Assassin’s Creed Unity is, at times, a fairly impressive entry in the series. The story is more developed than previous Assassin’s Creed games, and the unfolding mystery is a great catalyst for pushing players through the many assassination scenarios that the game throws at them. It’s just often that you find things not working as expected. Whether it be the hit and miss traversal elements or the graphical bugs, there’s always something that is breaking the immersion.
They feel cared for and well-constructed, whereas the rest feels as though it were yanked out of the oven far too soon. It accomplishes what it sets out to do, but a smattering of ugliness surrounds that accomplishment. Assassin's Creed Unity is the best and worst of Assassin's Creed. It's hard not to appreciate everything that it gets right, and you'll have a good time if you can wrangle some friends for co-op, but it's impossible to ignore where Unity falls tragically short.
The ingredients are all here for a spectacular new standard for the series on Sony and Microsoft's new machines. But in the quest to build something that looked and sounded "next generation," Ubisoft Montreal failed to fix the problems that have accumulated over so many annual releases. Combined with an uninspiring story, and a long list of considerable technical problems, Unity falls short of the fresh start Assassin's Creed needs.
