Assassin's Creed Unity is an action-adventure video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It was released in November 2014 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and in December 2020 for Stadia.[1] It is the eighth major installment in the Assassin's Creed series, and the successor to 2013's Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. It also has ties to Assassin's Creed Rogue, which was released for the previous generation consoles on the same day as Unity.
The plot is set in a fictional history of real world events and follows the centuries-old struggle between the Assassins, who fight for peace with free will, and the Templars, who desire peace through control. The framing story is set in the 21st century and features an unnamed and unseen protagonist, who joins the Assassins as an initiate to help them locate the corpse of an 18th century Sage before Abstergo (the modern-day incarnation of the Templars). The main story is set in Paris during the French Revolution and follows Assassin Arno Victor Dorian and his efforts to expose the true powers behind the Revolution. The game retains the series' third-person open world exploration as well as introducing a revamped combat, parkour and stealth system. The game also introduces cooperative multiplayer to the Assassin's Creed series, letting up to four players engage in narrative-driven missions and explore the open world map.
Assassin's Creed Unity received mixed reviews upon release. It was praised for its visuals, customization options, setting, and characterization. Critics were more polarized on its narrative, mission design, multiplayer-oriented format, and gameplay, with the latter in particular complimented for its improvements, but criticized for a lack of innovation and for feeling unrefined. The game was also widely panned for its numerous graphical issues and bugs, prompting Ubisoft to issue an apology and offer compensation. In the years since Unity's release, after most of the technical issues were resolved, the game has undergone positive critical re-evaluations, and is retrospectively considered to be an underrated and under-appreciated title in the Assassin's Creed series. The game was also a favorable commercial success, selling over 10 million copies worldwide, and saw a resurgence in sales in the early 2020s.
Assassin's Creed Unity was followed in October 2015 by Assassin's Creed Syndicate, which continues the modern-day narrative, but has its main plot set in Victorian era London.
Assassin's Creed Unity is an action-adventure[3] stealth game set in an open world environment. The game's combat system was meant to be rebuilt, with fencing being used as an inspiration for the new system. In addition to returning weapons from previous games, Assassin's Creed Unity introduces the Phantom Blade. The Phantom Blade uses the mechanics of a crossbow to fire a silent projectile at a great distance, while still serving the same role as the Hidden Blade in previous Assassin's Creed games.[4] Navigation for the game was also overhauled: new "Free-run up" and "Free-run down" commands were added to make it easier for the player to scale buildings in either direction.

I'm good on that Thanks any how! Enjoy it though.
Oh man your editing has improved
Man i remember playing monster legends
It was my childhood
Im going through unity now probably for the hundred time it’s the assassin game that feels like the most assassins creed to me and I’m ganna buy syndicate again just because I can’t get enough of unity’s mechanics and the stealth is the best in syndicate than any other.
@@DEADxVenom true
But unity needed more time do develop
If ubisoft waited a bit more,then they could've gotten it a better reputation
Am I the only person on earth who had absolutely no fucking bugs while playing this like a year after release? Still one of my favorite AC games to this day.
I had one bug that I remember, it was on my PS4 about a year ago and I got stuck between a fence and a wall. That was the only bug I remember though it probably wasn't the only one I experienced.
about five times the guy started swimming on the latern..
I never had bugs and I bought this when it was released.. maybe I just didn't noticed when it was patched whenever I played it.. but I love this but the end is kinda subpar imo..
I played it when it came and played it again in 2020. Never found any bug.
Me either it wasn't all that noticeable for me. Same with AC3
Unity is actually one of my favorite AC games. It's unfortunate that it just gets remembered as the broken AC game. Getting past the bugs it had on release, it was the peak of the series in my opinion. It had a large emphasis on stealth, combat had some issues yet still felt like it was refined like it was a step up from the combat before it, it even had armor with its own stats without over doing it as they do now. I was fortunate enough to not run into many problems so maybe that why i enjoyed it more. More should go and give it another try.
great game but the story was to short main mission to short this is only game that i wanted more and didnt get it
Absolutely agree
@Yer Da unity was a good game with a bad story
I'm currently replaying AC3 and my god does it have more bugs than I ever experienced in Unity. Idk how Unity is forever remembered as the game plagued by bugs when AC3 exists.
Still a lack of content and still to date broken online services do not help it
I love how it's called unity as in unification and being together, yet people either love it or hate it very few in between
Its also called unity as in coop focused
its called unity because its about a revolution ... of course americans wouldnt get it
No way you can hate unity if you played it recently
@@cmay4503 @cmay4503 Just finished it. It's the worst AC I've played considering I played all of main games until Unity. It was just a meh game with some areas I liked and some I hated. Parkour was awful and just ignored your button commands. Following somebody from A to B, collecting items or sabotaging something is beyond old now.
And the game does everything to discourage co op because ALL the problems come out once you go online.
Offline, it's my second favorite AC game right behind Black Flag!
Never had a problem with this game. The parkour was incredible, the story was amazing, the customization was also amazing, the combat was good, overall an amazing game.
i stopped playing it after a mission where you stealth follow soemone it was so hard for some reason and the fighting was jsut too hard for me and I’ve been playing games since I was 6. I love assassins creed but I still never completed unity
@@ToothlesstheNightFury510 I love the fact I'm playing AC 2 and exact reason for me I've been stuck on a stealth following mission for 2 hours, it got guards everywhere who notice me within a few seconds, and rooftops full of archers and stuff, but the best part is when I figure out a route and able to complete the mission in 10 minutes
People in this comment section make me feel like a god of a gamer.
pakour is awful on PC the guys climbs everyzhere the combat is only about counter and hit and u get discovered by enemy when you literally are jumping on top of his head 2 metters high
@@rekdyoface4503 Hence the new AC games, fake rpg mechanics and cooler button mashing, even in nightmare mode. That's the new trend, it looks complicated and makes you feel you're making gear choice. Yet anyone's lil 10 yo cousin will have the same character as yours 🤣
The hard stealthy parts in AC were those when npc detection was plagued by bugs... looking at you AC3 missions where enemies can see through walls but ignore gun shot sound 😂
I'll die on the "Unity is the purest AC game" hill. It was ahead of its time. If they hadn't botched the release then it would have charted the course for the series and we wouldn't have veered off into the weeds with the modern trilogy. Its a real shame.
