    Underrated game. Troubled at launch? Yes, but afterwards it was patched and it is very good

    A stunning setting, enjoyable characters and improved gameplay mechanics make Unity a good if not too impressive return to the classic AC formula after IV, technical problems aside.

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

    Set after the events of AC3 and AC Rogue, Assassin's Creed Unity is a big beautiful buggy mess. There were so much missed opportunities that can be implemented but I guess Ubisoft were greedy to give a smidt. At least, Dead Kings DLC is free though despite a broken love story that feels too depressing to care about.

Unfortunately the thing that immediately stands out in my mind: the controls.

    Ab-so-lutely the worst controls in an AC game, and any platformer / open world game I've ever played in general. Actually so bad I felt myself writhing in pain at points and audibly screeching at the non-responsiveness at times, the inconsistency and unexpected jank, how there's often a delay (by which time you're already screwed), how it demands precise control at times when the control is anything but precise.

    I am soo glad they fixed the controls in later AC games, such as Origins or Odyssey. There were a handful bugs in this fully patched version, but extremely rare in a game full of 'stuff' to do. Sometimes repetitive stuff, sometimes mind-numbing stuff, but there's stuff, and a lot of it. And chests, and cockade collectibles, and a lot of them. Too many of them. You have 250+ collectibles, and thank god you can open all chests. When the game originally released you needed a mobile app to open some chests. Ubisoft saw sense and fixed that at the end of 2014. Also, special mention about all the side-missions, many of which are very samey and repetitive, but some definitely stood out as decent. For example, I found co-op fun. This was probably my favourite side content outside of some of the heists missions and the Rift missions. However the Murder Mystery / Companion / Paris stories stuff? Not so much. Really grindy, and really samey.

    The game also manages getting 00's of NPC on screen at a time, which caused some of the launch issues on fps. Playing it today, I have to hand it to them. The FPS did not stand out to me. The issues with this game are the controls. I pushed through as it's AC, and I hate to not 100% games if I can avoid. Will I ever touch this game again though? Heck no. This one for AC series completionists only.    … Expand

    Eu gostei bastante do Game, agora da pra jogar, já que está com menos bugs.
    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

Si je compare aux autres jeux d'Ubisoft sortis en 2014 (Far Cry 4 ou Watch dogs), Assassin's Creed reste leur meilleure franchise.

    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...

The story is formulaic in parts but it has some interesting ideas and missions that were enjoyable. The multiplayer component is handled in a very meh way, seems more put there just because corporate mandate than truly creative direction, but for a couple of missions wasn't that bad. And in obvious fashion for a Ubisoft game, it has so much content, but a lot of it is repetitive or not worth the time. In conclusion, I enjoyed my time in paris, but is not one that I wanted to prolongue more than move on with the next adventure. If you like the series, give it a go at a low price.… Expand

    Years after its launch, this game is still a broken mess. The parkour system was completely destroyed so it takes about 500 tries just to hop up a two foot ledge.

They made a big deal about being able to run into windows and stuff but they didn't tell everyone that it actually takes 20 minutes to do so because the system is so broken. 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.

    This game is pure trash and successfully killed the Assassin's Creed series single-handedly. Even putting aside the whole broken release fiasco, this game is completely trash even when it's working as intended. It's bad. It's explosively apocalyptically bad and nobody should buy it or any future title in the series until Ubisoft figures out how to make games and not tests of anger and frustration.    … Expand

    2) The parkour controls are horribly frustrating. It's too easy to become stuck on a fence or a ledge especially when trying to go through windows.
    3) The enemy AI borders on brain dead - if you alert the enemy they bum rush your last location and then stand around like idiots before resuming their routines.
    4) There is no way to whistle / attract an enemy from a hidden location or cover.
    5) The there are virtually no horses in the game. None you can ride, none in the streets apart from one for a fast travel location. Think how ridiculous that is for the period.
    6) No moving boats either except for a few on rails. Think how ridiculous that is too.
    7) Anachronisms - the game was lauded for recreating Notre Dame cathedral but medieval spire had been dismantled at the time because it was close to toppling over. I bet much of the architecture in the game reflects later restoration efforts.
    8) Perfunctory skill tree. Not only is it annoyingly bare, it's a pain to navigate through the menu.

