    I remember when I first played AC1 and saying to a friend that it was the best game I'd ever played (and I've been playing computer and videogames for 35 years now!). AC Unity continues the trend by being possibly the most beautiful game (and man, it's smooth, no fps problems or glitches at all!) I've ever played!
    I don't understand how people can complain that there is an AC game released every year and that they're repetitive when you have such new and amazingly detailed architecture and full cities being rendered and populated, along with great acting and backstories... The more I play this game, the more it pulls me in.
    I have to admit that initially it took me a while to get into the game, as it nearly always does with AC games, but once you get the hang of it and start improving your character and weapons, it just becomes a blast, the city of Paris is truly your playground! Along with the fast travel ability and new mission types such as murder mysteries and riddles, the game never really feels old nor boring and give you a great variety of tasks to break up the monotony that has plagued other slightly similar games.
    Keep those AC games coming Ubisoft (even though I did wait and buy the game with a great discount!) and we'll keep buying them. I really want the next AC game to be set in WW2 Europe, it would be amazing to have to find and assassinate Hitler in his bunker at the end of the game and lends itself quite well to the templars and assassins and the (crazy) ideas and ideals of the Nazis!    … Expand

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

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

    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. Everybody has British accent in France, NPCs run against walls, glide everywhere and warp stupidly on objects. 1 point for trying to make co-op.

However, in its current state, aside from a few sticky control issues, it is perfectly playable and also sufficiently enjoyable. Graphically its impressive, and the hundreds of on screen NPC's at a single time is particularly splendid. The combat can at times be weak, yet I've never enjoyed combat in previous iterations, however in this particular game it can be slightly more punishing, and the preferable method is to assassinate and run, arguable what the franchise is about. The side missions can be entertaining, although a tendency to mindlessly complete them without really considering their story is commonplace and perhaps due to the irrelevance of many of them. The murder mysteries can be quite entertaining also, yet often they drag on with investigation zones miles apart. Similarly, the main assassination missions have been revamped, with numerous entries and side missions that can affect the nature of the assassination, interesting but not revolutionary. Overall, a year on this is a fairly standard AC game, with clunkier controls, yet certainly a more interesting and detailed setting and environment that other iterations. Probably worth a rental if you're particularly interesting in the series.… Expand

But I did not play it as soon as I got home. When the first reports of bugs, glitches and so on started to take the internet by storm, I decided to wait, let it be patched and give it a try. And I really have to say I love, I absolutely love this game after it's been patched. The fact that I'm very into the French Revolution helps a lot, but I did enjoy my time with ACU and do think of it as one of the best ones in the franchise. Is it a perfect game? No way, absolutely not.

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

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

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

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

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

    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.

    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.

Sadly most the time I disconnected from my group but the ones I did complete where very fun. The most original thing the game does is take to you different eras of time and you do missions on the Eiffel Tower and other historical parts of Paris.

    On a serious note though, "Joking aside, the graphics, mission structure, co-op focus, and other implementations make this game a step backwards from AC4." Are you serious? This IS Assassin's Creed, not a naval simulator. I'm thankful that Unity took a step back from ACIV's gameplay. ACIV just felt like a third person Call Of Duty. 1 v 10? Not a problem in    10/10 Spidey Simulator

    "Joking aside, the graphics, mission structure, co-op focus, and other implementations make this game a step backwards from AC4."

    Are you serious? This IS Assassin's Creed, not a naval simulator. I'm thankful that Unity took a step back from ACIV's gameplay. ACIV just felt like a third person Call Of Duty. 1 v 10? Not a problem in ACIV, as you can chain kills with the overpowered counter-kill system. Is that the essence of an assassin? Mowing and plowing down everyone in your way?

    Unity felt like a step back to the original Assassin's Creed games, especially to AC1, where there is no counter kill at all, all for a good reason. Mowing and plowing down everyone in your way is fun, but it gets boring after awhile. It also takes away the necessity to buy better equipments *cough* microtransactions *cough* (actually, in ACU you could farm for the items yourself without the microtransactions, pretty easy actually, just complete all Cafe Theatre renovations and missions and purchase all Social Clubs, ta-da! 10,000 livres per 15 minutes, although some are locked until you play Club Competition)

    From the stealth perspective, the cover mechanic is a welcome, although unnecessary, addition to the game. The stealth mode (L2 button) introduced into the game is also a great addition to the game, as it enhances stealth playstyles greatly and adds a new dimension to the game.