I'd say gameplay wise, in what the devs were going for, yeah. Stoeywise for instance I feel they failed miserably, but they have really tried their darndest to sell the Assassin fantasy, and that's fricking awesome.
@@shaheenziyard5631 I dont think its that bad
@no info Oh man, I'd eat it up. They really just need a 60fps/4k patch on top of the other fixes, and maybe a sound sync fix if its not too much work.
I’ll die on the hill with you brother
everyone is talking about the gameplay, but goddamn! does this game looks so beautiful. not only the art style is so good but the graphics engine helped to achieve the best texture and lighting system as possible, it still to this day looks so good, in my opinion this game was the technical pinnacle in Ubisoft. it's really concerning, how every Ubisoft game after this, started to look like a half baked AA game. as if they literally didn't bother with their engine after this game.. also I really hate the artstyle, Ubisoft started to implement on their games, after this. I really don't like how their games look so plastic artificial type now, and every character has this brown color palette, as if literally everyone had a skin tan
The fact unitys graphics look like they came out in 2021 is a huge deal. So underrated.
No

I'd have given my right arm for a Unity sequel that saw Arno seek out Old Man Connor for helping hunt down Shay. I know it wouldn't have worked for timeline-related reasons, what with Shay already getting on a bit when Arno was just a kid, but a crossover event that brought together all of those characters/eras would have been insane.
Don’t know about Arno per se, but a confrontation between Shay and Connor would be legendary. Imagine Shay seeking revenge for the death of Haytham and killing off the botherhood Connor fought to rebuild. Imagine playing half of the game this arc, and later the game with an older and more experienced and callous Arno following Connor’s clues and uncovering this lost “clash” that no one talked about.
@@alfredospautzgranemannjuni5864
This is sickening. How do two CZcams comments develop a better plot than the entire team at Ubisoft? What makes this even more sickening is that this idea could have tied up the entire colonial trilogy and unity in one. I can’t imagine how cool a game with Arno Connor and shay could have been
@dougpederson5625 because the writing team at ubisoft isn't allowed to just do what they want. Ubisoft execs have committees that they force devs and writers to answer to so they don't make something too niche, so they can capture a "broader audience" so the execs can make more money this year than the last year. That's why the rpg trilogy exists. Because The Witcher 3 was financially and critically successful, the execs and committees ordered the ubisoft devs to make Witcher 3 but with an assassin's creed coat of paint.
You couldn't play the game without your right arm.
@@alfredospautzgranemannjuni5864 Connor would curbstomp shay lmao, dude fought a whole templar order almost on his own.
I'm parisian and seeing how the city has been replicated to perfection by the franchise, makes me forget about the bugs. It's literally insane, I rediscovered my city and I'm basically obsessed with French Revolution because of this game (even though there"s a HUGE anti-revolution propaganda in the game, which is really weird since for us, French people, this is something that we're really proud about). I loved the History behind the game, every person is a REAL person, even the Ghost of the Tuileries. They thought about everything, probably worked with a ton of historians and architects. Anyway, the #3 best AC game to me.
Salut, j’ai grave kiffé ton commentaire. Je ne suis pas français mais j’adore tout ce qui concerne ce pay, l’histoire, l’architecture, la langue, la bouffe ( je me la pete un peu avec mes mots d’argot lol)
D’ailleurs ton anglais est impeccable
Je vais bientôt jouer à ce jeu just pour le plaisir de parcourir la belle ville de Paris
im an american but i absolutely admire the french revolution! everyone seems to hate it over here in the us, but i agree the game is super cool.
not french, never had the impression that the game had "anti-revolution" propaganda, it felt like pro-revolution
if you're proud of the French Revolution and believe it was a positive historical event, you're a sick person. As are your countrymen who believe the same
It's not propaganda, it's the truth. Neither side of the french revolution was good, you had the severely disconnected nobles and the murderous hordes
This game will always be my favorite assassins creed game. It's like playing inside a fancy painting.
That’s such a good description. I finally played it last year after it sitting in my library and I couldn’t believe how much I loved it. It’s my favorite ac although I wish it were longer. It’s such a beautiful game.
@@GangstarComputerGod the 1 thing I love is just the level of detail and overall exploration.
Yo werd
Congrats on getting to 69 likes😉
I'll give it another go after finishing syndicate
Arno was the closest thing we’ve had to Ezio in a long time, I loved the parkour, stealth, and combat as well. It still felt like a true AC game unlike what we have now
Plus the Thomas de Carneillon sequence at the beginning was more immersive and memorable than the entire Odyssey and Valhalla games combined.
Arno is top 3 for me, I also see him having ezios charm
ye as much as i like odyseey its not AC they should call it something elste.
@@Direwoof it is
@@Direwoof Something like Odyssey: An Assassin's Creed Tale or Assassin's Creed Myths: Odyssey would have suited the content of the game better.
I downloaded and played this game without ever knowing a thing about its reputation; i had only played ac ii and brotherhood before, and was really unsure about not playing Ezio anymore... But i loved this game so, so much. Arno is a complicated character, but i do like him and get his motivations, and the set??? Holy moly it is MAGICAL to walk through Revolutionary France and actually be part of the history! I didn't even realize there were bugs, didn't even realize the story wasn't the best until i finished it. It was so, so good, i played it nonstop for a whole week and didn't get bored a single moment. Sometimes it is better to go into something with a completely open mind.
To me, Unity was to AC games as Tokyo Drift was to the Fast and Furious franchise. They both embodied the pure spirit of their respective series in very good ways (assassin fantasy and car racing) before the gradual changes in subsequent entries saw significant formula shifts. They also both were very underrated and criticised at the time of their release, only to gain a better reception over time and with hindsight.
That's an interesting take. I like it!
I started playing AC Unity during the COVID lockdown last year. Man, I think it's safe to say this game is AC in its purest form.
Lol that’s just not true. Unity is about Arno chasing a Templar lover rather than avenging his father’s death at the hands of Shay. Unity is easily the worst AC game.
@@factcheck1013 Lmfao nothing you said doesn’t make it a true Assassins creed game 🤦🏻♂️🤡 In terms of parkour, combat, mission setup, and setting, it is easily one of (if not) the best assassins creed titles ever released.