It just goes to show that the gear with the best sneak ratings are the ones that are put behind pay walls.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Finally picked this game up to try it after reading that Ubisoft had actually done enough patches that the game was mostly playable without running into grotesque looking NPCs or falling through the Earth. The game itself is indeed playable, I finished the whole story but wow was it a lackluster experience. If you're here looking to be immersed in history like we were during every AC game prior, you're going to be severely disappointed. Arno exists during the French Revolution, yes, but he lives completely apart from it. And it's like he's completely oblivious to the fact that a revolution is even occurring. You'll hear things once and awhile, like the storming of the Bastille (you literally are jumping off the fortress when the people are about to come through), and sometimes see things; King Louis got executed (the closest you got to being near history) and you briefly meet Napoleon (probably the best part of the game albeit too short). You won't walk away from this game feeling as though you learned anything about this piece of history, you'll be lucky if you understand who the names of people that are literally just tossed at you or thrown into your codex actually represent. Indeed, half of them aren't even close to what their real-life counterpart was like.

    Onto gameplay, you may not run into people with missing faces but you sure are going to get your fill of other glitches. You'll find yourself falling off many roofs that in any other game the character would have been grabbing on to stop themselves from falling, not here, the whole grab ability is nonexistent, I mean you're lucky to properly climb a building in some sort of fluid motion, good luck going down in some sort of climbing fashion. Arno cannot climb into a window fluidly, you will be climbing all around that window trying to hit the trigger when it appears. Some of the co-op challenges can be completed on your own, but most of the 5-star ones need other people to play with you, but good luck finding anyone to do those with. A particular co-op mission in which you finish your army training by having to climb and jump to collect flags, you can drop waist deep into the ground and get stuck. People actually crowded around Arno and stared, as though they were mocking the fact that I had apparently found a quicksand pit. The blood effects are sometimes horrifying. Particularly during story missions after you just killed a couple guards and go to talk to the NPC objective, Arno will turn around his whole face just soaked in dark blood, as though he's a mass murderer. It's a terrifying sight to behold. Indeed, one part was with Elise and Arno said something about their previous escapade not having as much blood, in which he once again was drenched in it.

    For the story itself, once you discover that Elise is a Templar, you would think that would play a huge role in the story but it has no gravitas to the story at all. in fact, for the first quarter of the game she says you murdered her father and disappears to god knows where. And when she finally does return, she perfects the line of 'Let's split up.' Every mission the two of you split up and you're once more doing things on your own. If you couldn't figure out how to add meat to the character then why even bother having her? Speaking of having little meat to the character, how about Arno himself? He could've been a fascinating character. The whole Assassin/Templar confliction in regards to his father is murdered by a Templar and his adoptive father is a Templar murdered by a renegade Templar. He's searching for his adoptive father's murderer (which makes him oblivious to the whole French Revolution thing) but it's just like Point A to Point B and it's just shallow. And let's talk about how Arno joined the Assassins, he gets thrown in the Bastille and just happens to meet this guy who's an Assassin and knew Arno's father? And in an undefined amount of time (way too short to be any sort of competent Assassin) after training with a wooden broomstick? you're ready to give your life to the Brotherhood and taking on complicated missions. Also, stare at this wall Arno, look you've got Eagle Vision! (Eagle vision that must now recharge as well) And you know you did your story wrong when upon meeting this guy, Bellec, you instantly know he's gonna turn against you later and you're going to have to kill him. Oh, Arno also joins the Brotherhood by saying he wants revenge for his adoptive father's killer, literally says that's the only reason he's here and later on, the Council says they believe revenge is the only thing on Arno's mind. Uh duh? He straight up told you that? The best part was that Arno was basically just using the Assassin Brotherhood for his own ends.

    I could write a book about how disappointing this game was. The worst part was that it could have been great but Ubisoft doesn't care about great games, they just want as much money as fast as possible with little work.    … Expand

    It's a perfect game to play while listening to a podcast. If you really pay attention, you'll notice that Assassin's Creed Unity has so many things for you to do, but somehow manages to feel incredibly empty.

