    Assassin's Creed Unity Review:

    Assassin's Creed Unity really looks good in the 2020s, despite being released in 2014. 2014 has been an underappreciated year for Ubisoft, like these games Watch Dogs, Far Cry 4, Assassin's Creed Unity, and even Assassin's Creed Rogue.

    Assassin's Creed Unity really looks good in the 2020s, despite being released in 2014. 2014 has been an underappreciated year for Ubisoft, like these games Watch Dogs, Far Cry 4, Assassin's Creed Unity, and even Assassin's Creed Rogue. All of them received a polarizing reception, but out of these games, Watch Dogs has been my favorite, and Assassin's Creed Unity disappointed me. It had a weak cast, slow and confusing combat system, and a horrendous story. But I have to appreciate for its soundtrack, Paris setting, and the parkour system, which is the best. I'm not the biggest fan of Arno, but he had an interesting backstory, which can possibly lead to a sequel of him against his father's murderer, Shay Patrick Cormac, with the help of Aveline De Grandpre and Connor Kenway. The combat system looked realistic and stylish, but there is no button to dodge bullets or bombs, and Syndicate has significantly improved it. The parkour system had loads of cool moves. Overall, Assassin's Creed Unity has deeply disappointed me, and I'm going to rate it a 6.1/10.    … Expand

    I bought this game for $8 in 2023 and I still should’ve gotten it cheaper. Look, it’s old and it wasn’t polished when it came out either.

Even if you change the language to French it’s clearly Québécois… cmon… how many games have they at least attempted to include regionally appropriate accents in their dialogue? Seems like it was a rushed cash grab that, thanks to suckers like me, is still bringing in cash.… Expand

    On a Xbox Series X you always get 60 FPS and that's a game changer... also you can now buy the game and its expansion "Dead kings" for a total of at about 2 Euros (yep, two Euros) on many websites.

    About the story... well, it is an AC so read the previous comments... but considering it costs almost nothing now, 60 FPS and all the glitches fixed it is a good deal if you never played it before.

    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.    … 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

    The most beautiful and historical AC game so far. But still glitchy in 2021 (played it on Series X).

    Pros: * The game looks great. Arno is handsome. * Paris really came alive. Crowds add to the vibe. And historical period and references make it an interesting place to be in. * Arno is a good protagonist (not a charismatic type like Ezio, more a silent type like Gordon Freeman). Also,    The most beautiful and historical AC game so far. But still glitchy in 2021 (played it on Series X).

    Pros:
    * The game looks great. Arno is handsome.
    * Paris really came alive. Crowds add to the vibe. And historical period and references make it an interesting place to be in.
    * Arno is a good protagonist (not a charismatic type like Ezio, more a silent type like Gordon Freeman). Also, Bellec steals a lot of the spotlight.
    * I did enjoy the murder mystery side missions. They're not complex, but make feel the city more lived in (if you allow me to say it like this :)
    * Getting 100% achievements is possible without entering a world of pain (it's not that fun and mostly repetitive though)
    * Assassination missions make a come back from AC1, and they're good. Not Hitman level good, but AC level good. The core mechanics never were a strong part of the series.

    Cons:
    * The game is still glitchy, even 7 years after the release. Don't get me wrong, it's totally playable. Just the immersion breaks regularly. Also, Quick Resume doesn't work in this game. It tries to reconnect to Ubisoft servers and then freezes.
    * In general, the game lack a lot of polish. E.g. character animation are very slow, so I was dropping two smoke bombs instead of one all the time. The characters in crowds spawn sporadically, teleport and change appearance all the time. And this list goes on and on.
    * Free-running feels great for the first hour. But then you realize that entering window and avoiding objects along your route is painful. Every time I was detected due to controls, not my mistakes or lack of tactics. That doesn't motivate you to plat this game like a stealth game.
    * Nostradamus puzzles are a missed opportunity. Like the third of them is great, the other third lazy, and the last third just awful.
    * In general, most of the side missions and coop missions are not that interesting. I think, starting with the next game, I'll stop to aim for 100% completion.    … Expand

    This is a late review, but more for me just to vent frustration. I loved the prior games in the series. This one is a total slog. The one thing no one mentions is the one shot kill from a guy off screen. When I die it is always from someone completely off screen and generally up on a roof. Cheap kills and beyond annoying. By far my least favorite in the series.

    This game was not as good as Assassin's Creed Rogue, which I thought was the best of the games that I played. This game was boring. Game mechanics were confusing. The story felt like it pulled situations out of the air just to have a situation to force the plot forward. The romance in the game was very unsatisfying. The game was just hot trash all around.

The story felt like it pulled situations out of the air just to have a situation to force the plot forward. The romance in the game was very unsatisfying. The game was just hot trash all around. What keeps this score from going any lower is a convincing open-world, excellent graphics (for its time, but it still looks good today), and the outfits.

    Other than the stupid story, what really kills this game is the co-op missions and the costumes and weapons that are required to purchase with one of two currencies to make your gameplay easier. The weapons were not different enough, and they felt unfair to use depending on the level of what character you engaged in combat with. This was too different from Rogue, and I don't like it.

    Did I get my money's worth? I think so, because I bought it off G2A for less than $2.    … Expand

Исторические события в данной части, пожалуй, наиболее интересно и правдоподобно проистекают на протяжении всего игрового процесса - многое от взятия Бастилии до казни Людовика XVI. Ощущается прямо вот вся эта причастность к реальным событиям. Сюжет игры не самый захватывающий, но вполне себе сносный. Баги все на месте, ура, только даже ради них стоит пройти эту часть))) В Unity впервые мы можем проникать в дома, срезать себе путь через них и это действительно интересно, хотя, например, попасть в то же окно иногда бывает сложнее чем просто обойти дом, это проблемы корявого управления. Основная кампания вкупе с допами и любопытной боевой системой, которая отличается от предыдущих частей как бы-то ни было затягивает. Да это явно не лучшая часть ассасинская, но она не бесит так же как третья или убогая Liberation! Так что как итог: погамали не восторженно, но с интересом.… Expand
