Should You Buy Assassin's Creed Unity in 2022? (Review)

Assassin's Creed Unity ever since it's release has always been a very controversial game but slowly over time the game has come into quite a positive light by most players. I always like to defend Assassin's Creed Unity and the game has a very special place in my heart for multiple reasons. It may not be perfect but to me it's a diamond in the rough.

I’m one of the few people that had no glitches at launch but this game definitely should’ve been delayed a year it also would’ve made the ending to rouge crazier because when it launched more people were playing unity also great vid as always man

[musiccer]

I personally like the combat system because fighting against groups was actually challenging so stealth was a lot more encouraged

[ncooper]

It's a visual masterpiece, the environment is definitely on my top 3 of all time.

I think a testament to Unity’s potential and also how great the game is atm is how much it’s talked about to this day. I really wish they handn’t rushed it

[rokovozila]

Although all of its flaws this is the game where I feel like an Assassin the most. City designed for parkour, dense crowds for social stealth and especially assassination missions where you just get an objective to kill your target and you do it on your own way. Btw very good video and review

Words can't even BEGIN to describe the beauty of Unity! While the initial bugs deteriorated the popular opinion about this particular game, the story and visuals are so, so, SO lovely. Arno is my third favourite protagonist after Altaïr and Ezio. His character arc is quite consistent/convincing and it described perfectly how Élise dragged him down. It's really great or even excellent game. I can ramble hours and hours about it, but I'll just leave it here.

I'd always choose good look over stats in unity, if you just spend some time mastering the stealth and gadgets usage the game becomes easy enough to do everything without much of a trouble. Except the ancient history coop mission, after all this time it still gives me conniptions.

The fighting in the old AC’s is refreshing after playing Odyssey or Valhalla. We went from enemies being staggered and stumbling when fighting to health bars that can attack whenever.

It’s great of you to make 40+ minute critique 🙌🏼

This was my first ac game. I remember when it first came out i used to watch so many stealth and gameplay videos. Since i didn't have an xbox or a solid pc to run it i never got it until 2018. This game ever since had been my favourite game to just chill and listen to music while junping from roof top to roof top and killing people in a quiet way. The graphics are so good I was suprissed this game came out it 2014. I currently love watching you master assassins and altair stealth as both of you play and talk about the game. I really hope they could make this game a sequel combining ac rouge and maybe ac 3. That would be a dream come true.

Well, this is a lovely coincidence, I just finished this game not two days ago and now you upload a review for it. Honestly, I enjoyed this game, the stealth and parkour are pretty awesome and I think the combat looks realistic, is challenging and is decently enjoyable, although I did get kinda bored of the combat (maybe that’s cause I kept using swords throughout the game without trying other weapons lol). I really enjoyed the mission structure of this game (even if it was a little repetitive) because it was all about sneaking around the place, assassinating your target and getting out in one piece. The parkour was really nice, but offers less options for animation cancelling and side ejecting freely than the older games, still looks and feels nice though. The stealth is good and has many options for tools which you could use, from poison to phantom blades, stun grenades and smoke bombs, poison and even berserk blades all of them can make stealth encounters way easier and even fun. The combat was simplistic, looked nice and could be decently fun, but would get boring after doing it repeatedly for a long time. The story was just okay, nothing less, nothing more. Overall I’d say I enjoyed the game and had fun with it.

I loved Unity's story. The desire to keep loved ones away from harm is imo the strongest motivation, especially for a man like Arno who experienced loss and grief before. It was believable, tragic and beautiful.

[aidanbollon]

I’m currently half way through my second play through I must say it’s so much better now than when it was launched was really exited to see others are still playing too. Great video keep it up 👍🏻

[DanielFeri]

I've played Unity more than 5 times now, and i can definitely say it's my favorite assassin's creed game (along with Revelations). Everything about it is just beautiful, sure it has/had some flaws but all games do, what the most fascinating thing is that it was made in 2014! It's stunning for that old of a game! And it's not just graphics, the amount of style put into this game is what makes it absolutely beautiful.

So yeah, it's DEFINITELY worth playing :)

[NekoDisciple]

I had absolutely no glitches playing this game, maybe one crash but I expected that of any game. I'm so happy to see people are turning back and giving this game one more look :')

I always loved this game but felt like it was a sin to talk any good or like it due to the massive hate to it.

Love ya bros

[jackdavis]

I got no bugs. Best Assassin’s Creed parkour and combat system. Solid customization. Great story. Top 3 AC games of all time!
Felt like a real Assassin game. Stealth was KeY!!!!

[ZmokeYouOfficial]

Does anyone remember that Ubisoft actually gave away copies of far cry and watch dogs away for free because of the condition that AC unity was in during it's release? That was an awesome show of faith and AC Unity eventually becoming a solid title makes it even sweeter. Good video by the way!

[randomguestobserving]

Guess I'll give it another chance too. The Story around Ezio was simply epic it also brought me to study the history of the Renaissance (from all angles) and hey I liked Black Flag a lot too - was somehow refreshing to play it from the perspective of a Pirat scoundrel who came to find the right path in the end...(and to learn something more about the peak of the carribean Pirate Era along as well)

[CyberMonty]

I watched this review last week and it gave me the push to buy the game after seeing it on sale.
It is an amazing game.
Even with the odd small bug it still one of the best games I have played in a long time.
I doubt it’ll happen but I hope that Ubisoft releases a 4k60FPS patch for the PS5.
I had heard that they are planning to release a fix for AC Syndicate on consoles so I hold on to hope that they will surprise us with a patch for AC Unity too.

It’s my favorite depiction of the Assassin Templar conflict because of how nuanced it is. We get insight into the politics of both sides, who have members with different viewpoints. The disunity within each side reflects the bloodshed on the streets of Paris, the voices of reason who called a truce to try stabilise the conflict of the Revolution cut down by the more traditional, extreme individuals who just want to get back to killing their opponents. The only difference between the Assassin and the Templars is that the Assassins don’t have someone trying to covet a Piece of Eden.

The detective angle for Arno’s character is one people don’t acknowledge a whole lot yet makes him more interesting. He is genuinely good at spotting inconsistencies and connections, it’s just the main plot doesn’t call much for this and side content isn’t usually explored in depth by the causal player.
