    I agree with everything you said, except for the part about having the best storyline. AC Unity is set in the middle of the French Revolution, one of the most exciting periods of history! Yet the story is one of a personal vendetta. It has almost no affect on the Revolution unfolding around you except for a mission or two, and the Revolution has almost no influence on the game's plot except for a cool backdrop. So, while I don't think the story was bad, it had potential as big as the Grand Canyon, and it just didn't deliver.

    The older games didn't actually have a parkour system that did the job for you. You actually had to do a precise input. It made me appreciate the Ezio trilogy parkour. I used to feel janky about it but once I tried to learn the mechanics more I understood deeply of how great it was. Although it may seem outdated but it's still good. If only they did have that control scheme back with Unity's fluid animations.

      And Unity's parkour will most likely return. The devs know that fans want that system back, but they couldn't do it, since, in the beginning, they chose to build the RPG elements for those games rather than the transversal. Now, they will change that.
      Valhalla has its parkour tweaked a little bit (since they didn't have to code much RPG elements because they just imported them from Odyssey), and they had a little more time, but the next game should be the real change.

Elise had one game and developed really well, while Cristina was barely featured and she had 3 games to develop her own character and relationship to Ezio. Sofia was definitely an active love interest comparable to Elise but Cristina’s relationship was just a memory that occurred outside of the plot of the game in which it was featured

      They both feel sympathy for their targets, but unlike Altair's targets who believed they were doing good, Arno's targets saw themselves as a pawn for the greater good. The Templars and the assassins became two sides of a war as time went onward, unlike the first couple games where they were just good guy and bad guy.
      Arno's character intrigued me because he had a deep emotional connection to a templar. Not just a romantic one, but a very deep and personal one. Arno was always doubting himself, going crazy while doing so. Only in the end he fully understands the assassin code.

The game did allow you to play it before it finished downloading, which was where I encountered any of the bugs I've ever encountered in this game. I ended up setting the game aside for a week or something like that, and never saw another bug.

Aqua really was only talking about 2 in that instance, in which case I have to agree that Arno’s arc is better executed and more fleshed out (imo) than Ezio. But of course Ezio got a TON more development in the next two games, but I don’t think it’s fair to compare an arc in one game to an arc fleshed out through an entire trilogy.

      It seems to me, there s a lot of hate towards AC games in general, even Odyssey, my personal favorite. I like unity and, as for the other AC titles, it wasnt perfect, still fun. However there s a huge gap between the reality and the trash many reviewers makes us to believe. Point #1 of extreme criticism: narrative: I am a picky reader and as such, there s no game with a good plot / lore, maybe I d exclude the witcher because there s some previous written storyline by an actual writer and I felt like the story and the world were already there,#2 repetetive gameplay - defenitly yes mostly in the first titles....I still have to play AC 3, but black flag, gameplay wise, my second favorite, is it still repetitive?, yes, when you end up playing hundreds of ours of a certain game of course it becomes repetitive but what makes us love Ac games is that they are relatively easy games, (but not for hardcore gamers for sure), educational, transport us in time like no other game, the settings are wonderfull and they put a lot of historic research into it , and #3 not fun....sorry but Red Dead redemption is triple A, super good looking, but I havent had any fun with it and I end up reselling it because it doesnt match my playstyle , the main reason? Too realistic.... At the end, in terms of pure game mechanics developing, Ac games are not a triple A, but still far from being trash. Most hate comes from the huge sucess of the Ac series, it happens all the time everywhere with everything in life... at the end of the day, we who love AC creed wont listen and I bet we will pick these games just to walk around and appreciate the sandboxes they created...it happens to me a lot of time at least :D

    Unity always makes me the most sad because, more than any other game in the franchise, it had so much potential that wasn’t quite reached. Ubisoft obviously didn’t give themselves enough time to put out a polished game upon release and that just hurt their image even more.
    In terms of STORY, it wasn’t fully fleshed out and I felt it sort of wasted its intriguing setting. The Revolution was pushed aside a lot when including more aspects of it could have been more engaging. And they really didn’t make the most of the templar vs assassin conflict. Here you have a romance that could do so much to blur the lines between the enemies. Balec showed the ugly side of an assassin so consumed with the ancient conflict, EXPAND ON THAT. The Paris brotherhood were perfect to add a touch of grey to the supposed good guys. Show the Templars as more than evilly twirling their moustaches, they believe in control over freedom but this doesn’t make them inherently malicious. Why would the Templars be inciting the revolution further when they preach order over chaos? What if at first Robespierre was with the assassins, preaching for freedom from the monarchy, but then went too far to the point of tyranny. Demonstrate the issues with the assassin’s doctrine of freedom. COMPLICATE THE DICHOTOMY BETWEEN THE ORDERS BECAUSE HISTORY IS NEVER THAT SIMPLE. Make both Elise and Arno question their allegiances and ideologies. Make the player do same. The foundation was there but they tragically never delved deeper.

