    everybody else has said what i want to say pretty much but i'll give my two cents. the crowds are huge and that makes the game better than previous ones. the gameplay is definitely the best in all the series. graphics... best graphics i've ever seen! okay that's all i got!

    So far I'm enjoying this title more than any other I've played this year. The combat, graphics, controls, story and everything else are exactly what I was hoping for when I pre-ordered the game. 10/10.

    This is the most graphically gorgeous AC game I've ever played. I'm pretty much in awe. I'm very grateful to have had the opportunity to play this freaking amazing, amazing game.

    The cons:
    - The framerate is choppy at times (20fps on very rare occasions, feels much more like 30 most of the time) but not unplayable at any stage, most likely down to the amount of characters on screen at once, hopefully this gets fixed soon.
    - Theres quite a few funny glitches and bugs and few that get you stuck on collision and on a few occasions fell through the world, fast travel    The cons:

    - Theres quite a few funny glitches and bugs and few that get you stuck on collision and on a few occasions fell through the world, fast travel usually fixes it.
    -Graphics fall short when atop buildings and having the vista of paris and all it's complexities.

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

    The verdict:
    Wait around a month for all the bugs to smooth out as it appears that most people overly care about this.
    This game is a MUST HAVE in the assassin's creed franchise, it's the most thought out and best designed one since 2. (I prefer it to 2).    … Expand

It's the closest thing I've ever felt to time travel.

    I have a feeling that a number of the complaints of poor performance are coming from people who haven't even played the game or just haven't applied the day 1 patch.

    Assassin's Creed Unity is a clear step forward for the IP with an impressive level design. The Paris of the French Revolution is an ideal setting, and Ubisoft's teams have put up an amazing work with harder assassinations, tougher fights and, of course, the co-op mode. A new breath in the series.

    Ok, first off, Unity is NOT poorly optimized. The game scales well with more powerful hardware and doesn't suffer from unreasonable CPU bottlenecking. The game engine is properly multithreaded and scales well across multi-core processors.

The game scales well with more powerful hardware and doesn't suffer from unreasonable CPU bottlenecking. The game engine is properly multithreaded and scales well across multi-core processors.

    The game IS demanding, but not ridiculously so. For example, it is only marginally more demanding than Shadow of Mordor for me, but it looks vastly better. In both games I am unnable to achieve 60fps with my GTX 770 and i5 2500k, so I cap them both at 30fps. The difference is, Shadow of Mordor has micro-stutter due to poor frame-pacing or perhaps asset loading. Unity, on the other hand, is perfectly smooth at 30fps, with no micro-stutter to mar the experience. And the ultra textures in Shadow of Mordor have heavier VRAM requirements, but don't look nearly as good as the ultra textures in Unity.

    People need to keep in mind that Unity is one of the first graphically advanced current gen games. It makes no sense to compare Unity to last gen games and cross-gen games that don't look anywhere near as good. Unity runs well, given how advanced its visuals and world simulations are.

    Go look up benchmarks for Dragon Age Inquisition; the performance is fairly similar to Unity, but I can tell you from first hand experience seeing the game at PAX Prime that it doesn't look as good as Unity.

    Here are my recommendations for those complaining of poor performance:

    First of all, if you have an average PC and expect to run advanced new games at 60fps, you're dreaming. Go upgrade your PC or just quit gaming. Game requirements are only going to get heavier now that truly "next gen" games are starting to come out.

    If you DO have a decent PC, first you should know that FXAA actually gives the best image quality in this game, so there is no reason to use the more demanding forms of anti-aliasing in this game.

    Second of all, if you can't maintain 60fps most of the time and your framerate is swinging up and down, just cap it at 30fps. It will actually result in a perceptively smoother gameplay experience. 30fps isn't as good as 60fps, but it's better than a highly variable framerate. The proper way to cap at 30fps is to use Nvidia Inspector and select the "half refresh rate vsync" option, with Vsync set to "standard" in the setting above that. This will give you a properly vsynced 30fps free of screen tearing or micro-stuttering. (If you have an AMD card use RadeonPro and the "double vsync" option).

    Also, by using external vsync and turning off the in-game vsync option you will actually get higher framerates. Make sure you are using the game ready drivers for Unity as well.

    If you are getting decent framerates, but still getting stuttering it could be because you have too little VRAM. Turn down the texture quality to "high". Using FXAA or injected SMAA and avoiding 4x MSAA or TXAA will also help with VRAM issues.

    Unity runs very well on my PC considering how amazing it looks. And I am enjoying the game immensely. The story is the best yet in the series, in my opinion. I'm drawn in and legitimately want to know what happens next. It doesn't hurt that the cutscenes are so gobsmackingly beautiful.

    The gameplay is also the best in the series for me. The combat is harder and requires more skill and focus. I've actually died quite a few times in this game, which generally doesn't happen much to me in other AC games.

