collectibles that force you to get them if you want the platinum trophy.    … Expand

    A lot of improvements have been made starting by the first obvious one the graphics, they are gorgeous with a city of Paris that look very alive, with a huge amount of details, lot of interiors, lot of characters on the screen you can easily understand why there was so many issues on the technical side, compared to Unity, Black Flag several years old, and even now after all the patches some minor bugs remain.

    There's also some improvement on the gameplay, climbing is more comfortable with the ability of "free running down" like they call it, the sword fights are more difficult (at least an Assassin's Creed game where you stand very small chance when outnumbered 10 to 1 !) and there is some character customization (unlock the skills you desire most, choose your style of weapon, and then improve your gear all over the game), and of course some co-op missions that are very well done and truly enjoyable when playing with friends, nothing new on the infiltration but this is already quite a big deal and I personally liked those changes.

    On the content side once again the game is very generous with a quite interesting story and characters, tons of collectibles and at least side activities really interesting with their own stories to tell, that's a huge plus for me and it really makes you want to play them all. In total to reach 100% you can expect 50 hours in the game with more than 30 dedicated to the story and side stories, very good value for money.

    Once again my review is based on the game as it is today and its goal is to help those that hesitates to buy it today (or in the future), and in this optic I really advised Unity for all those qualities. Yes the game is pretty mainstream (and already the ninth of the franchise) and still got some bugs but a very effective gameplay, gorgeous visuals, tons of hours of entertainment, isn't that a good video game ?    … Expand

AC Unity continues the trend by being possibly the most beautiful game (and man, it's smooth, no fps problems or glitches at all!) I've ever played!
    I don't understand how people can complain that there is an AC game released every year and that they're repetitive when you have such new and amazingly detailed architecture and full cities being rendered and populated, along with great acting and backstories... The more I play this game, the more it pulls me in.
    I have to admit that initially it took me a while to get into the game, as it nearly always does with AC games, but once you get the hang of it and start improving your character and weapons, it just becomes a blast, the city of Paris is truly your playground! Along with the fast travel ability and new mission types such as murder mysteries and riddles, the game never really feels old nor boring and give you a great variety of tasks to break up the monotony that has plagued other slightly similar games.
    Keep those AC games coming Ubisoft (even though I did wait and buy the game with a great discount!) and we'll keep buying them. I really want the next AC game to be set in WW2 Europe, it would be amazing to have to find and assassinate Hitler in his bunker at the end of the game and lends itself quite well to the templars and assassins and the (crazy) ideas and ideals of the Nazis!    … Expand

    This game brought back many of the key elements to the franchise that old school AC players loved. The brotherhood, the high beautiful landmarks to climb and run all over in a stunning city.

I personally experience no bugs or glitches at all. First game since AC2 that I loved every minute of running around. Paris was gorgeous and it is obvious Ubisoft spent a lot of time researching the city and history. My gripes are more so with the inclusion of the necessary AC companion app to unlock suits and chests, microtransactions (although not needed they are still annoying), and the seemingly non existent modern day storyline. But the historical setting and the characters, Arno and Elise mainly, are my second favorite behind Ezio. Great game, has flaws of course. But any fan of AC needs to play this one.… Expand

And I really have to say I love, I absolutely love this game after it's been patched. The fact that I'm very into the French Revolution helps a lot, but I did enjoy my time with ACU and do think of it as one of the best ones in the franchise. Is it a perfect game? No way, absolutely not.

    Being the first AC on the new generation, I expected to see some flaws. But the overall experience makes up for it in my opinion. The game is gorgeous, the atmosphere, the characters (I really liked Arno, sue me). And the simplified mechanics worked for me as well. Just like the first AC games, we have a city, a huge, beautiful city, as a playground with tons, TONS of stuff to find / do / decipher etc. Both side quests and main quests keep the experience fresh as you climb your way towards becoming an important pillar in the revolution - and the addition of the co-op (although occasionally broken) missions are a breath of fresh air. So, yes, this is a great game, and one that needs to be played and enjoyed.

    Now to the bad stuff. And I concentrate "bad" in one particular thing: Ubisoft's greed. ACU is, by far, the most Assassins Greed ever. And I feel offended, as a gamer and as a consumer, to pay extra dollars to acquire either points or gear or whatever. Basically, they created a system in which we can pay to progress faster. If you don't want to go through all the content in the game (quests, missions, co-op missions) you can just pay your way to the top. This sucks and I really hope no one gave in to this. This must end here. Period.