    But I also can't deny the fact that the game looks pretty good for the year it was released.

    The climbing mechanics especially, are among the best looking in the series, but glitches are still present to this day and the mechanics feel outdated at best even if it's a fairly recent game.

The thing that makes AC games incredible are the accents sure they all speak English when they are not a lot of the times, because of the English talking target audience, but I thought that was very confusing they sounded more English than the English people in Syndicate set in London lol, the gameplay to me wasn't great, sure stealth has had an upgrade but it felt to awkward most of the time, and the biggest con...Yes BUGS there was so many bugs in that game it was frustrating, the story was interesting did feel very AC like more so than Syndicate, but the Bugs and much of the gameplay was a let down for me, but still overall enjoyable.… Expand

    You can't have a stealth-focused game have a multiplayer focus, it just doesn't work.

    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

    I recognize this is a very regional problem that affects just a handful of people, but if they're going for historical accuracy and realism, they should go all in, rather than say 93%.

    Ultimately, between actors and micro-transactions, it was hard for me to enjoy this game and I didn't finish all objectives/trophies as I normally would for a game like this one.    … Expand

The game actually does multiplayer well. some here claim that you can't have a stealth-focused game have a multiplayer focus. Which isn't entirely true. 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

    In Unity we are back we are back on the rooftops, not trees, not masts. Tarzan is off, Ezzio(like) is back on. This time your playground is revolutionary Paris. With Unity, you will be able to enjoy a wonderful rendition of Paris. My wife and I spend the honeymoon there and I was quite excited to see Cluny, Saint Etienne, Saint Eustache du Mont and many others in game. This was made possible due to some noticeably upgraded graphics compared to Black Flag, which was good looking itself. So, a big plus here, because we can stop pretending that graphics don’t matter and admit it is so. Else, we wouldn’t sink thousands of euros in the latest ATI’s and NVidia products. So let’s be honest here and appreciate Unity for what is has to offer in this aspect.
    The story taking place in such a beautifully rendered environment is not top notch, but is not bad either. Short and with a twist. I enjoyed it, but I was left wanting for more.
    As I said, the story is short, but the game has lots to offer in terms of side missions, some of them quite “nouveau” like the CSI investigation missions. There is plenty to do in the game if you are an avid achiever and like 100% game completion.
    The stealth was a bit changed, with the introduction of a line of sight mechanic. You can now sneak past guards noses, if you are crouching behind a table or anything to break their LOS, giving you more freedom to finish a mission stealthily.
    The minus:
    What made the AC franchise really popular was its parkour element. It is with sadness that I announce that after AC, AC2, ACB, ACR, AC3 and ACBF the long and trialed parkour system was overhauled. To the worst. For the sake of innovation. Now, the parkour was reduced to “press a button and …parkour”.
    Such a thing in itself it is not a bad thing, but remember Black Flag, only before Unity, when you were high speeding on the rooftops of Havana and decided to change direction midcourse and assassinate a target of opportunity below you? It was the pinnacle of the previous five games being refined year by year (almost) to get you the bet freedom of movement/action possible. Forget it now. Your character will continue its path, oblivious to your commands to stop, jump and kill. The result of such a command would now randomly be:
    - Keep running on a predefined path.
    - Stop.
    - Stop and immediately go some random direction regardless of the direction you commanded.
    - Run to the nearest ledge and get stuck on it, in plain sight, and be noted by your target.
    - Jump to assassinate, but fell short of your target and enter combat.
    - Jump and assassinate an ally, who has just engaged your intended target.
    In terms of combat, all previous AC has a similar combat system: enter combat, wait to be attacked, perform a counter attack and insta-kill your target (a bit less so in ACBF), then rinse and repeat. This has to be change to something better, to feel combat like and more engaging. The good news is that it has changed in Unity. That is all the good news. The combat was changed to this succession of events:
    - Enter combat.
    - Attack you target.
    - See your target attacking you back.
    - Press the button to parry (same as before but…different. I bet you read that in James Franco’s voice).
    - Even though you parried at the exact time as dutifully instructed by creative director Alex Amancio in his in game linked tutorials, fail to parry and get hit badly, even by the weakest adversaries.
    - Shake your head in disbelief and try to parry again, this time with more care.
    - Realize it is not your timing that fails to parry, that it is the game that doesn’t do it. Despite you doing the exact same thing each time, sometime the game acts, sometimes it doesn’t. Be lucky.
    - Keep trying to parry or dodge. Yes, dodge is an option now, but it is just as well implemented as parry. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.
    - Watch your camera setting itself at an impossible angle and admire the wall that just popped in front of you, and see nothing of the combat around you.
    - As the camera resets itself on a better angle, watch your character getting shot before you could dodge (provided dodge would have worked) because you couldn’t see the enemy targeting you.
    - Get lucky and see the enemy targeting you, rush towards it, try to dodge his bullet, only to see your character climbing a nearby fence/barrel/junk pile and get stuck on it, no matter what gods or devils you invoke to get him down.
    Finally, the game also features a coop multiplayer feature. Good thing, too. The bad thing? The game is 3 years old now and the player base is tiny. You won't have much opportunities to play this Coop in 2017. Get a friend or don't get any hopes for it.
    This is about it.