    Ranged-weapon mechanics is a bit of a pain in the a** though. Rifles and pistols have the same range and accuracy. Seriously? The aiming mode is quite buggy too.

    The problem with ACU is that you can BARELY Assassinate mission targets that are incapacitated inside smoke bombs if you are already inside a conflict. The targeting system is a bit of a mess imo.

    Overall, I'm quite pleased with the gameplay, although some elements can be better implemented *cough* less glitchy *cough*.

    I do agree on the graphics being subpar though. They were great during the first few missions, but then they went to crap as the missions progressed. And don't mention the clippings. They're EVERYWHERE (trivia: the epidemic begun from AC Brotherhood). Even in cutscenes. Seriously Ubisoft? At least you can make sure that none of the hoods (I'm looking at you, Legendary Phantom Hood) clip Arno's face so innocenly in one of the most important cutscenes of your game (including the last mission).

    The parkour and controls are both good and bad. The good thing is that parkour from high buildings is much easier now as you don't have to slowly climb down a building if you can't find a haystack. This makes ALL the difference. The bad thing is that the "Controlled Descent" system is glitchy. Sometimes Arno would clip inside a wall when descending and clip out again for a brief moment. Overall though, I think the revamped parkour system is a very welcome addition to the franchise, provided that you don't mind playing spidey.

    However, the game felt EXTREMELY unpolished. The tutorials are incomplete, the "Database" doesn't have much information (trivia: they have grammatical errors! such a polished game!)

    Hell, the e-manual doesn't even tell you how to reload your pistols! I had to spam my DualShock to figure it out (hint: it's L3).

    Moving on to the co-op system. As a YouTube user described it:
    "DISCLAIMER:
    This trailer is HEAVILY SCRIPTED and does not depict the reality of co-op with your dumbass friends."

    The co-op system though, is fairly solid. Even when I played with a guy from UK (I'm in SEA), the co-op session felt lag-less and it was a very fun experience.

    And yes, before you ask, the FPS is choppy. Not as choppy people seemed to led me to believe though (20-30 FPS, I thought it was like 10 or 5). Personally, it's a minor problem compared to the other problems.

    The story, on the other hand, has potential. But it's just way too compressed. It's basically Assassin's Creed Simulator. Remember how Ezio got 3 titles dedicated just for him (4 if you count Embers). Now imagine those 3 titles are condensed into 1 title. A disaster. An over-compressed piece of junk. Arno went from a womanizer into a homicidal assassin imbued with spidey-abilities bent on revenge in, what, several hours? Main characters has A LOT OF POTENTIALS, but Ubisoft deems it necessary to kill them off in a few missions after they were introduced. The missions are basically "Kill Target A". Done. Hell, the First Civilization became a minor footnote/reference in this title! Where's the conspiracies we AC fans love?

    I don't usually appreciate stories being dragged out, but I feel that this story needs to be dragged out. Let us enjoy the appetizer before proceeding to the main course. Hell, you could make even more money than micro-transaction!

    Overall, a dirty-ass impure diamond-ore that has not been refined into actual diamond. It's dirty, it's muddy, but when you look at the potentials of it, you'll be astounded as to why Ubisoft rushed its refinement    … Expand

If they would of put more love into the story, make Robespierre more of a villain, and make you feel like your really changing the country then it would of been amazing.

    The assassination missions where you choose the way you want to infiltrate and take out your target was a nice touch, as well as the murder mysteries. The game had it's moments but at the end of the day it was the 4th or 5th best assassins creed (having not played rogue) but it could of been the best. They really need to focus more on the story. I feel like every year they fail to capitalize on the history that surrounds these settings.

    While it is a good game it isn't anywhere near great. If your gonna buy one game this year this shouldn't be it. Hell, if your gonna buy 5 games this year I'm not sure I can say this should be one of them.

    Ubisoft put more love into this series. It has the potential to be the best game every year but you keep giving us generic stories and mediocre mechanics.    … Expand

    Nothing like AC4BF. Very dissapointing. Nice graphics, but a lot of glitches and bugs, freezes, etc. Story is way less fluid so far. There is a cash shop also. I will give this game a negative review until they fix the bugs. That first update didn't solve much. Or maybe it was worst? I played for like 2 hours. Going to wait for next patch to continue.

    This game is an unpolished mess. Texture popping, low framerate and random audio bugs ruin the experience. I would strongly advise people not to buy this game.

    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]
