    Unlike other AC's,this one i played this year and i was pleasantly surprised.It has good single player campaign with quality missions,map and cutscenes.There are a few repetitive missions,but not really bad.For me,it was a fun expirience and i would reccomend it.

    I wish this game had a better performance at start... The first 6 months it was uplayable and still suffers of drops.. Aside from that the story,the gameplay,the setting, the character and in overall as a game is absolutely Stunning! Loved every single aspect of it...

    I love this game but i never bought it on launch and sadly even with the broken release in 2014 its still the best and most authentic assassins creed game of the generation.

    Unfortunately the Multiplayer is no longer in the game, but there is this Coop, which is really cool to be honest. Besides that the story is really nice packed up and the optic is stunning. In my opinion one of the best AC-Games.

    I got to play Assassin's Creed: Unity when all the bugs were fixed and it was a delight. The story was pretty good, not perfect, but good. Gameplay was also improved a lot. This combat system is just amazing!

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

    Côté histoire, c'est correct sans plus...Arno est un protagoniste pertinent et il serait injuste de le comparer à Ezio Auditore qui met les standards beaucoup trop hauts ! (j'avais donné 10/10 à Assassin's Creed 2)    … Expand

    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

    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.

    An interesting story and time. As we are used to, famous figures from history come by. The only negative thing about this game were the bugs. Fortunately, I was able to look through it to discover everything in this beautiful world with impressive NPC crowds. The world felt really alive. I think this was the last true Assassins game.

    Es buen juego pero la historia es muy corta y tiene muchos bugs, si hubieran hecho mas fluido el parkour y tenido menos bug seria un gran juego ya que en el gameplay es mucho mejor que origins y odissey, este si se siente como un AC aún.

But if we look at the game as a fully updated and corrected game, it is not bad at all.

    Here I must also mention that I played AC Unity on the Playstation 5. The game looks famous and during the whole game I have not encountered the game crashing. It is worth mentioning that Arno got stuck in the texture twice, but it was nothing that would significantly affect my passage through the game.

    The story is decent, there are some clichés in places, but it can also be overlooked. The game also offers a large number of side quests and activities. During the game, we also meet historical figures, led by Napoleon Bonaparte.

    I also like and appreciate the environment of Paris and "jumps" into even more distant history and also the distant future.

    Gameplay is very intuitive and can be learned quickly.
    Overall, I rate the game as 8/10.    … Expand

    Even though this game had a rough start, after many patches and years this has become a pretty solid and stable game with many new game mechanics, such as the new implemented parkour system.
    What also you have to keep in mind is, due to community's reviews and feedback on how the game at start was practically unplayable, Ubisoft decided to give the Dead Kings DLC for free.
    This time    Even though this game had a rough start, after many patches and years this has become a pretty solid and stable game with many new game mechanics, such as the new implemented parkour system.
    What also you have to keep in mind is, due to community's reviews and feedback on how the game at start was practically unplayable, Ubisoft decided to give the Dead Kings DLC for free.

    This time we play as Arno, emmediately after the ending in AC Rogue where Shay Cormac (Templar) assassinates Arno's father. After that, I won't say anything detailed but he becomes an Assassin, in quest for revenge. Almost the whole game you will be in Paris and a little bit in Versailles, all during the France Revolution.

    At first on my perspective this is the last real Assassin's Creed with real stealth mechanics, on every main quest where you have to assassinate someone the game gives you how many entrances, guards, hiding spots, alarm bells you have, so everything needs to be planned before taking out the target. Apart from the main story, which ending wasn't really great, there are many side quest like Paris Stories, Companion Missions (after some time they start to be repetitive: steal from the target, assassinate the target and defend the ally), and the last and the best, Murder Mysteries (as the title says you investigate murders). But if you want a more coop approach you have Co-op Missions and Heists, which can be played privately or with someone.
    Now what this game stands out from others?
    Well, character customisation, with this I mean, you decide which weapons to use from: sword, long weapons, blunt weapons, pistols, rifles, and every single equipment can be customised, better the weapon or equipment, better the overall stats are. Paris is divided into districts in which every district has its own rank, the higher the rank, the harder the enemies.
    What's wrong with the game?
    Even though after time Ubisoft successfully removed almost every issue, the parkour system is new and great, but still rough around the edges and sometimes irritating.

