A 9 Year Old Game Has No Business Looking This Good

You would think a game nudging a decade would start to show its age, like an actor who's had one facelift too many. But not Assassin's Creed Unity. This game is like that car in your neighbor's garage; a 1960s relic, somehow shinier than when it was first parked. It's so absurdly good-looking, you'd swear Ubisoft struck a deal with some time-bending sorcerer.
AC Unity’s graphics aren't just a technical marvel; they're a slap in the face to every modern release. "Remember me?" it seems to whisper in sultry French undertones. "I've still got it." There are so many games released now have poor art direction and head-scratching bad graphics. AC Unity glides through its digital Paris like an ageless ballerina, every move calculated, every pixel dripping with elegance.
There's a sensation that every brick in Paris was laid down with purpose, each roof tile has its own backstory, and the Seine flows with the weight of a thousand historical tales. It's as if the developers were handed a magnifying glass and told to go nuts, zooming into the minutiae until each detail was exquisite. The game's beauty isn't just skin deep; it dives into the marrow, giving depth and texture to a world so vibrant, it could well be mistaken for reality.
Sure, modern games boast about their sprawling landscapes - huge, expansive, yet often as lifeless as a cardboard movie set. AC Unity may not span continents, but its Paris is a living, breathing entity, brimming with stories in every alleyway, atop every cathedral, and behind each revolution-inciting chant.
Let's be honest, Unity has its quirks, But when the sunset hits Notre Dame, or you're caught in a Parisian downpour, seeing raindrops slide down Arno's meticulously designed jacket, you remember why this game is iconic. It captures a magic that many newer games lack: the magic of a world crafted with a love so evident, you can feel it with every leap, every assassination, every rooftop rendezvous.
It's more than just a game; it's a passionate love letter to Paris, to history, and to gamers. And every time I boot it up, I can't help but think, "This 9-year-old title is giving today's releases a masterclass in sheer aesthetic brilliance." It's the digital wine that's aged to perfection, and folks, the year on the bottle says 'Unity'.

Altair Stealth wearing the Altair Outfit? What is this, 2022?

[@krankenwagen7198]

no, 2023 yeah ik wym but...

[@Hiddenone8926]

Well, aren’t you going to use it in Mirage?

[@icarusgaming6269]

I knew you couldn't stay away for long

[@INVALIDQUERYERROR404]

No, it is perfection.

[@Cpt_H00K911]

Altair outfit really fits Arno so much I always think they are so close I don't know why

[@Broox38]

I really appreciate how this mod is giving Arno his well deserved lethality in form of stealth multi kills. Here are my favourite moments: 0:50 essentially a triple kill mid air 4:10 beautiful unarmed double tool kill 4:59 very sick high profile double ledge assassination 5:09 fucking fire dual wielding of tools mid air 5:31 amazing triple assassination

[@AltairStealth]

i completely agree now the arno in the game matches the arno of legend. Although some animations are a bit janky, it's so satisfying to use these kills and I think this should have been in the game from the start. and also those are basically my favourite moments too XD

[@mechamojureg2166]

This are honestly far better to do and look better than the chain assassinations in Mirage. i would take this over that even if its "less OP". i dont like when they add these things that are basically superpowers.

[@Jackybara]

The mods you added just makes the game so much better. It's a lot smoother and the new animations are beautiful. Also the addition of catch ledge is awesome.

[@AltairStealth]

Catch ledge is like a long lost son that im so happy is back

[@nightmarepegasus4141]

Pls could someone tell me the time codes of the new animations and of the catch ledge, i watched 2 times and don't see

@@nightmarepegasus4141 1:36 5:07 i dont think catch ledge was used in this video so just search up ac unity acu fixes video

[@p.gin3955]

5:31 Its interesting how the mod actually effects the kill animations, you can clearly see Arno stab the guard on the right first, then shot the phantom blade second and then stabbed the left guard third (when without the mod the shot in the middle doesn't happen), although the left guard got "hit" during the phantom blade shot animation

[@AltairStealth]

Yeah this mod is very interesting

I remember looking at first reveal trailers of Unity before it was released. I was just blown away how it looked. it was next gen for the period. you can still see it in the more higher resolution old trailers.

