Assassin's Creed Unity | What It Did RIGHT

Assassin's Creed Unity, what it did right. A Couple weeks ago I made a video on "Assassin's Creed Unity | What It Did WRONG" where I went over all of the flaws I found with Assassin's Creed Unity. Now in this video I talk about a lot of the positive things I feel Assassin's Creed Unity did right. If you enjoyed this video I'd appreciate if you left a like and consider subscribing to the channel if you're new here as I make a lot of AC and AC Unity related content. Other than that thanks for watching and have a great day assassins!!!!

I never played Assassin's Creed Unity, but whenever I want to see KZbin videos of that game, I watch its Parkour gameplay.

[@nenadmilovanovic5271]

Imo it feels better to watch than it does to play. There is a sort of "stickiness" to Arno that I can't quite explain but it often feels like you can't really control what he will do next.

100% agree I believe Unity was the last time the series truly evolved as Assassin’s Creed and not as bargain bin Witcher 3 and if this game got a year’s extra development being especially for the turnover of a new console generation (and the story getting tweaked but that’s just me) then AC would probably be different than what is today

[@jasoncoladonato1034]

The only game that was better than Unity that released after Unity was Origins. Origins is amazing.

[@FS-me8mj]

at least witcher 3 has some unique soundtracks and a compelling story that can be changed by choosing some dialogue options. But what does AC have?

[@liquidsword601]

@@jasoncoladonato1034 Origins is not better than Unity as an assassins creed game.

[@jasoncoladonato1034]

@@liquidsword601 Agreed. But it’s a much better game.

[@rayanabbad6988]

So you are just gonna forget about syndicate?

[@fraserposford144]

The BEST thing about AC Unity which you haven't mentioned, and is my favourite thing about the game, is the sandbox assassination missions. I absolutely loved the set up of those missions, especially when the target was situated in one of the many palaces and mansions around Paris. Working out how to infiltrate the area and being giving multiple opportunities to complete the assassination was a really cool feature of this game. It is about as close to the assassin fantasy as these games have ever gotten to and a major reason why AC Unity is my favourite game of the series.

[@DarthOpinion]

I whole heartedly agree too. Valhalla tried this too with some missions but it failed because the stealth is broken af. In unity those multiple ways to execute strategy and complete the mission were amazing.

[@Daniel-hp3tk]

AC Unity felt so cinamatic, from the parkour to the combat. Something which I dearly missed in AC Origins, where it felt you were sandskating.

[@icarusgaming6269]

Unity combat does have another feature that adds a lot of depth: The staggering strike. Each enemy requires a different three-hit combo, all of which start with a staggering strike. They're too complicated to discuss at length here, but you'll find everything you need on Leo K's channel

[@Gabensito]

Something that i really like about this game is the blackbox missions, they feel satisfying, immersive and smooth. There's enough options to accomplish them and make you feel like a real assassin.

[@itzmrinyy7484]

@Tan Tan Huge stealth sections that you can complete any way you want, BUT also have optional side objectives to get unique kills

[@dog8438]

@Tan Tan for each major assassination target, you're given multiple ways to execute your goal. You can rush it, or you can follow specific objectives to do it with more grandiose.

[@nanakprasad3775]

Splinter cell remake is coming

[@johnhenry1877]

Why I loved Unity. It was challenging and had little hand holding. Combat System was easy to do but hard to master. You can build your character however you want. Side content like Murder Mysteries challenged you

[@masteronmace]

The reason why Assassin's Creed Unity is my favorite of the games is because of the open world experience. There's just a lot to do and many satisfying ways to accomplish objectives, random encounters, and other tasks. For this, I'll take the mid-level story.

[@masteronmace]

Though, I personally enjoyed the story 😂😅

[@nanakprasad3775]

Splinter cell remake is coming

[@Iva_TheEagle]

Good video lad! Still, a lot of people don't know the good side of Unity and Its Unique features, Glad u made this video!