    All in all, now I can say that the game is almost completely stable and I haven't found any game-breaking issues with it. This game has the best stealth mechanics of all AC games so far, the story isn't great but acceptable, side quest gets repetitive after time, but with open-world games this has already become a habit.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Великолепная игра. Свою оценку ставлю исходя из версии на 2020 год с бесплатным дополнением "Павшие короли". Очень жаль, что на старте были проблемы с оптимизацией. Ещё хуже, что их отголоски заметны и сейчас. Именно за это я снимаю 1 балл игре.
    Лично я играю на PS4 PRO с boost mode, игра выдает стабильные 30 fps. Однако это решение не оправдывает разработчиков, потому что 1 - оно не доступно на fat и slim версиях и 2 - дыра в оптимизации затыкается поднятием частоты процессора, что ведёт к перегреву. Без boost mode игра работает нестабильно и неиграбельна.
    Касательно сюжета - лично мне понравилась линия Арно и Элизы, но все касающееся истории Франции - трэш. В сюжете огромное количество исторических ошибок, он ужасно однобокий (тамплиеры подстроили революцию, король и представители знатных сословий - жертвы обстоятельств). Большинству игроков побоку, но удручает отношение Ubisoft к собственной истории.
    Геймдизайн и паркур бесподобны, создававшие Париж художники и дизайнеры совершили чудо. Иногда могут происходить ошибки из-за кривой механики входа в здание (когда персонаж лезет вверх, а не в окно, и наоборот), но это мелочи.
    По поводу квестов - они делятся на две категории: с историей и подай-принеси-убей. Однако лично я получал удовольствие даже от примитивных заданий, потому как каждое из них связано с перемещением по городу, а паркур, как я уже сказал, бесподобен.
    В игре есть донат, абсолютно любой игровой предмет можно купить за очки Helix, а очки - за реальные деньги. Безусловно, это недостаток, и Ubisoft за такое дизреспект. Однако у меня не возникало ситуаций, когда денег остро не хватало. Большинство сюжетных квестов неплохо вознаграждают игрока, особенно в бесплатном дополнении, а некоторые однокнопочные дополнительные задания и вовсе дают деньги за пару минут (за контракт на устранение цели можно получить 3500, просто выстрелив с крыши). Тем не менее, снять 1 балл за донат я обязан.

    Итого получаем 8/10. Игра хороша, особенно по скидке. Напоминаю, игра работает идеально только на PS4 PRO в режиме разгона процессора. Если у вас оригинальная PS4, не советую брать эту игру.    … Expand

    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.

    I've played every main Assassin's creed game (except Rogue) and would consider myself a tired fan of the series.

    ACIV was excellent and I had high hopes for Unity, I was severely disappointed. There are a lot of positive and awesome things this game does, yet a lot of faults exist too. Pros: 1. So much to do (quests, murder mysteries, collect gear, etc) 2. Good quality texture and    I've played every main Assassin's creed game (except Rogue) and would consider myself a tired fan of the series.

    ACIV was excellent and I had high hopes for Unity, I was severely disappointed. There are a lot of positive and awesome things this game does, yet a lot of faults exist too.

    Pros:
    1. So much to do (quests, murder mysteries, collect gear, etc)
    2. Good quality texture and lightning
    3. Decent companion throughout the game (Elise) and main character isn't heritable
    4. Character customization, lot of equipment to choose from
    5. Downward movement mechanic (Overrated though)
    6. Entering buildings all over the map through windows almost seamlessly
    7. Set piece assassinations, really great having to think and plan an assassination
    8. Huge map with excellent locations perfect for set piece assassinations

    Cons
    1. So much to do that none of the side quests offer anything significant. It's overwhelming and clutters your map. They don't tie into the story, don't offer anything other than a mission to do, which is fine, but all it did was trigger OCD for me.
    2. Whatever the textures and lighting were doing, be prepared to have it destroyed by awful framerate
    3. Glitches everywhere
    4. Terrible combat (Due to terrible controls), missing a lot of combat features from previous games that would have helped. Anyone with a gun in group combat is going to raise your blood pressure due to frustration with the dodge ability. Nothing new, missing old, terrible choice.
    5. Controls are awful, it's like your covered in superglue whenever you run. Even wide spaces need careful running as you can easily climb a chair or random wall.
    6. Glitches
    7. Glitches
    8. Skills customization (Most of these aren't even skills, they're just things assassins in previous games do by default like ROLLING after a fall). You miss out on a lot of skills if you don't play coop to get skill points, and they affect your single player missions. Which really sucks because you're not given new abilities and you miss out on old useful ones too.
    9. Boring final boss mission
    10. Story sucks, revenge plot (that's essentially it), no memorable cast at all
    11. Bad controls (Needs to be said twice)
    12. Enemies can be insanely difficult at times due to awful controls, I did not enjoy the combat at all, and I usually love AC combat, in that regard, weird difficulty spikes

    All in all, the people at UBI put effort, and it shows, but they aimed for the stars and failed, rather than delivering a nice cheeseburger, they overcooked a steak to the point of it being barely edible. And you can't blame them, the company demands yearly games (2 this year) with huge scope.

