    Even though AC is an yearly release franchise, and to be honest AC IV is not exactly what I'm looking for, I gotta say, AC Unity is freaking awesome, and totally fresh. The graphic, the setting, the atmosphere is perfect, the characters is well done, the story, although predictable is still pretty good. And I didn't even experience any frame drop, and hardly any glitches at all.

The gameplay is much better than AC4 and Rogue as is the story. The story is far more focused on Arno and his relationship with Elise than the assassins. The revolution setting is good but also seems like it missed some great opportunities with the story so heavily focused on the young couple and their personal quest.

    The two bugs that I encountered where when performing drop assassination Arno would simply drop onto the target then get up without performing the assassination, the other was him not being able to attack, parry or dodge during combat which could be undone by going completely anonymous. I came across both bugs fairly often.

    The skillpoint system mostly requires you unlock abilities that where a given or earned early on in past games and seems like a missed opportunity to add in some true innovation to the assassins abilities. Scattering points around coop maps to be found seemed silly and a way to force players into making use of the multiplayer mode.

    The paris stories and murder mystery side quests are good and welcome addition instead of just the plethora of collecting items that was stuffed into the last few titles in the series even though those collection items are still present.

    Overall I would say after the patching this is the best in series since Brotherhood, the writing is far better than Ac3,revolution,4 and Rogue. Arno and Elise are the best characters of the last few games and I hope they make a return to the series.

It's so obvious that half of these reviews are just fake, trolling, double accounts etc. I was reading over 200 of them to understand what the hell were these people thinking and it seems like most them doesn't even care for this game at all. Some of them doesn't even like Assassin's Creed. So it's so obvious that this user score is rigged by bunch of haters, who could care less, if these games ever existed.

    This game is absolutely amazing. It's most fun i have had in very long time (and yes, i play tons of other games as well, but that doesn't mean i can't compliment stuff i like). To elaborate, it's not like when Red Dead Redemption 2 is amazing game and obviously better game than AC Unity, then by some logic i can never say that I absolutely loved AC Unity. It doesn't make any sense, but sadly there are actually people out there, who think that way (certain youtubers even, but i'm not going to name them, because they simply don't deserve it).

    People who say that this game is boring and simply delusional and i mean it! I could spend hours just parkouring around Paris, climbing etc. Just as i could swing around in Spider-Man (2018) for hours. And it's not only parkour obviously, city is full of things and places to discover. I was shocked how many hidden entrances there were, where you can randomly climb inside some houses and only entrance would be on rooftop, so you literally have to search for them and that's cool in my opinion. That's called exploration. AC Unity has by far best combat animations and combat is very brutal in this game. There's also tons of famous landmarks of Paris, Catacombs etc, it's all there.

    So people who said that this city is empty and boring, were either lying or didn't even care to look for these things and places. Of course it's not Black Flag level exploration, but there's just so much you can do with city game. Could it have even more content? Sure. But in my opinion it has already enough. Graphics are absolutely phenomenal, specially on PC. It's easily top 3 best looking game of 2014 and still holds up amazingly. Even tho it's obviously best on PC, even on PS4 it's still great. Overall conclusion : It's amazing game, i absolutely love it and i'm highly recommending this.

It still has unique AC-series gameplay in the best traditions. Moreover they returned classic stuff like medicine (instead of auto-regeneration) and you feel yourself playing first Assassin's creed with more modern graphics. It looks like restart of series, really good restart. You can say: "man, what about bugs crashes and fps!? Is it a lie or you just kidding us?" Well, I got this game in early 2015 and it downloaded about 6GB of patches. If that game really was unplayable, now it is not. The most fresh and impessive thing you can see there is co-op mode. No, not like it was in Black flag, stuff like "Find that guard on small map and kill him screaming DIE YOU MISERABLE GUARD". Real, real co-op. With real missions like you play in single player. Incredible feelings. Also in this game you will find more customization options,there a way more weapons and clothings and now they have own stats, and really matter. You came with bad equipment to wrong district, start fighting with guards and boom, you are dead. No more terminator-stuff with hidden blade. Really good point. So, if you are AC fun and still thinking about buy or not this game, you are missing decent game, where low-fps ( rarely to be honest) and so called EVIL BUGS( which are mostly removed, I believe) really will not spoil your good impressions. I'm sure that if critics will play game again, they definitely change their rating to higher. Anyway, final choice is always yours, have fun. Expand

    Talk about revolutionary.