[@dog8438]

Unity's best feature for me it the parkour. The whole game feels like such a playground. This game also did RPG elements super well while still feeling like AC (I also feel this way with Origins before they went full RPG with Valhalla). This game was also suuuper cinematic feeling. The art style was fantastic and has aged extremely well from 2014 to 2021. The lighting is amazing too.

[@samuelbetak2769]

I just started playing unity and i have to say its such a difference from the rpg games. So far im really into the game its fun af and i just love exploring paris, so far the only concern i have is the gun shooting enemies who are really hard to dodge sometimes but otherwise i love the game.

[@dankytd3905]

You might have gotten good at it by now, but really all you wanna do is keep an eye on the gun and when you see the red flash wait for a tiny bit then dodge, ofc with multiple enemies it’s harder but it’s doable

[@daveyadict_]

I loved this game visually. It looks so amazing. It played a lot like an old ac game. But I preferred syndicate for the setting and the game play. I got them both at the same time. I finished unity like 2 years after it came out, and after they pushed out a ton of bug fixes and it was fantastic

[@imamfn]

Me too, it just a shame they only did it at city parts of London unlike Unity

[@lastat00293]

You forget that absolutely fantastic and often emotionally overpowering soundtrack. Unity's version of the main theme, i.e. Ezio's Story still brings me to tears every time.

[@badqualityfrog9367]

Dead kings dlc was in my opinion the best ac dlc we’ve ever gotten

[@jasoncoladonato1034]

Hidden Ones is great too

[@rhyscolvin7714]

Unity is undoubtedly my favorite AC game and I wish we could get another game with Arno. It doesn't even have to take place in France, maybe he goes somewhere else but I would love to see more of him in a game with the same mechanics, not like the rpgs. I actually kinda like the rpg games but I think it's high time that Ubisoft goes back to formula with this franchise.

[@DBcooper420]

The world is fairly large and diverse when u take the time to explore. About the size of AC3's frontier.

[@Teecityafro]

I’m starting to get back into ac syndicate, which is super weird it’s like the horrible movement system and parkour doesn’t even exist anymore or it’s a mindset thing idk but it’s been going pretty smooth and fun for the meantime

[@DenDGLegionhardhouse]

Unity was simply way ahead of its time! Still play it, still love it

[@learsy5818]

Finally was waiting for this video still can’t make me happy my dog just died and i been crying so much these 2 days

[@luke5732]

One of the best ac games and story’s in my opinion, lots of people disliked / complained about the Elise and Arno love story but I thought it brought more life and passion to the story. Also one of the saddest games I have ever played but the way Arno develops throughout the story and with the loss of Elise and than watching him in the dead kings dlc you see how far he as come and how the whole story shapes him into a better man / assassin.

[@michaeltaylor815]

Had fun playing coop in Unity back in 2016 with random, sad that it is only possible with friends these days, especially the 4-men heist, I love how they were designed in a way very relatable to historical events, and that's what most people love about AC as a franchise, the historical accuracy. Shame Arno didn't get a sequel, surely fans would want his crossover with Shay

[@BlankRami]

Unity basically put it's focus on all of the things that makes the AC world standout. (Parkour, stealth and ect) You actually felt the world and at times the game encourages you to come up with smart ways and not be a brute with a sword and it makes your success feel SO satisfying. I felt as if I am in charge of a movie. The realism of the story challenges the mythological "Hero" who is there to be all things to all people And different parts of Paris felt so different. One part had beautiful streets and buildings, one part felt so broken and bumpy and many that I have spoken to have said that they didn't mind just running around different parts of town. My only crticism is that in order for you to do more cool stuff, you have to unlock skills which means going forward with the story 😑...

[@NehaPrashad]

I agree with all of the points you made and here’s another one to add! Elise dying was the right choice because it was realistic. The AC games nowadays tend not to have realistic endings so I appreciate that. *cough* Syndicate’s ending *cough* Loss is a huge part of life and there’s no way that Arno and Elise couldn’t have gotten out of that temple both alive. It made sense that Elise would stay to her character, be consumed by her thirst for revenge.

[@nenadmilovanovic5271]

But they already did death of a love interest before. Just because it is realistic doesn't make it any less boring.