    This series needs to go back to basics, get tighter controls, adopt a less is more approach.

    Worth it for $20, especially since you get dead kings DLC for free.    … Expand

    This is a review of playing Unity AFTER THE 6.5 GB PATCH. In my time playing the game any bugs or glitches were very few and non effective to the actual playing and enjoying the game. But, in my time of multiplayer, I noticed issues of lagging, unable to connect, unable to perform basic attacks, being dropped out, or being the only player showing up for a 4 player co-op mission.

    As for    This is a review of playing Unity AFTER THE 6.5 GB PATCH. In my time playing the game any bugs or glitches were very few and non effective to the actual playing and enjoying the game. But, in my time of multiplayer, I noticed issues of lagging, unable to connect, unable to perform basic attacks, being dropped out, or being the only player showing up for a 4 player co-op mission.

    As for the game, Paris is my new favorite city! It's huge and more alive than any other AC city before it. The people in the crowds have many different personas from arguing with each other, having simple discussions, kissing, holding hands, staring off into the distance, laughing and carrying on with their own lives. Truly impressive city to interact with. Graphically, Paris seems to have a haze to it, although I'm not sure if this was done on purpose, reflecting the artwork, or else just the failure of the PS4 system to render it more crisp. The detail on the city buildings look awesome, yet the character themselves look rather bland until you bring the camera in real close to look at all the detail on the skin and clothing. Much like what I noticed in Dragon Age 3. Sound is just fine. I took advice from some people to use the French language option and use English subtitles, which feels more immersive with the history and location. So I'm not listening to these heavy Scottish and British accents in the middle of the French Revolution.

    Of which I have to say that the French Revolution is one of the best time periods to have as a backdrop in a video game. You can really sense the anger and demand for change in the people of Paris as you move about. The stories play out quite dramatically in regards to the Reign of Terror, the Fall of the Republic and rise of Napoleon. And they are not done in the God-awful way they were in AC III by playing stupid mini-games to enact history's greatest events. Instead, the protagonist is much affected by events as he is trying to carry out his story. But, Arno, the hero of the game, isn't much of a protagonist. He is more of a plot device reacting to the world. This game certainly doesn't match Ezio's story archs in ACII and Brotherhood.

    The gameplay itself still suffers from the wonky combat and movement that has plagued this series since ACIII. Nothing is more hilarious than watching an Assassin try to enter an open window; jumping up, down and all around until he finally goes in. Or, trying to hit the basic attack button, but being too close to a wall and its the same button to hide. Enemies have a field day wacking away at you while you try to figure out if you're going to fight or hide in front of your enemies. Arno has to be the worst fighter in Assassin history. Most times you are stuck in long animations of weapon swings and cannot break of contact to concentrate on multiple enemies. Killing Templars is easy enough with three good strikes; but, guards are much tougher as it takes five good hits to take them out. Get surrounded by three or four guards and you are in trouble while you are very busy blocking and attacking one guard, while another aims his pistol at you taking out half your health with one shot. And speaking of shooting, when a guard or Templar shoots at you, they are very accurate even before the days of rifle barreling. Running into a crowd to avoid getting shot does very little as they are able to place a bullet between your shoulder blades 90% of the time. What is a slap in the face is that Ubisoft seems to have made the combat intentionally difficult so that you can purchase short term upgrades to make you a better fighter. THESE ARE TRANSACTIONS TO PURCHASE ENTICING YOU TO USE REAL MONEY. And I deducted another point for pulling that pay to win **** But, when everything moves smooth with the right timing of your button, the combat and movement is a beautiful site. Too bad this happens less than half the time. Ubisoft should study Shadow of Mordor's combat and movements since they improved upon the AC concept. There was one horrible boss battle that involved horrendous QTE. Being a game were you develope your fighting skills, it's sad that you don't get to use it on your own terms. QTE must GO!!

