    Overall, a pretty decent addition to Assassin's Creed Unity. Maybe a bit too heavy on puzzles, and there's barely any story, but if you enjoy the traditional AC experience, this will make up for some entertaining 24 hours (the approximate amount of time to complete 100%).

    A very good piece of DLC in my honest opinion, the whole dark underground was refreshing to explore and the lantern is a good addition to Arno's equipment.

    A very good piece of DLC in my honest opinion, the whole dark underground was refreshing to explore and the lantern is a good addition to Arno's equipment.

    +Very well crafted atmosphere.
    +Fun and actually challenging enemies.
    +Well done cast of supporting characters throughout(Leon was very funny)
    +Guillotine gun was actually a lot of fun.
    +Arno in my opinion really develops as a character and for me that was nice because I liked him in the main game.

    -It was good all bit short
    -Enough with the puzzles ubisoft. A puzzle here and there is fine but it gets tiresome fast
    -In the trailer a face mask/ski mask was shown and I actually looked forward to that a great deal but it was absent from the DLC.
    -Amount of work needed to get the DLC weapons is annoying. Way too man collectibles as usual in AC games.
    -Sometimes Franciade feels a bit like a dark and gloomy Paris
    -More new gear such as armours and weapons would have been nice

    Overall 8/10 For a free DLC it can hold its own
    The story told was in my opinion very well done all though I was left with a question or two.
    I played on the PS4 and I experienced 0 crashes and 0 fps drops.

    The Atmosphere is fantastic, graphics are stunning as well as in the main game. Also I was happy to see Napoleon and liked well-crafted dungeons part. But the tricks with the apple are become more and more boring.

    It carries you over to a drab, sad place and tells a story that doesn’t make sense. Maybe it would be best – both for Ubisoft and players – to just forget about Unity? [03/2014, p.72]

    Dead Kings adds new weapons and puzzles to Assassin´s Creed Unity gameplay, with a darker approach and a couple of surprises for the fans. But still it has a poor storyline.

    Assassin's Creed Unity: Dead Kings surprised us as a solid and rich in content DLC, offering new challenge, a new and destructive weapon and numerous side quests that engage players for 6 to 8 hours: a good amount of time for what is a free DLC.
