Should You Buy Assassin's Creed Unity in 2022? (Review)

[@musiccer7446]

I personally like the combat system because fighting against groups was actually challenging so stealth was a lot more encouraged

[@AllPersonalNothingBusiness]

It was until you got it down then the game really opens up. I stopped trying to be stealthy once I got the swordplay down

[@miguelpereirasilva7662]

Not if you have sugers eagle

[@ThespectacularSpooder457]

I never okay on launch and people say they still have glitches but I’ve heard the tales but never seen seen what they said

[@Log-On-Line]

once you got the eden sword the game was so easy but i loved the combat too

[@justuraveragecunt9005]

Litterally best combat in any AC game

[@sgtroach1510]

I’m one of the few people that had no glitches at launch but this game definitely should’ve been delayed a year it also would’ve made the ending to rouge crazier because when it launched more people were playing unity also great vid as always man

[@icecoldlemonade3939]

Same

[@cykablyat9526]

i love the game but isnt only the glitches, some parts are just broken in the engine, like the enemies sometimes insta shoot you, or the consumables working the exact opposite way they should be, for example smoke bombs can make guards not hear your gunshots and the firecrackers need to be seen by the enemy to attract them, ofc once you learn those things its not so bad, but my first time woth the game was very frustrating

[@disswade1104]

Bro, I had watched a video of yours today, the one about the leap of faith from a civilian's perspective. Then I find you here

[@Engille967]

The fact unity gets complimented for being AC, having best everything and being 'underrated' which is more like the opposite nowadays is so retarded. AC3 is the only one that got undeserved hate (Syndicate and Rogue a bit) yet every bit of hate unity got was more than deserved. I don't see any potential in the dad dies idc step dad dies ahhhh story, the parry attack die combat, the buggy and nonsense stealth and the motherf*cking broken unresponsive automatic awful nonsense parkour

[@rokovozila677]

Although all of its flaws this is the game where I feel like an Assassin the most. City designed for parkour, dense crowds for social stealth and especially assassination missions where you just get an objective to kill your target and you do it on your own way. Btw very good video and review

[@Jagger-Tyr_13]

Exactly. I'm glad so many people really loved this game cause I thought I was the only one. Then again, I got a PS4 about 2 years late, and this was the first game I got being a massive fan and lusting after that parkour system they so haphazardly threw out after Syndicate....

[@0potion]

In all honestly the very 1st game And this game are the only 2 that did stealth right in my opinion. The problem with the new games is that they've completely neutered the stealth system. The assassin's creed 3 did combat fantastically but it also neutered the Stealth system. 4 was kind of a blend of 3 combat and 2 stealth which wasn't great but wasn't terrible either. I didn't end up playing rogue or syndicate I kind of fell off the bandwagon after 4 I picked up origins and audacy to give them a try and I just could not get into them at all. I didn't even bother with Valhalla.

[@denjddliu9826]

Most amazing one☝️

[@sanchirmendsaikhan1587]

Words can't even BEGIN to describe the beauty of Unity! While the initial bugs deteriorated the popular opinion about this particular game, the story and visuals are so, so, SO lovely. Arno is my third favourite protagonist after Altaïr and Ezio. His character arc is quite consistent/convincing and it described perfectly how Élise dragged him down. It's really great or even excellent game. I can ramble hours and hours about it, but I'll just leave it here.

[@cykablyat9526]

yeah unlike eivor and kassandra he actually has character progression, understanding the assasin ways by the end of the game

[@sanchirmendsaikhan1587]

@@cykablyat9526 Yeah, that's what pisses me off the most about the new AC formula, it's just not as credible as before and even Bayek's purpose for vengeance seemed a little unconvincing/hypocritical to me, though I love Origins.

[@subx353]

@Kermit you know what would be cool if Eivor became a hidden one, they have the potential to be one.

[@iiFuture]

The fighting in the old AC’s is refreshing after playing Odyssey or Valhalla. We went from enemies being staggered and stumbling when fighting to health bars that can attack whenever.

