Assassin’s Creed: Unity Review | Front Towards Gamer

Another year and another installment to the Assassin’s Creed series. Ubisoft released two installments in the franchise this year, actually. But unlike its comrade, Assassin’s Creed: Rogue, Assassin’s Creed: Unity takes the leap of faith onto the next generation of hardware, and shows it off beautifully. Cooperative multiplayer has been added to the game as the series makes its first trip to France, although with some well-documented glitches along the way.

To be honest I am awe-struck with this game in many ways. Yes the glitches get in the way, but damn...all those NPC's, there must have been 200 of them all yelling and fighting the power.

The environments are amazing as well, and the interior buildings are just...superlative. I love how faithful the Victorian era was recreated and how everyone has that air of pompous pride mixed with outrage and angst.

KarmaV123589d ago

I agree with you 100%. Some people need to look past the glitches and what they will see is an amazing experience in a time that was glorious in every way.

Let's say you order food. But the food has bugs in it,as in insects.
That's not how the food is supposed to be, you'd expect a meal without any errors made from a restaurant.

You'd expect the same from a game.
Stop accepting that 50% of this years games have been filled with bugs.

KarmaV123589d ago

I didn't know you were suppose to eat games. That is a terrible comparison. You blow this so out of proportion, throughout my entire play through of this game I did not run into one glitch that I could see and less than 5 bad frame drops. I finished the game in 2 days, the first 2 days of release if you were interested. So when this game was "bug filled" and people were complaining on the internet, sometimes you have to play survivor and eat the bugs and enjoy life.

Ya man, agree. How it can get a 6 is just strange to me. To me, 6 is a game that plays but is not fun. Its just a thing that passes as a game. ACU has had a lot of work put into it. I've spent so many hours just awing at the architecture, I didn't even play any missions during. Its just a joy to walk around or jump from roof to roof in this almost parallel reality. Add to that is a dramatic story and a GAME! That can't be a 6. Its at least a 7 if the game is awful. And I've played it on release and hated the bugs and errors but after the patch I've been playing it with almost no issues.

KarmaV123588d ago

I loved it with the stutters, it was incredible. The game honestly leaves me speechless with the amount of detail that has been put into it.

Can't tell if joking

dreamed3588d ago

I lost count how many times i fell through the map,and saw npcs stuck upside down in mid air twitching.

Imo it wasnt the bug that bothered me the most,it was/is the horrible unresponsive new combat system....well actually its an attempt at bringing the original combat from ac1 back but its failed misiribly imo.....ac1 combat was loads more responsive.

I Played Assassin’s Creed Unity Almost 10 Years Later. It’s (Kinda) Spectacular

Do the NPCs still randomly levitate every now and then? Even years later I noticed they hadn't patched that out

andy85194d ago (Edited 194d ago )

Honestly I loved the PS4 ACs. I'd love next gen ports of Black Flag, Unity and Syndicate

Five small but brilliant maps in games

Small video game maps that are packed with things to do are better than huge but empty maps. Here are five small but brilliant maps in games.

Why Assassin’s Creed Unity remains one of the best games in the series

GF365: "Since the first Assassin’s Creed game, there have been entries up until now. There are more than a few titles that are far from an ideal stealth game. Let’s discuss why 2014’s Assassin’s Creed Unity is one of the best games in the series."

Glitchy as hell and flat story, nah this aint it. AC2, brotherhood and 4 were amazing games in every respective

Furesis673d ago

Yeah i would say brotherhood and 4 were the best for me. I have not played the new ones and Unity was my last one. Seems like i made a good choice.

DarXyde673d ago

I gave up after Revelations. Just couldn't bring myself to care anymore and I got burned out of the gameplay.

Definitely agree on 2 and Brotherhood though. Great games.

YourMommySpoils672d ago

A Ubisoft AC game that's not glitchy? That will be the day.

Knightofelemia673d ago

After constant glitches Arno being boring nah I am good I skipped Unity. I will always like the Ezio trilogy, Black Flag, Rogue, Odyssey, Syndicate. I use to love the franchise but now it feels stale and boring. But my list of favorite entries into the franchise will vary from other players favorite entries.

RaidenBlack673d ago

Odyssey is a really well-made RPG game ... but it ain't a proper AC game, even though its part of the lore

ToddlerBrain673d ago

It’s funny because, at launch, it was universally panned for being unplayable. It’s a great game that holds up today. I’m glad they fixed it.

staticall673d ago

The only good things i remember from Unity are pretty graphics and really good descending mechanics (even though it sometimes didn't make much sense, when your character can drop down from like 10 meter height onto a flagpole perfectly).

Game is glitchy to this day, i was playing in it years after the release date (with all the DLCs) and it's still broken. You had to reload missions too often for my taste (characters do not spawn, you fall through the floor, getting stuck in falling/sitting/aiming animation, hidden blade stop working, assassination target running away at the start of the mission). Story was meh, searching for all the treasures wasn't enjoyable at all. Coop was pretty much useless, i've beaten every coop mission in solo. Helix rifts were awful as well.

Not saying i hate this game or anything, but it got too many problems.

Assassin's Creed (i know it's a controversial opinion) and Assassin's Creed 2 are still great to this day.

anast673d ago

Unity was okay. I prefer Syndicate and Origins.