    The traversal is generally much smoother and more refined this time. The animations are incredibly detailed and varied and there is a greater sense of freedom of movement. Sometimes when using the controlled descent mechanics your character will kind of float unnaturally sideways as he is descending, but that is the only ♥♥♥♥le I have with the new mechanics. Being able to climb up, over and around things so fluidly makes me feel like spiderman. I also like the fact that you can now enter so many buildings and use them as pathways while traversing through the city.

    Stealth has been improved dramatically. Finally we can crouch and take cover behind objects, which opens up all kinds of neat gameplay scenarios in the game. It's finally a proper stealth game. There is also a "last known position" mechanic, similar to that found in the recent Splinter Cell games, and it works well and allows you to use it to your advantage to attract and slip away from enemies.

    The mission structure is a lot better and more flexible than in previous entries. You are given a certain mission, but it can dynamically change this time. You aren't stuck completing it only one predefined way. There is also a much greater variety of different side missions you can tackle in the game. It all makes the game so addictive.

    As far as the visuals, all I can say is 'wow'. I can say without any hesitation nor hint of exaggeration that this is the best looking game I have played on PC. The lighting, shading and materials all look stunning. It's filled with detailed textures, volumetric smoke and fog, extremely detailed character models, the most realistic hair I've seen in a game, lots of neat shader work, and a host of advanced post effects.

    So far it is easily the best game in the series for me and one of the best games I've played this year.    … Expand

    3) the amount of people who put on the streets take their game to a level that you know even if there's a revolution about to happen
    4) the interiors of houses or shops are fantastic. Works of art in parts, Golden details, clocks, marble staircases and so on. I've never seen anything like that in a game.
    5) The supporting characters are extremely varied. They range from workers performing their activity, people carrying crosses, or other people. People killed in Barrow. This leads us to think what really was going on at that time.
    6) the amount of gameplay options is incredible. You have several ways of playing. Whether in research, whether in the cracks, either in historical discovery of riddles, is in hot pursuit, is to collect points, is to find and open objects, is to open and manage a new business and so forth. The game not to have options that challenge your ability to think and, for me, this is real game. Not to mention that the game brings a very interesting cultural contribution.

    There are several other aspects that I could say here.
    I will give a few bugs that has happened 9.5 in others I hadn't seen, but given the ambition of Ubisoft and the quality of the game, I'm going to give you this note. The game deserves 9.5 for sure.    … Expand

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I traded them in both, after only a few hours. Why have I told you all this? It's because I want you to know I'm being honest.
    This game so far, and I have completed almost %35 of the game, reminds me of the ones that took place in Italy. The story is not spectacular but at the same time it's good enough to keep you interested. Paris is awesome and running around the street in the aftermath of the revolution is a lot of fun. Enemies are better fighters than in previous games, if you are caught 4 to 1, for example, your chances of survival are very low. In previous games I could easily take 7-8 enemies, in this one it seems very difficult to do that.
    The only downside so far is the lack of new moves that I can do during combat. Other than that, I like the game a lot so far. So much that I took a sick day today and I'm playing non-stop.

The Paris of the French Revolution is an ideal setting, and Ubisoft's teams have put up an amazing work with harder assassinations, tougher fights and, of course, the co-op mode. A new breath in the series.

    Assassin's Creed Unity steps into the new generation with new mechanics, an outstanding scenario and many missions to entertain the player for many hours. Co-op mode is one of its biggest assets, which we hope to see in future installments. However, some technical issues, along with the waste of such an important moment as the French Revolution weigh down a game that could have gone even further.

    Very good game. Character is similiar to Ezio with different story , so if you liked Ezio you will like Arno as well. After completing it I loved the game a lot. Its definitely not better then AC2 but its still up top 3 best assassin games. The Co-op is a lot of fun too. The game has some optimizing issues on PS4 (not only I believe) fps drops in some situations. BUt they are not critical.Very good game.

I also like Arno, he is very interesting imo, and the story didn't do him justice. Despite its flaws, I still give it a 10 out of 10, maybe 9.

    With AC Unity they integrated the companion app just a little bit further into it and i´m not sure of how people will take that you will need to play on your phone/tablet so you can unlock certain things on the actual game. In my case I started not liking it, the app crashed a few times just after I installed it but after rebooting the phone and clearing the memory it worked like a champ, it loads fast, it gives you an ever better view of the map, even better than AC IV Black Flag and it´s quite simple to use when you are elsewhere, say the toillet, so I like it, it´s a ++ for me.

    I have always been a fan of Assassin's Creed. Sure they have had their slip ups with Revelations and AC III, but Ubisoft still manages to amaze me with how good they can make a game in just a year (two games, in fact, including Rogue).

Sure they have had their slip ups with Revelations and AC III, but Ubisoft still manages to amaze me with how good they can make a game in just a year (two games, in fact, including Rogue). I have just played some of the beginning of Unity and I already love it. The history, the environment, the combat, the characters, story, parkour, everything has been changed.

    Since of the next gen consoles' power, they have been able to recreate Paris in the French Revolution in a 1:1 scale, meaning no loading and along with the fact that now there can been 1000 living breathing NPCs at once on screen is amazing. The characters also look really good. So, basically, it's good in the graphics department.