[@Mystic-Midnight]

I've gotten just about to the end of Odyssey (1 more artifact and maybe 6 targets) and I totally agree with that. Origins even felt better with it's combat with the amount of shields and no weird magic abilities. I could excuse Origins because Bayek was essentially a Royal Guard and then he gets a hidden blade but with Kassandra/Alexios you are a mercenary and your hidden blade is a spear tip for some reason. Also hate how there wasn't a double assassination outside of the throw the spear ability. I don't quite remember how spongy enemies were in origins but I just feel like it's far worse in Odyssey where you and an enemy are just hitting each other for a couple minutes unless you use an ability

[@tj-co9go]

Yeah but the worst for combat was Syndicate. Just click, click, click. Boring.

[@Dremons7]

Suits probably wanted a souslike experience

[@manfromdarklands]

It’s great of you to make 40+ minute critique 🙌🏼

[@flmk4925]

This was my first ac game. I remember when it first came out i used to watch so many stealth and gameplay videos. Since i didn't have an xbox or a solid pc to run it i never got it until 2018. This game ever since had been my favourite game to just chill and listen to music while junping from roof top to roof top and killing people in a quiet way. The graphics are so good I was suprissed this game came out it 2014. I currently love watching you master assassins and altair stealth as both of you play and talk about the game. I really hope they could make this game a sequel combining ac rouge and maybe ac 3. That would be a dream come true.

[@lifeasdev7480]

it's funny and a bit cynical that you say you were relaxing while jumping from roof to roof killing people XD

[@WarPaintClub]

This comment is exactly how an AC game should feel.

[@zetsubo5282]

As a fan o f classical music, this game is a gem for me , maybe I should buy syndicate too

[@tj-co9go]

​​​@@zetsubo5282am hesitant with syndicate... amazing game world environment. i love the cart riding, factories and train stations. but unfortunately, the actual story, and combat sucks. you more or less just suffer the main quest through to be able to unlock the whole map. and you need to spend the first 2 hours in boring tutorial before you get to London

[@Bent_Dent]

Well, this is a lovely coincidence, I just finished this game not two days ago and now you upload a review for it. Honestly, I enjoyed this game, the stealth and parkour are pretty awesome and I think the combat looks realistic, is challenging and is decently enjoyable, although I did get kinda bored of the combat (maybe that’s cause I kept using swords throughout the game without trying other weapons lol). I really enjoyed the mission structure of this game (even if it was a little repetitive) because it was all about sneaking around the place, assassinating your target and getting out in one piece. The parkour was really nice, but offers less options for animation cancelling and side ejecting freely than the older games, still looks and feels nice though. The stealth is good and has many options for tools which you could use, from poison to phantom blades, stun grenades and smoke bombs, poison and even berserk blades all of them can make stealth encounters way easier and even fun. The combat was simplistic, looked nice and could be decently fun, but would get boring after doing it repeatedly for a long time. The story was just okay, nothing less, nothing more. Overall I’d say I enjoyed the game and had fun with it.

[@markarato8034]

I loved Unity's story. The desire to keep loved ones away from harm is imo the strongest motivation, especially for a man like Arno who experienced loss and grief before. It was believable, tragic and beautiful.

[@iz723]

I just wished it went deeper into the french revolution, and actually supported it rather than weirdly demonising the revolutionaries.

[@meiliodinson]

​@@iz723It's my favourite AC game but this bothered me too. Maybe because I'm French lol

[@AnonymousEnigma19]

Even more tragic is that the Templars and assassins of this era had a truce that could have been turned into piece, if it wasn't for I forget the name of Aita's Reincarnation of this time and Pierre Bellec it could have maybe go beyond France and ended that ancient Feud for good, but sadly we will never know.

