Assassin's Creed Unity is a MASTERPIECE!

[RabidFetus]

This is the best Assassin's Creed game ever made. It improves on all of the gameplay mechanics of the previous titles. I read many accounts of people having difficulty with the parkour,but in fact, its a much more nuanced approach now and it truly takes effort to become an expert at the manuevering. This is the Assassin's creed that makes the player practice their moves to become better. Even the combat mechanic's are a huge step forward.

You can choose your weapon speciality, and there is no longer a God Mode counter attack button. Assassin's Creed Unity forces the player to truly observe their opponent and the environment. The battles are intense with a lot of impact and weight present in each move. You really have to practice to become good at the fights. Thats why I absolutely LOVE the new combat mechanics because it forces the player to put forth the effort within that interaction. Its extremely satisfying to be able to beat numerous foes without being hit once.

Another huge advance is the customization features present. The customization options for your character go far beyond any of the previous titles. I simply enjoy all the ways we can make Arno our own character from the color of the uniform, to the various hoods, pants, bracers, belts etc that we can combine in different ways. Also the amount of weapons available is astonishing. From polearms, to two handed greatswords, maces, and even a Katana! Theres also an extensive list of firearms as well! The only addition that I would highly recommend for the next Assassin's creed, is the ability to customize our character's face so that we can truly make the title character our own. Customization is definitely going in the right direction however, but Ubisoft, please give us the ability to customize our character's face!

The story is also very interesting right from the beginning. I like how they implemented the character's story at the start. It was very well done. The story doesn't stray far from the conventions of the previous title's, but gives enough new twists, to make it a memorable and worthy tale that stand's among the best in the Assassin's Creed universe.

The Assassin's Creed Unity companion app is also well implemented with the core game. I love being able to immerse myself within the Unity universe and creates a nice sense of satisfaction that the actions that you're doing in the companion app will directly impact Arno's environment in the core game.

Now the final topic of my review. The Graphics.

This is the type of game that makes me proud to be a member of the PC Master Race. The PC graphics of Assassin's Creed Unity are simply the best graphics ever created in a videogame. The lighting, the textures, the animations are all superb. You will need a BEAST of a gaming PC to run this with all settings maxed. I have them all maxed and I'm playing on a 4K Monitor, and I will tell you right now that Assassin's Creed Unity has the VERY BEST GRAPHICS EVER MADE IN THE HISTORY OF VIDEOGAME INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT.

Assassin's Creed Unity has an amazing amount of content. I haven't even tried the Co-Op yet and I'm sure that will add another layer of substance to the experience. I would also like to say that Ubisoft is doing a great job at patching the bugs and making things more stable. I applaud them for that and I have no reservations when I tell you all that Assassin's Creed Unity is amazing and is the best game of the year for me so far.

Assassin's Creed Unity 10/10

Why spend money beta testing, when you can make money beta testing! ;)

Btw why do i only get 1 reward when i do co-op on my own? Do i need to do the missions 3 times to get all 3 rewards?

You have to collect the sync points scattered throughout the mission (check the map, make sure that area is synced if it isn't revealed).

RabidFetus, how much did Ubisoft pay you to say that?

He probably works for them :-)

I think he's talking about the equipment rewards, which you do have to complete the mission three times to get all of them.

On another note I've seen people complain about microtransactions, but you can easily get money by just doing missions and renovations social clubs. You literally get money in the game for doing nothing. It's pretty much like AC2. Microtransactions are for insanely lazy people who might not even be gamers. They'd pretty much ruin the game for themselves as part of the fun is earning that equipment. You can't even purchase some equipment with real money.

I honestly don't know. I think it's random, but I can't ever tell any pattern in wich piece of equipment I recieve.

I'm getting 60fps, maxed out, at 2560x1080.

Unity is the best looking AC game by a country mile. The combat is also the best of any AC game, again by a country mile. The way that Arno climbs and drops is also unprecedented for this series. The street crowds are a pure delight. It's just a wondefully atmospheric recreation of Paris during the Revolution.

Is this game a masterpiece? I don't know about that. But it's completely supassed my expectations in every area.

Unity has made me excited about this series again - and quite frankly, the series badly needed it.

In a year of disappointments, Unity is the one game that actually suprised me. Honestly, this game is just further evidence for me that 'professional critics' can be the biggest douchebags on the planet.

Well, it certainly is the best looking one. I will agree with only that. lol

Well that makes it okay then, I mean screw AMD users right? lmao

I feel like the combat would be more satisfying if the game wasn't stuttering all the time - leading to delayed reactions and missed buitton prompts...

Also while the gear customization is pretty sweet I REALLY hate the fact that there is one piece of every outfit that requires the completion of a co-op mission. I'm sorry guys but I don't want to play this game with you, I want to play it SP, and I shouldn't have to do something like that in order for my character to have a complete outfit.

You know you can play the Coop missions on your own, right?

Not all of them it seems.

The Heist ones I know you can but the ones that don't show up on the map until you're right in front of the guy (like at the sewer entrance to the AG) only give you the option of finding other players - not playing them yourself.

Unless I'm missing something...


Also, just to add an additional 2 cents...I do like the game itself - it's a nice return to the AC roots. AC4 was a nice change of pace but I'll admit that it didn't really FEEL like an AC game, just a pirate game with a slight AC twist.

[tinklepee]

I like the game, but I think AC4 was more fun.

I love the game too , but only problem that i have with it is perfomance and bugs :d



For fun / better immersion ? People want also play Tanky Assassins with heavier weapons that have different animations and feeling :P

So just looks? That is all? They are not better in any way?

the only thing innovative or "good" about this game is the graphics. and we already know that you only experience this benefit if you have a cutting edge bought in the last 3 months computer (and even with that hardware maybe half get it to work). yes its just graphics.

and relax guys. the OP is a troll. hes just trying to get a reaction. everyone knows how messed up the game is. theres really not much we can do about it now but live and learn.

[Jarilo]

The game runs worse over time also because there is obviously a memory leak. If I restart it it goes away.