    Not, mind you, in the sense of a radical shift, but in terms of having two polarized armies going at it. Assassin's Creed, the series you either adore or bemoan, is now even more divisive than before, thanks to the coupling of amazing new gameplay systems and archaic hangers-on that aren't ready to drift away into the annals of history.

    Taking place in yet another tumultuous time period, in yet another fascinating city rarely seen in video games, and with a well told and maturely written tale spanning decades, Assassin's Creed: Unity excels at giving us what we expect out of the series, with a number of smart tweaks. The AI-driven free-running system, for instance, now feels more fluid and dynamic thanks largely to the Parkour Down ability and a generally well-designed landscape to ply it in. Traversing this massive city is more pleasant than before now that city officials have evidently decided that having half their guards hanging out on rooftops is detrimental to curbing crime which primarily takes place at ground level. Combat, meanwhile, is more harrowing than before, with enemies employing aggressive tactics and forgetting that they're supposed to wait for their turn and ignore their firearms. The story, also, is more focused than even Black Flag, with the assassinations front and center and a singular goal of revenge coursing through the games. The modern day components, for those who consider this to be needless distractions (I like them, but to each their own), are pushed deep into the background and only come up for air to remind you that you're playing an Assassin's Creed game and that there's a whole meta-story going on.

    Best of all, the actual assassination missions actually feel like, well, assassinations. Arno stalks his prey through massive graveyards, massive mansions, massive cathedrals, and massive public gatherings. While these may not reach the tactical heights of, say, your average Hitman game, they are well above what we've seen out of the series prior.

    So, that's all well and good, and appreciated. Of course, this is Assassin's Creed, and there's always a balance. The technical issues have been pounded on since launch, and I won't reiterate them here because a) I rarely experienced them myself, and b) the multitude of patches Ubisoft has issued has largely dealt with these. Perhaps I'm more forgiving than most, as I lived through the earlier days of gaming where a "bug" might, for instance, frag your entire hard drive, so the occasional skipped frame or missing face, while disturbing, is not a deal breaker for me, and I prefer to appreciate the work that's gone into this project.

    What's harder to forgive, however, are the issues that have been plaguing the series since its inception. As good as the parkour feels when you're simply running around, any time you're attempting a specific move during a mission, it is an inevitability that Arno will decide that hanging from a door frame is the fastest way to escape a throng of bandits. This occurs less often than the earlier games, where Ezio and the gang would frequently make suicidal leaps for the fun of it, but it's still disheartening to see it return after a supposed total revamp. There are still eavesdropping quests, though less than before, and there are still some duds amongst the missions that will have you shaking your head.

    There's also a multiplayer component, which I will concede I've not even touched as of yet.

    So, no, Assassin's Creed Unity is far from perfect. It's not even the pinnacle of the series (AC II and Black Flag, in my estimation). It's marred by questionable design decisions that should have been ironed out years ago, technical hiccups that break the illusion, and the same control qualms that have led to the deaths of countless assassins since the middle ages. On the flip side, it is a mature tale well told, with fascinating characters in a compelling backdrop. The dichotomy between the Assassins and the Templars continues to become less black and white and more grey, with each warring side coming closer to one another with every passing generation. The production values scream next generation any time the sun drapes across the cobblestone streets you're dashing down and any time you stroll past a band entertaining a crowd. The environment is lovingly crafted -- I spent an absurd amount of time watching the populace go about their daily lives, and was floored when I realized that there was an entire sequence, easily missed by those in a hurry, of people working on a printing press from start to finish.

