   Let me be up front...I love the Assassins series, always have. And since I have played EVERY iteration of the series, I was looking at UnityLet me be up front...I love the Assassins series, always have. 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

   OK where to start. Its An AC game, you know what to expect. There are only so many ways to perforate a lung after nearly a decade. If youOK where to start. Its An AC game, you know what to expect. There are only so many ways to perforate a lung after nearly a decade. If you are looking for groundbreaking game play go elsewhere. If you are looking for the platform to have a Ezio'esq grand journey with potential for many expansions, look here
   
   Now where AC:U shines. The story is back! AC3 and AC4 were horrible story telling that dragged along a stilted plot to facilitate a melee and sailing simulator, Three got a 7.5 and AC4 got a 6 from my household. Simply put when the office job is the "exciting" part of the game you have failed. AC:U feels more like the AC2 games in the story telling and the feeling you are the actual character. When the "real world" intrudes I almost get annoyed. even though the parallel plot is part of the game's timeline.
   
   So the score, starting with 10.
   
   Frame rate issues on the Xbox One. -4 Poor form Ubisoft. I Expect patches
   Story is back, it plays like a novel, +5
   Texture optimization shifts due to them making one copy for all platforms -3
   City is huge and alive +1
   Companion app is robust, relevant and on every platform +10
   Companion app is busted with a Brotherhood assassin's pool glitch for thousands of people -10 (Your lack of QA made your shining jewel a pointless footnote)
   
   Final score 9… Expand

   I don't know why everybody is freaking out about Unity. It's not the best AC game ever made, that title belongs to Revelations for me. It isI don't know why everybody is freaking out about Unity. It's not the best AC game ever made, that title belongs to Revelations for me. It is what it is, not to sound generic. It's everything fans should expect from an AC game. It gets back to it game play roots ....ie not making you sail around in a boat for hours at a time. The graphics are a huge leap from Black Flag. The parkour has been streamlined even more with the very useful automatic climbing down mechanic. It eliminates the "where's the haystack" search for a safe landing. There's no more leaps to instant death off of a very tall structure because of this. The mission failing has been made much more forgiving by not erasing all your progress you've made getting to a target and ultimately dying. My only real negative is the game took a small step back in fighting mechanics. Doesn't seem as crisp as older games.… Expand

O jogo se passa na França, e conta a história do assassino Arno Dorian. O jogo teve um lançamento conturbado, cheio de downgrades, vários bug's e glitches no jogo todo. História mais fraca da série. Jogabilidade boa, mas só isso. Desempenho horrível no PS4 e Xbox One.

They've made the combat so that you can't fight more than three people at one because you will get absolutely destroyed. Also they have crammed way too much stuff into this game which makes it nearly impossible to find things on the map even with the legend. To be fair the free running has been greatly improved from other games so it gets some brownie points there but overall I would give it a miss… Expand

Games are meant to be enjoyable and this is just a real slog. Overly complicated, full of technical glitches and utterly ridiculous controls. Score of two as Paris itself looks great, crowds feel realistic and there is plenty of content.
   
   Also hate the way it's pushing for you to play online so much. If I want to play online, I will - stop forcing the issue!… Expand

   Absolutely **** abysmal, I can't even gather my bearings to even write a well respectable review because I'm so pissed off about the manyAbsolutely **** abysmal, I can't even gather my bearings to even write a well respectable review because I'm so pissed off about the many faults with this speck of **** they have the audacity to call a game, let me list the only good things about this **** heap so it doesn't seem like I'm just criticizing it out of bias.
   
   The visuals and graphics are stunning, the acting and locations are excellent, I like that you can decorate your player home and interact with the environment and collect revenue from the many renovations you make, lastly the player customizing is a neat feature too.
   
   Now onto the Weight of this game which is patheticly enough, the cons, The game is near impossible, they completely **** up the combat system, the guards are very cheap and use guns very frequently and so happen to use heat seaking bullets, pretty innovative for their time don't you think? The constant bugs and glitches I get, the Parkour is still as annoying as ever. So yeah, this game is far up on my **** games list. Do better next time Ubi****heads… Expand
