    Much promised and kept nothing.

    Technically better than the PC version but still far away from what we were promised at gaming conventions. The frame rate is ridiculous.
    Otherwise, the game features the old boring things that already had the predecessor.

    OK, I had not played an AC game since the first one on PC so I was expecting some true next gen experience here. Alas, I was extremely disappointed.

    First of all, the frame rate drops on PS4 are just out of this world, it feels sluggish and there are so many visual bugs that it is impossible not to feel pulled away from game play. Game world seems alive and beautiful but so unpolished and unfinished I don't know what Ubisoft was thinking.

    Combat is a bit better than before but when you have experienced combat in Demon's Souls and such this feels like a 3 year old trying to put a square in a triangle hole.

    Storywise there's nothing worth noting and no real involvement with France's real history which is a shame.

    OK, game is disappointing overall and feels unfinished and rushed down. There are microtransactions in game which is stupid to say the least, even more after Projekt Red (creators of The Witcher games) have announced that all DLC for The Witcher 3 are going to be for FREE. Take note Ubisoft.

    Final comment: Do not buy, rent first and see for yourself if it is worth it or not.    … Expand

It is not that the game is inherently bad, but that Ubisoft made a good game bad in the worst way possible, by pushing micro-transactions and their **** companion app. I feel robbed and cheated, having my Assassin experience in France trifled by chests that "only open from the Fück You© companion app," which is loaded with micro-transaction BS itself, and takes up half a gigabyte in storage. The in-game accessories to upgrade Arno the most either require a ridiculous amount of in-game currency, or can be "hacked" for a fee. What bull ****.
    While most of the game plays fairly well, there is constant frame tearing and the new combat and parkour systems just feel sloppy and unpolished. I understand that a blockbuster of a game needs to turn a profit, but for Ubisoft to bend over and **** its fans for every nickle and dime is most certainly not the way it should be done. Rant over. Don't buy this, get Halo Master Chief collection, like I wish I had.    … Expand

My response: I'm not redoing 99% of my game just to find out the lag and not being able to sync to the companion app is still there! Sick of the spinoffs, sick of corporate greed rushing these unfinished/untested games...sick of companies not taking responsibility for their actions and issuing a recall, which is what should of been done in this game.

I had heard so many bad things about Unity, so I treaded with caution. Thr thing is, it didn't even meet those expectations. The story is bland and forgettable, the characters are uninteresting, and the game just looks visually boring, with grey, black, and brown making up most of the game. But those aren't the biggest complaints I have. Those would be the combat and the stealth, the two most important parts. The combat just feels sluggish and unresponsive; oftentimes the parry feature doesn't work despite the player mashing the parry button as soon as the opponent's health bar lights up. The cover system also ruins the great stealth system found in Black Flag. And last, but certainly not least: MICROTRANSACTIONS? IN MY FULL-PRICE GAME? What a joke. Black Flag gave false hope. Don't buy this game. Actually, don't even rent it, unless you just want achievements. A major disappointment, for sure.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I dreamed of playing this game, because the setting of revolutionary France is one of the coolest eras in history. You expect from the game the maximum immersion in this era, you are in intrigue, waiting for the characters from the previous parts to appear, for example, Shay, but no, the game is completely different, no historical parallels in the plot for you, as it was perfectly done in 2 parts with the family Borgia, no connection with the previous series of the game, the plot is the most stupid in the entire assassin's series, the characters are very boring. Missions and combat in the game are boring instantly, despite the fact that in all series you need to clear enemy points, kill guards, etc., but in Unity, this system is implemented worst of all, it feels like you go through one and the same mission, the locations just change slightly, but the level design is the same. In general, after this game, I think twice whether it is worth buying a new game about assassins. 4/10 due to beautiful graphics.… Expand

It improves slightly as the story progresses but never to the degree that satisfies.

    The bad: Firstly, the story is kind of blah once you get past the intro. In 1 & 2, the build ups to assassinations were epic and it felt like you were doing something huge. In this, it's kind of like, "okay, I guess we'll kill that guy now."  Secondly, the main character isn't likeable at all. He comes off as a whiney, spoiled brat! It'd be one thing if he matured throughout the game, but he doesnt! Thirdly, the free running and climbing controls still feel sticky. After countless titles in this series, how is this still an issue? Lastly, the vast majority of side quests and co-op missions aren't fun, they feel like they were quickly added as filler and just like the other AC games, the collectables aren't worth it.

    The ugly: Glitches, glitches and more glitches that STILL exist well over a month since it's release! (See other reviews or hell, the article on cracked dot com to learn about what's wrong with this game). Also, you know what isn't fun? Having to screw around on two different dumb websites and an awful mobile app to unlock a big chunk of in game collectables. What were they thinking?