@@patrickbrannigan8 Lmfaoooo the parkour was horrible, you hold RT and A and Arno does the same wavy arm jump every time. This was also the first AC game that did away with assassination confessions and the only reason why people like the location is because it has the European architecture of the older games. And combat? What an even bigger joke. Just hit B then X every time. Yet you say this is what makes an AC game rather than good story and good mechanics. Seems to me you only hate these newer games and praise Unity because your daddy youtubers do.
@@factcheck1013 I’ve never seen someone so pressed about Unity 😂🥱 just tells me you’re trash you rather spam r1 and use you’re ridiculous ass abilities to carry you through the combat
@Yer Da While I agree Brotherhood is special and served its purpuse, I still feel Unity is what a modern AC can be. While the Spartan and Viking fantasies were fun, they were NOT AC games, and it is sad those are the modern AC games we got.
I played Unity on a Xbox One X 1 year ago and never had one bug that break the game. I love this game. The parkour, the visuals, the city, the future missions and everything is great. I just wish more poeple could just enjoy Unity for what it is.
Most bugs takes place in multiplayer, which was still pretty busy when I played it months ago.
@@kedrickisaac6807 oh i never played multiplayer.
I'm playing unity right now on Xbox series x.. not 1 bug.. no issues. Unity is one of the top 3 AC games of all time.
Is it worth to buy it now?
@@jarnevandevoorde3350 yes
sequence 9 memory 2 was actually one of my favorite assassinations in the whole game cause it really fit the French Revolution setting with the riots outside of a fancy party and it felt like a hitman level blending in at the party and getting out undetected
I love the server breach moments, and I'm frustrated that you can't freely explore these other times. I'd love a game that allows to be in Paris and jump back and forth in time to explore different periods, like man, the 1900 Paris looks amazing, and the 1944 one seems so interesting too.
I'm playing Unity for the first time in 2022 and it's also the first AC I'm playing for so long, I never got hooked to an AC game like Unity before. 8 usually play the first three or four missions and get bored, sometimes I don't even finish the intro because it's too long... But Unity? I love it!
You are not a true Assassin's Creed fan if you get bored by the games that easily... So f off
I’m gonna get the game soon and I’m really hyped!
I feel like AC Unity is the turning point for the company. Everything about the way they treat their game and customers changed radically after Unity. If Unity had done well, Ubisoft’s direction wouldn’t be where we are now.
Highly debatable, Ubisoft has used shady practices for decades.
@@executioner_ecgbert884 It was the reason they changed their entire franchise tho. And you gotta respect them for trying to reinvent their wheels in AC and Watch Dogs, even if they failed... like, always.
@@njux1871 the thing is, I never wanted them to reinvent the wheel :( I enjoyed the first watch dogs and unity, but now those franchises are nothing like their flagship games because the internet bitched about it
This comment is true. If only they had released it in a complete state and made the combat feel more like AC3ish, they’d have a great AC game for the past. Present story would still be shit, but the game in itself wouldn’t have beem hated on nearly as much.
I actually like the RPG elements of the new games but I do agree they've sorta killed the franchise
I’m not gonna lie, this game was so spectacular. But what struck me the most was the attention to detail. There were many times where I didn’t even need the map because the road layouts were so well done that I knew them from living in Paris, or the principal districts in the game actually felt familiar. It was astounding
That’s actually sick as fuck😂 I remember when they were announcing this game they really showed how much detail went into making diff landmarks like notre dame, French Revolution was literally the perfect setting for an assassins creed game
@@alexmcqueen2916 didn't they also use this game to help rebuild notre dame after the fire?
@@NFSGamerful yes
@@NFSGamerful Thats insane to think about, right? And so cool
I had a similar experience in Boston with AC 3.
There was one point where I thought I caught them making a mistake.
Somewhere near Boston common I thought "this street does not let out there". And then I looked up an old map and it turns out it used to.
this is actually one of my favourite AC games. the parkour, the stealth, the graphics, the combat, the story. its just so good
This was my first AC game and I absolutely loved it. The French Revolution was the best set up for an assassins creed game. Also, the parkour and a the assassinations felt amazing in this game. It just hits me different.
Edit: I forgot to mention Arno and Elise story. MY GOD I LOVE HOW IT GOES BACK AND FORTH WITH HIM CAUGHT UP IN ALL THE DILLEMAS HE HAS TO FACE…
Have you played any of the new games?
@@XmarcX92 the new trilogy
Personally i dont like it
I like rpgs
But if i want to play an rpg i play the witcher or skyrim or fallout
But assassins creed is his own genre
The parkour, customization, the setting, graphics and stealth. Plus it was multiplayer?? This was so close to being what we all wanted the ACs to be before it and it was so close. I want them to give it another shot w another REAL AC game.
For real bro. I mean i loved the egyptian, greek and viking settings but i just despise the rpg element. But i also felt like spartans and vikings weren't really fit for AC considering they fought loud and fierce in big battles, not very assassin. I would pay any amount of money to get another AC game like unity or the Ezio trilogy
yeah! not the shit they are shoving on our faces right now!
@@mikegivesnofuckss1732 so a viking or a Spartan can't learn to fight stealthily.
true man. the last 3 acs were not bad games, but no really assassin games. i think ac4 dealed with the "crossover" perfectly and the new one didnt got it done properly
@@alexmcintyre9012 sure they can. But it wasn't their way of fighting. The viking and spartan era just doesn't fit into the assassin world.. but that's just my personal opinion.
Honestly, this seven year old game has one of the best graphics I have ever seen and it's holding up until this day very well..
After finishing valhalla and see these graphics, I was like Wow thats a huge step forward.
@@fixxa6455 was the game good ? im thinking about downloading it , and does it have parkour like the old AC games ?
@@kratosofboy1276 Valhalla has less parkour then Unity, but its definately there. The combat of Valhalla is the best of the whole series.
What sort of player are you. If you like parkour I would choose origins or unity. I like combat the most so i loved valhalla. The big cities and Raiding castles in England has some parkour climbing the towers and defence walls until you can get to the boss fights. Try to get thegn armor early in game (youtube tells you the location) and also try to find the yngling dagger and suttungr dagger. Its a nice critical hit build with fast daggers. Focus on main quests, but skip the mainquest in your own village
@@fixxa6455 thank you very much this was really helpful i'll download the game and give it a try
just stop dude
It's actually my favorite game in the assassin's franchise after the ezio trilogy and i really love how when people replay it they see the beauty i see in it.