[@NehaPrashad]

@@nenadmilovanovic5271 Yes, while that's true, it's also very appropriate for Unity. It's the perfect spectacle because, at that point, Arno has nothing left. Everyone he loves is dead. Plus he already lost the Brotherhood too. It's his window to build himself back up (dead kings + Character development lol) It's not the fanciest and most creative ending but it's definitely the most fitting

[@newhybrid101]

No its not that realistic,in fiction people important to the main characters die all the time to give them motivation etc,how often do you lose loved ones?It propably doesnt compare to a video game character who loses one every tuesday.Like,maybe every 3 years you will lose an elderly relative(thats the case for me)but in fiction you will lose your parents,girlfriend,friend and mentor figure in the span of two movies etc Relying on death for drama from a storytelling perspective is a cheap and weak way to go(bringing them back is even worse,deaths should hit strong hence it shouldnt happen all the time)life isnt like that for an individual,overall yes people die all the fucking time but for ONE person?No it becomes too bad to be realistic

[@liquidsword601]

You’re just calling things you don’t like not realistic lmao, that’s not how that works.

[@gracebrothers8672]

My most fond memory of assassin's Creed unity was watching the rad Brad's play through!

[@superkid801]

You made good points on Arno and his development. Paris is just so big to explore and run around and in. Excellent video

[@Aidan.MacMaster]

Imagine if they do the rouge unity cross over with all the features that they said we would get. Just think if the templars we’re holding an execution and then you could jump in and stop it. Or if you saw a group of people outside of a building and then start a riot

[@GRGCompletionist]

I'm one of those AC players who would very much preferred getting new yearly released sequels similar to Unity's and Black Flag's formulas like Rogue and Syndicate than waiting 3 whole years for disappointing projects like Odyssey and Valhalla.

[@moonsets-on_you]

It's clear u love AC Unity just off of how many videos u have of this game. I also appreciate many AC KZbinrs talking abt this game more bc: in a modern era of Assassin's Creed where we have to beg on our knees and wish for an AC game to have actual Assassins, many fans go back to bitter games (at the time) like Unity and Syndicate. Even the older ones

[@Dolowrlddd]

Honestly to me this is the best assassin creed game, it’s literally amazing. Yeah it had its bugs which I didn’t play unity to years later. I wish they kept going down this route.

[@TSpoon823]

Such a shame that this game launched as buggy as it did. The gameplay is my favorite in the series and the atmosphere is incredible. And while the story isn't quite up some of the other AC games, it still holds its own. I'm working through it right now and I'm engaged. Spot on video.

[@Symbootspooder]

[@heir2n018]

Unity is my personal favorite AC game next too Origins. Unitys representation of France was Impeccable imo, even the interiors were handcrafted with the furniture being time period accurate, the dingy parts of France were included alongside the natural density and beauty. Buildings are built on a 1/1 scale, God Unity was a really good game after the initial updates and patches

[@AFT_05G]

Buildings in majority of open world games are 1:1 not just in AC Unity.. Maps although are compressed af.

[@heir2n018]

@@AFT_05G yes you are correct, I was simply pointing out that given the density of the city and how each building was towering over you and the ability scale anything was impressive, mix that with the dense crowds we had a technical achievement. I wish AC games weren't going the RPG route fully and would go back to this. I actually am not a fan of anything from origins gameplay wise to Valhalla. Not dating their bad games, I just preferred what Unity had

[@fantasyeve87]

I often talk about how it would be so cool to see the assassins just launching from the side of a wall to kill people or taking the parkour system to the next level. Looks like this was a once time thing I suppose. *Sigh* May need to finish my play through of this game just to experience it.

