    Unity doesn’t just play well, it looks beautiful too. The graphics have a stunning painted quality to them that may be attributed to the way that different materials react to the lighting.

    A huge Assassin's Creed episode, with gorgeous visuals and very funny and engaging co-op missions and activities.

    An excellent and entertaining game that innovates the series but it is ruined by poor optimization. Splendors of revolutionary Paris are flawed by annoying blunders that have been removed only now by Ubisoft. [Issue#248]

    Assassin’s Creed Unity improves on the gameplay, the mechanics, the amount of people in the game and the music compared to earlier AC releases - and it even includes a fun co-op mode. Where it falls flat is on the delivery of the open world. It constantly feels like the PS4 is about to break under the pressure of working too hard. Framerate dips, pop up and ins and odd textures will definitely make this a pass for many gamers. We were still able to enjoy the game despite these short comings, but we can’t help but feel disappointed.

    You’ll praise this for its picture perfect Parisian playground, killer co-op and infectious customisation. But you’ll also want to baguette out for its aging mechanics and slippy framerate. [January 2015, p56]

    Assassin's Creed Unity takes part in revolutionary Paris, but there is no sign of gameplay revolution. Game suffers with technical issues, one can smell the free-to-play principles and there isn't anything fresh. But the game looks beautiful anyway.

    Finding enjoyment in Unity requires a great deal of patience, more than anyone can afford. I want to like the game, and I do to some extent, however I cannot ignore that it’s broken. And there is no patch that can ever save Unity from its tarnished image.

The graphic, the setting, the atmosphere is perfect, the characters is well done, the story, although predictable is still pretty good. And I didn't even experience any frame drop, and hardly any glitches at all. Overall, this is definitely the best AC game ( for me at least ) Expand

AC is a well-know franchise ofAssassin's Creed: Unity is one of those prime examples of a game that could be considered great or horrible. AC is a well-know franchise of having multiple technical problems and Unity is the best example that Ubisoft has offered to execute the flaws.
    Unity changed almost everything, and that's the problem, they couldn't do everything right, nothing was fully implemented. it's still an Assassin's Creed that defines what it the franchise should be, with one of the most beautiful cities ever created in video games, fluid parkour, difficult combat and more. Let's hope that the next AC will implement everything Unity couldn't do.

    Having purchased Unity a year on from the shambles of its release, I can't speak for the extent to which the game was broken. However, in itsHaving purchased Unity a year on from the shambles of its release, I can't speak for the extent to which the game was broken. However, in its current state, aside from a few sticky control issues, it is perfectly playable and also sufficiently enjoyable. Graphically its impressive, and the hundreds of on screen NPC's at a single time is particularly splendid. The combat can at times be weak, yet I've never enjoyed combat in previous iterations, however in this particular game it can be slightly more punishing, and the preferable method is to assassinate and run, arguable what the franchise is about. The side missions can be entertaining, although a tendency to mindlessly complete them without really considering their story is commonplace and perhaps due to the irrelevance of many of them. The murder mysteries can be quite entertaining also, yet often they drag on with investigation zones miles apart. Similarly, the main assassination missions have been revamped, with numerous entries and side missions that can affect the nature of the assassination, interesting but not revolutionary. Overall, a year on this is a fairly standard AC game, with clunkier controls, yet certainly a more interesting and detailed setting and environment that other iterations. Probably worth a rental if you're particularly interesting in the series. Expand

When Ubisoft decides to make 3 Assassin's Creed in one year, is because they don't care about us, just about our money.
    This is by far the worse game I ever played. Weak story, graphics like the previous one, but with thousand bugs. You will get frustrated making unnnecessary jumps, or stocking somewhere in a pursuit.
    I had no patience to finish it 100% like the others, feeling like wasting my time. Definitely i will not buy any new Assassin's Creed, for me this saga is dead.