I hope they can give this formula another try and focus more on making a real stealth story driven game the same way they did with unity
Its been almost a year since this video was released and god damn is it good. Jayvee has a certain charm and charisma to him that not many other game commentary CZcamsrs have. I was hooked through the entire video, not one second did I get bored. The jokes, editing, and talking points all pair together perfectly with each other. As I'm typing this I literally have AC Unity Installing in the background. Thats how good and inspiring this video is. I feel like I'm pandering but honestly great work with this one, truly.
Go make a good Arno outfit that gives him 5 stars but doesn't make him look like a clown. The trick is to use a 4 star coat, but all other gear has to be 5 star cuz 5 star coats belong in a circus.
I managed to do it too; my Arno looked so good.
PS: Don't use the brown AC outfit you get from the menu as it doesn't have a hidden blade and cutscenes look so weird wearing that.
@@Kronos0999 was this reply for me lol
same, but the edits got very annoying very fast, just show more gameplay, your dialogue is good enough you don't need a meme every 5 seconds, imo
I played Unity last year and it broke my heart to think that it could have been the start of another Trilogy
I want an Arno sequel so bad :'(
@@clickycrust me too. Everytime I see Arno's name, I remember poor Elise 😢
The games growing in popularity
@@itzdougie9745 yea and hopefully Ubisoft does something good
@CARbine I know, I'm just hoping
To be fair, the mouth sync and overall expressiveness of characters was really good in Unity. For me way better than Valhalla's or any other AC game for that matter.
Yeah I think so too, the faces just look more expressive and realistic
Still not better than Origins.
@@stephordless8876 Bro Origins is legitimately one of my favorite games, but have you seen the NPC animations??? They're only quality in cutscenes for the most part. Unity has great facial expressions across the board
@@irecordwithaphone1856 I agree on the animations needing more versatility and improvements specifically the fighting animations. However, origins still has the best story, character and environment out of the newer AC games. If Origins had Valhalla or even odyssey’s animations, then it would be the best new AC game that came out within the last 9 years.
@@stephordless8876 I agree, ACO had a really storyline, but a doomed "love story" between 2 different powerhouses. For me, that was eye-catching
Played it when it came out and it was awesome back then. Loved the city, the customization, the parkour, and the story.
What made me love this game was during my junior year of high school I had European history and when it came out I was learning about the French revolution! I felt like an expert in class with all my previous knowledge from this game. It's pretty awesome how they really captured the time period well and remained pretty historically accurate, besides your role in it! Although my major complaint was Arnos ability to enter windows! Constantly cussing and shouting cuz Arno cant climb through a window!!! As a huge fan of these games growing up I really appreciate these reviews and you echo a lot of my sane opinions on the franchise.
Same here. As with AC3 where we were learning about the American Revolution, and I'm like "CHARLES LEE IN THE BAD GUY IN AC3! I KNOW HIM." When my teacher was telling us about the Battle of Monmouth. Lol
This is the closest experience to the original Assassin's creed gameplay, sensation, and atmosphere. In a modern occidental version. You're a real badass shadow that stealth and roam a large atmospheric teared city, full of life and in crisis. It has its flaws (story is wack) but gameplay wise it was probably the most immersive assassin's creed of all time. Peak of the series to me.
What’s so bad about the story? Arno is revealed to be a very interesting character by the time the story finishes
@@PabloJustChillin Yes exactly, that's the problem. You always waits the story to take you to another level of drama and narrative and when Arno loses everything and finally become interesting and full of self awareness, with that marvelous speech about the Creed, well the game is just over already lol. It would be interesting to have him simping for Elise and getting fouled by the Creed for half of the game and him, years after, being a cold and badass avenging master Assassin who rebuild the Creed from dust.
True. Last time I wasted 3 hours finishing a mission like these was since Altair of AC1. I bought it last week and never regret it. Well, aside from bearable movement bugs here and there but it's manageable and not that nerve wracking. The parkour and stealth focus on this one is insane, way better than Altair's.
The parkour🤤
Unity is the best in terms of graphics and gameplay, but ezio’s trilogy and Desmond’s story were the best in the series by far, it’s crazy how they messed up a story like that
I still have Assassin's Creed: Unity in my game folder to this day! And although I have finished both the main story and the Dead Kings DLC long ago. I still play the free roam parkour. It's just so damn addicting and underappreciated too! If only more people will be patient and enjoy this underrated quality game in the franchise.
I have every Assassins Creed game from 1 to Valhalla on my PC try me xD But ya Unity is an amazing game
I'd really like to experience everything from the start again in Unity.
Sadly, you can't just start a new game and create a new save file. Same with Syndicate.
@@bustanut5501 That's really what annoys me with both of these games unlike its predecessors or even successors. You have to uninstall them or replay the previous sequences.
@@bustanut5501 Actually u can, in your folder where Ubisoft connect is located you can go into the folder save games and simply delete the folder 720 (code for unity, syndicate is 1875) make sure to have auto sync deactivated so the cloud wont search for save games. And if you wanna keep your old save file you can simply make a folder on your desktop or wherever and copy the folder 720 into that and thus u can switch between saves. Meaning simply switching out your 2 save games. PS : make sure to save the entire folder 720 or 1875 not just one of the files in the folder ^^
@@thehiddenone2875 That sounds great and all, but I play on console. :D
Thanks for this video, it just made me want to play again! I loved the game back in the day and I always thought it was one of the best AC ever.
Really enjoyed the video. Felt like someone for the first time talked honestly instead of interpreting other's polls and verdicts.
I wish u all the best to u in ur way ahead.
Ah yes, the last true assassin‘s creed game. The one where you actually join A order and try your best to be discreet with all of your decision making.
I recently played it as well. Immediately became my third favorite AC game. Only beaten by Black Flag and the Ezio games. I love the time period, there is still an emphasis placed on assassinations, and I enjoy Arno as a character.
he just made me download this game and buy it lol

Unity has been, and still is my favourite Assassins Creed game for years. I know it isn't perfect by any means, but I think it embodies the spirit of the Series so well.