      I love Unity bugginess and all on launch. Buy you nailed here. They had the plot points and story set up perfectly but it felt rushed or short. Its easily my favorite setting and character. While people may have loved black flag for the pirate aspect it was just that, a pirate game with the Assassin stuff thrown in at the end it felt like. Unity was a major change and it felt alive. The city ebbed and flowed at times and could make getting around on the street hard. Having spent some time in Paris years ago i loved getting see to the buildings and shops and talking with friends about what the shop was in 2005/06. The elise arno romance was well done but left you wanting more. It provided that gray area for both the Order and Brotherhood where individual ideals were warping the tenants of each. First playthru it really felt like a possible crossing over point for some memebers of both sides when they realize the other side is more right for them. Arno’s rise then fall and reacceptance into the brotherhood felt more like an actualy person who gets fried from their dream job and has to pull themselves thru the depression and despair to get back to where they want to be. Overall i just wanted more story from it and wish one day to get that

      Matt Bryan Matt Bryan For sure, they were definitely on to something with Unity and it’s sad to see that Ubisoft just completely scrapped it instead of taking the time to improve upon the foundations they had now laid out (those bustling streets were definitely a highlight). I feel like the ideas surrounding Unity have pretty much been abandoned which is pretty disappointing. On the subject of Black flag: Though you’re right that the Assassin lore was a bit tacked on, Edward Kenway still had an amazing character arc which really elevated the game in my opinion. His story worked great with the idea of freedom and free will but also ultimately finding a balance where he took on more responsibility and came to realize the damage caused by his recklessness. When you look at it from that perspective, he still fits into the creed (at least thematically). But Unity and Arno definitely made the effort to form a better direct connection to the brotherhood and truthfully explore the nature of both the assassins and the Templars. *Sigh* it could have been fantastic.

      Giovanna Acosta thats the thing i feel the worst about it that they had a chance to explore both templar and assassin ideals in a revolutionary era. With Rogue they set up the assassin to templar theme and sorta carried it over with Ballec in Unity. While im not exactly wishing Elise would have flipped sides i think she had the potential to do so. Her character was well done albeit a horrible ending i feel. Arno was setting up to clean house and reset the French order back to what it should be. It would have been a completely different dynamic for the series. It just had so much potential and got left aside

Ezio and Arno look very similar and even their story is similar as well. The protagonist looses their father and father like uncle by Templars. They then go for revenge mission. Then they watch their lover die infront of them. But still the game still had quite look enjoyable missions through.

Even when the game was given away for free after the Notre Dame fires, I still wrote it off.

Darius doesn’t act like an assassin he wants to stay hidden so saying in the shadows is an effective way to stay out of the orders sights he wears a hood for the same reason because it’s low profile same with the rest of his out. Ayas first civ would have been become weaker because of the mixing of blood between her parents and other family the. The hidden blade making its way to cleopatra is a mystery that can be explained in the future but I’m guessing he protected elpidios until his death until he either passed it on to him or became friends with higher ups who didn’t agree with the order like cleopatras family and it was stated in odyssey that the spear contained both dna of two similar people and siblings would be very similar in terms of dna so the animus used that dna but found two paths to follow so it simulated two people not knowing which was the true one

    What I loved most about this game was that the character looked leaner than in all the other games. Arno looked leaner and more agile than all the other (male) Assassins. And I think that look is more fitting to an Assassin. You look more agile, more deadly but also more vulnerable. Also his robes and general gear looked amazing and better than the following games.
    I also loved the athomsphere and the map of this game. The feel of the revolution was carried out greatly and Paris itself contributed a great share to it. I think this was the best map for an Assassin's Creed. It only featured one city but this city was huge. There was a lot to explore both horizontally and vertically. London from AC Syndicate was also a cool city but the whole city and graphics felt to grey-ish to me. I prefer Paris for that reason.
    Last but not least I also liked the colors of this game. I believe Unity featured the best color set in the series. It outclassed all the ACs before concerning graphics and color setting. Syndicate had the same colors but looked too grey-ish in my opinion. Origin just didn't have enough environmental and color variety to satisfy me, it felt like the main color of that game was sand. Odyssey is coming the closest and boy it was beautiful but for me it was a little too colorful, the color set was too much based on "nature colors". I just prefer the style of Unity in that aspect.