    Seriously, that part was freaking cool.

    Here's my verdict, then, at the end of an overlong treatise to this year's entry: It's not perfect, just like every other Assassin's Creed game. Other games have improved on its mechanics several times over. But nothing else feels like Assassin's Creed, and I am genuinely enamoured with this series and its personality.

    Pero una vez arreglado tenemos un juego hermoso gráficamente, solo vean esa Catedral de Notre Dame. Fue la primera vez que me quedé impresionado por el detalle tan parecido a la realidad. Tanto que ayudó cuando el incendio.
    El parkour es el mejor de la saga, no solo por lo fluido que es, sino por la elegancia, no es tosco, no te equivocas, o sea, miren como se desliza, salta, es el mejor de la saga.
    La historia es un poco liosa, pero es decente la verdad y a diferencia de Rogue no se siente apresurada, ni hay rellenos, solo que hay muchos personajes y a veces me perdí.
    El sistema de combate no es malo la verdad, es cierto que dejamos aquellas eliminaciones múltiples, pero le aumenta la dificultad, ya que estaba siendo muy fácil combatir. Quizás si le hubieran añadido las cinemáticas de ejecución o la cámara lenta sería mejor.
    El sistema de personalización es de los mejores de la saga, ya que antes solo teníamos el mismo traje con diferentes colores y alguno diferente, pero aquí somos nosotros quienes le damos la apariencia, lo único que crea el dilema de coger lo que más te gusta o lo que mejor estadística tiene. Eso no me agradó.
    Primer juego que dejó muy de lado el presente, porque yo soy de los pocos que la detestan, así que me gustó que casi no la pusieran y cuando lo hicieron me entretuvo ya que no era estar buscando una reliquia o resolver un acertijo, algo que sinceramente me aburría.
    Otra cosa que me gustó es que la desincronización no fuera tan abusiva, dejando al jugador con la elección de si querer ser sigiloso o ir a luchar.
    Las misiones multijugador me gustaron bastante.
    Por supuesto no todos son virtudes, por ejemplo que en el multijugador todos seamos Arno hombre no pega.
    Aún hay algunos bugs como cuando el personaje no lanza el humo o cuando no esquiva a tiempo.
    El doblaje de Napoleón en español es penoso. O sea, todos los demás personajes están muy bien, pero el de Napoleón es muy malo.

    Es un gran juego, no se dejen llevar por las críticas de cuando salió, ah y otra cosa, Elise me parece la personaje femenina más hermosa de la saga. Me hubiese gustado un DLC con ella como protagonista.

    Anyone who says that this game is bad or even average, is a fool. AC Unity is one of the best modern AC games and overall one of the best AC games in general. It's buggy launch doesn't matter at all anymore, because now this game is playable on any system really.

    Why? Because it feels like the natural progression of the AC games since 1 were about stealth, templars, assassins and conquering districts and performing cool assassinations and learning about history. Where the new games try to be open world, Witcher-wanna-bes.

    This game is, imo, the best of them all because it feels like a true AC title, adds many extra cool weapons, skills and equipment as well as, most importantly, a giant beautiful detailed city to explore and climb to your hearts content.

    Even though this game had a rough start, after many patches and years this has become a pretty solid and stable game with many new game mechanics, such as the new implemented parkour system.
    What also you have to keep in mind is, due to community's reviews and feedback on how the game at start was practically unplayable, Ubisoft decided to give the Dead Kings DLC for free.

    This time we play as Arno, emmediately after the ending in AC Rogue where Shay Cormac (Templar) assassinates Arno's father. After that, I won't say anything detailed but he becomes an Assassin, in quest for revenge. Almost the whole game you will be in Paris and a little bit in Versailles, all during the France Revolution.