    And, also, this whole "companion app" thing? Give up, Ubisoft. Nobody got time for that and locking content for those who won't play a smart phone app is lame as hell. It's "free", yeah, but there is also a "premium" version. So my biggest problem with Ubisoft is this attitude.

    Assassins Creed Unity is an incredible game, one that kept me entertained for hours and hours - and for the 1st time I intend to play the extra chapters. Ubisoft just needs to get real and start listening to what consumers are saying about this nefarious DLC culture.    … Expand

The requirement of carefully planned stealth with assassinations is always enjoyable with AC...and AC:U doesn't let down in this respect. Loads of fun so far. Much appreciated is the expansion of range of exploration to the inside of buildings (again, exquisitely detailed), improved character customization/loadout, and added element of challenge that seems to be inherent in combat now. Definitely more difficult! The co-op missions have been frustrating so far, but I've never been a big co-op enthusiast, honestly......definitely wasn't the selling point of this game for me.

    All in all, I'm happy...and having fun. I'd like to see a patch fix all the glitches in one sweep of the sword, but I'm not holding my breath. I"m hoping epic scale games such as this and BF(another game I'm thrilled with in spite of epidemic glitches/code issues) gain facility in optimization with next gen hardware in the future.

It hit out shelves on Friday and its now Sunday, this review is perhaps the only thing I've done other than eat, sleep and play since it's landed. Even though I am a massive fan of the series I try to be objective in what I write.

    All the ingredients are there which make a good AC game. It's graphically very crisp as you'd expect from the series, and the usual array of characters are neatly written into an absorbing and varied set of stories and challenges. The game has taken a step back by having the one main area, Paris, as opposed to splitting down to multiple locations. As yet I haven't visited every area of Paris which gives you an idea of how big it is, and cleverly writing in playable sequences featuring the Eiffell Tower really does show the intention of immersing you in Parisian life.

    Arno is likeable and engrossing where perhaps the protagonist from AC3 and Edward Kenway were not as such. His relationships with the other characters feel very real and I feel genuine emotion between him and Elise which doesn't always come through in a game.

    Those moaning about combat are angry because you can't just mash the buttons in amongst 50 guards and win every time. You have to pick your fights cleverly, and know when you've bitten off more than you can chew. It's unforgiving at times, a fight with four guards will invariably leave Arno in a pool of claret and you back where you started the mission. During some combat it can be tough to see whats going on. If you're close to a wall the camera can obscure you or guards which is a little frustrating.

    I like the stealth and the ghost image which is obviously lifted from Splinter Cell. Arno can't hide behind everything though which is a little frustrating, at times I've hit X button to crouch by a wall and simply stood in plain view - and believe me the A1 isn't forgiving at all. You do soon pick up where and when this is going to occur though.

    There are some bugs. Twice I've started a mission only for me to complete one part of it and nothing else to happen - no further instructions or map points. It's frustrating indeed but it's never happened on the main story and both times the game has carried on - I've been and selected another mission.

    I've occasionally seen NP's walk through each other, and I saw one spawn in a cart of hay but given the thousands I've encountered I can be a little forgiving. The streets are bustling with life, people are everywhere and whilst some complain they slow you down surely that's the idea? The streets of Paris would be bustling, these things would slow you down! The rooftops are the place to be and unlike previous AC's they're not full of guards waiting to shoot you down, meaning movement across the city is very free and easy.

    All in I acknowledge the game needs a little work still, one or two bugs creep in that hamper the game playing experience. At present it isn't the first real next gen only game that has blown me away. I'm still waiting for that (Far Cry 4 maybe), but it is a return to what I believe makes the AC series. Black Flag was very good but it had strayed a little from the Assassins Creed formula. I think that is what makes this series so great - Black Flag was a multiple location sea faring game whilst this is back to one city stealth and lots of side quests.

