    It's a perfect example of how Ubisoft's insistence to annualise the series has backfired, as it's clearly an unfinished product. While it manages to both refine and add to the franchise's formula with enjoyable co-op, missions that encourage experimentation, and a few accessible RPG mechanics, we simply can't guarantee that your experience won't be plagued by problems both big and small.

    Assassin’s Creed Unity is a beautiful game that’s fun to play with friends. It’s also an outmoded mess that incenses with its dated controls and shoves Ubisoft’s executive-minded priorities directly in the player’s face. It’s not difficult to see why some people refer to this publisher’s recent releases under the blanket name of Ubisoft: The Game, because the company makes itself hard to ignore in every experience.

    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. Perhaps we expected too much and hoped for a lot more out of the co-op experience, but it just doesn’t stand up to our expectations. So it’s funny that the backdrop is the French Revolution, since it doesn’t do too much that could be construed as revolutionary.

    Unity is an impressive technical achievement despite its issues, and it is certainly a significant step forward for the series as a whole. The difficulty of combat encourages use of the overhauled stealth system, perhaps signalling a shift towards a real focus on stealthy gameplay in the series, which is certainly exciting. And on top of that, it’s utterly gorgeous almost all the time.

    It's a solid campaign elevated by quality assassination missions and an extraordinary setting that might just push the big number at the bottom of this review into the 80s, but with a big selling point out of operation, a raft of technical issues, performance problems, microtransactions and stilted combat and freerunning systems, Unity—in its current state—can only be considered a failed revolution. What a shame.

    Unity is an attempt to get back to the basics of stealth-action, and there are a lot of subtle upgrades that make the formula feel freshly tailored for this new generation. This is an extremely ambitious, beautiful game that you can spend a lot of time with. Unfortunately, system performance may vary substantially, Arno’s story is a bit underwhelming, and if you don’t have a few patriots to join you in battle the co-op missions won’t impress.

    This was shit at release but it became one of the most exciting stealth-action games nowadays imo. The graphics are mind blowing and aged very well, the global ilumination is cherry on cake and you don't need 4090 to run this game. I ran this game at 60fps 1440p without stutter with my 4050 6gb vram. This game looks better than many recent titles. Parkour is so fun. The best about this ac are co-op missions. You can play these online or by yourself.

    Unity is a good AC game but compared to the likes of 2 or Black flag i got to say that this game was a disappointment. The story and main character were kinda dull and honestly kinda forgettable. The gameplay was alright and i did enjoy the assassination missions, they really did feel like you were playing a AC game, not like the new RPG games we have today. In the end i have to say that this AC game is good but not so special so unless you are a diehard fan of the series i would skip this game and just watch the story on youtube.

    Assassin's Creed Unity Review

    Assassin's Creed Unity has to be one of the best assassin's creed games \[ for my opinion \]. It has a small map, but it's full of side quests, chest and collectables. The plot is so good and the felling of the assassin's being united and you being one of them is amazing.

    It was not truly a next gen in Ubisoft Assassins' creed. Yes the mechanism of gameplay was completely changed but the stabilization on ps4 is really bad. It hardly gets 25 to 30 fps at 900p. By the way it continuous the story of pervious AC. Story was great. But the gameplay and upgradation of character can be improved.

    This game was supposed to set a new standard for the AC franchise. Cross-play, fluid parkour, cities filled with reactive crowd, beautifully created mansions, and buildings in which you can actually enter but all went in vain and thrown down the drain because of a hasty release. The game is a beautiful masterpiece if you play it now that it has received all the bug fixes. The story is dull and boring, the romance feels dull, and the side-quests are the same. The time-traveling power of Arno to look into his victim's past is out of the blue and makes no sense. The combat with the phantom blade is a good addition. I recommend playing this game if you like free-running in an open world more than the campaign.
