    The final mission was terrible in my opinion and all the little parts that involved the Animus and Abstergo suck, it told us almost nothing and I hope the next game will blow my mind because I really looked foward to this game after Black Flag which I freaking loved but it didn't get my same reaction, I enjoyed a little bit this game has good quality but I don't think it was what WE expected.    … Expand

    Here is my review for the PlayStation 4 version of Assassin's Creed Unity:

    Background and Coverage --> I have played Assassin's Creed, Assassin's Creed 3, and Assassin's Creed Black Flag. I will cover the main game, as well as the Dead King's DLC. Also, please keep in mind that this game is judged after the initial patches which, in my opinion, made Assassin's Creed Unity playable.    Here is my review for the PlayStation 4 version of Assassin's Creed Unity:

    Background and Coverage --> I have played Assassin's Creed, Assassin's Creed 3, and Assassin's Creed Black Flag. I will cover the main game, as well as the Dead King's DLC. Also, please keep in mind that this game is judged after the initial patches which, in my opinion, made Assassin's Creed Unity playable.

    Story --> Unlike previous Assassin's Creed games where there was relevance to both the Assassins's tale and his/her real-life corrupt corporation story-line, Unity focuses primarily on the Arno Dorian's life, whose biological and adopted father get killed. It covers a number of clichés that typically appear in a "revenge" story, which includes a lover, a couple of interesting characters, and a few twists that will keep you invested long enough to go through the single-player story at least once. It is not as good as Assassin's Creed Black Flag when it comes to story-telling, but it is still very enjoyable.

    Sound --> The game's sound design really represent France during the French Revolution. It is common to hear people bickering, accordion music playing in the background, a few cries for help whenever they are being mugged or harassed. The voice-actors also do a great job in bringing their characters to life, with a particular shout-out to Dan Jeannotte, who voices the game's protagonist (Arno).

    Graphics --> There has been a lot of controversy about the game's initial release and a few of the reasons for it surfaced throughout my experience. The game has crashed a couple of times towards the end of the game and there were a few irritating glitches that occurred during pivotal moments in the game. In fact, that is my main gripe with Assassin's Creed Unity -- I, as an Assassin, can climb buildings with ease, but when it comes to jumping over a goat or climbing into a room, I experience some issues. In addition, there were a few instances where I would jump from the top of building while aiming at a stock of hay, but my player would completely miss it and I would die. With all of that being said, they do not occur very often and the game is still good. Now, I must talk about the overall graphics. The first and only game that truly wowed me with its graphical fidelity was Killzone Shadow Fall. That is, until I got my hands on Assassin's Creed Unity. My jaw dropped the floor when I saw the facial animations and the smoothness of the parkour (although at times annoying) and the environment are absolutely stunning. Personally, this is a show-case game simply for its graphical aspect.

    Gameplay --> If you have played an Assassin's Creed game, then you know what to expect with Assassin's Creed Unity. If not, then your experience will include parkour movement, a large amount of main/side missions, improvised moments where you either have to kill enemies or chase after a thief, and a few references to historical figures, which include Napoleon. You can either play it stealthy or go Rambo-style, but I would not recommend the latter, especially at the beginning. Your skills and equipment can be upgraded by doing the aforementioned missions and participating in co-op multi-player, which is easily the best part of the game. You can do two types of missions (typical missions with clear objectives that normally revolve around killing a certain individual and Heists missions) with up to four people and the first time that you sync a four-player assassination will get your adrenaline running and make it seem as if you accomplished something truly special. When glitches do not get in your way, the gameplay is spectacular and it is the reason why Assassin's Creed Unity is simply a fun game with which you mess around.

    Longetivity --> Assassin's Creed Unity's replayability will depend on (a) your tolerance to re-play the co-op missions and/or (b) do them with friends. There is not much to do in the game once you clear the story-mode and the side missions (which could take you a while -- I am still trying to complete everything). Therefore, if you like the co-op missions and would like to pop the game in once in a while to do a heist or an assassination mission, then I would certainly keep the title in your collection.