    It misses a 9 or a 10 because of the bugs, but I don't think the haters understand what makes a good AC game. It's not about button bashing and shooting at ships, it's about stealth, picking your fights and for the first time ever building your character. Its well written, well presented and doubtless with a patch or two being released it'll become well polished. Don't avoid this because twenty or thirty teenagers find it inaccessible - they'll be back on COD and FIFA before the more refined gamer is 30% of the way through this beauty.    … Expand

    A fresh new start
    Assassin’s Creed Unity tells the story of Arno Dorian.
    Some spoilery stuff happens and he becomes an assassin out to avenge.
    While the story may seem familiar at first, I found it to be very original and personal.
    It was refreshing to have a character that feels real rather than a larger than life hero like past assassin’s creed games, it’s just a shame that the character development isn’t there to make the emotions feel as real as Arno does.
    Due to complaints of Assassins Creed 3, ubisoft seem abit afraid to let you see a character grow and evolve.
    The story skips ahead too quickly and doesn’t allow you to dive too deep into character development,
    Arno’s careless and selfish, he has a crush, but it all feels preexisting. The story feels very set up rather than natural and flowing, but that didn’t take away the fact that I still cared about Arno and the outcome of his tale.
    Set up is the ultimate downfall of the games 12 hours campaign.
    While they have the graphics down to make cut scenes and the in game engine look nearly perfect, the flow that previous games had is missing.
    It very rarely feels like the world around you is alive during the main story missions.
    You don’t get to a spot to see things in action, you get there and the action spawns.
    You don’t see it spawn, but your 6th sense can just feel it spawn, you can feel that it waits on you.
    The campaign has an intense emphasis on stealth.
    Like Assassins Creed IV, the campaign here seems to follow the same pattern of mission structure.
    Rather than tailing, this time you do a lot of sneaking and infiltrating.
    Luckily unlike Assassins Creed IV, Unity does a great job of hiding the repetitiveness, every mission though nearly identical objectives always contain different approaches. Never making you feel like you just did this even though you pretty much did.
    I really hope that the dev team is just trying to show off the new stealth mechanics and AI as much as possible, and that this isn’t a structure staple of future games.
    Optional objectives are back, just now disguised as quote unquote challenges and sometimes seem pointless and annoyingly impossible to do, not because they are, but because you feel crippled after being so used to whistling to attract guards and having infinite eagle vision.
    it’s really hard to manipulate the environment in unity compared to past games which by itself I don’t mind that much even though it gets annoying when you are tasked with taking out more than 5 targets, and when optional objectives are thrown in like hiding spot kills is when I really start to mind,
    All you can do to luir is use a cherry bomb, but even then it just alerts guards and thugs, they won’t actually move to the spot to check things out.
    The entire stealth system lacks flow.
    Trying to take cover doesn’t work half of the time, it’s hard to leave cover and stay crouched to prevent detection from the spidy sensed enemies, it’s all just very awkward.
    Assassins Creed Unity does do a wonderful job of pulling you in though.
    I was massively impressed with the opening of Assassins Creed unity.
    I forgot I didn’t live in 18th century France for the first 30 minutes of the game, and then I try to open the first chest I find and POW smacked with play some mission in our companion app, so I take out my 21st century cell phone and lose all immersion instantly.
    Sure I love the idea of unlocking things for my character while I’m on the go, but I don’t want to be smacked with locked chests that force me to use your apps and websites.
    Keyword there is force, I liked the app, it grew on me, but it should be optional.
    Especially when they don’t work half of the time like initiates.
    They should be used as an opportunity to continue your quest away from the game, not force fed if you want to fully clean your map and there is a lot of map cleaning to do which for the first time since Assassin’s Creed 3 I can actually appreciate.
    Collectibles such as chests in Assassins Creed Unity are useful again as there aren’t many ways to make money in the game outside of quests for the first half of the game, they will keep you in Unity’s world for a good 10 plus hours by themselves, finally immersing you in the assassin’s creed universe again unlocking weapons, outfits, and upgrades.
    I went into unity not expecting much, I heard nothing but bad things and I admit when I actually got into the world I absolutely hated it, but I paused for a moment to find why I hated it.
    The game was frustrating to me. The button layout has changed, double assassinations had to be unlocked, eagle vision needed a cool down, I was dying almost instantly when I would get into fights.
    But the truth that I found is that I don’t hate Unity. I hated change, I hated that the comfort and familiarity I was used to was gone.
    This realization turned that hate into appreciation and love.
    It reminded me of playing Assassins Creed Revelations again.
    In my memory, Revelations was the most immersive game I’ve ever played and the hardest Assassins Creed games I ever played, It was also my first. I felt like I had to pick that game apart for it’s best weapons, I had to pick my fights and master it’s combat, this is exactly what Unity was for me.