    At first on my perspective this is the last real Assassin's Creed with real stealth mechanics, on every main quest where you have to assassinate someone the game gives you how many entrances, guards, hiding spots, alarm bells you have, so everything needs to be planned before taking out the target. Apart from the main story, which ending wasn't really great, there are many side quest like Paris Stories, Companion Missions (after some time they start to be repetitive: steal from the target, assassinate the target and defend the ally), and the last and the best, Murder Mysteries (as the title says you investigate murders). But if you want a more coop approach you have Co-op Missions and Heists, which can be played privately or with someone.
    Now what this game stands out from others?
    Well, character customisation, with this I mean, you decide which weapons to use from: sword, long weapons, blunt weapons, pistols, rifles, and every single equipment can be customised, better the weapon or equipment, better the overall stats are. Paris is divided into districts in which every district has its own rank, the higher the rank, the harder the enemies.
    What's wrong with the game?
    Even though after time Ubisoft successfully removed almost every issue, the parkour system is new and great, but still rough around the edges and sometimes irritating.

    All in all, now I can say that the game is almost completely stable and I haven't found any game-breaking issues with it. This game has the best stealth mechanics of all AC games so far, the story isn't great but acceptable, side quest gets repetitive after time, but with open-world games this has already become a habit.

    Monotonous missions. Boring so much that they make you want to sleep. An interesting beginning slides further into a greasy grind. Apart from the graphics and beautifully recreated Paris, there is nothing else in this game.

I'm not sure, if CDproject is actually buying positive reviews, but AC Unity clearly shows that Ubisoft doesn't buy reviews. This game came out 7 years ago and it only has 550 positive reviews. So even this alone shows how much better company Ubisoft really is. Expand

    What's with this extremely low user score. It must be lowest user score for any major actually good video game and possibly lowest user score for any AAA game of 2014.

Паркур тоже не не был обойден стороной, благодаря новым анимациям и системе города масштабам 1 к 1, стало бегать по крышам Парижа одно удовольствие. В плане как игра выглядит и как она играется почти нет претензий - это правильно развитие серии, но в отличии от этих двух больших плюсов, записался одни но так же важный минус и это сюжет.
    Сюжет в Ассасине всегда был интересен, да он был довольно не равномерным и где-то сюжет был лучше, а где-то хуже но опять же он был интересен, даже самые слабые сюжеты могли принести, что-то хорошее, но Единство не из их числа: Сюжет блёклый в духе "Рамео и Джульеты", без интересных персонажей, в игре абсолютно не цепляют неожиданные повороты и сами главный злодей получился абсолютно невнятным, а после концовки всплывает только один вопрос "И это всё?" Жаль, что такой вроде многообещающий сэттинг был обделён хорошим сценарием, единственное что я могу отметить в плюс сюжета, то это диалоги.

    The time period of the game and the variety that the game offers us is not bad. The costume and venue design is beautiful and varied. There are various bugs in the game and these bugs have been fixed through the update.It was nice that the up and down keys were separate while doing the parkour. After a while, the side missions start to become monotonous, but at that point the game is over.

    Скажу сразу, я считаю Assassin’s Creed Unity лучшей игрой из Assassin’s Creedов "старой школы". И вот почему.