    Malheureusement Unity a échoué.... il a descendu la barre au plus bas.
    Le système d'évolution du personnage est complètement brisé si vous faites trop de missions secondaires à la fois. Mon perso principal était tellement puissant que j'ai perdu tout intérêt pour les approches furtive qui sont sensés être à l'avant dans cette franchise... j'étais simplement un tank qui avançaient sans danger dans les ennemies faible comparé à mes skills.

    La majorité des mécaniques qui étaient si intéressantes dans black flag ont disparues!
    Il y a tellement de bug visuel apparent que l'immersion est pratiquement impossible.
    Il y a même des walk through break .... j'ai du utiliser des sauvegardes précédentes à mainte reprises parce que l'objectif ne lançais aucune mission ou bien j'étais pris dans des collisions trappes.

    Les 5 points que j'attribue ici dans la review vont à l'équipe audio qui ont fait du bon travail au niveau du sound design. La musique aussi est très intéressante! Un peu lente à changer de lorsqu'elle devait tomber en mode combat mais très bien composé.

    Pour finir, ce assassin va faire en sorte que le prochain qui sortira ne sera pas dans ma liste de pré commande.

    The controls are horrible, they have been completely ruined since Black Flag. The Player slows down constantly when running, sometimes this is because there are people near you, sometimes because you've turned a little, sometimes for no reason. It makes escaping a real pain, and doing any timed mission a nightmare. For some reason enemies no longer known how to climb, so forget running away and climb the nearest building, they'll forget you every time.

    The controls are now sticky, meaning the player grabs every surface they're near even if you're not climbing but have been shot, and it you're running past something he'll grab it, but letting go is a real challenge, sometimes you need to use circle, sometimes only a wall eject let's go, if you're a certain height (not high enough to cause fall damage) you'll never let go, again a real problem for timed missions (good luck with The Tournament mission!).

    The story is terrible. Definitely the least interesting in the series. The first 5 minutes of the intro, where it gives off a strong Ezio vibe is the best part, but after 5 minutes this feeling is gone, and after that i becomes very boring.

    There are four different currencies! Four! Some are fairly redundant such as helix points (you can get about 10000 of these each time you play a helix mission, so just keep replaying it 5-10 times and you've unlimited helix points, no need to buy anything with real cash, despite Ubisoft always nagging you to do so).

    This game is so needlessly over complicated. Enemies now suspect you and only you by default, even in crowds. If you so much as see an enemy in the distance they're already coming towards you or calling for you. The combat system changes have completely made combat a pain in the ass. Enemies can now kill you in one hit. If you so much as stand 10 meters near an enemy or walk past one you will be killed. If you hide in a crowd or hiding place, you will be found. This is in my opinion a ploy to make you buy clothes to build up your stealth and health. But I didn't even know clothes had any value other than appearance, this was never told to me during the game. The only way to play this game without rage quitting is to loot every chest as possible, to buy equipment that increases your stealth and health.