[@hevy_metal]

I have just bought AC Unity for my PS4. Even tho I have this game on Xbox One and my laptop. I just need to have it on every device possible! I have played it for like 10x time maybe even more. And spent 200+ hours in the game 4 sure. UNITY is in my opition the best AC.

[@alaricpumani5372]

Imagine it on unreal engine 5 on new generation console... This game could be the best game of the year and/or the best assassin's creed of all time 😱🥵

[@aidanbollon7959]

I’m currently half way through my second play through I must say it’s so much better now than when it was launched was really exited to see others are still playing too. Great video keep it up 👍🏻

[@ZmokeYouOfficial]

Does anyone remember that Ubisoft actually gave away copies of far cry and watch dogs away for free because of the condition that AC unity was in during it's release? That was an awesome show of faith and AC Unity eventually becoming a solid title makes it even sweeter. Good video by the way!

[@randomguestobserving6071]

Guess I'll give it another chance too. The Story around Ezio was simply epic it also brought me to study the history of the Renaissance (from all angles) and hey I liked Black Flag a lot too - was somehow refreshing to play it from the perspective of a Pirat scoundrel who came to find the right path in the end...(and to learn something more about the peak of the carribean Pirate Era along as well)

[@NekoDisciple]

I had absolutely no glitches playing this game, maybe one crash but I expected that of any game. I'm so happy to see people are turning back and giving this game one more look :') I always loved this game but felt like it was a sin to talk any good or like it due to the massive hate to it. Love ya bros

[@CyberMonty2077]

I watched this review last week and it gave me the push to buy the game after seeing it on sale. It is an amazing game. Even with the odd small bug it still one of the best games I have played in a long time. I doubt it’ll happen but I hope that Ubisoft releases a 4k60FPS patch for the PS5. I had heard that they are planning to release a fix for AC Syndicate on consoles so I hold on to hope that they will surprise us with a patch for AC Unity too.

[@IASP17]

so the game worked fine on PS5? I wanna buy it but I wanna be sure too

[@zachpack422]

@IASP17 I'm getting a copy from Amazon tomorrow for $19 let's see how it goes

[@Goldnfoxx]

Oh, this'll be a fun video to get into when I have the time. Unity is one of my top five favorite AC games, and has been since the day it was released (on the same day as my actual favorite AC game...man, that was a good day)! Now, if only they could solve the current issues with connecting with other players for the co-op, it'd still be a damn near perfect AC game for me.

[@DanielFeri]

I've played Unity more than 5 times now, and i can definitely say it's my favorite assassin's creed game (along with Revelations). Everything about it is just beautiful, sure it has/had some flaws but all games do, what the most fascinating thing is that it was made in 2014! It's stunning for that old of a game! And it's not just graphics, the amount of style put into this game is what makes it absolutely beautiful. So yeah, it's DEFINITELY worth playing :)

[@thms6833]

why do you prefer Revelations over Brotherhood? just curious

[@DanielFeri]