    Скажу сразу, я считаю Assassin’s Creed Unity лучшей игрой из Assassin’s Creedов "старой школы". И вот почему.
    Я начал своё знакомство с серией с самой первой игры в 2007 году. Мне понравился сеттинг, но ужасная боевая система заставила меня бросить игру на середине. Assassin’s Creed 2 я запустил и понял, что эта часть будет для меня мертворожденной, так как в игре совершенно не изменили боёвку! А терпеть её из за "шикарного сюжета" я был не в состоянии!. Третья пройдена была полностью, боёвку изменили, но сюжет меня как то не зацепил.
    Дошли до Black Flag. И игра в принципе ничего, но. Меня просто убили морские сражения. Ненавижу всякие покатушки в играх. Короче отстой.
    Rogue мне понравилась больше третьей части. И сюжет запутанный, и боевку, наконец, допилили.
    Но вот вышла Unity (Так же позже вышла Syndicate, но после Unity она выглядела очень бледно во всех отношениях) и как у 99% писишников играть в неё было практически невозможно. Вспомнил про неё только когда купил PS4.
    И ё мае, какая же это прекрасная игра.
    Сюжет меня просто завораживал, сеттинг французской революции, мне очень понравился. Молодой Наполеон, в качестве нпс. К тому же сюжет игры очень тесно связан с Rogue, третьей, а так же Black Flag частями серии.
    Боёвку довели до идеала. Из игры, наконец то, выкинули эти грёбаные морские баталии и заплывы!!!
    Появилась (не только здесь, но всё же) система оружия, одежды со всякими модификациями.
    Стелс. Не очень люблю стелс, так как в 95% случаев в других играх он просто ужасен, но здесь достигнут, на мой взгляд, высший уровень качества всей серии Assassin’s Creed.
    К тому же игра выглядела на PS4 просто великолепно! В отличии от той же Syndicate, которая выглядела на PS4 как какой то порт с PS3, что очень странно!
    Вообще игра прошлась, не смотря на свою большую продолжительность, на одном дыхании!
    Позже вышла Origins, а так же не имеющая никакого отношения к серии Odyssey. Но это игры уже совершенно другого поколения.
    Так что Unity, на мой взгляд, это вершина развития тех самых "старых Assassinов", особенно по сравнению с невзрачной Syndicate!
    Хотя в игре есть кооп. режим, убедительно прошу проходить игру ОДНОМУ! Кто пропустил, мой совет, пройдите даже сейчас. Не пожалеете!!!

They feels like a fresh breeze and open another side of the gameplay.
    I gave it 9 instead of 10 just because :
    - I found clothes and weapon system a bit confusing, It is har to tell how specific armor impacts overall player stats.
    - When doing beat-em-all style of play - some fight animations of player are too long , which results in inablitiy to parry or counter atack.
    - May be its just me , but I had constant feelinmg that Elise character is redundand and can be easily removed from the story. It feels a bit awkward.

Of course the patches made the game more stable but not perfect. The story makes you revisit old historical characters like Napoleone Bonaparte and some very interesting historical events with a unique protagonist, Arno Dorian. Exploring is what I enjoyed the most thanks to a very satisfying parkour system that I considered the most fluent in any other AC game. This game unfortunately suffers from the usual Ubisoft habit to fill the map with an exaggerated quantity of useless collectibles that force you to get them if you want the platinum trophy.

The recreation of Paris is amazing, a city completely alive, full of details everywhere you look. You can just wander around and admire the city, but there's also a lot of things to do.

    Unlike other AC's,this one i played this year and i was pleasantly surprised.It has good single player campaign with quality missions,map and cutscenes.There are a few repetitive missions,but not really bad.For me,it was a fun expirience and i would reccomend it.

    First let me say that I fully understand the bad reviews of this game, at its release the huge amounts of defaults were just overwhelming and that's a shame because if the developers were left enough time to correct it before its release Unity could have been remember as the best game in the franchise since Brotherhood.

    A lot of improvements have been made starting by the first obvious
    First let me say that I fully understand the bad reviews of this game, at its release the huge amounts of defaults were just overwhelming and that's a shame because if the developers were left enough time to correct it before its release Unity could have been remember as the best game in the franchise since Brotherhood.

    A lot of improvements have been made starting by the first obvious one the graphics, they are gorgeous with a city of Paris that look very alive, with a huge amount of details, lot of interiors, lot of characters on the screen you can easily understand why there was so many issues on the technical side, compared to Unity, Black Flag several years old, and even now after all the patches some minor bugs remain.