    Dead King's DLC --> If you already chose to buy the game, you might as well download this piece of DLC. It is free, and it adds some cool missions, a new enemy type and equipment. The story adds to Arno's personality and I enjoyed the four-hour add-on to the original game. I have to point out an area of the map that is only available in the DLC -- the catacombs. They are extremely annoying. Enemies typically re-spawn in order to fill-out the void in the map, but the frequency in which they do it here is ridiculous. This is just a pet-peeve and, as frustrating as it is, it doesn't detract from the overall experience.

    Overall --> Purchase at a minor sale-price ($40). Glitches aside, it is a fun game for the PlayStation 4.    … 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

    La historia no es muy buena y no engancha, aparte de los montones de bugs que tuvo a su salida. La iluminación es buena, y los gráficos aunque pudieron dar más de sí cumplen bien. Todavía quedan bugs pese a las actualizaciones sobre todo en el cooperativo, el que se me han quedado los objetivos de la misión congelados

    After I heard about all the bugs, and glitches after this gamer first released, I decided I would wait until Ubisoft fixed most of it before I would play it.

I cant imagine what it was like before the patches. What a disaster for Ubisoft. For a company that releases some top tier games this was by far the worst one I played so far. The only somewhat fun thing I found was the gear customization and all the different weapons to play with. Unity is based during the french revolution. People are protesting, soldiers are killing etc. The most impressive thing about this game was the number of people in crowds yelling and fighting. This is quickly put at the fore front of problems with this game when you try to move your character. Nothing about is is smooth. It is one chug after another. Ubisoft went on record saying that they fixed all the annoying movements from poor control mapping. This is 100% false. It is worse than ever. You try to climb up, your character moves sideways. You try to go through a window and you end up climbing past it. It is just terrible. In Ubisoft's defense, it would be almost impossible to top black flag, but the infuriating part was THEY DID! But only for last gen consoles. ARE YOU KIDDING ME! The defining moment for The Assassin's creed franchise and they put the OBVIOUSLY much better game with the much better engine on the much worse consoles! WHAT!? And to make it all even worse is the absurd amount of micro-transactions you would have to do to even finish the game 100%. I paid 60 bucks for this game, and now you are telling me that in order too experience everything i have to spend 5 dollars here and five dollars there. Then they want you to download the companion app witch is totally backwards. Why in the hell would you work so hard creating a game that is supposed to submerge the player in the story and setting to just yank them out of it completely all so they can open blue chests. Wow....... I know this was supposed to be a review but they have already stolen enough of my time and hard earned money. Do yourself a favor and stick with Far Cry 4 or buy a last gen console if you dont still have one and play rogue.… Expand

    I love Black Flag so this has been disappointing. Graphics are amazing, city is amazing, Forcing multiplayer is an annoyance and low. The game mechanics are not as user friendly as black flag. Bunch of glitches. It's a bummer of a follow up for the masterpiece that Black Flag was. I wish they'd do some upgrades to improve.

    If they manage to ever fix the game, i would rate it 8 or 9. The only reason i gave it 1, and not 0, is the fact that Ubisoft gave away free season passes to all who bought the game. And a free "AAA" game from Ubisoft to all that had bought the season pass before this.    … Expand

    As broken as it was at launch, the game is fixed now, so I will focus on my experiences with the game after the fact.

    Assassin's Creed Unity, boy was I excited for this game. The trailers showed many things; Stunning graphics, increase in crowds, the new Parkour Down system as well as Player Customization... There were so many things I looked forward to that I knew I needed this game.    As broken as it was at launch, the game is fixed now, so I will focus on my experiences with the game after the fact.

    Assassin's Creed Unity, boy was I excited for this game. The trailers showed many things; Stunning graphics, increase in crowds, the new Parkour Down system as well as Player Customization... There were so many things I looked forward to that I knew I needed this game.