    In conclusion: Ubisoft clearly has a blatant disregard for consumers by releasing this game too soon. I feel bad for the people who put hard work into this game only to have Ubisoft swoop in and go "okay! It's time! Has to be out by November no matter what!"

Notwithstanding the horrible FPS at release, the controls on this game are sloppy and character handling are very poor, especially when you are presented with tight situations where your character has multiple things going on (ie, a large fight where you have to go after one target, yet your character keeps attacking other things despite your input), poor handling on wall climbing (your character will jump to places you aren't trying to move to...) - so I have to say this alone makes this game a less than stellar experience for me, but there are other things about this game that bother me, such getting put in missions back-after-back without having a place nearby to restock on supplies and then finding yourself surrounded by hundreds of guards and dying repeatedly. However, the silver lining is that I do like the graphics on this game, and the open world experience, but the missions, storyline and plot are the same as almost every other AC game. I think they were on to something when the introduced Naval Combat in AC3, Rogue and Black Flag, but then this extra sort of activity thing to keep the games fresh was phased out and they went back to their same old hack, slash follow and stealth routine which has more or less killed it off for me being the same old same old. Multiplayer i'm sure is nice for some people (not me, I prefer not to play my missions with some teenage kid yelling obscenities into his microphone - kinda ruins the enjoyability factor of most of my games.) so really, this game has added nothing for me to the series, and made me feel as though Ubisoft needs to start working on other projects and end with the AC series if they are going to keep going in this direction.

    Not at all the game I was hoping it to be. I've run into countless bugs, poor collision detection with NPCs, frame-rate that ranges from okay to abysmal, and not had a whole lot of fun with the actual game.

    Same gameplay from the last 5 assasin's creed ... This is a joke, all assasin's creed are the same: repetitive, boring, toooooooo easy with a really stupid IA and no challenge, same moves and animations ...

    If you're playing in Pc expect heavy fps drops. Even with a great graphic card this game doesn't run as smooth as it should. Thanks again Ubisoft

    Micro-transactions?!! Are you kidding me?!! Absolute trash. Assassin's Creed: Unity is a money-grab so dirty and disgusting that other disgusting money-grabs feel clean. One transaction alone costs $99!!!

    Words that describe this rip-off game: Wretched, Disgusting, Rotten, Foul, Vomit and Puss.

    30 fps 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.

    First off, if you truly wanna know what it feels like to face marine snipes without having to risk your life in real life, purchase ACU. The enemies will bend bullets like in the film wanted for a quarter mile away. Unless you sell your soul to the macro-transactions, you will be a useless little turd of a character. Not to mention Arno's pure unadulterated hate for logical parkour. Unless you practice a parkour session in the free roam for 3 hours in between missions you will never master it. The controls for navigating even the most linear areas are just plain unusable.

    There are still core issues that the game does not even address. Which **** at the studio suggests that they need to change the wall drop styles every year? Also, the huge inconsistancies in your characters parkour abilities. One moment he leaps 40 feet onto another ledge (no exaggeration); then proceeds to show no ability to progress a climb over a 10 foot wall with a box touching it.

    Secondly, This game has nothing to do with the French Revolution. It is just sort of a background for your petty interactions. Then occasionally you jump into 1996 for some "Quantum Leap" and go into Paris in different times for God knows why (until later). While the usage of the machine gun on to shoot down German planes in WW2 was cool, it so out of place with the serious (and rather tedious). Why they advertised this as a history-heavy game I do not know.
    Finally, the god-damn missions. If you are not like me (exceptional at AC games) you will take upwards of an hour to complete small part of a sequence past 2-3. Killing certain figures takes 30 mins to prep the kills and another 5 to finish it. Sounds short, but when you feel how laborious that 35 mins was you will know. The co-op is okay, but the chance of finding someone any good at navigating the buildings and missions depends on your distance to an ivy-league university. Ubisoft knew the game wasn't finished in that matter so they simply took one from EA's playbook, and included absurd weapons for $10 +. I give the game a 1 because if you are intoxicated enough to play it again the wonky controls are a good laugh.    … Expand

Freezing, crashing, huge game sizes that took 14 hours to install on 75mbps FIOS (installed the AC bundle that came with my unit and bang, 20% of your HDD is full, really?) low frame rates and very clunky controls are just a few of my least favorite things. The camera is very slow and sluggish and will arbitrarily decide where to point as you run along. It also will affect the frame rate a lot if you turn up both the X and Y axis sensitivity. And I don’t mean in a good way. The part where you play as the child in the beginning is especially annoying for these reasons. Having to press and hold up to 3 buttons at once all the time in order to do the simple things in this game, such as moving or climbing, gets old really really fast. Having to hold the right trigger the whole time to run is also something that really makes me scratch my head. I think this is a mechanic from the other games, it’s the only thing I can come up with for something that clunky being in a AAA, big-budget sequel. Analog sticks are very useful at doing things which can easily replace having to hold buttons down to accomplish.