    That said. I loved jumping into Paris whenever I could. I generally hate multiplayer, but this multiplayer is all about co-op and its fun...when it works. With the patch work they done, this game delivers an enjoyable time    … Expand

Sadly, I should start moving away from the launch window in most games. Now that the game is fixed, the big stuff like club competitions are beginning. It's like Christmas was it's true launch window.

    I would stop just short of saying I love this game. I feel just enough on the surface that I can't dig into Paris like I'm a citizen like I felt for some reason in games like San Andreas or even Final Fantasy VI. It's like it's big, it has many quests, but maybe nothing is done to have the game force or enhance intimacy with some of the beautiful backgrounds. This game is so gorgeous, like L.A. Noire, this is a game that begs to have DLC fill every single nook and cranny of this map, but with interesting full quests with great dialog and interesting outcomes. It's one of the first games since the Ezio trilogy that begs for the yearly release cycle to just stop. Just today, I was in an area that had the most beautiful Apple orchard and a stream running past and the only thing to do near there was get a chest. I killed those group of guys, got the chest, the continued down stream and all I could think as I killed the red coats under the bridge were about the possibilities of stories that could have been told there.

    I want ninja or samurai. I want at least for a Sherlock Holmes type character and a cowboy that don't wear hoods. At least the Sherlock Holmes type guy wouldn't have to kill people with hidden blades. There is so much potential for the series and I don't think they should scale back, they should flat out slow down. If they have to scale down to make it more intimate, that would be okay. The map in Unity is about as twice as big as it needs to be without the dlc, historical context, etc to some of the settings.

    I don't need to tell you about how you can still get stuck doing parkour. Or how the story is starting to get kind of weird that everyone has to join the Assassins. Heck, maybe only every 3 or 4 years a numbered AC should be released and that should be the only game dealing with Assassin and Templar conspiracies. Everyone else will tell you those things. What I'll say is that this is still one of my staple franchises and it was well worth my money, but it won't rock your world or change the way you look at gaming. And despite the hate for Ubisoft right now, this is without a doubt the best looking game of the year and I'm running on AMD hardware so no PCSS and I don't have enough vram to run the highest texture settings at 1440p.    … Expand

    Unity is a good game that deserves mixed reviews. Most of the people giving this game a 10 decided they were going to like it before playing it, and those giving it a 0 are focused on one or two negative aspects or upset that the game isn’t exactly what they wanted it to be.

    Beginning with the negative, let’s look at connectivity issues. The game was plagued with sync issues. This is    Unity is a good game that deserves mixed reviews. Most of the people giving this game a 10 decided they were going to like it before playing it, and those giving it a 0 are focused on one or two negative aspects or upset that the game isn’t exactly what they wanted it to be.

    Beginning with the negative, let’s look at connectivity issues. The game was plagued with sync issues. This is to be expected (not an excuse) when trying to sync a game, Uplay, AC Initiates, and a companion app all at once. This could have benefited from more testing. However, none of this impacts the bulk of the experience. Running the companion on an ultrabook is a great second screen option for the map alone. There are still issues with chests tied to the app and Initiates properly syncing, but again, this is not a deal breaker by any means.

    To be clear, the inclusion of microtransactions to acquire helix credits, which can be used to purchase or upgrade gear, is an obvious cash grab. However, these microtransactions are in NO WAY required to get everything out of the game. Everything you can do with helix credits can be done with normal in-game currency; credits just allow players to save time. And unlike many other games, the normal costs of these items are not so absurdly high that you have to grind for days to get them without buying credits.

    Now for the technical issues. Based on the experience of thousands of players, the game certainly needs better optimization, regardless of system. That said, I experienced few issues on PS4. I experienced stuttering and framerate issues only a handful of times. Pop-ins happen but aren’t that noticeable unless you’re looking for them, and patches are making improvements. Only had one significant glitch thus far, and didn’t prevent progress.

    The biggest issues with this game that really warrant giving it a lower score, are the story and characters. The overall plot is weak at best, the main character (Arno) is forgettable – along with just about all the others; there just isn’t much of a story being told at all. That said, the side missions are good and well presented, and they provide a good sense of the setting. If only the main plot wasn’t so terribly lackluster.

    Now for the good. There is a lot that Unity improves on over past AC games. The parkour (climbing) system has significantly improved. While getting Arno to go where you want still doesn’t always happen, it’s not as frequent and the animations are good. The addition of downward freerun is a step forward for the series. When needing to climb down in a hurry, you no longer have to choose between blindly leaping off a building and slowly dropping from each and every ledge. Simply hold down two buttons and run towards the edge of the building to see Arno skillfully climb down.

