Looking back on last year's entry in the Assassin's Creed franchise; does a year make that much of a difference to last year's underwhelming and disappointing launch?

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.
I was a day one Ass Greed Unity owner, and I'll never forget Ubi for that scam even if the game is fixed today. They even admitted they knew it wasn't really and released it anyways. This is why I won't get Syndicate. I can live without this series honestly
But Unity's problems weren't the bugs or the technical stuff, the game itself was flawed and very frustrating. Like, many of those mini objectives you are given in the main missions forced me to break my stealth or do any stupid shiet to accomplish them(and required for the platinum trophy too). One mission I had to sneak to the top of a building that later explodes, it required me to shoot 5 guards with a pistol... Then there were those annoying chest and the cluttered map... the worst part of the game.
Unity so far has been the most frustrating plat I've got. Never went back to it and traded it in. Won't go through that again with any Ass Greed game.
that face when you realize the game was broken

all of that happened because ubisoft rushed the game in one year
Unity really screwed up the AC series...which is funny because the previous game, Black Flag, revived it.
On pc it was ok assuming you had a capable machine.
I had the Ps4 version day 1 and I actually never ran into any really bad bugs. However I thought Unity was very ho hum as far as story and game play(and I've played them all). I'd probably skip this year's version except it's in Victorian London and I'm a sucker for that time period. But I'll wait a bit for the price to go down and the bugs to be ironed out.
