Assassin's Creed® Unity

Literally only leaving a negative review because of the Ubisoft Connect login. Every single time you launch this game through Steam, it's going to ask you to re-enter your Ubisoft password to play the game. Every. Single. Time. Ubisoft is offering games on Steam to get your money, but they're doing everything possible to make it a negative experience so that you'll go back to Ubisoft Connect. Want to keep through Steam, but while the game is great it's not worth having to login everytime I want to play it when I can just do what Ubisoft wants and play it through Ubisoft Connect instead...

Once again fucked by a third party launcher. Valve, please, if any of your employees are reading this, FUCKING PLEASE, ban third party launchers being shoehorned into Steam purchases. I bought the game, I own the game, I shouldn't have to rely on Ubisoft Connect being functional in order to play the game. It signed me out for the 50 billionth time in a row, and won't let me sign back in because "A Ubisoft service is unavailable". I've checked, and their servers aren't down. My system clock isn't inaccurate. Ubisoft Connect is just a massive pile of dogshit. EDIT: The fix was fucking stupid. Activate my email, which I already did like 8 or 9 years ago, then change my password, which it didn't tell me to do, I just tried it as a last ditch attempt to make it work, and it just so happened to work. Also, borderless windowed is broken on Linux. Also, because of the retroactive Steam achievement addition I had to sit through like 600 notifications when I booted up the game. Also, no way to delete your old save, no way to start a new game mid playthrough, no support for multiple saves, all of these things we had as far back as fucking AC2. To start a new game mid playthrough you have to manually delete your saves from the fucking game files. Ubisoft, what the fuck are you doing?

I'm honestly surprised with how good this game was, obviously it doesn't come close to games like AC2 and (for me) Brotherhood, but it's a fun game minus a few annoying bugs like getting stuck or (for some people) the game freezing entirely If you aren't a fan of how new AC feels to play then this might be a game worth trying when it's on sale, 7/10

underrated, gameplay is 10/10, good story, the fits are so peak, and one of the greatest things about this game is its environment, atmosphere and graphics especially this being made in 2014. I also love how it is set in the French Revolution. Recommend.

This game is all about Visuals(saying that always considering its age),which are absolutly amazing.Combat mechanics are quite poor,the npc's are lifeless,and the quests seem insanly repetitive.If you are looking for a sweatheart casual story with some satisfying parkoor,assasinations and visuals thats a great game to get into.Nothing else to expect Im afraid,but me personally i had a good time playing it.

This game is one of my favourite. But please fix the graphics bug, I can't even play the game.It's so shuttering My laptop spec is rtx 4060, even in the low settings I can't play. If you fix this issue the game will be one favourite for all. Please fix this issue.

i absolutely love this game and the franchise, tempted to buy all the AC games (i eventually will.)

Lost the disc on console, me sad, get the game on pc, me happy, No more Bugs, Me happy, new achievements, Me Happy. Good game, make me happy

Combat= bad parkour= good lag= big story= mid high arno= ahh setting= good overall: mid

love AC games, specifically this game has her own place in my heart. obviously not the best part but good enough

Im having problems with the Ubisoft servers, so its not letting me play the game. Good game in general.

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. I have to re-enter my Ubisoft Connect password every time it launches, and even then it'll just display "Ubisoft Connect service is unavailable". I CANNOT access the game I PAID FOR. I've had enough. DO NOT buy Ubisoft's older titles. Just pirate it and you'll have better user experience. Don't pay these incompetent scums.

The game didn't age well. There are a lot of annoying things that ruin the game like the login page - everytime when you start the game you have to enter your Ubisoft Connect password. There are many game breaking bugs that require you to restart the game like the infinite falling glitch. The story is fine, but the 100% process is very tedious. Open. Every. Chest.

I played this game on PS, i have over 400 hours on it, both in multiplayer and single player. The main reason I find myself always coming back to this game is the parkour system. I just can't ever get enough. It really feels unique with how fluid it is, alongside all the possible routes you have. Furthermore, it really compliments the stealth aspect of the game very well, trying to stay high and out of sight and staying away from everyone's view while doing a ghost run is one of the most fun challenges I've done on this game. I really only bought it to try out a bunch of quality of life mods I keep seeing PC players have. I would totally suggest this AC to any person beginning with the franchise over the older ACs.

``ASSASSIAN'S CREED UNITY`` peak of ac series and ubisoft. this game is 11 years old and still no ac games can beat its graphics,parkour and game mechanics . there are some minor bugs but aside that everything is just awesome.

