    Bugs and frame rate issues are not acceptable at this AAA level. Considering the cost of the game it shows Ubisoft care more for making money than releasing a solid day 1 game.

    The game totally removed annoying repetitive tailing mission to something really interesting. The idea of showing you different appotunity and let you decide which way you should approach the mission was great idea indeed. The crime mystery missions were also good new addition. Gives you this Batman detective mission taste.
    Another element borrowed from batman was the Nostradamus Enigma missions where you start to solve few riddles similar to the ones used to be in Arkham series.
    Now to the bad things. Which are really really bad
    Sadly the game is broke. Too much bugs. Annoying bugs. Game breaking bugs. Companion app sync bugs. Uplay connectivity bugs. Lots of bugs everywhere and almost touch every aspect of the game.
    UbiSoft even asked gamers to disable online features. Can you believe that?! They were too excited about these online features and to workaround few bugs they asked us to disable the online features.
    Also in order to reviel everything on the map you need purchase Helix points in order to unlock time saver packs. Helix points are available on PlayStation Store or XBox Live. and they are not cheap.
    This is just too much. UbiSoft totally ruined the game with all the bugs and microtransactions.

    Let me start off by saying, no game deserves 0 out of 10, if someone put effort into making a game it deserves at least a 1 even if effort is lacking. This game is that lack of effort, I'm sure the story is pretty solid but I cannot get far enough into it before some experience ruining glitch occurs that brings me back to realizing this game isn't an immersive experience its a chore.

This game is that lack of effort, I'm sure the story is pretty solid but I cannot get far enough into it before some experience ruining glitch occurs that brings me back to realizing this game isn't an immersive experience its a chore. I consider myself very open to new ideas and am not quick to write off a game that isn't perfect at launch, but nearly 5 months after release the game still feels extremely clunky and unpolished even after all the updates they through into it. And when I say clunky what I mean is frame rate drop, free running mechanics not working as their supposed to (worse than ac1 imo), a slew of graphical and rendering issues, and walking through NPCs like they are phantoms. I played up to sequence 6 before I said, I'll wait for the patch, so I waited for a few months and still not enjoying the game due to this unpolished product. Just going to look up a plot synopsis online because I can't take another minute of playing this very clunky and unfinished product. Hopefully Ubisoft learns from this experience and doesn't release another sub-par game just to meet a deadline.… Expand

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

There are so many bugs and glitches in the game and it felt like it was running under 30 fps. The story was just boring and it doesn't make any sense at all. Co-op is terrible!! I could never join my friends in a mission and if you join a public match, players could get you killed easily.

    I would say it's one of the worst AC's so far. People saying that the game doesn't have problems are completely lying and I can't believe people are saying they didn't experience any frame drops! It's complete lies. The game is unfinished and you should seriously think twice about buying it. If Ubisoft fix it then fine, but why would anyone want to play a game that runs < 20fps in most areas.

    People just don't want to admit it's issues and that's really sad and is the reason why companies keep releasing unpolished content, so many people will just like anything and look past the genuine problems. I would definitely say that the game is not worth the full price in its current state. It needs to be fixed with a patch.    … Expand

    Let's face it, Assassin's Creed has had it's ups and downs within the series. Last year's AC:Black Flag was a breath of fresh air in a slowly drowning franchise.

    Yet, instead of continuing on that path, Ubisoft has decided to come back to it's roots, releasing AC:Unity, resembling greatly to AC:2. To make it simple.

    Yet, instead of continuing on that path, Ubisoft has decided to come back to it's roots, releasing AC:Unity, resembling greatly to AC:2.

    To make it simple. We've lost the ''new'' that we had found with AC:Black Flag. Yes we have a deeper customization system for armour and weapons, a new Parkour System that helps with descending from higher grounds, but then, we also have many major issues.

    The plot is somewhat boring, but we usually can get passed by that when the gameplay experience compensates.

    The thing is, it doesn't. We have a broken game. A release that should have been delayed for the loyal and new players.