    The frustrating follow & listen missions from past games have been overhauled. You no longer have to stay so close to the target and mission areas are not packed to the brim with guards. It feels like much less of “which path do the devs think I should take” and more of “I’m a skilled assassin stalking my prey”.

    In general, all of the missions are much more open-ended. There are lots of ways to accomplish the objective & while there are still preferred ways of doing things in a mission, they are now optional objectives instead of mandatory steps along the way. More than any other game in the series, Unity allows you to be the kind of assassin you want. The murder mysteries, while not really challenging, are a nice change of pace and include good snippets of story. The crowd missions are satisfying and appear with just the right frequency.

    The graphics are impressive. Though not as high quality as Black Flag, this is to be expected given the complexity of the environment. The buildings are meticulously detailed, and the crowds are both large and dynamic. The city feels alive.

    Gear variety is better than previous games, letting you choose the equipment that best suits your playstyle. This is echoed in the skill system, which allows you to prioritize which skills you want to unlock, rather than tying you to a preset sequence of progression. Combat is smooth and enjoyable. Arno feels powerful without making things too easy. Line of sight works the way it should, and the AI is good in terms of NPCs looking for you but not being supernatural about knowing your location.

    In summary, Unity’s gameplay is solid, with lots of improvements that should be included in future AC games. The setting is superbly realized. Many frustrations seen in past games are reduced. Missions are enjoyable, open-ended, and varied. At the same time, any story or characters that would make this a noteworthy addition to the AC saga are completely absent. And while many of the technical issues are being resolved or relatively minor, their abundance at launch created a negative reaction from which this game will probably never recover.    … Expand

You could well skip this game and not have missed a thing; it's filler. The thing is, Ubisoft could've gotten away with that, but the story is only average at best.
    The game is impressive to look at; Paris is easily the most beautiful, immersive, and detailed city in the series. The game's protagonist, Arno, is a charming character, and there are TONS of things to do, it'll make your head hurt if you have a bit of OCD for getting things to 100% at once. The combat and parkour have been changed to accomodate players who want a bit more complexity and challenge, and I say these are very welcome. Animations seem organic; The player's body behaves and reacts accordingly to its surroundings more naturally than ever. From a gameplay standpoint, Unity is one of the best in the series.
    However, one cannot wash off the taste of a bad launch, one cannot shake the feeling that it all feels disconnected, as if the time invested in these characters is pointless and not worth of your time. Assassin's Creed has lost its touch of brilliance in story-telling, it has gone from mouth-opening revelations and cliffhangers to a cliche and generic formula, which is a shame. Last year's Black Flag already suffered of this, however Black Flag's saving grace was its consistency, cohesiveness, and its all-around fun gameplay. Unity feels more like a chore rather than an inviting fun experience. It's the best looking AC game yet, its got solid mechanics, but in the end it's the way it was poorly handled and the way it contributes nothing to the series' story that makes it all feel like a waste of time for the true fans.    … Expand

    The combat would have been a welcome change if the camera weren't so down-right evil and the controls were more responsive but, as it stands, it will not be a rare occurrence for the player to be shot to death by trigger happy enemies that are off screen. The stealth system is half-baked at best - the "cover" system shares the same sticky, unresponsiveness that crops up in the other places of the game. There is no rhyme or reason to when an enemy can see you or not - I've experienced being spotted by an enemy whilst I was crouching behind cover meters away, I've experienced walking up to enemies and them not batting an eye. The changes with the freerunning take some initial getting used to, but even then they don't noticeably improve on the issues familiar to the series.

    The regular mainstays of the series are still here. Big, open world to run around and do parkour feats in; lots of collectibles to find; lots of side-quests; lots of stabbing dudes. The graphics are okay but nothing spectacular, even considering the number of characters that can be on the screen. It's all enough to get caught up in the game for a few dozen hours if you want to take care of everything the game has to offer.

    There are some major technical issue with the game on PS4 and they are the primary reason for the lowered score. The framerate is locked at 30 fps, which doesn't bother me. What does bother me, however, is how ridiculously unstable it is. Anything from turning the camera around to running through a crowd to climbing a building can cause noticeable frame drops. There are also a number of restart-causing bugs that happen regularly. In my time with Unity I've experienced not being able to speak to key NPCs, getting stuck in walls while climbing up buildings, and even falling through the Earth into nothingness. Yes. I've randomly glitched through the ground whilst playing. The problems are present enough that they make the game feel half-baked and rushed. If I were head of Ubisoft QA, I'd probably be committing seppuku because I honestly don't understand how a game can ship out like this.