    Your ammo will always be extremely limited no matter far in the game you progress, you need to buy clothes such as gloves to increase ammo. Do so asap, this isn't explained to you at all.

    Sync points! frustrating, need them to be able to lockpick for loot, but cant earn them without lockpicking within co-op missions. If you play this and can't play it co-op then good luck playing it in private as the timers of the missions and the difficulties don't reduce, so you have to do the job of 4 people by yourself. For the most part this isn't a problem but there's about 3-4 missions that really really suck trying to do everything by yourself.

    Can't pick up and hide bodies anymore, can't pick up enemies weapons anymore. The story is boring, all side quests are boring: "solve random mysteries", "find random documents, steal random things, tail random people" extremely dull. In fact the whole french revolution angle was extremely poorly done and not interesting, nor really involving the revolution much. The story maybe mentions the revolution 3 times briefly. It doesnt even bother with french accents, half the people sound English, the other half american. The whole premise of French Revolution does't actually amount to anything.

    There is no real character arc for the main characters. There is no satisfying ending to the arcs or plot. Honestly the entire main game is poor at best. Which is a shame as france is a beautiful place to play and honestly you have more fun exploring and searching for things than doing the story missions.
    Actually the Dead Kings DLC is 100x more interesting and exciting than the main game. The main game has nothing to do with Abstergo, Sages, the First Civilization, nothing to further the plot of the Templars or Assassins, nothing regarding Eden. Whereas the Dead Kings DLC does have some this, plus it resolves in a more interesting ending by far.

    This entire game is skipable. But if you do buy it in a sale, don't bother trying to 100% it as there's no real reward, just loot enough chests and earn enough money to buy good clothes for health, earn sync points early in the game to upgrade skills, and speed through the so called plot, then enjoy Dead Kings DLC.    … 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.

    Assassin's Creed: Unity.
    Good Points:
    The graphics are fantastic (though that comes at a cost) and the city is filled with detail. For being a game about assassins, the Assassin's Creed franchise never had a proper stealth system, until now. It's very fleshed out and very fun. The missions themselves are pretty fun, and the main target assassinations are the most fun to be had in the    Assassin's Creed: Unity.

The missions themselves are pretty fun, and the main target assassinations are the most fun to be had in the entire franchise. The investigation of who commited various murders around the city side quests are actualy very fun, and they have an engaging enough story to hook you on finding out who did it. The costumization of Arno has a lot of depth, Various guns, swords and clothing can be put on him. The coop is really fun, even if it doesn't make a lot of sense, story-wise and I'm unsure of why it has not been implemented on the recent installment.
    Bad Points:
    The game runs terribly, a lot of performance issues and incredible amount of bugs and glitches even with all of its patches. Assassin's Creed III had been a low point in the series, performance-wise, but this is even worse. The main character is terribly uninteresting (Arno) though Elise is the bright spot for sure. Also his entire story is just a mess, with no one knowing why they are even doing what they are doing, and the romance feels completely out of place. The present story aswell is just unnecesary. Assassin's Creed III lest a Juno cliffhanger in the end, but neither Black Flag or Unity cared to move that story forward, making us wonder if that should've ever been put in the story in the first place. Although the game is packed full of content, most of it is just filler. Lots of treasures and feathers mostly (which, yes, were heavily present in previous installments) but this one feels like it puts twice the filler than ever before, just to make its city look dense.
    Woth Adressing:
    Multiplayer doesn't comeback for some odd reason, being replaced by coop (which admitedly is pretty fun), even though it was one of the most unique and fun multiplayers around. There is no horse, and makes exploration slower, though its probably for the best considering it had had clunky controlls in the past (Brotherhood, I'm talking to you).
    Final Score:
    Assassin's Creed Unity is a very mixed bag. It gets a lot of deserved and undeserved criticism. This is game, like Assassin's Creed III, tries to mix up the formula and make innovations such as a whole new stealth system, open assassinations and new types of side activities. However, this game was clearly rushed, and suffers from it story-wise, gameplay-wise and performance-wise. After ditching its present day story and making an uninteresting one in revolutionary Paris, I think it's time for this series to say goodbye.