@@kemonops1540 pfft unity doesn't make u sad at all the story is trash the gameplay is fluid and awesome,the only game that'll make u cry is rdr2.
It was probably the last legit assassin's creed game that held most if not all the values, essence and emotion of the original assassin's creed franchise. And then it went down hill
Unity thematically is like a shallow Ezio trilogy. With all the big words but meaning none of it. The end of the game being the prime example.
Uh Syndicate?
I love origins, put like 70 hours into it.
I don't know why y'all keep saying origins isn't Assassin's Creed yes it is it's literally how everything started
@@christianalexander579 Only because they tell you it is. But in that game, you can stick a blade in someone's throat and they don't die, and then you run off to fight a giant crocodile faced god, or you go to a different dimension to fight giant scorpions in the middle of glow in the dark lotus flowers. Not very assassin's creed really.
After playing AC2 with my gf and then playing Unity while waiting on my eBay copy of brotherhood to show up I gotta say I love the climbing in Unity. Arno can absolutely launch himself across the rooftops and it feels really good.
I loved playing this game. Getting out of class then hopping online with the boys to do co op missions. It would be so much better if they ran off of this game in terms of co op. Open World 4 player Story Mode would’ve been great. They also quit updating club competitions after some time which was a way for your squad to show how nice you guys are.
I absolutely loved AC Unity. I first played it a few years ago and straight-out fell for it. I faced almost no bugs while playing the game and the gameplay was just awesome.
I have always loved and supported this reformist AC game no matter the buggy launch, definitely a strong game and worth to play
Definitely my second favourite AC game. The parkour is definitely my favourite
Arno is the most stylish and elegant Assassin's Creed MC. nobody can deny this, who thought making a rich boy as a serial killer looks this fantastic 🤷
Far cry 3 did
Assassins creed 2 did and unity copied
@P33N i remember ezio family is banker and when is father died He bacame assassin for revenge but diffrince he become a wise man to
İn fc 3 you are a maniac kid after you became maniac kid with weapon:D
Well I think Ezio is a lot more elegant and stylish. He is a better combination of elegance and assassin in my opinion. But maybe it's all just because I hate Arno and think he is the worst assassin protag in all of AC (not in terms of skill or anything)
Tf are you talking about he was one of the most annoying and dull protagonists out of the whole series besides connor
As someone who is always a year or two behind new releases, Unity has always been my favorite. Looked so good and then the release was botched and I was real bummed out. But when I finally got to it, and it was patched to shit, I fell in love. The movement is incredible, and the combat was tough but satisfying, and the introduction of in depth customization was fantastic. I love that we can all play through the game and come out at the end with an assassin that suits us completely. From colors to outfits to weapons, everyone had a very distinct look, and yet every one felt like part of the Brotherhood. A little more time in the oven and unity could have been the blueprint for all AC games to come
It’s fixed ?
Finished it like 2 days ago. I had sooooo much fun playing this game. After 8 years from initial release 99% of problems are gone.
I really think that’s one of the best AC ever.
I just finished Unity yesterday. The movement and combat can be a bit janky (even if it does look cool) but overall I really enjoyed the story, the setting, and the gameplay. I think this is a solid game. People should give it a chance.
I played it before my french revolution history exam and the dates kinda helped
All AC movement is pretty janky unfortunately
@@KwBeee definitely i just finished AC 3 remastered and the parkour to me still feels comparable to AC Syndicate accidentally running up something i didn’t want to and such i like the feel in origins and odyssey but then again can we really call running around in ancient times parkour? Lol maybe more of a true free running feel but definitely not hardcore parkour
It's aight. I liked Rogue better
@@Imperial-simp_destroyer AC Origins has really good parkour system, your actually weird if you said AC Origins has is not hardcore parkour, you prolly just fast travel to location, at-least not me when I’m playing in a village I don’t fast travel at all, I do parkour and it’s amazing when you actually know how to do parkour with the controls it got
It hurts to me to imagine how good this series could have become if they'd just stuck with this formula and refined it. This was the closest they ever got to what I think the series originally strived for. They just needed a little bit more polish and fixing and the series could have finally reached it's pinnacle if they'd just continued on this path. I'm not saying the new series isn't good, I loved origins, though with each iteration they seem to be getting more and more lazy. At this point I wish they'd just do a split series, one with the rpg style and one with the classic style.
YESSSSS, imagine the games we would have if they didnt gave up completely... Nowadays we thank Ubisoft for adding the hidden blade 😑
I only wish that in Unity we could fight with our fists and hidden blade, disarm enemies and all that, Unity isnt perfect but is way better tham the new games, it trully feels next gen, even today
@@guicoelho14 agreed. although its fair to mention that the point of unity was to not get into combat too much in the first place hence the stealth mechanics and all kinds of grenades and stuff to assassinate your way forward.
It’s growing in popularity
I don't know if you play on pc but it's still alive
@@saltymedpac3943 mp shutdown on console
I love this video! It is hilarious🤣 and a good review, keep posting amazing content.
I'm playing through every Assassin's Creed game in order during my summer break (teacher) and I have to say that Unity is BY FAR my favorite. Admittedly, I'm only halfway through Syndicate right now, but Unity has felt the most "alive" out of any of the other games so far. Loved the video!
For me,Syndicate felt the most alive in terms of world.Crowds in Unity are very impressive but NPCs in Syndicate have their own daily routines and you can see them doing many activities through the different parts of London.
