    probably my favorite AC yet. Beautifully rendered Paris, tons of content, detailed animation, and a revamped traversal system that makes running across the city a joy. It feels like a true sequel to ACII, much more than III or IV did.

    This game, like many others before it, is being targeted by the vocal internet trolls who love to hate, bash and exaggerate.

    Does Unity have some bugs? Yes, but they aren't nearly as bad as some of these people would lead you to believe. They are the sort of harmless bugs I see in most complex open world games.

    All I know is that Unity runs very well on my PC considering how amazing it looks. And I am enjoying the game immensely. The story is the best yet in the series, in my opinion. I'm drawn in and legitimately want to know what happens next. It doesn't hurt that the cutscenes are so gobsmackingly beautiful.

    The gameplay is also the best in the series for me. The combat is harder and requires more skill and focus. I've actually died quite a few times in this game, which generally doesn't happen much to me in other AC games.

    The traversal is generally much smoother and more refined this time. The animations are incredibly detailed and varied and there is a greater sense of freedom of movement. Sometimes when using the controlled descent mechanics your character will kind of float unnaturally sideways as he is descending, but that is the only niggle I have with the new mechanics. Being able to climb up, over and around things so fluidly makes me feel like spiderman. I also like the fact that you can now enter so many buildings and use them as pathways while traversing through the city.

    Stealth has been improved dramatically. Finally we can crouch and take cover behind objects, which opens up all kinds of neat gameplay scenarios in the game. It's finally a proper stealth game. There is also a "last known position" mechanic, similar to that found in the recent Splinter Cell games, and it works well and allows you to use it to your advantage to attract and slip away from enemies.

    The mission structure is a lot better and more flexible than in previous entries. You are given a certain mission, but it can dynamically change this time. You aren't stuck completing it only one predefined way. There is also a much greater variety of different side missions you can tackle in the game. It all makes the game so addictive.

    As far as the visuals, all I can say is 'wow'. I can say without any hesitation nor hint of exaggeration that this is the best looking game I have played on PC. The lighting, shading and materials all look stunning. It's filled with detailed textures, volumetric smoke and fog, extremely detailed character models, the most realistic hair I've seen in a game, lots of neat shader work, and a host of advanced post effects.

    So far it is easily the best game in the series for me and one of the best games I've played this year.    … Expand

    Furthermore, while the microtransactions might look like a way to cash in, it is mostly a way to enhance the game even further.
    Ubisoft has made far more than sixty dollars worth of game, and therefore, you get to pay for the extra gameplay you want to have (the main storyline is worth at least eighty dollars in time, joy and beauty, so you're already getting some bang for your buck.)

    And really, were you expecting anything less from the makers of such classics as Watch-Dogs, the Far Cry series (especially 4) and, well, Assasins Creed?
    The storyline is impeccable (as always), co-op is tons of fun, and the entire game feels... next-gen.

    And as I said, I was expecting Unity to be terrible, and you know why?
    The countless trolls who berate the game for things I haven't even encountered within the game, the people who hack into the game to change fundamental parts of the game and then make 'bug videos' showcasing all the (alleged) bugs all to get views and make money off of the bad publicity this game gets.
    And that's terrible.

    And by 'that' I mean 'this game' and by 'terrible' I mean 'is awful and boring' and by the rest of the review I mean I haven't even bought the game.

And since I have played EVERY iteration of the series, I was looking at Unity from a different perspective. I wanted to see if it truly plays like a next gen game and it does...very well. The first thing I noticed was that there are a lot of people, everywhere you go. And I mean a lot. I recall in previous versions of the game that the further you progressed, the more people you would have to navigate through. In the first hour of the game, I have bounced off and worked through thousands of citizens, and it doesn't feel too cluttered. I have noticed some minor glitches running through the crowds (sometimes people further away appear from seemingly nowhere) but frankly it seems to serve as a subtle reminder that I am in the animus and there is a bigger game being played around me.

    When I play AAA games, I love to see if I am going to get bored quickly, and in Unity, there is plenty to do. The control schematic people have complained about is actually very sound. Trust me...there were a lot more control issues in black flag (how many times did you have to restart a mission because you fell to your death trying to descend a large mast?) and unity provides a much smoother experience than previous games. For veteran Creed players, there is a small learning curve because intuitively, you just want to run head on into walls to jump up, but there are now specific controls to do so. It took a few attempts to get used to it, but it is pretty easy once you get there.

    The landscapes are massive and beautiful. The characters are the best I have seen in the new generation consoles (although it seems that producing realistic hair is going to be a continued challenge). The story has a familiar feel to when we first met Ezio as opposed to Kenway, but it is fun to play through his progression. I am very satisfied with the game. In response to the micro transactions, here's an idea...actually play through the game and earn your gear. This game is one that needs to be experienced and soaked up at an in depth pace. I have taken some time with it, and feel like I have just scratched the surface and can't wait to enjoy this game for hours on end. I am giving this game a perfect score, because I can't think of anything I would add to the experience. Best next gen game to date by far.    … Expand

The game is so fluid and it is evident that each of the game's major features has been entirely overhauled. This game is an incredibly refreshing and welcome installment in the franchise.