    That's the major of it. The story is forgettable and skippable, which you'll probably do after the first hour. Ubisoft has abandoned most of the outter-framework story previous games has presented, but oh well.

    Unity can still be a wholly enjoyable enjoyable experience, especially if you're an established fan of the series. The tough part is getting past all of the technical issues that refuse to go away.    … Expand

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

    This game is solid no matter what these fools say. Its fun even tho the combat is still way too easy. Graphics are good missions are fun but the bugs are a major detractor. It looks like your animus was attacked by hackers the open world feels good but animations are badly unpolished. I dont understand the need to make a stealth game co-op. Ac fans dont need multiplayer especially co-op.

    This game is not as bad as everyone says it is, though it may seem so from the start. The game is buggy to be sure, clipping through walls and ghosting through citizens roaming the streets is far from unheard of on the journey of Arno the Assassin.

    However, the big glaring issue seems to be less about these bugs and the lackluster story and more about Ubisoft not putting enough love and    This game is not as bad as everyone says it is, though it may seem so from the start.

    However, the big glaring issue seems to be less about these bugs and the lackluster story and more about Ubisoft not putting enough love and time into their game. This is a game that should have been released in Q1 of next year and not in Q4. Also we have to remember that this is the first time this engine has been used on the new hardware of the PS4 and XBOne, so anyone who didn't expect some issues with the physics needs to recheck their expectations.

    The story was OK, it wasn't terrible, but it creates some nice contrast to the previous AC games which I think is reflected in Rogue, which came out at the same time. Previously there have been clear cut lines between who is good and who is evil, but these two games defy those conventions.

    Character customization is the best addition to this game and the online co-op is pretty fun. The only motivation I had for doing many of the side stories, particularly the "Young Prince" mission and the "Swiss Stash" mission (both of which were frustratingly difficult), was the wads of cash I would be rewarded upon completion. ₣25,000 for a katana so I can slice through enemies with a swiftness... hold on, let me spend an hour methodically assassinating everyone in a building for this ridiculously huge reward.

    Though that does bring me to the combat system. It's trash, they tried to make it better and they just made it frustratingly difficult, riddled with ridiculous one hit kills and an ineffective blocking system. This does promote the use of stealth, though that system is filled with glaring issues as well.

    I don't condemn this game, it's OK, but more than that it is a learning opportunity for the folks at Ubi to make an even better AC game the next time around.

    If I were to rate this game on my 1st 3 hours of play I would have given it a 4 or 5/10 but I came to realize something; AC:Unity is like dating a supermodel with a pretty obvious mental disorder. If you can look past that and see that underneath you have not only a beautiful game but one that does a lot right in spite of itself.

If you can look past that and see that underneath you have not only a beautiful game but one that does a lot right in spite of itself.

    Here is a scenario I want to lay out for you: Two lone assassins overlooking a Parisian square full of dissident citizens meticulously examine the crowd in search of their Templar "mark". Upon discovery of their target they realize the perimeter is littered with various guards, rifleman, and numerous other issues that if they dive in straight on....they will not make it out alive. With no words said the two assassins split up and begin to dissect their adversaries one by one. As their foes fall they instinctively converge on each other again to once again lay eyes on the target Templar in question. His armed escort of 5 guards makes a direct assault very risky indeed, and both assassins know this. Again with no words being spoken the 1st assassin throws a well placed smoke bomb and leaps from his ledge directly onto the mark plunging his blade into his neck. The 2nd assassin immediately follows their lead and executes two guards immediately before they can even react. Each assassin then squares off on the final two guards resulting in a quick decisive victory in combat; they day is theirs and they retreat to the shadows with not one word being spoken between the two of them.

    THIS my friends is what I experienced in my very 1st Co-Op session in AC:Unity..even being a novice assassin by rank in game I am no stranger to the series and neither was my partner who joined my session (total stranger by the way). We did not use voice chat once, there was no hot-dog 1 man army antics. We both had a job to do; we understood what needed to be done, and we executed it to near perfection. I cannot tell you the last time I had this much fun in an AC game. It felt like since AC Brotherhood this was how AC was meant to be played; and when it all goes smoothly it truly does feel like one of the best AC experiences of the series.

    Now imagine all of that but throw in terrible immersion breaking hiccups in framerate, collision detection, and a sometimes unresponsive parkour system and you can see why many folks are crying FOUL at this game. For lack of better phrasing, it is simply a damn shame because if AC:Unity could fix the technical issues it really would be delivering everything it promised. Underneath all the muck and mire of bad coding lays a fantastic game almost screaming to come out.