[@seven7tr]

I'm literally watching Unity's credits right now, it took me 6 years to pick it back up thanks to your videos ! The mods are amazing, the story may be lackluster, but gameplay-wise it is without a doubt the greatest AC in my opinion

Congrats on ending it!! And i agree story is mid but the gameplay is🐐

Dude your parkour skills in AC games is insane it doesn’t even look like the same game when you play the dedication to playing this game how it should be played is just insane i feel like im watching a developer of his own game knowing every mechanic and how to use it parkour and tools

Straight up my favorite KZbinr ever. You're a gem dude.

[@QuatarTarandir]

1:27 Ah, yes, the "I definitely don't have another hidden blade" animation But this mod is awesome. Altair's outfit looks so much better, I wish I was on pc. And some of the moves you did with the Unity fixes mod are amazing

[@AltairStealth]

Yeah that animation is such a mistake from the devs lmao. And agreed the mod is awesome

[@QuatarTarandir]

@AltairStealth Ya, I totally feel like they planned to give Arno two blades and just forgot to get rid of it when they changed it. And the Altair mod fixes my main problem with the Altair outfit: no gloves! But it also looks better imo. Like the white is the correct white, like it was too bright originally or something. All the textures just look better imo

[@dlovian3927]

@@QuatarTarandirYou can see the left guard bleed when he got stabbed but the right guard didn’t. Weird how ubisoft added in that detail but forgot to change/alter the animation.

[@QuatarTarandir]

@dlovian3927 Ya, totally. Some people say that he broke the guard's throat, but I don't buy it. Honestly, they should've just given him two blades at the end since he became a Master Assassin, and then had extra animations for them while keeping the other single blade animations. But Unity released like it did, so I'm not surprised it's not touched up

[@TigerChamp99]

Your video descriptions are perfect

[@AltairStealth]

You are perfect

[@kelisson8621]

this is the best ac unity gameplay that i ve ever seen, you re just badass bro, this is how i imagine a perfect assassin

[@AltairStealth]

Thank you so much my man

[@effervescentapricot7522]

Unity isn't a game I thought I'd love, but there are times when I've spent ages trying to "get good" and the moment it clicks is ecstatic. The joy of finally connecting the dots is only matched by the idea of what could have been if the game were properly finished. Great work as always btw! Your descriptions are always going so hard and I love it

[@AltairStealth]

Completely agree. Nothing better than ac games with true skill curves

[@Leandro77]

I've been playing this game for the first time because of your videos. One of the high ceiling skill parkour in the AC series. When you master the movement it's the most fun I've had in an AC since I was kid playing AC1 and AC2

[@AltairStealth]

dude so glad, its an amazing game

[@monish9149]

nahhhhhh..............................................this is just insaneeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, the mods improved the game so damn much but not only that, ur gameplay was so sickkkkkk......prolly one of my most fav runs in ac unity.

[@AltairStealth]

Yoo thank you❤️😭

[@hokyontheroad3972]

just found out this guy and wtf movements has no freaking stop with flow

[@PeeTiii]

The parkour in this was some of the best I've seen on Unity Also 5:09 was so smooth considering you did about 4 different animations in less than a second it looked incredible. Amazing as always

[@AltairStealth]

Yeah the mod fits so well with the base game

[@TigerChamp99]

"There are so many games released now have poor art direction and head-scratching bad graphics." This has also happened to other franchises as well. I feel like 2014-2015 is when games looked perfect from art direction perspective. NFS Hot Pursuit 2010 is a game that somehow looks artistically better than the newer NFS games despite those games using the newest tech even 13 years later.

[@AltairStealth]

Yeah games have gone in a weird visual direction often

[@soldxr._4298]

[@XRJ_inc.]

Ubisoft fails to realize that Unity was ahead of its time. So what it was buggy when it first dropped. The formula was perfect and it worked when it was polished. Literally dropped this game again, but complete and it would satisfy everyone.

If Arno shoots someone with a phantom blade and then he looks them does it consistently give him a phantom blade back. This happened to me a few times and I’m curious if this happened to anyone else.