This is my very first review here being I did not have that opportunity this time. I still wanted to see what people thought, so I came to read some of the reviews. Now, who am I to tell someone what they should think of a game? I can only and will only speak for myself when I tell you that I don't think this game deserves any less than a 7 from anyone for many reasons. Biggest one being that this is one HELL of a game. I absolutely love it thus far. The movement/free running is the most fluid I've seen in any Assassin's game. Other than the very first entry, I've played them all, and this is by far the best. Graphically, it looks amazing. People who are rating this game a 0 are definitely hating on the game for reasons unbeknownst to myself. I think some people have these super high unrealistic expectations that these "new gen" systems are supposed to have graphics and movement like real life tv shows, and they very easily forget that it's STILL A GAME!!! There is so much content in this game its mind boggling, 1 of every 4 buildings is able to be passed through, or even open to explore. THAT'S what the new gen systems are doing. You couldn't possibly fit everything in this game on a 360 version, hence why we got 2 titles this year. This game is fantastic, and every minute that I've played so far, I've felt like I got my money's worth. The sound is A-1, graphically you'd be very hard pressed to find something better, I mean what other game can show you a whole crowd of 100+ people and all have distinguished facial features? Gameplay is phenomenal, and I would recommend this to anyone that is into action/adventure games like this. Now, whether you not you take my advice is obviously totally up to you, but remember one thing, I gain nothing by "selling" you a game, and still gain nothing by bashing a game that doesn't deserve it. This game isn't perfect, but name 1 that is? Even the games with a "10" rating are still very flawed, just look at GTA V. This game is a solid 9.5, but since I can't do .5, I'll make it an even 10 to combat these ridiculous idiotic reviews. Play the game, you'll love it!… Expand

In contrast to what many people are saying, I find the story to be excellent. Sure the frame rate drops here and there but its barely noticeable and can easily be fixed in a patch, which is what Ubisoft has already said they will do. Also the grudges against microtransactions make no sense, as they are only an option for those who do not want to put the time in to earn all the items themselves. You can easily obtain all the items in the game with a little bit of time put into it, which isn't at all a chore since this game is so excellent. If you don't want to do that, you are defeating the purpose of playing games in the first place.

    My advice is, if you are at all interested in this game/the AC series, do not listen to all of these haters, as in my opinion, their scores and arguments are completely unjustified.

    I don't understand how people can complain that there is an AC game released every year and that they're repetitive when you have such new and amazingly detailed architecture and full cities being rendered and populated, along with great acting, stories and side stories... The more I play this game, the more it pulls me in.
    I have to admit that initially it took me a while to get into the game, as it nearly always does with AC games, but once you get the hang of it and start improving your character and weapons, it just becomes a blast, the city of Paris is truly your playground! Along with the fast travel ability and new mission types such as murder mysteries and riddles, the game never really feels old nor boring and gives you a great variety of tasks to break up the monotony that has plagued other similar mission-based games.
    Keep those AC games coming Ubisoft (even though I did wait and buy the game with a great discount!) and we'll keep buying them. I really want the next AC game to be set in WW2 Europe, it would be amazing to have to find and assassinate Hitler in his bunker at the end of the game and lends itself quite well to the templars and assassins and the (crazy) ideas and ideals of the Nazis!    … Expand

Uma única vez que tive de fechar o jogo pq o personagem ' afundou' no teto de uma cabana durante a missão e em outras foram mais engraçados as situações, ou o personagem congelava durante a queda ou um outra dava uma breve ' doideira ' ... nada que prejudicasse a jogatina ,

    Excellent game, one of my favourites in the series. I understand that there is a lot of hate towards the game as a number of people experienced issues or glitches. I'm not sure if this is on the PC or PS4 as I did not experience any issues whatsoever on Xbox One.

    The graphics and lighting are very well done and the amount of detail which has gone into the creating of the map is incredible. As an architecture student, I really appreciate the details which has gone into each landmark and building within the city.

    The story is compelling, although there are similarities to Assassin's Creed 2 in the narrative. Character customisation is a nice addition to the game. I would however prefer it if some of the better looking items weren't only available through the online co-op as it is difficult to find a game. Also the incorporation of the companion app and initiates leaves a lot to be desired and can be quite frustrating. The new combat system can take some getting used to but I feel it can be much more rewarding once mastered.

    On a final note, I have played all of the games in the series and am a huge Assassin's Creed fan. I feel this is a huge improvement over the games set in the Americas as it goes back to the large urban routes of the series, where the game feels much more at home. I do not feel this game deserves all the negative reviews.

    Hope this was helpful, please give the game a chance!    … Expand

    Today at night I 3 th times has passed this game. Idiots insulted this game: lag, not FPS etc.
    But no one suka noticed how great the culture is hidden in every detail of this game: the music, the atmosphere, even the mags, blyat'!
    People appreciate THE WHOLE game, not just optimization, and not every year will eat AC Origins in which the plot is terrible.

    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]

    As the first next-gen addition to the series Unity is a stepping stone on the way to something outstanding, but not an outstanding game in its own right. [13/2014, p.32]

    If you're invested in the classic AC style, this will do the trick. You'll love being a part of Ubisoft's Paris. [Jan 2015, p.68]