    I've played it on the PS4. The choppy frame rate is horrible. Indoors, I usually drop around 20ish FPS and let's not talk about the outdoors and it's overcrowded roads which kills it.

    I've encountered many bugs with very little game time, where the PC won't respond to the controller's commands, glitches, instant kills, and very sluggish battles where I wasn't able to fight the enemies.

    I've played many of the AC series, yet have never been so disappointed by one (excluding the 1st and original AC)

    Also, let's note that the game is harder than all of the other entries, with far-away check points and with a less powerful PC.

    It breaks the mood. I don't feel all that powerful and had the fantasy of being able to play the previous assassins from earlier entries.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    I played this game in 2020, apparently it was optimistic of me to assume Ubisoft had ironed the kinks out of this game by now as I still faced countless bugs, glitches, and crashes. The story in this game was completely boring and the characters lacked anything memorable. My least favorite game in the series, cannot recommend.

You then pick from a menu of stories which absolutely killed the game for me and made it seem more arcade like as opposed to sandbox like. Ubisoft focused way too much o those cinematics This game is an unfinished game like most have been for ps4. They finally fixed the character jumping off high walls when in free run mode. Finally they have a get down button combo. From there the motions got way more choppy and the game lags in frame rate. Character motion reminds me a lot of how UFC turned out this year where if he character doesn't line up with an object they want to climb or grab you see them slide to the object like moonwalking. I played about 40 mins the first time and got this lack of smooth character play and choppy play about 20 times. I have completely decided to take this game back and will not be doing a full review or play through. After black flag this deserves to be tossed in the trash it was overly hyped like watchdogs and most other ps4 games this season… Expand

    Polished turd. I'll give it a few points just because the artwork is great. I loved AC:Black Flag, but this game is a total wreck. There are a lot of glitches that need to be patched, but I don't imagine there is any patch for the dull gameplay.

    When did Assassin's Creed become so dull, and SO BROKEN? Seriously, it's like companies don't even play test their games any more... Ubi is becoming the new EA which is just so sad, releasing unfinished crap and justifying stupid things like parity/sexism etc. This game is probably improved by some of the stupid bugs, which just shows what a poor effort it is. It does have some nice visuals though

    This whole franchise is just so stale. Chunring out the same game year after year is the height of lazyness.
    AC4 was a breath of fresh air. Yes it had the same tired and boring missions and overall poor storyline, but i brought a new piece of gameplay with it. Unity is a massive step backwards in all apsects. Avoid.

    Combat is a bit better than before but when you have experienced combat in Demon's Souls and such this feels like a 3 year old trying to put a square in a triangle hole.

    Storywise there's nothing worth noting and no real involvement with France's real history which is a shame.

    OK, game is disappointing overall and feels unfinished and rushed down. There are microtransactions in game which is stupid to say the least, even more after Projekt Red (creators of The Witcher games) have announced that all DLC for The Witcher 3 are going to be for FREE. Take note Ubisoft.

Its feels like a return to form of the older games but a mix of the last 2. You feel the medieval history of an old city mixed with the colonial modernism of the time. The visuals are without a doubt absolutely breathtaking. Overall the game feels like a low level assassination mission game. Gone is the larger mythos that has made assassins creed the series we have grown to love and replaced with it is a story of petty vengeance. That is of course a point in all the games but here it is the entire story. There is no character development, the story focusing mainly on Arno. He's a likeable guy but since the entire story is driven by his desire for vengeance and nothing else we never get to know him. We don't see any of the artifacts from the first civilization highlighted very much in the game. In fact those references which were ripe in all the other games are nearly non exsistant in this one.

    The missions are pretty decent because they make you think. You have several points of entry in order to get into the buildings, and have to plot them well. The problem is that you usually have to kill pretty much every enemy available to reach your goal. They also began to feel stale after awhile because the formula is pretty much the same. The targets never really become a part of the storyline because all you ever see is them in Arno's after assassination visions. That leading up to another sore point I have with the game. The after death scene where the main character finds out the motivations of his targets and often apologizes for their death is gone. Replaced with it is Arno looking into their past events from his own eyes. I imagine to some that's a good thing. For me the departure from the format of previous games is just sad to see.

