Assassin's Creed Unity Review | Gaming Tech United

Rich Drummond of Gaming Tech United writes:

"With no pirates or open seas to be found, Ubisoft set off to create a brand new Assassin’s Creed game for those of us on PS4, Xbox One and PC. With flashy new graphics and crowds that number more than some small towns, will this be the game to win over doubters of the series? Let’s take a deeper look and find out."

Great Review...

Once i saw you mentioned the framerate issue you gained my respect.

NinjaRichParty3481d ago

Well thank you. It's a genuine concern for me. I think people should be educated about it before they make their purchase. $60 is a lot for some people and to have something like a frame rate problem sprung on them could leave some folks with a sour taste in their mouth.

Glad you enjoyed the review. :)

GamingChip793481d ago

Solid review man. I'm not sure if I want to pick this game up yet. It looks visually pleasing, but I'm worried about the controls and frame rate, mostly technical stuff.

Again, nice review. I like the song that's playing in the background as well. Haha.

NinjaRichParty3481d ago

Those are genuine concerns and I can see why you're on the fence. I say if you like past installments, you'll dig this game just as much. The controls aren't terrible, but they're not much better than past games and the frame rate is a bit jarring at times, but nothing that breaks the game.

I think if you enjoyed the past games, you won't be disappointed by this title. Just don't go in thinking it's going to be a GOTY contender or anything.

GamingChip793481d ago

Alright. I might head to the store today and give it a go. I have some trade credit, so I won't be paying full price anyways. After the whole Watch_Dogs thing, I'm a bit worried to purchase Ubi's titles without careful research.

I Played Assassin’s Creed Unity Almost 10 Years Later. It’s (Kinda) Spectacular

Do the NPCs still randomly levitate every now and then? Even years later I noticed they hadn't patched that out

andy8572d ago (Edited 72d ago )

Honestly I loved the PS4 ACs. I'd love next gen ports of Black Flag, Unity and Syndicate

Five small but brilliant maps in games

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.

Why Assassin’s Creed Unity remains one of the best games in the series

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

Furesis551d ago

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.

DarXyde551d ago

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.

YourMommySpoils550d ago

A Ubisoft AC game that's not glitchy? That will be the day.

Knightofelemia551d ago

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.

RaidenBlack551d ago

Odyssey is a really well-made RPG game ... but it ain't a proper AC game, even though its part of the lore

ToddlerBrain551d ago

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.

staticall551d ago

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.

anast551d ago

Unity was okay. I prefer Syndicate and Origins.