    Then it came out... Hue, but after the game got fixed, I was actually happy.

    Story: It could've been better. It could've dealt more with the famous historical figures of the time, rather than just push them to the side-missions. Arno is actually likable, yet the same thing as Ezio. He's brash at first, then cools down and becomes the cold-hearted Assassin that the games made us so used to at this point. His love interest, Elise, is hot, but besides that... Eh, she could've been done better. The same thing could have been done with the historical events of the period. Instead of just being there on a mission while a major protest was happening, why not actually experience the wrath of the protest itself? Hopefully they fix this in the next game.

    Gameplay: The map is **** huge with a ton of **** to do. Nuff about that. Actual gameplay, however, is fun for the most part. Enemies are in different factions, which are the French Guard, and the Radicals. They are harder than in previous games, so fights present a challenge. They will kill you if they're in a group more than 6. This thus makes the player try to assume a more stealthy approach, and stay away from the guards and radicals. The Parkour Down system is nothing special, other than the fact that you can control your descent now, rather than look for the nearest haystack and jump into it. Player customization is also pretty in-depth. You can choose which armor you want, depending on how it looks, or how it works, but it's in-depth. You can change the colour, and mix and match pieces to make your own unique assassin. This all then goes into the multiplayer, which I think is a welcome addition, as it adds a sense of fraternity and strategy in the game (given of course you have a mic).

    Graphics: Beautiful, especially the lighting and the interiors.

    Bugs: Now here's the major negative. Even after the fix, the bugs are still majorly prevalent. I wasn't able to get any weapons I've won from club competition because of this bug that got on the game with some Downloadable Content I got, which is a real bummer. The only way it worked was to remove that downloadable content. I've also run into very few crashes on the ps4... *Sigh*

    Microtransactions: You don't need to use this if you don't want to spend money. But is is there if you really wanna cheat your way to get good items, so where's the honor in that?

    Overall, I don't think this game deserve such negative reviews. Yes, our experiences were marred by launch, but in the end, it's actually pretty decent. The graphics are stunning, the gameplay is as immersive as it's ever been (free running around Paris is fun), the map is **** huge, and the story is pretty interesting. It is a very good throwback to the series' roots.

    Now in my opinion, it should be worth $30 tops, so wait for a sale and get it.

    Also, I'd like to think Ubisoft made up for it because they gave people who got the game at launch a free $60. Legit, for free. I got Far Cry 4 for free because of it, and Far Cry 4 is great!    … Expand

There were some times where I couldn't wait for the game to be over, but others where I was really enjoying it and having fun.

    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

    I did like this game at first but as I got later into the game it was confusing. There is absolutely no help for finding a way into the buildings you, um let me guess NEED TO GET INTO FOR THAT MISSION!!! As this game was near impossible for me to play I never bothered getting even halfway into the story.

    The technicall mess is so bad in this game that you will automatically desist on playing it. This game is a Joke. Frame rate is awfull, glitches, bugs and crashes make this game one of the biggest failures in the gaming history.

Паркур, анимации, передвижение по миру - идеально. До сих пор эталон того, каким Ассассин может быть. К сожалению, Assassin's Creed - это не только паркур и красивая декорация, это и сюжет, противостояние идеологий, таинственность и раскрытая тяжелая судьба ассассинов.

    This the most ambitious AC game that ubisoft ever made. Just don't get time to be completed, it was left forsaken...

    When I looked at the mid-term evaluation, I was a little nervous about what awaited me. But after finishing it, I ask myself "Why does this game have such a low rating" ?. I understand that the players were somewhat disappointed after the release of the game due to various bugs and the like. But if we look at the game as a fully updated and corrected game, it is not bad at all.

I understand that the players were somewhat disappointed after the release of the game due to various bugs and the like. 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

    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]
