"While its myriad of technical issues are certainly detrimental to anyone’s enjoyment, it’s the lack of ambition in reinventing its aging mechanics and tired level design that leave Unity treading water. Black Flag showed that with a few key design changes this is a series that can still flourish and create fantastic experiences, often in spite of its core mechanics, but Unity’s reliance on them makes it feels like a step back when it should have taken a giant leap forward. The endless possibilities afforded by the series’ time travelling concept will continue to offer hope that Assassin’s Creed can still shine, but it needs to take a long, hard look at itself before that can happen. More of the same just doesn’t cut it anymore." - Thunderbolt

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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Odyssey is a really well-made RPG game ... but it ain't a proper AC game, even though its part of the lore
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.
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.
"tired level design"
So the reconstruction of whole cities in a game is "tired level design" according to these people? LMFAO! This is just proof that the 4/10 is a joke score meant to call attention, not to be taken seriously.
Perfect score
Never played it, but hard to believe that its a 4/10.
I give it about a 7.8 I'm on sequence 8 and been playing it several hours. It's better than people give it credit for.
Anyone who says unity plays like black flag obviously never played black flag.....theres a reason its getting bad reviews....its coz its the worst yet imo.
How anyone can say the combat isnt sluggish and clunky just blows my mind???...the dodge move just dosnt work,you can press it yeah and arno will roll..(after you mash A of course not just one press)..but you still end up taking 5-6 shots anyway due to the lockin effect in this new fighting style.
I see they tried to bring the ac1 fight style back but imo it was loads more responsive in ac1.
Imo its getting the reviews it diserves....5/10 imo.