I have experienced literally like 0 glitches in all of my time playing ac unity over the years, hundreds of hours im sure. To be fair, i did wait until a year after it launched to get it because of the horrible reviews about it being glitchy, but in my experience they seemed to have ironed it out quickly. This is without a doubt in my mind the best gameplay ac unity has ever had, and i think it is the best designed city in all of AC. I slept on this game for a while, when i first got it and played it i just wasnt impressed for some reason, and i didnt like the story. In hindsight my love for the older AC games was literally blinding me to the incredible improvements this game made. This AC, and the british one after, are the last non "bullet sponge" like enemies of AC. Origins at least had instant assassinations but the combat was nowhere near as good as AC Unity'. The parkour has literally never felt better and the fact that they got rid of free running down is an absolute shame, but i do understand that it would have been a fucking nightmare to code that in a way that works in the open worlds of origins, odyssey etc. The stealth gameplay is literally top notch, first ac to add a dedicated crouch button (took ubisoft way too fucking long to do that) and paris' large crowds are perfect for the blend mechanic, which is also the best its ever been since its directly tied to gear bonus' and skills, so you could be a heavy armored assassin who just crushed through everyone, or be a perfect stealth assassin that is able to blend into the crowd so well that you can stealth assassinate and then quickly disappear in the crowd. Also smaller point but this game has the best cloth physics (at least for player character clothing, which is the most important) out of any other AC game
yeah like the only glitch I experienced was that one time an enemy bugged into the ground after I killed him and just kinda flopped around for 10 minutes and that was honestly hilarious
I played at launch (well, like 1 week after cause I got the collectors edition and took forever to be delviered). By then, there was launch day and 1 other patch I believe. I had a bit of pop in with the AI NPCs (but thats just a render limitation, not a bug IMO), and a couple times I noticed hitching when running around the town. And I had 2 . . . 2! . . . total crashes. (I kept track cause I heard it was bad). Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla have all crashed more then Unity did on me.
Literally, thats it. No horror faces. No people disappearing. Don't recall combat halting the middle of it. I 100%, so no bugs on missions. There is plenty of footage out there of the issues, but I still can't comprehend how it was so bad for so many other people cause my experience was exactly on par with other gaming experiences.
Wassail, you took the words right out of my mouth.
I got Unity for Christmas, 2014, by which time it was already massively patched. I've played it so much over the last 7 years, no doubt clocking several hundred hours if not more. I know I've only ever had 2 bugs/glitches - one where a dead guard got caught in a stall and started going crazy, and one other time when I fell through the floor. But those are just two times! The Witcher 3, another of my all time favourite games, had many more than that!
I also don't understand people's issue with Arno - I liked him as a character, he was charming and I understood his motivations, and that how well he knows Élise means he sees that Templars aren't by definition evil, and them teaming up pragmatically felt right.
Unity is quite possibly my favourite game *overall* in this franchise, and one of my favourite games full stop. I know I've been lucky to have a near entirely unbuggy experience with it, but I struggle to think of a single game of such scope that hasn't glitched or faltered
I've only had one in Paris where when I climbed up I hit a weird angle and fell through the map. Only glitch that happened
I love Unity but... Are you using parkour? It gets bugged now and then.
Dude, finally a review that is actually accurate about the game, much away from the "ITS A BUGGY GAME, KILL IT PLZ". AC Unity is one of my favorites AC in the saga, thank you so much for doing this and being honest with it, but mainly for actually PLAYING THE GAME AND ENJOYING IT!
I love this game its by far one of the goats love it
Thats because at launch it was a buggy mess it was boarderline unplayable hes being honest about the game and how it is now because its basically not even the same game the game is good now but if you played this game at launch or any time frame with in like a year or 2 of its release it was so broken you wouldn't even be able to boot it up in some peoples case and when you could arno was falling through the map not fully loading getting stuck in walls fighting invisible enamies the whole works it was an absolute mess and was a huge wake up call for ubisoft to step back on the yearly releases
I literally just finished it a few hours ago and hated it, it’s an awful game. The bug ruin everything mid mission a bug kills you bam restart the whole mission
A year later and here I am finding myself absolutely loving this game. It didn't deserve the hate it got and honestly IMO it deserves a next gen remaster.
It‘s crazy how it still holds up with the graphics. For me, I don‘t need a remaster just now. Give it a couple of years.
Bro its already next gen
I bought it years ago and didn’t think much of it. I started playing it again yesterday to get some distraction from quitting smoking and so far I really like it. Yes it’s buggy sometimes but it feels ahead of it’s time. Really enjoying it thus far.
I played Unity last year, 1st time I ever played it, and loved it. Definitely worth it
Unity’s parkour is definitely my favorite in the series
A weirdly common statement considering how dysfunctional the parkour is. I lost track of how many times Arno would get stuck on a bit of fence or something and just _wouldn't come down_ because lord forbid I make a mistake and get fall damage. Let me jump off to my death if I choose to, don't make me hang off a ledge and hold a button to let go like a grandma.
Honestly I just played unity for the first time this week (I didn’t have an “next gen console” at the time) but i totally love it! The story was engaging, the attention to historical accuracy was awesome and I can actually play with my little brother! It really sucks that it’s remembered so poorly
Jayvee I always come back to this video every month and I think more people started playing this game after this video came out 👏🏽👏🏽
To be honest i enjoyed every mission /side mission of this game because of the cutscenes that are so nice to watch and I also love history games like this when you can explore a little bit how it was in "1790" for example.
Coop has some of the best missions of the game and can also be incredibly rewarding if you pull them off alone or with a friend.
the first actually good video u made, good job
I skipped out on this game, and now I want to play through the series again, picking up the ones I missed like this and origins because I’ve heard surprisingly good things about them.
Finished it for the first time, like 30 mins ago. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE< don't miss it. it's just exactly what we want from AC, no cap.
Syndicate was the last "true" AC game Origins/Oddessy/and Valhalla Are just old Mythology adventures with AC name slapped on it
Not true origins was the last
Origins does still have AC title in it, don't get me wrong, i'm an old AC player
It just doesn't have that historical feel it feels more like a mythology atiri
@@christianalexander579 no syndicate was
Origins was interesting to see how the Brotherhood (or hidden ones I guess) was created and the roots of the Templar's Order and a lot of AC lore (leap of faith, hidden blade, finger sacrifice), combat felt nothing like AC (compare AC Origin arcadey combat to how grounded it is in Unity and yeah it's night and day) but with social stealth and no leveling system it would have 100% been a true AC game, it didn't need much and in terms of story it 100% was Assassin's creed
AC Odyssey is when Ubisoft had a brain fart and forgot to put assassins and creeds in their assassin's creed game
If this game didn't have such a broken release, this is what AC could still be like today.
Best AC game to date.
I think another problem was the fact that people said AC was getting stale and samey. After 3 RPG games coming back to this feels refreshing and nostalgic at the same time
What about syndicate?
@@lordofhackers2101 let's not talk about he game. Beside the world design, I can't think of anything positive about the game.