First off, Ubisoft patched glaring bugs like missing skin and also removed the requirement to check into Uplay to access all of the game's content. These goodwill moves make the game much more playable. Secondly, the UI and in-game map are cluttered with too many in-game collectibles and co-op missions. Coming in a year and a half later, I feel safe in ignoring all of these. I am not going to "platinum" this game, so the collectibles don't matter. No one else plays this game, so co-op doesn't matter. This far from the game's launch, I am totally focused on the main quest (and tackling thieves on the street).

    The game is very, very similar to Assassin's Creed 2. In fact, Assassin's Creed 2 was the last Assassin's Creed I played. The differences between the two are obviously the improved graphics and the story. Unity is gorgeous. Even a year and half later, it is one of the best looking PS4 games. The size of the city and on-screen action of the NPCs is amazing. The story in Unity is not so great. You get to meet a young Napolean. That seems cool. However, while Ezio was running his revenge scheme and learning about the Assassins, Arno is just running a revenge scheme, and keeps revenging long after he gets his revenge. Arno isn't a bad guy, for an assassin. It's just that Ezio was a better character you cared about more. At one point in Unity, Arno fights his mentor. I had zero feels for this fight. The characters didn't matter.

    I'm giving Unity a solid 7. This isn't a terrible score. Unity is playable and fun in a drop a smoke bomb and spam square sort of way. The game looks great. The problem is clearly a lack of focus. Ubisoft was intent on tacking on as many features as possible and connecting to Uplay as much as possible. It's like how even the best Dell computer is sullied by its own crapware. Unity is so burdened by features that a new player can hardly figure out how to equip alternative weapons much less find anything on the in-game map. If you pick this game up for $10 or less, just ignore all of the side crap and focus on the main quest. Also, upgrade your home base early for easy money. Oh, and spam those smoke bombs.    … Expand

    I'll put my conclusion here first. If you're French, or interested in France, you'll probably enjoy all the side missions and little bits of history, historical figures and detailed buildings. I still suggest that you wait 1-2 years between every AC game, otherwise it gets very repetitive, nothing new. Climb, jump, kill, parade, shoot.

I still suggest that you wait 1-2 years between every AC game, otherwise it gets very repetitive, nothing new. Climb, jump, kill, parade, shoot. Nostradamus missions and investigations are a nice alternate gameplay solution, but the franchise is starting to die out.

    I bought this game for 19,99€ in 2016, after reading so many bad reviews. This is now the opinion of a Belgian, interested in French history (we learn it at school), and I think this has an importance on how you feel this game. I'll make it simple, pros and cons. I can understand people rating it 0-1, but there is a chance that you'll enjoy this game, despite all the problems. To compare with Dead Island, the most broken game ever, as long as you have fun, who cares...

    Pros :
    - Once again, learn history through Assassins's Creed, it is accurate, if you're interested in the French revolution, it's just every History teacher's dream.
    - Nostradamus missions, enjoyable to a certain point, you have to guess famous monuments through charades and clues. Works better if you know Paris.
    - Find the murderer missions, not as easy at it looks, once again based on real history.
    - Paris is beautiful, thousands of people in the streets, nice atmosphere. Maybe the game has been fixed a little since the first very bad reviews about graphics, maybe I don't care that much.
    - Multiplayer can be fun, being part of 4 assassins flying like the wind through windows and climbing all over the place is a nice feeling

    Cons:
    - Glitches everywhere, flying people and objects, people glitching through walls, but it doesn't actually messes with the gameplay. I was never stuck anywhere in combat or climibing.
    - Main quest is boring and predictable. That guy killed that guy, let's kill him.. oh wait, he received orders from that guy, let's kill him. Go there, kill everyone, come back.
    - AI is still poor. Walk pass a guy, he sees you, take cover, 10 seconds later he forgets you.. Classic AC.
    - **** Arno climbing on everything when you just want to run through a narrow street, makes you lose missions where you have to stalk someone or be stealthy
    - Multiplayer is laggy as hell sometimes, NAT3 issue
    - Gets repetitive, AC remains AC..    … Expand

    What annoyed me however was the removal of competitive multiplayer in favor of co-op missions that i never bothered to play. For a game that had like 20 minutes of credits worth of people working on it why couldn't they have just reused the modes from previous games but with new maps? Surely they could have spared a few dozen people to do this.