[@jbcatz5]

Another win for the narrative is the most nuanced, grey and grey realisation of the conflict between Assassins and Templars. Previous games usually took a more black and white approach, with Assassins as good and Templars as bad (while some were presented as being right in the dangers of the interpretation of the Creed, they as characters weren’t that deep elsewhere) except for Rogue flipping the positions, and 3 using Haytham and Connor to put a magnifying glass on the theology of the Creed. Unity presents both groups as fractured, much like the streets of Paris facing division to debilitating and infighting causing effect. The more weary, traditional and ambitious members willing to exile and kill their own comrades who suggest putting differences aside for the sake of the fate of Paris (a nice parallel to the fall of the Isu in the first event, too caught up with fighting the human rebellion for both to work together to avert the first disaster). While Arno is brash, impulsive and definitely motivated by the power of boners, you can’t help but agree with him that the Brotherhood is too caught up in red tape to be effective. Another highlight of Arno’s character is his intelligence. It’s not often on display in the story, expect for the story mission where you have to work out who the poisoner is, but the Nostradamus riddles and Paris Mysteries highlight that when he engages his deductive skills he could give Sherlock Holmes a run for his money. People who engage this side material can attest that these puzzles don’t handhold the player and do require a lot of research and outside the box thinking.

[@Stumptdragon5]

I love this game. One of the only things I don't like is that you kind of have to upgrade/buy new armour which I'm personally not a fan of because love Arno's original assassin's outfit and I don't want to change it.

[@thirstfen]

Unity is my personal favorite AC game. I think with a couple of tweaks and if the co-op missions could be optimized to be played by one player more than it would make it even better. ...... And Ballic should have been the main bad guy, not Germain.

[@skyfire_swe8520]

I loved AC Unity from start to finish. I played it on PC after all bugs were fixed.

[@thorsal6208]

the story feels like a prologue of a new trilogy. I guess Ubisoft wanted to make more game with Arno and connect it to AC3 and Rogue.

[@5226-p1e]

i thought the animations looked amazing, but ultimately useless and didn't really function in anything other than eye candy, but it made the combat slower and because of the glitchyness of the combat it could have been better, but it is what it is.

[@Liam_Elshmaa]

I have a cool video idea. What you would do for a game after origins? Seeing that origins made mostly right calls for the state the franchise was in, what differences would you making leading in to the next game to steer it away from the hell that is odyssey 😅 This could include gameplay, story and setting etc

[@domiiinik4320]

I would also highlight spy missions, being French Sherlock Holmes was really fun Also, this was my first AC game I have ever played and it attracted me enough to play the rest of them, so it was really good

[@hqhuy931]

If Unity can be summed up in one word it would be Beautiful. For all it's bugs, sluggishness, broken stealth, it is visually better than most game of its time, and hold up to 2021 standards as well. It's rep, sadly, remains bad because of its bugs. I personally did not finish unity because it bugs out and lags on my potato computer, but it would definitely be a dream come true if i can try it on a better pc

Just a word of advice for anyone who wants to give this game a chance; go into settings and choose the “light HUD elements” setting. I promise you the game will be much more impressive

[@zombiewarrior225]

I like Unity a lot. Until it came to extremely large open area's for assassinations. And getting shot by gun men. The game was good, but for some reason the game really took a bad turn for me at the end. Unresponsive controls and very bad glitches such as getting seen through walls

[@Alex-ng6hc]

For me, Unity was the best Assassin's Creed game since Revelations. The story wasn't perfect, but the game felt like a return to form with parkour and stealth compared with the Kenway Saga. Arno was also a great protagonist for his character development and redemption and his tendency to use sarcasm and humour as a coping mechanism. He deserved to have at least one more game

If youre a parkour and combat and all vfx stuff fan, well, its all a better one... But the thing to why im a big fan of this game... Is that this game potrays each of us lives perfectly... Because think about this... Ezio understood the creed by seeing through altair's life. Connor understood by losing his village... But in unity... You lose your biological father, your adopted father, your love of your life, your true purpose of your life (since you're stripped of your title) , you lose your mentor... You're left all alone, alone with nothing but the consequences of the choices you made.

To me it was not about what was right or wrong about it, it was that it should never have happened in the first place. AC was a great idea and told a great story with Desmond, but after that it should have died gracefully. Now you have people harping on this game as the second coming because they didn't like the forced direction that Ubisoft took with the RPG games. If a franchise is dead, it's dead.