Best assassins creed I've played. The movement mechanics are at peak. The storyline was also pretty good. Sadly we don't get a hook at the end where you're left to wonder about the next game.

Good game, but Ubisoft Connect is the worst shit i have ever used.

This game man! Where do I even start with. It has the nostalgia for me personally A lot of bugs as expected since the wan't even finished and it is made by ubibug The Story is good. It recently got it's achivements update, however it is pain to perfect it but whatever. I would recommend it if it's on sale. (It can be better with some mods, but it there is a limit to the mods yk)

The world and graphics are still stunning in 2025

this game has a lot of potential but its barely a stealth game with its shitty ai, game breaking bugs and terrible optimization, the amount of clipping and jittering breaks the immersion every few seconds, I don't recommend it

Pros: -Best Parkour and the map feels like its designed for you to parkour through them (might seem like a no brainer but some AC titles like Syndicate and the modern games tend to ignore it) -Better stealth than previous games imo allowing you to crouch,take cover and even disguise yourself like the hitman games -one of the only AC titles with actual customization more than just changing colors also a lot of weapon variety you could learn/main -Graphics looks good and with the setting of the french revolution is just great, graphics doesnt age a day if you played Batman Arkham Knight before its like that graphic wise Cons: -Weak story with an ending that is so unnecessary and stupid i kinda hate it -ASS and repetitive mission designs cool the first few times but it gets repetitive and the game doesnt try to change it up -Besides Arno and Elise the cast are forgettable -Advertised as THE co op AC title but doesnt have much content for it? only like 7 ish missions for co op -Microtransactions exists

Movement has been slightly improved, but for what? Worse combat, 1 second input delay, worse story, no modern day story. Not worth it.

fun gameplay fun parlour but story is bad

Ubisoft logs me out all the time. This is bullshit. Let me play my game. It might be good if I could actually play

the game itself is fun HOWEVER the game is NOT polished. some times out of nowhere itll start lagging long before crashing. it happens way too frequently and ruins the immersion.

the only assassins creed game i still revisit occasionally. severely under rated and over hated.

Game barely runs, story is boring, 40 hours of sidequests which are all the exact same thing, forced coop/multiplayer to get all achievements. Easiest way to make money in the game (which is 100% needed unlike in the other games) is to afk for 80 minutes pumping up fake hours where the game isn't actually being played at all. Regularly get stuck on geometry during missions leading to getting detected and either having to fight for 25 minutes straight, die to snipers that just spam shots and can't be hit, or reload the mission and hope the last checkpoint wasn't when you were on a wall or you'll be stuck there and have to reload the whole mission

I really enjoyed this game and I would like to finish it, but every time, every single time after the main assassination quest after the short video the game is totally FREEZED! Every single time! It's so frustrating. I know that my review doesn't change anything, but I wonder why it freezes every single time and ruin the game! It's a big issue because you simply cant finish the game!

game is buggyy, story isnt that great , still okay :)

PROS: I'm a sucker for great environment design, this is one of the best video game maps I've had the pleasure of experiencing. Absolutely gorgeous! The game being set during the french revolution is such a genius idea, because i can't get enough of this world. It's a violent, chaotic, living, breathing world that doesn't calm down. Combining this with the excellent parkour makes exploring this world a treat. CONS: The writing is the complete opposite. They give us one of the most likeable Assassin's Creed protagonist in Arno, but limit his potential throughout the game. His chemistry with Elise is perfect, but the entire romance feels like an afterthought, which is surprising considering how much their relationship plays into the 1st two hours of the game. They barely give the characters any breathing room, be it the relationship b/w the two leads, or just them individually. Which makes [spoiler]Elise's death[/spoiler] so much more pointless, mean-spirited, and unearned. Arno loses every single person he ever cares about against the backdrop of the french revolution, and that is pretty much the entire overarching story of this game. I'm sorry, Arno & Elise. You deserved so much better. You had so much potential. But, the same can be said about the game itself. I had a blast playing this game and will definitely revisit it in the future, but the overall writing and especially the ending is EXTREMELY disappointing.

The Graphics of this game for its time is MIND BLOWING. Awesome game with too much NPC which they were able to render for the French Revolution. Praised now after the latest entries for the Parkour. Plagued with bugs during release. Definitely Underrated and awesome entry in AC Series. Have fun with friends getting rekt by the AI bots in game until you level up and get used to the combat. Definitely Recommended!!!

Parkour can be a bit stinky and some missions are hell but I really enjoyed this game. It was my first Assassin's Creed game matter of fact.

Story is ok but the gameplay and the graphics are amazing.