@@thms6833 Very good time to ask that question since I've just ended replaying the Ezio Collection! I'll start with AC2; • So AC2 felt like it had some good ideas, the animations, specially combat were extremely smooth, I'm not gonna comment on it's visuals, because that wouldn't really be fare since i never played it on PS3. The story had some nice ideas and was pretty good at times but it felt like a drag, most of the times i didn't even know what was going on, why was i doing this or how did i end up here, but it was pretty good at the start and near the end. The thing that ruined it for me the most was the lack of cutscenes and immersion, most of the time the two characters were just stand there and move their moth, no emotion. The level design lacked alot too, it wasn't hard, it was just just frustrating, since for most levels there seemed to be only one possible way to do them. Tbh tho, i think all of these would be acceptable considering it came out in 2009, but personally, it felt like a drag to me. But i have to say i do appreciate it for everything it has done for the franchise. • Now to AC Brotherhood; Brotherhood had a great idea, it felt it wanted to be the most badass ac, and honestly, it kinda succeeded. It also had the coolest outfit. But, it lacked in the environment, the environment felt dead and empty, it felt like it was just a big land full of nothing. It wasn't bad, it just felt rushed. The combat tho, it fascinatingly badass and smooth (the best in the series). It actually let you feel like a master assassin, specially when fighting with the hidden blades. The parkour mechanics were improved slightly but the environment wasn't really built for parkour, again, it felt rushed. The story started off pretty strong, and it actually got me pretty excited, but as soon as you go to rome it feels like everything just feels like a bunch of side missions. Although it did have some pretty cool moments. The lightning tho, specially at night was absolute perfection, just gorgeous! Also i love that this time it had so much more more cutscenes which just makes it more immersive. Personally, what ruined it for me was that it was a missed potential, it seems like it had so many cool ideas but very little of them were executed, i feel like if it had more time everything could've been so much better. (I also hated that they force you to wear the ugliest shoulder pauldrons in the game for basically half the game😂) • Least but definitely not least, AC Revelations; Revelations took everything the other two failed to do and did them perfectly. Now with the hookblade the parkour felt amazing, the environment also worked pretty good with the parkour system, even tho it could've been a little better. This time unlike brotherhood, the city actually felt alive and diverse. The characters were so much more well developed and the story was absolutely amazing (the best in the series). I loved the altair parts too, they added so much more depth, they actually added meaning to the final goal. they also felt so badass. This time the emotion was everywhere, you could feel what they wanted you feel, also the music was pretty good. I loved that they put the the trailer in the beginning (it's honestly the best trailer ive ever watched), it built alot of hype, but what was more fascinating was the fact that it actually held up to the hype, not many games do that. When you first have control over ezio, the setting and the atmosphere feels perfect. the whole first chapter was probably one of my favorite openings in all games. And throughout the story everything feels like it has a purpose and more importantly, it doesn't feel repetitive at all, which is something that ALL other ac games lack. I also loved the closure on both Ezio and Altair's story. Unlike brotherhood, this game actually felt finished and polished. Overall, i loved Ezio's story as whole and i feel like he's the best developed character in the franchise. Rant over. Sorry, you asked for it😂

[@jackdavis455]

I got no bugs. Best Assassin’s Creed parkour and combat system. Solid customization. Great story. Top 3 AC games of all time! Felt like a real Assassin game. Stealth was KeY!!!!

[@jbcatz5]

It’s my favorite depiction of the Assassin Templar conflict because of how nuanced it is. We get insight into the politics of both sides, who have members with different viewpoints. The disunity within each side reflects the bloodshed on the streets of Paris, the voices of reason who called a truce to try stabilise the conflict of the Revolution cut down by the more traditional, extreme individuals who just want to get back to killing their opponents. The only difference between the Assassin and the Templars is that the Assassins don’t have someone trying to covet a Piece of Eden. The detective angle for Arno’s character is one people don’t acknowledge a whole lot yet makes him more interesting. He is genuinely good at spotting inconsistencies and connections, it’s just the main plot doesn’t call much for this and side content isn’t usually explored in depth by the causal player.

[@toxotron5763]

I got this game the day before this video was uploaded lol. I really like the gameplay and the map. This game feels more alive because of the amount of civilians and the unique stuff they do (i.e. protesting, carrying stuff, dancing, etc). I like how they changed the requirements to unlock the legacy outfits so you can play as Ezio, Connor, Shay, or Edward right off the bat. I did face some glitches. Today, I saw a civilian gliding across the ground while in a crouched position. And I also saw an extremist laying on the ground while still standing (if you know what I'm talking about). Even though this game has its flaws, it absolutely amazing

One of the things that makes an AC game great for me is the area. Brotherhood’s Rome and Revolutions Istanbul for example. So being in Paris during the French Revolution with riots and protests going on in the background was just amazing and that’s only one thing! Parkours, the amount of customisation you have, COMBATTTT!!! And the fact that Arno pulls off altairs outfit the best with the robe physics. Unity is the best ac game for me.