    The modern half of the story is pretty much gone. Besides a few little tidbits here that plays almost no part. You aren't even sure if you are the same character from the last game or an entirely new character this time around. I always enjoyed this half of the game as much as I did the parts where you lived in the past. It was nice to see the tie ins from the past to the present. What you get in this game feels more like a distraction from the main story than anything else. Overall the game has a lot of intentional but just does not deliver.    … Expand

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    The Good
    +Beautiful city
    +Customization

    +Napoleon

    +Nice voice acting in French

    The Bad
    -Combat mechanics are flawed
    -The Characters feel empty even though the story is full of blood thirsty personal vendettas
    -Customization. In previous games you had all the assassin powers, now you need to buy them, also the micro-tranzactions that fuel the in-game currency needed to obtain gear if you don't want to unlock some fancy pants or a sword/pistol.
    -The unlockable content (non-dlc) feels useless, and takes a lot to unlock hence Enigmas
    -Only one city. Compared to other AC franchise games, Unity has only one city and 2 regions (without DLC).

    The Ugly
    -U Play
    -The Companion app. Uses the same formula like any other freemium game on the mobile market, pay to not wait, pay for in-game currency
    -Locked content (U-Play, companion app)
    -the feeling of an unfinished game that fails to deliver what it hyped people about

    I'm disappointed, but not surprised. How much negativity has this game received prior to launch? That alone was a red flag, not a BLACK FLAG!

    Joking aside, the graphics, mission structure, co-op focus, and other implementations make this game a step backwards from AC4. BTW does anyone care about Assassin's Creed Rogue?

    So I'm trying to do a mission, but I couldn't help but notice a giant hole in someone's face. I know video games are hard to make, but these kinds of technical mistakes are something I'd expect from tier 2 studio. Maybe the next Assassin's Creed game (that isn't Rogue) will be more technically refined.

    You can't have a stealth-focused game have a multiplayer focus, it just doesn't work. As demonstrated by Assassin's Creed Unity, the game just feels like it slogs through mission after mission with a lack of cohesion. And does it surprise anyone at this point that the game doesn't look anything like it did at E3? Man, what happened to you Ubisoft?

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

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

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

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

    The fps dips hard and even at the maximum of 30fps it feels very sluggish. The scifi setup is stupid and ruins the immersion often, Movement glitches make sneaking almost impossible.

    I ask that seriously - because I am dumbfounded by how it managed to be released in such a poor way. A smooth game locked at 30fps says Ubisoft? I think not.

    The very first impression I got from this game was one of extreme frustration. There are parts of it when climbing or in large groups of people (and in some places no one at all) where it literally drops to sub 20 and 10 FPS. This makes the game near enough unplayable and certainly not enjoyable. Then a short while later I somehow managed to jump through the floor (??) and ended up having to close and restart the game. Not a good first impression.

    Things did get better, the world while huge and beautiful does look a bit underbaked in sections... don't get me wrong, it can be beautiful - very beautiful - at times, but when you look a bit closer and particularly at the NPC's - you begin to realise it is a bit of a pig wearing make-up. On the NPC front - I really appreciate the vast numbers in certain sections of the game - a huge crowd protesting at the gates of a building or at a public event - these really add a lot to the feeling and character of the game - BUT when you're clambering through the streets and there are dozens and dozens of NPC's popping in and out of frame, getting stuck in things and generally getting in your way when trying to run down a street - this becomes stupidly annoying.

    Finally the story is nothing to write home about, it is a far cry from others in the serious and tended to stray from what I have become used to over the years. And where has abstergo gone?

    All in all - this is another game for current gen that simple has not lived up to the lofty expectations of consumers which has been in part due to our excitement and also what developers tell and promise us.