@@Desmond-xp4wr I see but wasn’t what the great era is assassins was like?
It’s player count is going up a lot
great overview. Will play this one after Origins
My biggest issue with this game is the combat system. I hate that once Arno takes his sword out you cannot switch to hidden blades like in the older games. It makes using smoke bombs way less effective when you get in a pinch.
The only problem i had with the game tbh
Well, at least you can throw the smoke bomb and then tackle targets down and spam the attack button to kill them quickly with the hidden blade while they are on the ground.
@Kuhmunistische_Partei that's not a good compromise
Personally, I loved that Arno didnt fit into the Assassin box. The point that's being driven home is that assassin's arent necessarily good. Templar's arent bad. Arno was stuck in the middle. He didnt ask to be an assassin, Bellec convinced him to be an assassin, seeing him as a tool to be used against his hated templars. Everything is always compared to Ezio. Ezio is the perfect assassin. But after 3 games of him, Im tired of the perfect assassin. Seeing these characters who don't fit the mold find their own way to the assassin ideology is much more interesting for me. My major gripe about Unity's story is the pacing. There's a huge chunk in the middle where it's just a checklist. Wish they had used it instead to flesh out Arno's relationship with Bellec before having to kill him. Also without the dlc, the game ends at a weird spot right before Arno's character resolution. Luckily, Dead Kings is free so they didnt keep that arc behind a paywall.
Completely agree with you about Arno. In my opinion he is a more interesting character than Ezio. He loses everything and even gets exiled from the order. You are also so right about Bellec using him as a tool. I somewhat agree about the pacing in the middle however I thought a lot of the main story missions were a ton of fun. Bellec absolutely should have been in the game more though.
@@jimmymurphy898 A friendly reminder, Ezio also lost everything.
Im not arguing who is better.
I liked unity, the map was cool and having all those interiors was quite different from preovious AC games. To me Unity has some of the best assassination missions to this day and the murder mystery missions were great fun. It’s interesting to think how AC would have gone had this game been successful. The failure of Unity financially led to syndicate failure and the change in direction after Witcher 3.
Also it was such a missed opportunity imo to not have crossed over Arno, Connor, Aveline.
Cool Comment. I'm playing AC Unity right now. I have the game since late 2014 but i stopped playing it after like a Day. It was infested with Bugs and the game would have gigantic Trouble with Servercrashes or other unavailable Features. I could not access certain Missions or Costumize Arno. Eventhough the Stuff i had, was available. So at some point i just left it. Been playing all the other Games though. Imo Unity is one of the better Alternatives compared to Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla. Unity feels like a Assassin's Creed Game and it feels like a Assassin's Creed Story. You actually are a Assassin and you follow the Creed.
Forget arno, they still haven't given a sequel to Edward and bayek.
I absolutely love that they put the Marquis de Sade in the game
It's June 2022, and I'm still playing Unity.
I'm the guy who collects every treasure since AC 1, does every mission and even collected every little feather in AC 3.
I still haven't played any AC after unity as I wanted to finish this one first. Thanks for a great video
I agree, the positives an details and enjoyment do outweigh the funky controls and bugs here and there and dull Arno.
Looking forward to finally finishing it and trying the newer ones. But unity if definitely one of my favourites.
This game is amazing! The atmosphere it has, the setting, the parkour, the world, everything is great. I played the game a year ago and I've never encountered a single bug.
Well yeah it was 2020
The cut scenes feel like a cinematic movie!
great video, also I think Paris in AC Unity is the best city environment you can explore in a game still in 2022
The parkour in this game is the best parkour system in the entire franchise, if they could bring it back without the bugs it'll be an amazing return for the next game
The original to Revelations was better
@@yourdad5799 The original as in AC1? AC1 has the worst, ACII made little progress, it was Brotherhood and Revolations that sped it up in a good way and got generally better every game after. I've only played AC1 through to AC Rogue as they to me are the only real AC games
@@yourdad5799 Uh, sorry but no. It's the most boring and flat parkour ever in a videogame. It's clumsy, slow and boring. You can't just accept that a modern AC did something better.
@@Kebbb I can say that for Unity too. Add needless automatization. But Unity fanboys are a different breed in all the wrong ways
@@Kebbb the writing, soundtrack, and overall quality was WAY better back then. Even past that, Black Flag is a better overall game than even Unity.
Solid breakdown, jayvee!! You have made me wanna play Unity again... and I have over two hundred hours in it lol. I am so with you on the De La Saire plot being a footnote & getting Arno to being a fully invested Assassin much earlier in the story. I also yearn for sequel stories that are decidedly about the Assassin agenda & how it weaves in and out of history as we know it.
Which all leads to a question of direction. Right now AC sits in this gnarly mid-ground between serial story and disconnected anthology. It wants long-time fans to still think it's going somewhere, but has largely proven that it's more interested in telling self-contained stories that mirror one-another. When you said "Even if they had given us something to chew on, we probably wouldn't have seen the ending anyway", it made me wonder if we'll ever see *an* ending to Assassin's Creed or if Assassin's Creed needs an ending at all. What do you think?
Dude! Thanks for taking the time to write this and I'm super glad you liked the video :)
I would kill for a sequel story!! The Ezio games showed us how great those stories can be so it's just tough to not think about it when playing the new ones.
On the ending of AC, that's an awesome question. I almost think you can look at every game since AC3 and get your answer. Ubi doesn't seem to want to end it and maybe that's why the endings of the newer games feel less satisfying. Personally I like when stories have endings, I think closure is a big part of what makes me enjoy a story. These games seem to just "end". I think that's what I love about Black Flag, you get some SERIOUS closure in that game that hits like a train. There's other reasons that one worked so well but I'm with you, I wonder if we'll ever see the end. My money is on that we won't, not unless this thing crashes and burns.
@@jayveeeee Same!! The Desmond saga just has a completely different vibe from the newer games, a vibe which isn't completely at odds with the new style of AC, that I would love to see return. I'm curious to know if you were satisfied by Valhalla's somewhat resolution to the plot setup in the Desmond games.
Great point about Black flag. It had a powerful character resolution for Edward. In some ways it mirrored Ezio's journey in that way we had a full career with him before he sailed back to England. That seems pretty rare in AC games for the sake of their origin story-ness. I'm the same way; I want a satisfying ending to a game's story and eventually to a franchise altogether. But you're right, I highly doubt we'll see anything definitive until AC runs fully out of steam.