One of the things I never understood about the ac franchise is that for the first 6 or 7 installments there were no crouch mechanics.. For a game centered around assassinations and stealth it’b be optimal to have a couch button. But I guess it worked out for them bc the earlier ac games were some of the best ones.

Unity for me is Absolutely amazing, my favourite AC game by a long shot. Incredible parkour, plethora of stealth options and engaging combat. Full customization of equipment and weapon, that have me constantly mixing and matching between them (needs transmog). Arno as a main protagonist is underrated. He's very complex, emotional and deeply flawed assassin which was great to witness just a shame ubi didn't build a little more on the character. Dead Kings was a great DLC too and again showed how complex of a character Arno was. I just wished we had a second DLC were Arno went after Shay for murdering his father but that was just wishful thinking on my part. Lastly Paris is a treat to explore, it dense, atmospheric and beautiful city to run around.

[@TonyMontananana]

AC Unity has by far the best Assassin-Gameplay in the series. Climbing a building, parkouring around, assassinating a guard, throwing a smoke bomb, jumping down and assassinating two more guards, finishing the poor lonely guard with your phantom blade - absolutely perfect. I dont like the RPG aspects of Origins and Odyssey and Valhallah. I want to be an assassin, not a cheap copy of Geralt. And Unity does a perfect job of letting you be an assassin. The missions are fun, Paris is really, really cool - the Story is okay at best, but the Gameplay and the coop makes up for that. By far the best Assassins Creed when it comes to Gameplay.

[@_wolfynstine]

I recently replayed Unity as part of my 100% every AC game marathon. Still, no bugs or glitches. And it’s definitely risen up my ranking system just because if the combat and gameplay. It feels like a great start to what could have been an almost perfect AC formula but then they released Syndicate and made a tonne of unnecessary changes. Still, I love Unity it’s definite,y in my upper half of AC games for sure. Definitely one I love to go back and replay along with Black Flag, Rogue and 1

[@fakjbf3129]

The Nostradamus Enigmas were something I think this game nailed, because they require you to read the databases. In other games you might get a fragment of a map and then scour the actual map looking for a place that resembles the shitty drawing or a riddle based entirely on a vague physical description (in Origins they tell you one is somewhere in the canal system of a field and that’s literally all the guidance you get). In Unity you have to read the database and actually learn some interesting history, something I never really did in the previous games because there just wasn’t an incentive to do so.

[@kaino25]

I feel like your a close friend of mine that I can talk with all day, that's why I can watch your videos without skipping, even if it is this 40 mins video I would still not skip any part of the video because of how enjoyable your personality is and the way of the pacing on how you talk to things.

Because they are from Québec not France, they are fluent in English compared to frenchs, better to set up the game in French 😍👍 true immersion.

Short answer YES. I have the most playtime on this game than any other AC replayed the story like 5 times and when u get the hang of it’s mechanics is rlly fun u could just parkour around Paris for hours and not be bored, heist missions just had exquisite stealth. Get it even for full price which is $30 for me.

I went back to Unity last year to 100 percent the story and dlc and mop up all the achievements I never got and I definitely enjoyed it more than when I initially played it. 60 fps on Series X is great and makes a massive difference. It’s still fairy buggy though. Nothing really bad or completely game breaking but definitely a couple things that forced me to reload the game.

Unity is probably my favourite AC game, tied with Black Flag. But what Unity has over Black Flag is that I feels more like an assassins creed game. If I want to feel like a true assassin then I would play this game. The parkour and stealth is just what Assassins Creed should be. I hope Infinity’s gameplay styled of off Unity, with the Co-Op as well.

To be fair, who wouldn’t simp over Elise

[@thegenerikshow8545]

I just bought it a few weeks ago, haven’t gotten around to playing it yet but it’s the one AC game I never finished. Gonna change that after I finish my second run through of Spider-Man.

[@andrijazuza51]

Since the day the game was released I didn't want to give up on it. And still, from the E3 this AC is my favorite. I am so happy that now I can say that. I TOLD YA!