    The combat is the worst I have ever played in a 3rd person game. When you hit the parry button, the game’s engine stops and thinks about it for a second, same with attacking and dodging. I also do not like how the controls constantly change whenever a scene change occurs, which is probably why they put something in the upper right corner, because how else can anyone tell how to play this game? Climbing? Controls are different. Weapon unsheathed? Controls are different. And so on…

    The music is also not very good on this game. I am left feeling boring and uninterested and music is what gives movies games and TV shows their excitement and passion. Watch a movie or show sometime without the music on and you will know what I am talking about. This game is boring and has no spirit even with the music playing. Not to mention that the game does not play any idle music while you are standing around looking at things or walking through Paris, but will play music the ENTIRE time that you have this game on your home screen and it is still running. This game wants you to pay attention to it really bad, but doesn’t want you to notice that it is both ugly AND singing out of tune.

    The worst bug I have experienced and the one that is especially worrisome to me is that this game will crash and take my console with it, causing me to cycle the power in order to restore normal operation. I know that at some point pulling the plug repeatedly to accommodate crap games will cause the console to physically fail. I have close to 20 years in the IT field, and have never seen anything quite like the shenanigans that game companies pull with their big releases and their console hardware. It really does boggle the mind. I am pretty sure that there are patches that have been out for a while and I know that the Xbox installed one the other night, so why is this game still such a mess and not fun?

    Having never played an Assassin’s Creed game up until this point, I do not really see the draw here. Is this a stealth game? A coop multiplayer experience? A third person RPG? A shooter? The other thing that this game introduces into the console arena is micro transactions in a AAA game. I think that sentence speaks for itself and this trend needs to stay on phone and tablet games as there is no place for charging extra money on a game that has a huge budget, a full retail price and from a company with a lot of money in the bank. I think a lot of reviewers and fans who rated these AC games quite high base their reviews on their experience and their love of the previous installments. Or they are paid for their high scores, as I cannot see any other reason for having such glaringly obvious blinders on. This game is terrible and Ubisoft deserves to not be rewarded for putting out this crap. To sum up, this game falls into none of the current genres and somehow tries to represent all of them at same time without being able to do any of them well or consistently. This game replaces fun and entertainment with tediousness, repetition and a façade of being graphically next-gen.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Well...Let us start this review with a small intro to my reasons for writing this. I love the Assassin's Creed Series and I absolutely would be an Assassin.

    ***SPOILERS***

    However, in the new game, Arno, is a Frenchman who has a tendency to steal before joining the assassins and I thought that was the coolest thing. After playing a few minutes, I noticed that a few chests could not be opened because I need an app on my phone to open them.

    This is a f*cking hassel. Don't even bother because the chests don't count toward sync.

    Moving on, next, I've noticed while free running that Arno is a bit grabby. While in previous games, the free run element has been more free, Arno seems to want to stay off the ground as much as possible. When the player holds down the free run key and tries to lower themselves to the ground, Arno takes more time and if trying to wall eject to the ground, Arno will grab the building across.

    P.S: You have to buy many skills that are essential to making the game fun as well as playable. The player must buy skills such as Roll Recovery. Rolling once hitting the ground.

    Finally, I'll just say the combat in this game sucks. Straight up. Once again I'll note previous games. In previous games such as Assassin's Creed III, Connor could take on armies of enemies because he could use people as human shields and if you spammed the "parry" button during combat, you were literally invincible. Now however, Arno just feels like using human shields is SO cliche and you do not even have the choice to perform the defensive move. Also, Arno cannot whistle. If you are hiding in a haystack or behind a corner, Arno cannot whistle to call enemies to "kill" range.

    This makes the game all around more challenging as well as a huge waste of time.

    Finally Part 2: Game mechanics.
    I died in a mission because the combat obviously sucks, but that's besides my final point.
    If Arno is roaming the streets, Extremists, or the people dressed in red, yell slurs at Arno and no one else. And to make it worse, they become aggressive and walk up to Arno unless he runs away. Now, once I respawned, I spawned next to 3 of these Extremists. They did not take kindly to my existence and skipped the slurs and just attacked me. Now, one just decided that they would go off screen and shoot me. Wonderful. I rage quit and will probably never play the game again.