    It was like playing the series for the first time all over again.
    Assassin’s Creed unity has scrapped the familiar combat system, to make it immersive, rather than swift and satisfying, which some may love and others may hate.
    I personally hated it at first.
    I hated going into a 5 diamond difficulty district and getting killed in 2 to 3 hits when enemies there needed nearly 20 hits to die.
    Combat is now, attack, perry, and doge.
    It’s fun, but not perfect.
    I often found myself not getting credit for perrys and for some reason the developers thought it would be a great idea to get rid of human shields.
    The only way to not get shot now is to roll around in the dirt, and even then it isn’t a guarantee.
    The enemy ai in Unity are ridiculously accurate.
    They are hashtag hacks, aimbot noobs.
    The gun play ruins the combat and makes it feel cheap. Enemies essentially get automated assault rifles, and despite seemingly having endless clips, never have ammo or medicine on them when you loot them which makes combat even more frustrating.
    Money is hard to come by, and you’ll find yourself drinking down medicine like water and emptying your barrel like you’re in a western show down.
    It’s annoying to have to find a shop to refill these vital consumables as they seem to be extremely rare to find on a body which makes no sense, and again money is hard to come by during the first half of the game, so it sucks having to sacrifice upgrades to prevent such quick deaths on medicines to keep you from desyncing. These no scope snipers will hit you 99% of the time, even when you are moving and dancing around like a madman making the customization that much more important. For the first time in Assassins Creed history, you have individual articles of clothing that can boost your health, stealth, melee, and ranged attacks, you luckily don’t have to choose one or the other. As long as you are anonymous you can freely swap clothing to prepare for a specific approach you plan on taking for a mission. If you want to sneak around, max out your stealth and ranged attacks. If you want to go in swords swinging, balance your melee and health, if you aren’t sure, balance all 4. I love the addition of this system, and I love working to unlock everything But even when I upgraded myself to a level 4 out of 5, I found myself the victim of many cheap deaths even in 3 diamond districts. It wasn’t until I finally had all legendary gear that things started to feel fair and balanced to me. Around the city, there are of course collectibles as I mentioned, but a world that almost feels alive. Assassins Creed got the city right in Assassins Creed through Assassin’s Creed Revelations, but from 3 onward something changed. The crowd no longer reacts to you, but rather moves around you. They aren’t calling you names, running up to you or throwing rocks at you as they were in the past, they are having their own conversations and are randomly getting robbed and ganged up on. The crowd immersion has improved in unity since AC3, but hardly. Immersion to me is being noticed when I arrive, not just when I run into someone. Sure that sounds narcissistic, but when you’re the protagonist, pack the narcissism on. It kind of brought me back to the Call of Duty Ghosts demo when they bragged about the fish moving when you got close. This is what Unity’s world feels like. Artificial triggers. Where the city really starts to come alive is with its side content. Other than being the batman of Paris, you can also be the Sherlock Holmes of Paris by solving murder mysteries that pop up on the map as you run around. I really enjoyed my time with these missions. You search for clues with eagle vision and carefully listen to conversations until you believe you’ve gathered enough information to rightfully accuse who you believe the perpetrator is. These murder mysteries were some of my favorite side missions in gaming history. If solving murders isn’t your thing, there are about 70 Paris story missions scattered throughout the map that all tell individual stories, some pretty interesting and crazy. A lot of wild goose chasing, but they are fun to run through and learn about the strange things going on throughout the city, this is where you really get a feel for the revolution going on around you. There are also mind numbing Nostradamus enigmas, that give give clues to locations in the game to find armor pieces. Many will find the difficulty of these riddles frustrating and annoying, but I appreciate the task at hand. Many if not all will have you searching the internet for their meanings. Assassin’s Creed Unity is a game that will last you a while. I know that frustrates a lot of your that just want to pop in the game and have everything by the end of the week with little to no effort, but unity will not allow this, prepare to do some work and research if you want to fully complete this game. Unity of course also features a co-op mode where you can play missions with up to 3 other people or alone. These missions consists of heists and regular missions. All for the most part follow the formula of the main campaign. Choose your approach and get the job done with your friends or randoms and as expected, your pairings will really make or break your experience with co-op. Not everyone takes bonuses and completion as serious as you do. , there are also clubs to join, club mission to complete and solo club missions that will have you running around taking care of the crooks in Paris. All in all, Assassin’s Creed Unity will give you a great 50 to 100 hours of game play easily if you plan on doing everything there is to. While many hype reviews may have been let down which ultimately effected their score, I’m not a hype reviewer and hype didn’t effect mine.