    The combat and parkour are what I love the most. With combat, they have now added a new parry system, which makes it more complex than just countering and hitting back. Complexity is great in combat. And with parkour, they have two buttons for freerunning up and down, making it easier to climb so that we don't screw up something. That also means not a lot of haystacks. We control our own descent.

    I already love the story. Assassins's Creed has always perfectly mixed the game story with actual history, and they do the same here. I have yet to try the co-op, but I hope to try it soon.

    Now I do have a few complaints. What's strange is that, even though we are in France, everyone has a English accent. Not something to make a big deal about, but it would've been nice to hear some French accents. Also I did encounter some minor bugs, like a guy skipping through the streets (like glitch skipping) and a guy emerging from the ground, but again, nothing big, and hopefully that's the worst of it. The last thing is that the combat is a little...what's the word...clunky. In the last two games, the combat flowed pretty well. Now, I have only done a little combat, so I might just be jumping the gun. When I play more of the game, I will see if I can edit a few things.

    If you are an Assassin's Creed fan, get this. If you are new to the series, you may want to play some of the older ones first. But for me, this may be one of my favorites yet.    … Expand

Arno is a likable character, and very similar to Ezio, and the story focuses more on templars and assassins. While AC Black Flag seemed to focus more on pirates, Unity has a renewed focus on the fight between the two factions. Modern day scenes add little to the story but thankfully they are short. I have had enormous fun playing this game and I look forward to completing everything this game has to offer in the coming days. If you were never a fan of side missions, collectables and other extras in the series and are now complaining about it being dull, you'll finish the main story fairly quickly and maybe assassins creeds games aren't the thing for you. Combat has changed and although it is still not perfect it is more challenging then previous games where you were near god-like when faced with giant crowds. Customization adds a nice new feature to the game and allows you to focus more heavily on your style of playing the game, be it more stealthy or more open combat based. This game looks fantastic and it's great to play thus far. I only hope all the issues are ironed out for other people and that more people will buy and play this great new installment in the AC universe.… Expand

The game is filled amazing locations like the Notre Dam cathedral with massively detailed interiors/exteriors. There are tonnes of massive buildings/houses that you can enter which are all alive in their own way. Everywhere you go in Paris something is happening. Some areas in Paris are posh, laid back and have a very happy vibe to them, but some areas of Paris are filled with violent peasants getting causing chaos and starting massive riots.

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

The amount of people you can fit on screen is really great for blending and with the 8th gen graphics on ps4 Paris is beautiful containing giant structures like Notre Dame with great lighting. The combat no longer has counterkills and now is based on a levelling system which players and guards have no matter the class. There is plenty of weapons to choose from and I found using an axe at the beginning did me well, but the star weapon is the phantom blade being completely silent. This game has a new parkour system which if far quicker and I less sensitive but can get you around the city real quick. The new stealth system is great you can actually crouch now and snap to cover. This game has creed points which gives you assassins ranks which can level you up I haven't fully tried out the coop features yet but im lookin forward to it also just a note of advice im a big AC fan… Expand

How can you do such a blasphemy on the greatest asssassin creed of the entire serie?? The graphic will blow you litteraly away, even if they nerfed the version to make it par with Xbone version. Now with the patch, the game run fluid, no lag. The animation is beyond what you ever seen in a video game, the way Arno clib the building and parkour, and also the new combat system is very entertaining, and much more realistic. The story is very great also, its like a movie. Damn how could someone even rate this game under 9. I don't know what people whinning about, man i can't believe people complaining all the time, when such greatness is released. My Ps4 is so alive with Assassin Creed Unity. And now i can play anywhere i want linked on my vita for remote play. Do like me, and go buy this great game i garantee you you won't regret this choice. The game is so well done, the polished menus, the customisation, the coop play, the way you can interfere in control of region and assassin guild. My only complain is: Ive bought a DLC to wear the iron mask and paid 2.99 for it, but i can't equip it yet, just noticed the DLC isn't even released yet!!! plus i've read they will be giving this DLC free (Dead Kings) i feel somehow i've been cheated here!… Expand

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

    I have been a fan of the franchise since brotherhood. Black Flag was so much fun that I initially wanted to purchase this game as soon as it was released. However, the overwhelmingly negative reviews here on metacritic actually stopped me from getting it. After a few updates were released I convinced myself to get it. No regrets.

I found Unity to be an amazing experience, both for the storyline and the beautiful level design, and the immersion into the history. There was a lot to do besides the amazing storyline, and the customization of Arno was a great addition. This was actually my favorite game to date, falling only after Assassin's Creed II. I found this game to be a step in the right direction, after Assassin's Creed IV took it in the wrong one. I believe an ASSASSIN game should take place in the city, where there are people to assassinate, not in the ocean, where the only thing you assassinate are fish. the game also adds a level of difficulty that i find enjoyable, and i could actually get behind my assassin and root for him and what he was doing. To anyone who is a true Assassin's Creed fan i whole-heartedly recommend this game.… Expand

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