    They only reason that I am giving this review a 1 is because the economy system is quite nice. I don't know any of my friends who are poor on the game because Arno owns a Cafe/Theater. The Cafe brings in revenue and it all goes to Arno. That's freaking awesome.

    Well, I hope at least one person reads this and saves their money on buying a sh*tty game. :D

I had to restart the game just to continue. After it happened again I turned the game off and let it sit for awhile hoping thee publisher would create an update for the report of the bugs occurring.

    Wait a few more months and updates occurring for the game I gave it another shot. This time I got stuck trying to climb over a wall. In fact I kept climbing up the wall and stuck in mid air. Not holding onto anything. Another restart and again more bugs and glitches. This turned me off of the franchise and wish I never played this game.

So you're only hope while in combat is to mash the "A" button hoping that the enemy dies before he can retaliate. Also the "stealth combat" or whatever is broken. I press the "b" button which is SUPPOSE to knock someone out but it doesn't work at ALL, Doesn't work when I'm crouched, doesn't work when I'm standing up, the only time it works is when I run and tackle but when I do that everyone magically detects me even though I'm the only guy in a 50 meter radius. The "stealth" is also a joke. Only one guy in a room and he see's me dart behind a table. Does he go investigate? No he goes back to looking out a window even though there's clearly someone else in the room with him. And other times I can be sticking my head into a guards rectum and he won't detect me. It's only if I'm in front of him so as long as your holding down left trigger your good to go. You can also never tell where to go because half the time they don't tell you when your in a general area and your "eagle vision" doesn't show you anyone. It doesn't help that every building and interior looks the same.

    Absolutely the worse AC of them all, The game is not optimized and runs less than 30 fps on consoles not to mention horrible lag on PC. I do not recommend this purchase to anyone of the series, stay away. Ubisoft has done it's great deed again.

The Uplay items I bought for unity were unlocked on Uplay and not synced in game. I also cannot unlock Unity App chests unless I unlock them in the Unity App but it doesn't tell you how. None of the chests have a level icon on the map or a "mouseover" to see whether or not I've unlocked them in the App so I end up spending tons of time running back and forth to chests I already looked at.

    Soooo much money-grubbing - I paid 1.99 for the App because I wanted to get to the stuff in the XBOXONE game I already paid 60 bucks for as fast as I could. If I want to get the best gear I need to either spend real money on Helix points to "hack" the item or grind monsters. It is all the worst components of MMOs without the community. And don't forget the season pass I bought so that I could actually get all the content that was originally intended for the game.

    Game was untested - As a fan I would have STFU had the game not been nearly unplayable. Falling through the world instead of climbing. Getting physically stuck in the tutorial, losing hours worth of progress, buggy AI (seriously try and fight near all the little props on corners).

    I wanted to love this game. I wanted to play with friends but I cannot in good faith recommend this game to anyone except as an abject lesson in bad design (combat is a mess), bad QA (sooo many bugs), bad publishing (Press embargo until after launch because they knew what shape it was in).    … Expand

    With all the performance issues I had a difficult time even getting far enough in to the game to develop any opinion of the game play. Given that, the game play was not significantly improved upon over the previous incarnations of this series.

Given that, the game play was not significantly improved upon over the previous incarnations of this series. With all of Ubisoft's talking about the engine and changes to the game play I found it to be less than spectacular, or even really all that fun since I had "been there, seen that" in previous games. Add the hefty performance issues that rally draw into question the level of effort put in to even trying to make the game playable, and this one is a complete non-starter.

    If you absolutely *must* play another Assassin's Creed game, I strongly suggest waiting a few weeks/months to get all the problems dealt with *or* simply wait for the next iteration of the franchise.    … Expand

    PLEASE STOP LISTENING TO CRITICS, they're on Ubisofts payslip to be calling this game playable.
    This game is not even finished, its a massive step back from black flag, the graphics are awful and far from next gen (XB1). But the worst is the framerate which makes the game unplayable.

    Worst assassins creed ever. DO NOT GIVE UBISOFT YOUR MONEY, they are screwing you, the customer, over

    Buggy, boring, repetitive garbage. ""nihil novi sub sole" seems to be Ubisoft's new business motto. Worst entry in the series to date. I hope ubisoft (and it's customers) learn a valuable lesson from this heap of rubbish.

    HUGE step backwards in progress. poor programming, glitchy as hell. your character sucks unless you are willing to pay. Arno won't deliver kill blows because he's too busy prancing about like a frilly Frenchman. I love the series but this installment was so frustratingly poor i had to **** to the internet. This is the absolute worst game in entire series.

    Paris shows some promise, but it's hard to enjoy a game when it's so nauseating, even if it does suggest a return to the series' best ideas. Maybe next year. [Issue#119, p.65]