[@alaricpumani5372]

Still playing it? Wanna join on ps?

[@LoveSickWorld]

The thing that saddens me the most is how they didn’t seek to further pioneer the multiplayer in assassins creed. Maybe it didn’t work out the best it could of but that doesn’t mean they couldn’t have just tried better instead of dropping it all together

[@SJ_Killy]

I have been playing and posting this game recently and it is a great game. Despite the bugs, the map is cool, story is good, free run is sick, combat is pretty good and well varied. You cant hate this game💯

[@aaronsmith6302]

Just got unity on sale for $9.00, I’m starting it tomorrow, amazing review man, got me excited for it

[@claytalian9091]

I played it a little bit when it first came out on my college roommate's PS4, and it was fun but it being buggy in combination with me busy doing schoolwork and I never got far into it. Then, a few years ago, I bought it and Syndicate on sale for $9.99 each and had a blast. I mostly agree with what you said in this video and personally I'd like to believe in an alternate universe where Unity got at least another year or so of development time it would've been received better and we could've gotten Assassin's Creed games built on it's foundation. I can only imagine how amazing Origins could've been if Bayek was freerunning and doing performing parkour moves like in Unity.

[@batofkrypton9765]

Netflix are doing a Assassins Creed live action series. It's actually been rumoured that Arno Dorian is the protagonist, maybe because of his live action appearance Cameo in the AC film. Who knows maybe it's the sequel to Unity but lice action hope it's true

[@danthewelshman4481]

I originally played it at launch and found it so difficult to complete due to all the bugs I ran into, even had a game breaking bug where my save file corrupted but even with all these issues I loved it, I play the game at least once a year and find it incredibly underrated, for me it's my favourite game in the series and even with all the issues it had, it puts the AC games that came after to shame. I highly recommend Unity to anyone.

[@death-thresh9548]

I just started playing syndicate for the first time ever and syndicate feels like what unity could've been if it was polished

[@mamut8413]

what a great video. thank you

[@Nazraq04]

I enjoyed this game when it launched on PS4. Never had any crazy bugs. Performance was fine. Then I got a free copy on PC when I bought my GTX 970. Now it runs at 100 fps maxed out on my laptop. It's pretty slick.

[@bretlagasse3560]

I finally beat it. I bought this game along with Syndicate, back in 2015. I got to the 3rd mission of this game and it just didn't feel the same. A couple of years ago, I stopped playing games all together, due to busy schedule of work-life balance. In November, I started playing again. I realized, Unity is a good game. Coming back to it and starting it over, made me realize it was a good game. The bugs suck, especially since I'm almost finished Dead Kings DLC, and I can't get ammo for the Guillotine, but it's still a good game. Without giving it away, Arno's story may be the most underrated. I haven't played beyond it yet, but Arno feels like the closest we have had to Ezio. Story was a tad weak, but the last bit of the story was really good and emotional. Arno embodies the anti-hero. Wish they would have done more with him. I also have French heritage. My father is french/Iroqouis, so Unity and AC3 were cool to play just for that.

I never played this entry after hearing all the negative buzz. Recently picked it up and have been pleasantly surprised. I like it more than AC4. Variety, combat, environment, gameplay is all fantastic. Parkour is great compared to the older games. Feel like a real assassin. Like that I can build my gear around stealth. I prefer assassination over open combat. My only complaint is that on my Xbox Series X, I have run into very frustrating bugs. For some reason quick resume does not work, I’m just greeted with a black screen. I ran into a bug where I was stuck climbing. Couldn’t go anywhere no matter what I pressed, luckily fast traveling got me out of that one. I ran into the bug where I’m stuck in a fall animation. One quest where I had to steal books from monks, pickpocketing them was buggy. They’d start to awkwardly move as I was pickpocketing but they weren’t actually reacting to me doing it, they’d just start walking in circles or twitching around. Parkour is great but every so often you still get the frustrating random jump direction or he acts like he can’t go somewhere. For some frustrating reason when I try to draw my weapon to scare bullies it will not do it sometimes. I’ve hit the button 10 times and he still won’t draw his weapon out. I’ve had several visual glitches. Shadows popping in and out, people disappearing randomly. It’s still not as polished as I’d like it to be. Some of these may be problems on the Xbox side of things. Not sure if it’s just not optimized well for my series X. I’ve heard other people playing it who experience zero bugs. Wish I could have been in that group. But overall I’m still having a good time with it. Going to keep going. France is beautiful in this game.