    AC:Unity is old school AC..It is what made us fall in love with AC in the 1st place while stripping back much of the "fluff" mechanics the series has adopted over the years. It goes back to massive cities, rooftop stalking, and the freedom to take down your mark in whatever way works best for you. In a way it is almost a "reboot" of the series. Many fans have found issue with this, but it does provide a fresher landscape for future AC games to be built on.

    One thing I want to mention is Arno feels much more "human" than previous assassins. This is largely in part due to the new animations in parkour but you feel more like a real person doing parkour than some some sort of Batman-esque superhero making down right impossible leaps. It makes sense in this context because Arno is just coming into his own as an Assassin. It NEVER made any sense for me why in AC:Black Flag Edward suddenly goes from deck hand on a ship to amazingly gifted assassin essentially overnight. It never set well with me and AC:Unity feels more grounded and "real" as a result. Much like the Nolan Batman movies give him a much more "human" style of combat and movement. Combat is similarly more realistic as well. Sure you can still be a bad-ass swordsman but gone are the days where you can kill 20-30 guards one by one in a group. Early on in the game..anything more than 2 guards meant you more than likely have to run. Combat is more methodical and guards will attack at the same time rather than line up to die like they did in previous AC games. I actually find myself saying "oh sh*t" more often in this than I have in any AC game before because there is a real sense of danger that the AC games started shifting from.

    All in all my biggest piece of advice if you are on the fence about this game is to HOLD OFF buying it until Ubisoft fixes many of the major technical issues that plague all versions of the game. The good news is, they have recently said they are "working on it" but make sure you hold off on your purchase till they deliver on that promise.    … Expand

Which wouldn't be to bad if the stealth was actually fun and worked well. The cover system fails to work for you 80% of the time, detection is ridiculous (even with upgrades equipment) and overall it's just not fun!

    Combat, when tackling two or three enemies at a time isn't so bad, though it's not that fun either. But when it comes to anything above that, your most certainly dead! And with nothing left but stealth to rely on, your **** Now I suppose there are moments in which stealth does work, and when it does it's great! But then you have to tackle the issue of finding a suitable route, which is no easy feat!

    When it comes to parkour in Ac Unity, it's overall not to bad. It's actually quite fun most of the time. But it isn't with out it's fair share, or more than rather, of issues. But I'm willing to look over them as they don't both me all that much.

    Story: The story of the Assassin's Creed games is a pivotal part of the franchise, and I believe it's where the games happen to excel.

Secondary characters are underdeveloped, the modern day sections are entirely pointless at this point, and the plot just isn't interesting! Arno however, happens to be one of the story's only interesting features (that's when he's not talking about redemption that is).

    Secondary missions are something fun and new, but not enough for me to forgive the games poor story. At the moment, I can't see a bright future for the story of ac.

    Though it's story background is the French Revolution, it barely has nothing to do with it. The whole story is only a revenge, and all what brotherhood did was just to stay out of the revolution.

As mentioned earlier, I do really like the story, however, I can't help but feel like it's somewhat rushed. I feel as though Elise's death at the end of the game was completely unnecessary. Basically, what that tells me is that her death is meaningless. I mean sure, I understand they wanted a dramatic ending, but I feel like that was the wrong way of approaching it.

The story is as engaging as ever, really well thought out, and the level design is great, especially with all of the open buildings to run through, a first in the series. Coming from Black Flag and IV however, the game seems to have taken a step backwards, with no sailing, and a small condensed map. Also too many collectibles, one look at your map to try and find where the next objective will see you searching endlessly through thousands of icons, from side missions, to chests, to letters. Playing through the game lets you evolve your character into the style that you want, be it a juggernaut with lots of health and a two handed axe, or go for a stealthy character, with a lighter weapon and the ability to blend in and hide from the enemy. This is the main thing that sets the game apart from the others. Although this was not executed nearly as well as it should be, I myself decided to play the game as a stealthy character, being a fan of the earlier hitman games, but you are forced to fight in some sections of the game, and this will have you constantly re-trying levels if you are not a strong aggressive character. Most assassinations in the game however do allow you to approach the objective in any way that you choose, and for this and the story i have scored the game so highly. If you arent a massive fan of the series however, i would give this game a miss, and wait for the game next year. Or even buy rogue for the last gen.… Expand

    I really wish I could score this game higher, it has been one of my favorite franchises. But Unity was so poorly put together it has left a long lasting sour taste in my mouth.