    There's also some improvement on the gameplay, climbing is more comfortable with the ability of "free running down" like they call it, the sword fights are more difficult (at least an Assassin's Creed game where you stand very small chance when outnumbered 10 to 1 !) and there is some character customization (unlock the skills you desire most, choose your style of weapon, and then improve your gear all over the game), and of course some co-op missions that are very well done and truly enjoyable when playing with friends, nothing new on the infiltration but this is already quite a big deal and I personally liked those changes.

    On the content side once again the game is very generous with a quite interesting story and characters, tons of collectibles and at least side activities really interesting with their own stories to tell, that's a huge plus for me and it really makes you want to play them all. In total to reach 100% you can expect 50 hours in the game with more than 30 dedicated to the story and side stories, very good value for money.

    Once again my review is based on the game as it is today and its goal is to help those that hesitates to buy it today (or in the future), and in this optic I really advised Unity for all those qualities. Yes the game is pretty mainstream (and already the ninth of the franchise) and still got some bugs but a very effective gameplay, gorgeous visuals, tons of hours of entertainment, isn't that a good video game ?

    O Unity teve o lançamento muito ruim por conta dos bugs, desempenho ruim, e uma historia não muito boa. Mas agora na atualidade foram lançados diversos patchs de correções fazendo com que os vários bugs venham ser diminuídos bastante e o desempenho melhorado( mas ainda continua tendo uma performance ruim).Esse jogo é realmente pra quem é fã da serie.

    Do the bugs really bother you? Are they the only excuse you hate Unity? Once you see pass that, you'll see a most beautiful game of lots of activities and action. It's an ambitious game. Do I recommend this? Heck yes. With last year's Black Flag, I'm more excited than ever for the series.

    Honestly this is a good game that just had a bad launch due to bugs and glitches but once they are patched up which always is the game itself really is a good game and anyone who is a fan of the asassasin's creed series will love this title just as they have with every other past title.

It offers a great coop mode that's lots of fun and good storyline as you can always expect from any assassins creed title. Only reason I didn't give it a 10 is because of the bugs and because I felt main story wise it could have been a lot longer and should be something I hope they deliver better on with next assassins creed title.

    Lastly I want to add that assassins creed is for the fans of the series and players that honestly just want and is looking for more of the assassins creed game they love along with of course a new continued main storyline and some newly added on improvements to the current game design and system that is already proven and works. To me that's always a good recipe for a good to great game and it works it doesn't have to be entirely new or different since its a sequel not a completely new game.

    I don't get how can this game get so much hate. True, it isn't the best game in the franchise, but nor is it the worst.
    Let's start with the good things first: -new challenging combat system
    -good, intriguing story -beautiful graphics -advanced stealth play -awesome, diversified side missions -smooth gameplay ( at least in my case) -cool customization menu And now for the bad

    -too many collectibles
    -the main story is too short
    -the modern day story is equal to zero (worse than it is in AC IV)
    -a little buggy in some parts
    Overall, I enjoyed the game, but I hope that in the next one they'll put more effort in it.

    Lets face it, AC is a recurring game, and in that alone there has to be faults. It isn't a 10/10, however neither is it a 2/10. If I had not given this game time to fix its numerous glitches and bugs, then I would have given it an average, so-so 5/10; a great idea held back by bugs. But now, almost deprived of technical issues, it can truly be appreciated for the good game it is. It has aLets face it, AC is a recurring game, and in that alone there has to be faults.

But now, almost deprived of technical issues, it can truly be appreciated for the good game it is. It has a deep and amazing customization system, so much so that I find myself constantly changing clothes and colours depending on my mood. It has a much more sensible skill tree that gives you choice and makes sense. It has fun, open ended missions, a copious amount of weapons, including sword-staffs, a katana, spears, maces and even a pink bejewelled sceptre and a carved human bone. The nay few complaints I have is another overused origin story and impossible missions unless you play them in coop! But the amount of pure depth and content in this awesome open-world stealth epic surpasses that easily, making this a great game. 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.