    My advice - avoid this until / IF Ubisoft fix it.    … Expand

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

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

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

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

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

    TLDR; Pirate this game, Ubisoft literally doesn't deserve anymore for it.
    This game is awful in so many ways, aside from the horrendous launch and all its bugs and performance issues, half the items and equipment is locked behind a smart phone app or co-op missions. Don't have a smart phone? Welp that sucks for you. Don't have a way to play co-op? Again sucks for you. Although

    you can try and do the co-op missions solo good luck because the difficulty is scaled to that of having 4 player doing the mission. Besides all of those problems if you are still interested in trying this game, you may also like to know that the free running system is the worst out of all the games. Tear your hair out as you are trying to hop 1 foot away to a ledge only to jump about 10 feet to a ledge that is no where near wear you wanted to go.. Ubisoft doesn't deserve money for this pile of **** Go out and get a pirated copy, and save your money...    … Expand

    Outstanding work Ubisoft, you've turned in to bigger money grabbers than EA. A completely unfinished game plagued with glitches, nonsensical story/characters all wrapped together in a lovely little feature we all appreciate called micro-transactions. Awful.

    Now , i have a custom 1000$ pc this game runs like **** , here is what i did to try and make the fps better :
    1. Turn down all my visual setting for windows .
    2. Use overdrive on my amd video card. 3. Placed it in my C disk (its a special disk that processes a lot faster , forgot the exact name) 4. Used a game booster , on top of all the visual downgrades. 5. Turned everything , i    Now , i have a custom 1000$ pc this game runs like **** , here is what i did to try and make the fps better :
    1. Turn down all my visual setting for windows .
    2. Use overdrive on my amd video card.
    3. Placed it in my C disk (its a special disk that processes a lot faster , forgot the exact name)
    4. Used a game booster , on top of all the visual downgrades.
    5. Turned everything , i mean EVERYTHING to absolute bare minimum in the game.
    6 . Closed everything else that was on from my pc , even the **** anti-virus.
    The result , NOTHING

    Oh and this is only how it runs!

    The new combat system : PURE **** . Now , let me explain : the fun for me in ac was to try and be stealthy but if i fail it was just as fun to kill all the guards in an area...Now you cant do that , its a serious challenge early on to kill 2-3 guards , the parry system is broken , you need to hit them a lot just cause the game tells you to , you CLEARLY MAKE THE FACE AWAY FROM YOU WHEN YOU PARRY , ANYONE AND I MEAN ANYONE CAN PUSH A SWORD THROW A GUY WHEN HE IS FACING IN THE OTHER DIRECTION.

    Stealth : **** again . Again , you don't understand who can see you , who cant see you etc , you just get a weird ass circle around you and puff , nothing else.

    The initiation in the brotherhood : Some weird voodoo **** , THEY DRUG YOU! Think back to ac brotherhood : a small speech , the universal " Nothing is true , Everything is permitted" a hand symbol and a sendoff by the master assassin , not some bull**** .

    Arno himself : weird as **** background with Elise , never actually explain how Arno knows about Templars , it does explain , slightly about assassins but never bout the Templars. He is kinda nice , in a way , kind of a dick , i like that , but he changes....

    Graphics : tried to turn everything to max , was barely working but i was still able to get a good idea of how they wore : slightly above decent , nothing else...hell you can call them good but they don't live up to the required specs

    Bugs : crap ton of them : running on roofs - you glitch into the **** roof
    running on the streets - you glitch into the **** people
    you synch a viewpoint , you cant get down anymore (happened 2/5 total )
    you walk on the streets - the people start flying

    All in all if ubisoft fixes all and i mean ALL the performance issues , bugs the game may be good...i will stile despise the **** combat system but with a a number of upgrade maybe it will be better .
    I suggest you wait at least 6 months before buying it , this is a release worse then watch dogs and that is saying a lot.    … Expand

    How can the critics give this game such a high score? Not only are these missions cut and paste from old games, but this game is so full of glitches its unbelievable! This group obviously has no knowledge of how to develope on the PS4.

    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]