But Unity was so poorly put together it has left a long lasting sour taste in my mouth. It's original problems have largely been fixed; the crashes, the online matching for multi player. But the little things that still ruin the game's experience continue. Mostly, I encounter issues with online. Enemies that won't spawn, but somehow still attack you. It's frustrating to see your character die from attacks you can't even respond to. The character will himself freeze up, failing to respond to attacking enemies. He just stands there holding his sword, but won't run, won't attack, won't shoot. Another continual problem I come across is the NPC's in certain missions, like "Women's March" will freeze up. In this mission you have to escort and defend two allies. The mission won't continue to the next objective until they reach their destination, but they just stop walking and won't move. "The Tournament" is another multi player mission that routinely fails. Multiple enemies are supposed to attack you in the third objective but they're invisible...

    All in all, it's still a good Assassin's Creed game. the entire franchise has had moments where it could have been better. I've actually screamed at the TV when Ezio would leap off a building when I gave the command to run along the roof. But it's always been a great franchise. Unity could continue this trend, if only Ubisoft would fix these constant bugs and glitches. Or, even better, if they had taken the time before release to get it right the first time.    … Expand

I am a gamer who wants to have perfect scores and get all the hidden treasures. Because of this reason Assassin's Creed Unity failed for me after gaming for hours because it dragged me down.

    Obviously they put in all the different kind of collectibles for people like me. But they made it so hard to collect all the things to get to 100% you just get mad. After I found all the possible chests in the game I figured there would be a great reward. Nothing. After finishing all the murder missions (oh how they get on your nerves after a while, so just get a wiki and finish them off quickly) I wasn't left satisfied at all.

    Now Dead Kings if available, but I don't even have the energy to check it out anymore. It's all too much and too big. I hope that they will reduce the size of the game and instead improve on their gameplay and think a bit more about how to satisfy different types of players.

    I wish I just played the story mode and left it there. Bigger isn't always better, and Assassin's Creed Unity proves that.

    + Gorgeous visuals
    + Nice side quests
    + Good story

    After all of the updates, I can finally say Assassin's Creed Unity is a great game. The graphics are beautiful, the story is very interesting and France is a fun place to roam around. The negatives about the game are the loading screens, the vague protagonist, and a bit of the parkour features.

    Here is what is good about Unity:
    -The graphics are great
    -The framerate is finally fixed
    -The story is well done
    -The initiate and gold chests are no longer required to use the companion app
    -The variety of Assassin outfits
    - The fun co-op

    Here are the issues:
    -The parkour elements are awkward (ex. climbing in a window)
    - The loading screens
    - Vague characters
    - Same missions
    - The rain looks terrible compared to Black Flag

    Overall, the game is good. It is worth the money now that patches have been updated to fix the past major issues.    … Expand

    Ok, once you get past the barely functional game and get to play it, its not bad, its actually pretty good. Finally they have a dedicated stealth button, it has a good amount of customization, and its pretty fun.

Also how Unity really makes you plan approaches to missions i think is truly a step forward.

    I didn't experience many glitches or bugs during the Story so i cannot really complain about them. Their are parts of the past games which were removed which i found really sad (for example fist fighting) To me Unity is not the WORST AC game but it isn't the BEST either. I hope that Ubisoft really take good time and dedication with their future titles and not rush just take the time don't rush a game out the door. I'm not saying that Unity was a rushed job i just think it could have been done slightly better if taken the time.    … Expand

The story is awesome, despite the fact that the modern day is almost ignored and it has a lot more to do with assassins, comparing it to black flag. The graphics were absolutely GORGEOUS, the best looking AC game so far. The only drawback, which justifies an 8/10 score is its length. Despite the story being cool, it was too short. I mean it's like 12 sequences with 2-3 memories each. After that you had literally a TON of side quests that got repetitive. They could have worked a little more on that.

    At this point you must be thinking that the stealth is good and guess what: it isn´t: it is super frusterating and unplayable. Story is so so, however it is cliché and it is not the first time that we see a story about revenge, a stupid kid (Arno BTW) and love.
    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.
    At the end of the day, AC unity is a good but disapointing game and a game that you really can have fun with.    … Expand

    This game is not THAT bad. I think it's better than syndicate. If it were not for so many lags I would probably put a greater mark. The story is fine. Arno is now my third favourite assassin character. Paris looked amazing and the feeling of revolution in the air felt quite real.
