Assassin's Creed Unity, another addition to the franchise. By god, it scares me and has scarred me. This game follows the story of Arno during the French Revolution and might as well be renamed Ezio. The difference between parkour is holding shift and space to run up and shift and e to run down. Combat has become much more of a challenge, seeing as how I have serious trouble fighting up to 3 men who all magically pull a guy out of their ass, but has a large appeal towards stealth. With a couple of changes to my settings, I managed to cause the game to run smoothly on the lowest settings, but I still can't jump over a box or off a roof into a window.

I've had moments when Arno was literally trapped in a closet, to AI being buggy and this game with it's overall completion is terribly disappointing. I have owned, beaten, and loved every Assassin's Creed until this point. Now they're just running through timelines with a new template. The story is at least interesting and its tie-ins with Rogue are well enough to almost make me fan girl.

Overall, this game has a lot of work. Staring at the sky has caused me to gain better framerates and the only notable difference between parkour is that now you can run up and sideways at the same time.

GG. NO RE 6/10 Would patch again



***SPOILER ALERT***
The third Templar you hunt for is the grand master who just dies without any hassle. Congrats Unity, you've made your strongest villian the most disappointing