When I got my gaming PC, I remember the first thing I wanted to do was 100% this game since so many people gave up on it. Yes, it’s awesome how much content there is HOWEVER, the biggest problem is that once you’re set free in the open world there’s like a bajillion markers stuffed on a dense map. Worst, you cannot even do all the side content till chapter 8 or 9… I appreciate you bringing up the soundtrack: I love how it combines techno-synth-science fiction with classical strings AND even baroque-ish sounds of the time. It has an excellent way of presenting leit motifs throughout the game. Also “UnityLover123” sounds like a Rick Sanchez account when he felt depressed over being dumped by…Unity.

[@batmaninc2793]

Unity is the only game between III & Valhalla that actually *feels* like an Assassin’s Creed game should; and I’m glad you mentioned this, too. Too bad Ubisoft doesn’t realize that in order to make all the moneys, they have to make great games and be consistent.

[@elenegakharia3591]

It's a really good game as I know, hope I will play it in the near future

[@nicoli8437]

Unity and Syndicate are my favourites… When they sell something they have an obligation to fix the mistakes, This can be achieved with updates But They don't care about that.

[@jayelex2459]

Just replayed it after 6 years and I fell in love with the game all over again to the extent that I even 100 percented the achievements. Unity will always be in my top ac games

[@N0SEY]

that’s honestly crazy, i’ve never really ran into any frustrating bugs. i’ve experienced more bugs on valhalla than i have on unity

[@xSiCx6xSiCX]

I never ran into any glitches or bugs on ps4 i love this game so much is my favorite of every assassins creed game up to this day i still play it and I’m still trying to platinum the game

[@Mrcoltonclarkson]

I just got into Valhalla, but I'm planning on playing this whole series again after I'm done with that, and I'm so excited to play this one again especially.

[@superkid801]

Excellent review. It’s on my list to play, love the music and time period!

[@Ghost-wh9oo]

It's still super impressive that i can match make with other players online considering its an eight year old game and also an old Assassin's Creed title.

[@anthonyhernandez7612]

Just got platinum on unity it's nice to finish this amazing game

[@fusion5607]

Amazing bru I think you need a doctor it was a good game but in my opinion it’s not an amazing game

[@rexy3144]

Kinda ironic that Ubisoft went from france to the uk seeing as they used to be enemies

[@subhadeepjasu292]

Disagree with the combat system point. I believe Unity combat system is the best in the series. You can actually die in combat, all the other ac games are holding your hand (I haven't played post syndicate). I do agree with gun dodge roll mechanic point and all the other stuff you said.

[@earlchristiansilvano5641]

I just bought ac unity from steam now I already finished the mission and dlc dead kings... I LOVE THIS GAME, Arno Dorian is my favorite assassin

[@RetroSpark13]

"Age is just a number" should put that into some context

[@stefantherainbowphoenix]

You can talk about the good things in AC Unity all you like but according to a Reddit post from earlier this year, the game is still full of bugs (Arno gets stuck in a wall or some other object, sometimes everything becomes white and Arno becomes really small when you open a chest, then the game zooms in and you fall and desynchronize, NPCs suddenly teleport or become invisible, etc.).

[@cheeseman5013]

I just bought unity last week and I’m loving it so far

[@mariguana7918]

If they’d given it an extra year, this would have been the best game in the series.
