    Most underrated AC game. I played it a few years after the launch and it didn't had any bugs

    This game was very pretty for its time, and arguably the best realised city in an AC game when it was released. I Plat this recently, so have a decent gauge on the title. Unfortunately the thing that immediately stands out in my mind: the controls.

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

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

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

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

    Worst **** assassins creed game. This game for some reason will not let you jump in a where you want him to, let go of walls when you want to or just jump off the wall to another ledge.

    By far the worst assassins creed to this piont. The Controlls are terrible. When u want to climb down a wall the game does other things 90% of the time. It is nearly impossible to stay undercover and every enemy shoots you down with you having no Chance to attack him. The worst 20 hours of my life. Only played it because I want to play all assassins creed games...

For me, the game was good but considering it had to live up to Black Flag’s hype & expectations, it fell short unfortunately. I loved the story line, I think it’s one of the best from all assassin creed games. All in all, the game isn’t as bad as the ratings it was given, in my opinion.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amo a esta franquicia de videojuegos como ninguna otra, pero este juego me decepcionó bastante. Empezando por la calidad grafica que en comparación con Black Flag deja mucho que desear, la muerte de los Élise no fue bien argumentada, el que Arno traicione la orden de asesinos solo demuestra el poco desarrollo del personaje y que el mismo mate a su maestro solo encadena una secuencia de malas decisiones del director por forzar una identidad al asesino. Le quitan la hoja doble justificando que es parte de la hermandad francesa, pero no justifican el hecho de que hay un retroceso en las armas y el equipo que se emplea, eso sin mencionar las fallas del propio juego por los bugs en cuanto al gameplay. Lo mas notorio para mi fue el hecho de que trataron de resumir la vida de Ezio en un juego, primer punto, ciudad europea, segundo un joven moreno de cabello largo que pierde a su padre y un sujeto carismático loco que conoce cuando por problemas con la ley esta en apuros (en este caso la cárcel, y Ezio a su tio Mario cuando lo buscaba Vieri en Florencia) y después muere, una pelirroja (como Sofia, la esposa de Ezio) de la que se enamora, pero en este caso muere igual que el primer amor de Ezio, los problemas con la hermandad (Ezio no quería ser asesino y busco a Rodrigo por su cuenta en el segundo mientras que Arno los traiciona descaradamente), y a diferencia de la trilogia de Ezio, en el Unity desaprovecharon bastante los personajes históricos hasta parece un mal intento por emular la desaparición de Da Vinci pero ahora con Napoleón Bonaparte, una decepción de juego.… Expand

    O pior jogo de Assassins Creed que já joguei. Em pleno 2022 o jogo esta mal otimizado, trava a todo momento, o boneco trava em todo canto, historia fraquinha e como se nao fosse suficiente eu entrei na DLC sem querer e nao consigo sair mais. Que jogo péssimo pelo amor de Deus, nao sei como fizeram isso.

    still a buggy mess to this day, the story is mid but the game has its perks like the stealth is pretty good and the parkour is the best in the series no doubt. Decent game overall

    Garbage graphics even by 2014 standards, super laggy, horrible controls, they took out such important improvements from previous titles. As a whole Assassins creed 2 runs smoother and has better gameplay and about the same graphics. Waste of money and I only spent $8

    This was the worst experience in the Assassin's Creed franchise. The world was beautiful and i appreciate the attempt to spice up the combat from previous titles, but the bugs and story really bring the score down. 6.0

    +1 point for the historical beauty of this game. +1 point for the Nostradamus's riddles. +1 point for detective missions. So, overall it's 7... Because this game has absolutely the WORST controls. Maybe Tallion from the Middle-Earth was as clumsy as Arno. My Dualshock suffered a lot of kicking and throwing because of this game. Even writing this makes me angry.

    7/10 is for ubisoft for screwing it up. Unity was to be the game to bring the core AC idea back to it's glory self. But I guess we have to settle for comical, fake and mediocre RPG games. RIP Assassin's Creed, unfortunately you fell into the wrong hands :((

    Arno is the worst character in the AC franchise, AC unity is the worst game in the AC franchise. Buggy, weak character building. The game is just unfinished. Bad game

    Aunque se hayan pulido todos los bugs inaceptables que hubo en su dia... sigue siendo uno de los Assassin's Creed menos interesantes y más alargados artificialmente.

So the graphic is okay, the fps is kinda laggy when theres a crowd, npc, etc, and there are so many glitch even tho they are some of them are already fix.

    Most forgettable game in the AC franchise. Despite all the crying fanboys do about the new games, you can clearly see why Origins, odyssey, and Valhalla are a step in the right direction when you get to play **** games like this and AC Syndicate.

The only good thing are the parkour mechanics, and those are amazing in unity. However, there’s many glitches, and I’ve had my story progress wiped after joining a multiplayer game. Strange. 0/5… Expand

    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.