    When you are climbing all the rooftops of paris the gamelay mechanics distinguishes themselves with the best parkour mechanics i´ve ever seen in the assassins creed series and the movements in fast kills (those you perform with your phantom blade) is really good too.OH and you really have to go to the rooftops because the number of npcs in the ground, that does not let you do anything there.
    One thing that i really liked was the rating in the levels and missions and the fact that you have to progress with yourself for progressing in the missions.
    This means that you will have to make quests and secondary missions during the story to earn money to buy armor and weapons and then proceed to the primary missions.
    For that reason I put a big time into the game and that really motivated me to play.

    Firstly, revolutionary Paris is gorgeous and very accurately represented. Sure, the map is like fifty times smaller than the actual city, but major landmarks are where they're supposed to be, and look exactly like what they're supposed to look like. I would know, I grew up right in the heart of Paris. The walls look old and cracked, the streets are filled with the hustle and bustle of hundreds of NPCs with almost no visible graphical slowdown, each district has enough to it to look distinctive, the lighting is absolutely phenomenal, and everything just look jaw-droppingly gorgeous.

    The parkour is... well, it's alright. It does it's job. A few times, I've thrown myself into the black abyss or off a cathedral into absolutely nothing and died horribly. You still get caught on elements you didn't even know were there, like in every other Assassin's Creed game. Sometimes you just can't jump to the next hold for completely arbitrary reasons, just like every game before it. Overall, though, it works pretty well, and being able to tear through building interiors is great.

    Combat is much improved over previous installments. Parrying and dodging work now, and you can get easily overrun by enemies if you don't plan ahead. I did, however, find that smoke grenades are an easy and incredibly efficient way to cheese the combat and turn almost every encounter to your advantage.

    Side quests are very rinse and repeat. Some of the Paris stories are really fun, but most of them are just another variation on "kill him" or "steal this". The option to buy cafes and social clubs to generate more money is neat, and isn't intrusive on the game at all.

    Story is whatever. It's not the best I've ever seen, though it's far from the worst. Average, I suppose, would be the qualifier. Arno is rather uninteresting except for the occasional quip or one liner, the Assassins are presented as a bunch of pricks, and the Templar are equally mean-spirited in their presentation. The only really stand out character, aside from the occasional historical fanservice, is Elise.

    Overall, I would rate this game favorably. It's not the greatest game I've ever played, but it's probably the best Assassin's Creed game that didn't involve pirate ships I've ever played. Pick it up for cheap and see what you've been missing.    … Expand

    Glitchy,boring and unplayable this game is proof that Ubisoft need to re think the assassin's creed franchise and have too re think there strategy and try and maybe one day a game as good as assassins creed 2 will surface but until then Ubisoft will keep on craping out this unoriginal and glitchy garbage.

    Unity is better than Far Cry 4, but that's not saying much. Unity is just as disappointing as FC4, and has all of the same problems: The main character is as interesting as a wall, The story is forgettable and underwhelming, The gameplay is exactly the same as Black Flag. The graphics and world are nice to look at, but that doesn't make up for anything. Also, Unity is chock full ofUnity is better than Far Cry 4, but that's not saying much.

The only reason Unity leaps above FC4 is because of the slightly more interesting story. Don't buy this game, buy FC3 or wait for Syndicate to come out.… Expand

    Ok, i bought this in 2016 despite the bad reviews and i got a free dlc (Dead kings) and a functional game. Well... i quess we should all stop buying games at launch what can i say.
    Anyway the game is a good deal now at around 25 - 30 euros from retailers (physical version) and i 'm having a blast.

    This game was a mess in terms of game engine, launch, graphics errors, multiplayer disaster, no real stealth, and bugs on launch. It might be worth ten bucks if you enjoy the franchise since it is as patched up as it will get. It's still a leaky ship and it is quite repetitive.

    A saga Assassin's Creed pode ter seus defeitos pela repetição e falta de inovação, mas é sempre divertida.

    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]