    Regarding bugs, I played the first 4hrs w/o the day one patch. I didn't notice anything beyond the minor crowd outfit changing, and only notice that when walking slowly towards an existing crowd. Not one fall through the floor, not one pop-in character, not one character running in place,... I put on the 1.01 patch, and played for about 6hrs total. I had 2 falls through the floor, a couple character pop ins, a floater, etc not great but I've seen much worse on games that got better grading and had crap content. Then comes along 1.02 patch. I've put in over 20hrs on the 1.02 patch. Haven't seen a pop-in, haven't fallen through the floor, haven't noticed any frame rate dips even with large crowds. The only problems that I've experienced with the 1.02 patch was the online gameplay. Getting lag responses from NPCs (dead/not dead/dead/won't die/right in front of you/across them room...) It would typically only happen late in a game session. Not sure why, seems like things may start to desync late in long game sessions. Was it annoying sure, those few games I experienced the issue. Not all game sessions did I experience the issue. Was it a deal breaker? Not IMO. My goal with the co-op was to play through it enough to get my trophies and be done with them. That said, I actually had a heck of a lot more fun with this cooperative online than I ever did with past competitive online on AC games. Reading through on the 0's and 1's ratings, and I'm guessing the majority of them have never played the game, and have only jumped on the hate bandwagon.    … Expand

I enjoy the flow of the park-our much more than I had in the past, and the amount of extras in the city alone took up many hours of my time, as I found myself going and completing each zone before doing the main story missions. I did find the characters to be underdeveloped, as Arno was a bland but interesting character in it of himself. The missions were typical AC missions with a few new "twist" on some missions. I did enjoy seeing a companionship occur with the Templar and Assassins until it was broken. I also enjoyed the era it was in, and it felt like a city submitting itself to a revolution.
    Sure there is a lot of the same in this game as previous Assassin Creeds, but I enjoyed it, I enjoy the history it included, and the movement and combat seemed a lot more realistic. Arno isn't an unstoppable force as previous assassins, and he had a vendetta to fulfill, which made him seem a bit more human.
    Overall its an Assassin Creed game, it sticks to its formula, but achieves it to a decent degree. Not a bad game, but not the best in the series either.    … Expand

Only CERTAIN missions allow multiplayer (Co-Op missions and Heists in particular, which are about 40% or less of all the game's missions.), and to top that off, stealth focused games CAN have multiplayer, if it is done right. If it's stealth focused the team members need to communicate to work together and not screw it up. The only problems I have with this game, is the lack of open-world interaction (Unity's boils down to a dummed down version of Brotherhood's in a way, only you can't do all the cool, fun stuff. Hide underwater, Throw weapons at enemies, attack civilians, tackle Civilians, ledge tackle thieves, pick up enemies' weapons, etc.). The combat system is very basic itself. It's main problems is there's no way to get past the enemies' defenses. You mostly have to wait and parry endlessly until Arno ACTUALLY hit them after blocking so you can get a hit, which depending on your enemy's attack, might not happen much. The battle system needed improvement, but it works, unlike III's which changed all your counters to push-away counter for no reason whatsoever (why that one was in III is beyond me).
    Nowadays this game is not as glitchy as it used to be and you do definitely have some glitches, but nearly all of them are minor and don't truly **** with your experience too much, as all the huge bugs have been patched, obviously.
    Unity truly stepped up with the parkour aspect, Arno can actually move alot more freely then the past characters (albeit requiring more precision with your control, but nonetheless). Quite a bit of the weapons in the game are spectacularly designed (ie: Flamberge, The Fleur-de-Lys, Sword of Eden, etc.). And the story itself is actually pretty good, not as good as past games, but still. I won't go into full details on it, but unlike other characters *cough*Conner*cough*, Arno actually gets *legasp* development! :oc And back to the co-op part, I find that they should bring back co-op, fora couple of reasons. One, being that it makes the game last a whole ton longer. Think about it, you beat all the Story missions, all the side-missions, all the colelctibles and everything else. What else is there TO DO?? And along comes CO-OP missions and HEISTS. You can bring your friends and HAVE FUN..as an Assassin. Course the only problems the co-op has (aside from some rare glitches, though they can be fixed by leaving the group and re-entering) is that Ubisoft (much like all their other games' online servers) abandon their servers upon creation and quite a few times you can't connect for some reason.
    However, my biggest gripe for the game is this: There's a well-designed sword in the game called the Fleur-de-Lys. well, it's in the game, but it was included in the season's pass, which has been done away with. And in late 2015 was put up on PSN and xboxb live as a free separate download. which is good, but yes the XBOX Live download for it is still there, but the link to the sword's download page on PSN redirects to the Unity page. Where it only has the main 4 add-ons along with the Helix Credits packs. : Thus, sword can't be obtained. Would be averted if they'd just put it in an Initiates Chest or something. :
    And personally, even with the glitches the game still has, I find this game MUCH MORE enjoyable than III and Black Flag (Black Flag was probably their most falsely-advertised game yet, claiming you can go into taverns and recruit crewmates (which is just you walking to the entrance of a tavern and beating up people and they just randomly join you after you punch them in the face enough times), that you can fully-customize your ship (which you can't even change its name, it stays as a dainty wimpy liitle BRIG, and can only add additional armor guns and parts onto it, and that's it. You can't even change it's class of ship. I don't I was expecting to use I don't know...A galleon..? OR a Man'o'war?? Or at least a Frigate.. :), and the worst part of it was that they said you can finally dual wield! (which is just using a singular weapon slot that counts as a paired weapon, much like Dark Souls 3 does), dual wielding means Way of the Samurai 3 style, or Dark Souls 2 style. Where you can put any weapon in either hand and if you have two weapons equipped, they will be dual-wielded.) Syndicate just basically had the **** combat system and moves (ie: filled with knives, brassknuckles and pistols with just knocking people out with hook punches and knees. Syndicate's Frye twins probably wouldn't even last two seconds against CHILDHOOD Ezio :)    … Expand