Assassin’s Creed Unity has to be the most frustrating game I’ve ever played, and probably the hardest AC title in the pre Unity era. While I appreciate its attempt to return to a more stealth focused gameplay style making it feel like the "purest" Assassin’s Creed title it ultimately fails to be an enjoyable experience due to its many issues. First off, performance is a major problem. I experienced constant freezing, particularly during the flashbacks after assassinations, and after checking Reddit, steam discussions, I realized I wasn’t the only one. This made the game even more frustrating. Bunch of bugs also that break the game is still there. The parkour system was one of Unity’s biggest innovations, and while visually stunning, it was incredibly inconsistent. When it worked, it felt fluid and rewarding, but most of the time, it was sluggish and unresponsive. Arno would often ignore my inputs, refuse to enter windows, or randomly cling to surfaces like a confused spider. I love how detailed the world is, but does everything has to be climbable, chairs for example... Combat in Unity is by far the worst in the series up to this point. Every enemy seems to have a pistol, making open fights against groups of five or more nearly impossible. Sure, it’s more realistic, but it’s not fun. Parrying is unreliable, and when it does work, it locks you into an animation that leaves you vulnerable to other enemies. The enemy AI is also ridiculous, sometimes guards detect me without even looking in my direction, and if one enemy spots me, suddenly the entire city of Paris seems to be after me without any logical explanation. Stealth, in theory, is well implemented, but the game’s mission design often makes it frustrating. Some missions are overcrowded with guards who have absurd detection ranges, making true stealth nearly impossible. There’s no breathing room in certain sections, which turns missions into infuriating trial and error sequences rather than rewarding stealth experiences. Also lack of checkpoints during major assassinations killed fun for me. The skill system is another downgrade for me. Unity locks basic abilities like double assassinations and throwing money behind a sync point system, which you earn through main and co-op missions. Worse yet, fully upgrading Arno requires playing co-op, and while private matches are an option, some missions are clearly designed for multiple players, making solo completion difficult. It’s a flawed system that feels more like an unnecessary barrier than a meaningful progression mechanic. I think the story is underrated, thought it was pretty intresting. It’s clear they were trying to replicate Assassin’s Creed 2, with Arno feeling like a French Ezio, but it never quite reaches the same level of impact tho. Side content is mostly dull and repetitive, though I did enjoy the murder mysteries and helif rifts, which were a fresh and interesting additions. However, the sheer number of collectibles in the game is overwhelming hundreds of chests, many requiring lockpicking, which quickly became tedious. The fact that some collectibles only appear when you’re near them (instead of being marked on the map) just makes it worse. Graphics look insane, probably one of the best looking in AC franchise. They recreated Paris so perfectly, and the details look awesome. Open world just feels alive with all those NPC's. That said, I enjoyed the DLC and would actually recommend it. But overall, Unity was a letdown for me. While it had potential and some great ideas and I had good time playing it, the frustrating bugs, poor mechanics, and questionable design choices make it hard to recommend especially for casual players.

Felt great to go back to 1 city with no boat travels. I'm rushing through the games to get to the later ones so didn't spend much time on the DLC which felt good when I got ported there by accident, so probably would recommend that as well

ive encountered quite alot of bugs and sometimes it ran so bad with the random fps drops either way its an ok game i would get it only if its on sale (also yeah it requires you to login everytime you try to launch the game)

i love it when i need 2 lauchers to play one game and ofc i need ubisoft account cuz why not make this even more painful honestly i hope ubisoft goes bankrupt such disappointment loved playing this game on my ps4 and now i dont even wanna open it on pc cuz i need to log in every single time

Still in progress I played 1st Assassin, Ezio trilogy and 3rd one before this game - Ubisoft connect: why should I connect each time launching game? - The plot introduction is really weak, I wanted to drop the game after 1 hour and ignore gameplay - Plot lacks flows - The character controls feel clunky, it feels better than before, but still not great for me - Map is a peace of ****. As far as I know you could BUY a normal map Things above are enough to drop the game, but there are also some positive sides + Atmosphere. It is really great. As always + Really big croud. Yes, for me it is a positive moment. I feel that city alive + Parkour feels good when you dont' hate the control. The level design is great for running through the city + Combat system more honest and fun than before + Leveling based on you equipment. And it is not just +10 attack/+10defence, your equipment draws your class: you can be a good fighter or more stealthy + Quests with historical characters and historical remarks - I finished DLC in the middle of main campaign because I couldn't abort it. Really bad UI. Moreover I think that DLC is really boring and you shouldn't give it a try I'm waiting to investigate some unclosed cop mysteries and Nostradamus puzzles, maybe that will be good(or maybe not)

Sadly alot better than Valhalla and Origins. Truly an assassins creed game. In my personal opinion better than Black Flag,I have not even finished the game yet.

