Woah can't believe Mirage was released in 2014. The graphics and gameplay in mirage were insane as per to those times but it still had many flaws and Glitched. Thanks to Ubisoft that they improved all the game mechanics and physics in this new AC game i.e. Unity! Literally Perfection!!!

Game is good but the launcher now forces me to type in my pasword EVERY SINGLE TIME I PLAY... this isn't fun and deffinetly not on the steamdeck i play it on, constantly tapping a screen and splodging it with obviously fingerprints that you need to whipe of most of the time isn't fun, fix or better yet remove your launcher, it will bring so many more people in and all those people will play a great game and will therefor probably buy the newest instalment. Its not hard instead of doing f all and constantly updating that launcher with no improvements what so ever, why don't you just fix it or ditch it.

Although I don't have very many hours in Playtime mainly because for some reason my saves didn't get backed up to the cloud and when I went to play the game it started me back at the beginning of the game and I got pissed off and quit playing it. However I did play alot of the game and I feel like I can write a review.


AC Unity is an old game as we all know but as we also know the Assassin's Creed Series is a timeless series and Unity is no exception.

AC Unity generally speaking Is what I'd call to be part of the OG AC Games before they went full open RPG. Unity you have your classic gameplay with hidden blades, smoke bomb, blend in with crowds, hide in plain site on Benches. The story is set during the French revolution and I played alot of the story and the story is disappointing in comparison to other AC Games That tell a great compelling story. Hell I'd go as far as to say that Odessey has better story, it's emotional, it's impactful it has cutscenes! LOL where Unity doesn't have any cutscenes. AC3 is better- there are many AC Games That have a better story. The way Arno Becomes an assassin is one of the most Bizzare ways that we've seen a Master Assassin's became an Assassin's it's just weird lol. Who's more weird though ? How Edward became an assassin or how Arno Became an assassin lol.

I didn't play Unity when it first came out because I wasn't interested in playing AC Online and at the time I remember thinking how weird and funny the idea was of an Assassin's Creed Game Online but from the time I've played the game I can tell the game was met to focus on, Online play.

The Online Play is surprisingly still alive and people still do play the game and everytime I'd matchmake, it didn't matter what time of day it was or what week I was still able to find a game in under 2 minutes which again for the age of this game is amazing to me I couldn't believe that I was able to find games I was fully prepared to not be able to find any games. The fact that people still play this game Online is a testament to how strong the fan base of the Assassin's Creed Series is.

Another reason I believe this game was focused on, Online play is because the map is littered with co-op missions they are just all over the place. 2 Man Content and 4 Man Content, Raids, there is even a sort of player hub that can be upgraded and used to do all kinds of things that you typically find in a MMO including a friend's system, the ability to customize your character, titles, ranks- I mean the whole 9 yards it's crazy to think that this is in a Assassin's Creed Game lol. When I first played Odyssey I thought it was online and was surprised to see that it wasn't because it'd design and gameplay look and feel like a MMORPG.

There are many, many MANY side missions and side content littered all over France, it's comparable to Odyssey as Odyssey has alot of side missions to. The side missions keep you distracted and away from the main story side missions can be played online too.

One of the things I like about Unity is the Online I love the online but another thing is how long main missions take to complete and even some side missions all Raids are long and can be completed with 4 people thus how intricate these missions are. The missions in Unity are some of the funnest missions I've played in the AC Series.

The Unity-Odyssey Comparison: Throughout this review I've compared Odyssey to Unity because they have alot in common. Odyssey in my opinion is a Updated version of Unity all the way I truly believe that at some point during development Odyssey was online possibly even like a MMORPG where other players were found in the open world but the feature scrapped. If this was a feature it was most likely very early in development because there are no remnants within the game or the internal files to give evidence to online existing. Similarly I believe Unity early in development was met to be like this with other players finding each other spread in the open world. Finally, in-game of Unity it appears there was a planned PvP mode that never seen the light of day because there is a mode in the menus (Don't remember what it's called) that shows Assassin's fighting each other and the name of the match suggests there was a PvP mode coming but was never added.

Unity also shares alot in common with Syndicate. One of these two games introduced the skills system of getting skill points as you level up and using them to unlock different things. Unity and Syndicate have alot in common alot of the same stuff.


Final Thoughts ? I recommend Unity for anyone who grew up playing the Assassin's Creed Series. It's a throwback to those old games with the classic hidden blades, insta kill, smoke bombs, vanishing, hiding in plain site and I encourage people to give online play a try it's very fun. At first I thought it was silly but I'm open minded so I gave it a try and was not disappointed infact it got addicting and I found myself playing online more than the main story.

Rating? 7.0/10