    -Graphics fall short when atop buildings and having the vista of paris and all it's complexities.

    The pros:
    - Combat is actually harder, the sweet spot for countering is tighter and the animations from enemies are less suggestive, you have to really be on your toes and use your full arsenal.
    - Fresh setting with the best interiors seen in a third person game.
    - Movement is the most fluid out of all of the creed games.
    - Ascend and descend style of free-running which makes far more sense when getting up to those sync points and wanting to come down fast.
    - Removed the factions, they were fluff in the past games with injected unnecessary story, they made the game feel very arcady.
    - Enemies don't follow you across rooftops but have improved chasing skills on the ground, gives a lot more purpose to rooftops.
    - No more instant win with calling assassins out of no where.
    - Coop is AMAZING, think splinter cell chaos theory but with roles for each assassin, I just wish they were harder than they currently are.
    - Customisation is one of the biggest pluses in this game, you have such a huge array of options, head, chest, waist, hands and legs along with all the different types of weapons.
    - Turn off any HUD element (which can be most of them once you get used to the game).

    Wait around a month for all the bugs to smooth out as it appears that most people overly care about this.

    The game has proved itself a true successor in the franchise it has made remarkable improvements when compared to its predecessors.The games graphics are perhaps among the best ones these days with amazing draw distance and stunning lighting affects and has made richly detailed interiors which are finally fully accessible.
    The combat in the game has met with complete redesigning Counter Attack has been completely removed and guards have been made more stronger this i consider a huge improvement because it finally offers a challenge unlike the previous entries honestly speaking back in ACIII I went on one of my.....rampages and after counting all the kills i made it was above 50 and i could still go on and on but by then i got tired same is the case with AC IV in which i killed above 32.But that is not the case here in unity even 4 enemies can give u a very hard time if your'e not focusing similar to the previous entries enemies have classes but even in these classes enemies have levels and with each rising levels it gets harder and you are required to plan your'e tactics even more with the highest ranking being able to fight and dodge just like you and can deal the same or even more damage

    Stealth has also seen improvement finally crouch has been added with a new cover mechanic and this combined with the basic stealth killing techniques in the series it's a wonder and something that actually convinces u to try.
    assassinations are more dynamic and levels are more non-linear u can approach your'e objective in any way like there is no limitations to how u approach your'e target Take my advise go for stealth if you wanna be less frustrated.
    The games AI is amazing it has HUGE crowds who perform different tasks not just the same walking and talking they protest they kill they fight they throw things light fires and support you during fights.