I think you're missing the point. They let you play 12 or is it 13 different ages, areas, people, history. Anything else was trying to cash in on AC1's selling success. Any part 2 would have meant less original new age, history, stories about the people in that age. You'd get copy and paste forever. Thousands would hate it. I know I'd hate it. People hated it back in those years too, I've read. You guys talk among yourselves, so you think everyone thinks that way. I hated Star Trek TNG doing these drawn out long one planet 2 or 3 parters. If that helps. I hated Deep Space 9 even more cause it was all one thing, dumb idea. If that comparison helps any.
@@jayveeeee you will?
@@jayveeeee Agreed. The same reason I love Origins ending (despite it being messy) is why I love Black Flags ending. They both feel concrete, wrap their characters arcs up but leave room for more, and have great significance to the series and protagonists. If Origins' ending was fleshed out more, it would be widely loved imo
Geez, I was looking forward to the next game and didn't know what to do, will play Unity till then!!
Great video. Totally Agree, it's sad to see where my favorite gaming franchise has gone.
This game was way ahead of its time. I still play its co-op missions with my friend and damn, they are so good. I just forget everything else and get immersed in the game, and I think that's what a game is meant to be, forget everything all worries for a bit and get immersed in the story and fantasy of the game. Great video btw.
My co op doseint work for som reason
@@jaydenashley5567 any specific error message or something?
I am playing this game for the first time to complete my AC list and man! You have literally taken away my words.
I exactly feel the same what you have mentioned in the video despite the hate this game got.
This game is so unique and so deep. There's ton of variety on how to do mission with some minor drawbacks but I'm totally invested in this game.
Great video man. 😄
Enjoy every bit of it man! I don't think there will be another game like it any time soon
It had so much potential.

"Let's dive right in the controversy. This video is sponsored by Monster Legends"
LOL
I had bought this game either at launch or recently after launch on my PS4 back in the day. It was the first Assassin's Creed game that I had ever played through and though I heard all about the negative reviews and hate for the game, I played through the game and if there were any bugs experienced, it definitely wasn't enough to ruin my experience! I absolutely loved playing through this game! In a similar fashion, I also played through Arkham Origins and that game ended up being my absolute favorite game in the Batman Arkham series games! I'm loving this video
I played unity years after it was released just to stay busy for a few hrs and I ended up really liking the game. Running around paris was really fun and I enjoyed the combat a lot
I’m replaying it now actually! I don’t know why I used to think I didn’t like this game… but now in replying I realise I love it too.
It also seems to be the first game in the series that starts to sway away from constant desynchronisations, and I’m all for it. I loved that the game pretty much said, “Here you go, here’s your mission/here’s your target. Use the people and situations around you to create your own outcome.”
It made it so much more enjoyable for me, rather than playing by the book and getting really angry cause you can’t achieve full synchronisation on each mission. It completely gave you your own freedom to play the game how you wanted to all while somehow still feeling like an Assassin’s Creed game. You wanna be super stealthy? Great. You wanna go in all guns a blazin’. No worries. You wanna try stealth but then get caught halfway through and end up fighting out the rest of the mission? That’s cool too.
So yeah I really like it actually!
I always felt Unity was the best in the series when it comes down the formula we loved in the first game. We need to go back to this style. 👌🏻🙌🏻
it was a simple & fantastic review.
Absolutely fantastic video. I agree with your take on the gameplay clashing with the story; it's called "Ludonarrative Dissonance." I started a replay of Unity on my PS5 after last playing it in 2015 and I've really come to appreciate it much more. Yes, there are issues (like with ludonarrative dissonance). However, like you said - this is the ultimate Assassin fantasy. Had the game been given more time to roast (or bake, whichever the goto metaphor), this could've been one of the best Assassin's Creed games and high up with the Ezio trilogy and other titles.
Hopefully, Mirage takes us back to this and much more.
As a French dude with a Degree in History, this game just offered my biggest virtual orgasm when Napoleon popped up in the story! The real historical figures in this game - and their stories - are fantastic : even in coop missions when defending Danton, stories with the Girondists, Mirabeau at the Pantheon...
I have no words to express how much I still love to dive into this 230+ YO Paris
I don't have a degree in History but I loved all history classes from "collège" to "lycée". And I did get the "OMG THAT'S NAPOLEON" when he turned around in that room. I was smiling stupidly at my computer as he introduced himself 😂 I don't know, going through Revolution Paris and trying to see all the little details they kept or adpated was indeed really enjoyable 😋
This is why I've loved AC from the get.. I am a history buff, always have been
surtout à la mission où on doit défendre Napoléon j'était si fière xD
Never understood why everyone hated unity so much, will remain one of my favourite assassins creeds
31:00 This video was definitely amazing!
You mixed informative with entertaining perfectly!
Seeing this makes me realize how AC lost its identity. Great video Jayvee, I enjoyed it :)
Love it man. I figured you’d be positive so I’d been looking forward to this video. One thing that didn’t get mentioned is that I think the point about Arno embracing the Brotherhood wasn’t really tied up until Dead Kings so I think he does come full circle there but not in the main storyline. Helping Leon really helps him get his mind right
Unity is my favourite AC game, had the best parkour, stealth, and yes the Assassin fantasy, it's an awesome game and I loved it when it first came out as well. I hated that everyone was hating on it in the beginning but I'm glad it's getting the recognition it deserves now.
Intro: "lets start right into the controversies" *followed up by a sponser* gahhh but ahhh, brilliant
I think it still remains the best looking AC game ever. I remember playing it and just looking at the design going "Holy wow, how the heck does it look that good!"
This game honestly reminds me of the Star Wars prequels in a way I always loved the prequels and AC unity but both things got unreasonable hate from a decent amount of ppl when they first came out but after some time both the prequels and AC unity are getting the love and respect they deserve
This game was amazing, the ambience, the music, the design, the historic reconstruccion, graphics, gameplay. Wish I could play it again for the first time.
Jayvee: The Stealth is so fun and really sells the assassin experience
Me: *laughs in guillotine gun*
you can really tell through this video you were really passionate about this game
I’m so happy that came through man thank you!! 🙏