Assassin's Creed Unity is worth playing if you're already an AC fan, but not a good starting point. The visuals are impressive despite an LOD bug causing delayed high-resolution textures, and the gameplay follows the pre-Origins AC formula. While the abundance of objectives can feel overwhelming, the game offers enough to satisfy existing fans of the series.

Controller camera issues despite trying different controllers, trying deadzones etc. No other game had this issue. Cant recommend.

Such a good game!! But unfortunately it was published by Ubisoft, so there are plenty of bugs, even almost a decade after release. I´m happy to report tho, that while playing there were basically no bugs. Unlucky was, that at first buildings and objects failed to load graphics, making it weird, since it was a thron in my eyes, when the rest of the game looks so beautiful. Turning off Anti Aliasing helped a lot. Paris as said, looks stunning, tbh it was my favorite story (played every game before with the exception of Rogue - and AC 3 kinda) of the series so far. Why a negative review then ? Well, the combat sucks booty cheeks and so does the stealth. Plus (and this is the real reason for the neg review) i had a massive bug, where after almost all main assassinations the game would overload my CPU making my enitre pc freeze up. Sometimes replaying it once helped, sometimes not, sometimes it worked first time (2x), sometimes it happened within normal gameplay. Since everything shut down, i had to shut down my PC holding the "turn off" button, which is absolutely not healthy. 2nd or 3rd time it happend it killed my ethernet cabel and therefore i was unable to play online, which is requiered for ubisoft connect. WHY TF IS IT ALWAYS ON ??? FK UBISOFT :)

why is the game so broken like bruh it an old game that gets updates yet you cant get it right

1st place best assassin's creed series NGL. 2. was Black flag enjoying the gameplay so much hope ubisoft bring back that kind of game like this.

The gameplay is quite difficult from the previous AC series, the parkour mechanics are the coolest of all the AC series, very satisfying

I feel like this game is AWSOME!!! It’s so much better than Ubisoft’s recent releases and is so UNDERRATED. I love the parkour and combat, and the open world is huge for its time! The only thing is that the online play is rare, almost no one plays online anymore sadly. But I STRONGLY RECOMMEND this game!

Cant even play this because it asks me to log in over, and over, and over again because of the greedy ubisoft scum

IDK why people complain, in my opinion one of top AC games ive played and im talking as a hardcore fan, ive played from AC2 sure AC unity cant bring the nostalgia of AC 2 but as a game itself its really good only AC games beating it still is AC IV Black Flag and AC Brotherhood but as a game itself il rank it on 5th easily propably even on 4th. Only reason being i cant restart saves, i would love to do it to replay missions and stuff. I personally had only 1 bug in entire session. Cant complain happens to most compare to newer AC Syndicate that was just awful with bugs.

I found myself enjoying the story more than I'd expected, especially the rift missions that take you to Medieval and Nazi-occupied France. They were small tastes of what I hope will be settings for future instalments. But, this game is one of the worst I've ever played in regard to the amount of bugs and dysfunctional glitches you'll encounter. 1) Parkour sometimes glitches and leaves you stuck on a wall, fence, or even in the air (happened twice to me) and cannot be resolved unless you reset from the last checkpoint. It doesn't sound that bad if you're doing it once but I've had to do it maybe... thirty or forty times? 2) Combat sometimes glitches (most notably when there's a prop between you and your opponents) and prevents you from being able to attack, parry, dodge... just about anything. You're forced to watch them sap away your health until they kill you because it also locks you into the slow combat stance. 3) The game crashes regularly. I had to re-play one specific mission (conveniently, a long one) five times because the game kept crashing half through the cutscene at the end of the mission. 4) The game doesn't always register your inputs, which is especially annoying in combat. Pressing parry does not guarantee Arno will parry, the same goes for dodging. Now, I know what you're thinking. "Mr. Full Marx," you ask, "isn't it possible that some of these are simply your inability to adapt to the gameplay?" To which I reply, "Silence knave." I earned all of the trophies for the entire Ezio Trilogy, AC Origins, and AC Rogue. I think I have enough experience with the franchise and all its jankiness to recognize when one instalment is particularly janky. Cannot recommend unless it's on sale for two or three bucks. You'll just get frustrated and never touch it otherwise.

Good game but badly optimized, the game runs terrible in AMD gpu.