    The free running system has also been redesigned and is now more fluid and natural the Story is also intruiging and the main character Arno is really lively and quite what he should be.The side quests have also been MSSIVELY improved it's no repetitive **** as some recent Ubisoft games but each side mission has its own story which can vary from fetch quests to assassinations to discovering things.These side quests basically represent the many stories that took place during the french revolution.Murder mysteries are also there and are quite an addition

    The game does have its cons though as it greatly suffers from frame rate drops and huge BUGS although i am ready forgive the frame rate drops although they do hurt the experience but the bugs can be MASSIVE so much that they cannot be ignored.
    Co op is also a great addition with levels specifically designed to support teamwork and additional players although you can do them alone but i recommend playing with someone even random people because they can be frustratingly tough if u play alone

    I started this game not long after a trip to Paris and wow, this game recreated Paris so well that I could even compare in-game scenes with pictures I took in the trip.

    I have been a fan of the franchise since brotherhood. Black Flag was so much fun that I initially wanted to purchase this game as soon as it was released. However, the overwhelmingly negative reviews here on metacritic actually stopped me from getting it. After a few updates were released I convinced myself to get it. No regrets. I am giving a 10 to balance the unjustly given 0 ratings ubi-haters gave.    … Expand

    AC Unity is by far the best Assassin's Creed, I got it quite late so I never experienced all these problems with Frame Rate Drop or bad graphics, my game ran fine and played fine, no Assassin's Creed can compare to this one, Unity's game play is unbelievable, it's graphics are breathtaking, and whilst being predictable, the story was immersive and excellent, I loved every second of Unity,AC Unity is by far the best Assassin's Creed, I got it quite late so I never experienced all these problems with Frame Rate Drop or bad graphics, my game ran fine and played fine, no Assassin's Creed can compare to this one, Unity's game play is unbelievable, it's graphics are breathtaking, and whilst being predictable, the story was immersive and excellent, I loved every second of Unity, I do not understand why people dislike it so much, I have been with AC since the start and this is currently my favorite.… Expand

    Godly input, bad output. For me, I didn't really get any glitches besides the occasional getting stuck and having the Assassin not go where you want (like all Assassin's Creeds do.) But the thing I noticed the most when I went back to it was the awful, awful lag. The story was great, Arno was slightly forgettable, Me and my dad enjoyed it a lot.

    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.

    I think this game was actually pretty good. Over 1000 negative reviews is just weird. Doubt these people even like Assassin's Creed.

    Довольно красивая игра, хороший арсенал,снаряжения, сеттинг, обилие активностей. Но довольно проходной сюжет к сожалению, но на разок не плохо. Да и к паркуру нужно привкинуть чтоб герой делал именно то что ты хочешь.

    Brilliant game 10/10, FPS and glitches are getting patched. The story is diverse and co-op is incredible. If you love the AC franchise, you'll find this game amazing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To start off I'll talk about the stability issues of this game. If you are about to cry out that the game doesn't deserve a 10 and that I simply played this after the third patch, you would be wrong. I played this on launch day and I have never experienced a crash or freeze, a fall through the world or the disappearance of a character's face nor have I experienced weapons that won't work or hay stacks that keep you inside. Sure there were glitches, but most of them were funny body movements or crazy, but cool combat finishers. Nothing game breaking or immersion destroying and all stuff I had seen in previous entries. So let's get onto the main game...

    Quite simply, this is my game of the year for 2014 and it's easily one of the best gaming experiences I have ever had. This is the reason I bought a PS4. The graphics engine is stunning and I made a beeline for the first viewpoint as soon as I got into the world. I put down the controller and just smiled at how rich this world was and how great the cities of the new gen would be. Everything is presented in a beautiful fashion, there were no serious frame rate drops and the animation system is groundbreaking. The character models are realistic as well, but it's the architecturally revolutionary Paris that is the real star of the game. From the big landmarks like the Notre Dame, to the details in the smoke, to the pattern on a small kettlepot, this game is the most visually stunning experience in all of gaming.

    What's an Assassin's Creed game without a good story? Unity provides an addictive narrative and likeable characters. You play as Arno Victor Dorian- he was adopted by his Templar friend's father after the death of his Assassin father, yet he has no knowledge of the secret wars that are ongoing. After the death of his second father and his subsequent framing, he meets Pierre Bellec- an assassin who is willing to train him. Breaking out of the Bastille, Arno sets out for revenge and redemption. The story hits a lot of the same notes as that of the second game and I didn't mind the familiar feeling. However, it does something different from any other Assassin's Creed game- it provides a believable and sympathetic love story that uses Arno and Elise in a Romeo and Juliet "doomed affair" style. These leads have great chemistry and the conclusion doesn't provide any happy endings. In short, this story is one of the best in the franchise's history and is easily better than the plots of the last two games.

    The 20 hour or so story is backed up by over 30 hours of enjoyable and varied side content. Let's start with the co-op. There are multiple missions to tackle that can be played with a usual number of 1 friend. However, the best ones allow you to join up with three mates for some really fun times. I'll admit that I haven't even touched the online co-op, but I have played through about 4 of the missions and they are really fun. They normally have an overarching objective, but they're longer than campaign missions and reward you with random gear. The other set of co-op missions are the Heists and they task you with sneaking into a location, stealing an artifact and escaping. Every time you are detected, the reward goes down. Die and it starts all over again. I have played two and each one is varied, challenging and fun all at the same time. They also encourage replayability with randomised guard paths and rewards.

    Along with the co-op, there are Paris Stories side missions, Social Club tasks (which remind me of the assassination contracts), difficult Nostradamus riddles, murder mysteries, chests with rewarding contents, viewpoints, cockades, artifacts, renovations... I could go on and on and on, but this character limit prevents me. All I can say is that I won't stop until I have 100% sync (I'm at 62%).

    Now, finally onto the gameplay. The parkour system is completely renovated and just feels right. Sure there are the usual issues with entering windows here and there (1/4 of buildings now offer seamless exploration), but the new animation system is awesome and the Controlled Descent options are smart and easy to pull off. I love the way Arno jumps and climbs and it's almost like he's flying.

    Then there is the combat. It's a lot harder now and you are encouraged to use all your tools. A new difficulty system determines the effectiveness of your gear and it is good to always check out your ranking to se if you can take on more than 4 guys with a rating of 3 out of 5. Stealth is also much better and there is now a crouch better. Enemies also have wider detection radiuses and the new Phantom Blade is very cool in many ways.

    Customization is the real big feature of the game though, with hundreds of weapons and gear designs and thousands of combinations. Everything has its perks and there are now skill points which can be spent on upgrades like the double assassination.

    I could have typed so much more, but I don't have enough space. I'll say- best AC ever!    … Expand

Partiamo dal sistema di movimento: è stata introdotta la discesa rapida (molto utile a mio avviso) e per scalare le abitazioni è ora necessario premere R2+X (nel caso della Playstation), proprio come nei primi capitoli, prima dell'avvento di AC3. Il sistema di crescita/personalizzazione del personaggio è molto interessante e invoglia il giocatore a spendere tempo e passione per rendere Arno più potente. E' stata introdotta anche la Lama Fantasma, utile per attacchi a lunga distanza stealth, ma che sacrifica una lama celata (il che provoca un po' di perplessità). Il sistema di combattimento è più complesso che in passato (ciò è dovuto anche alla poca fluidità dei combattimenti), e non è affatto saggio buttarsi nella mischia di nemici, perché significherebbe andare contro a morte certa (a meno che non abbiate una grossa scorta di medicine). La mappa di gioco è enorme e piena di missioni secondarie: scrigni, collezionabili, missioni in cooperativa (una delle più grandi e, sopratutto, gradite novità del gioco), missioni della confraternita, Enigmi di Nostradamus e molto altro.
    Riassumendo il tutto: questo Assassin's Creed Unity non è certo esente da difetti, ma è sicuramente uno dei migliori capitoli della saga, al contrario di come lasciano pensare alcune recensioni fin troppo pesanti.    … Expand

I can say that about a lot of the new mechanics with this game. So overall, this defintely deserved higher scores by the audience.

    Throughout the game, there was hardly any frame rate issues with a few rare ones here or there. The story is great and I didn't experience any major glitches during my play through. Probably my third favourite assassins creed game so far.

Ill be honest ive owned AC 1,2,3, Black Flag and now Unity and i must admit Unity is tied for the best along with AC 2....amazing game, looks great plays great and there is so much to do...personally the murder mysteries are my favorite addition to the game! must buy but like i said no game is perfect so ill give this a 9.

    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.