      Yes Ezio is beloved and almost everyone agrees that he's fun and engaging and overall enjoyable. And that's one definition for a great character. But he is still lacking a lot of depth, which was only fixed by assassins creed embers. Arno while not being as fun or enjoyable, actually had a lot of depth to his character. The writers portrayed him being torn between his love for Elise and her heritage as templar and his heritage as an assassin really good. While Ezio is one of the coolest video game characters, Arno seemed much more human to me. Although that character arc wise, Edward and his redemption take the cake in this regard.

However what's even greater is ezio's ambition as he constantly sacrifices his dreams and confortable life to fulfill his goals. He even almost gave up at the start of ac brotherhood but the life he chose didn't let him go that easily. He may be confident and charismatic on the outside but all he wants is to settle down and have a fulfilling life but he we always see him sacrifice that dream for his ambitions. he's always driven by his ambitions of revenge, finding out the truth about the artifacts and his own heritage. At the end in embers, we see him evaluating with him accepting the limits of his ambition. My only issue with arno is that his personality is pretty uninteresting, like he's not as charasmatic as ezio or Edward and that's the only character trait he has making some of the interactions a little stale and boring. His interactions with elise are pretty cool but that's because they're flirting most the time and that's when his charisma rly shines. Other than that he doesn't have any other note worthy character traits.

    So I just finished the main story last night and I've never played an Assassin's game until this game. The story was okay and only carried by Arno and Elise but overall I liked the game a lot and the mechanics were fun. Playing this on the Series X at 60fps was super smooth and made the world so much more interesting and fun to explore. It's definitely not as bad as others have said and I feel like people should give it a second chance. I will definitely continue playing the side quests and I have yet to try coop. This and Watch Dogs 1 (which i also love) gave me the same feeling of immersion with the world design. Very underrated games at a time when ubisoft was trying new things and fell short of perfection.

    Unity is the most refined version on of the old Assassin's Creed formula and it's a shame that it never got the credit it deserved. Fun fact when Maximilien Robespierre was taken to his execution the executioner ripped off the bandages covering his gunshot wound and his jaw came off with the bandages.

      Indeed. OG fans were yearning for a return to AC1 principles in the sense of having to prepare your elimination, strategizing, multiple paths... And Unity's black boxes system was an honest attempt at that. Too bad the receipt of the game deterred Ubisoft to pursue on this path. I know a lot of people like it but the action-rpg style of Origins and others doesn't fit AC to me.

From there, Arno could look for clues until he tracked the templars who talked about that man in the mansion before. Then eventually, find The man himself.

    Logged in just to give you a like. I almost completely agree. ACU and Origins are my favorite AC games and are the ones that I still touch till this day. Simply put, Connor, Edward, Jacob Evie, Bayek, hell even Ezio, they are awesome fighters. But Arno Dorian, HE IS AN ASSASSIN. I haven't felt like playing an assassins since Altair. ACU makes you feel vulnerable, push you to think of different strategies to stay stealthy by clever use of the tools that you have. Bc you know the moment you run into open ground when 5 guns are aiming at you chances are you are a deadman. It was the most satisfying experience I had in a AC game (maybe Im biased bc I love stealth games? LOL). I'll add to your point about the gorgeous map by saying ACU has the most beautiful interiors ever in the entire franchise and that just add a complete whole new dimension to the map; people dont realize that with all the interiors accounted for Paris is HUGE. And it is the most believable world UBISOFT has ever created, the NPC feels like living breathing human beings with their own agendas; I would constantly stop just to see what people are doing, it feels so dynamic and fascinating. Free running over the rooftops of Paris, I seriously can't find a better experience in all the games that I've played. The negatives for me is the story, it was easily forgettable and a bit dull. TBH I find the Paris stories more fascinating than the main quests. Also...the characters are just too....British...not just accents, but their manners...and tbh it breaks the immersion at times, like I will totally believe you if you tell me these ppl are British and this story took place in London if I know nothing about the game. Another thing is that I loved the Paris brotherhood, best after AC1...but...I just dont see them a lot on the street. It feels like I'm the only field agent and ALL the others were just clerks behind desks lol.

    About Ezio vs Arno:
    -Ezio wasn't really the chosen one, Desmond was, Ezio was just a vessel to get a message to Desmond, which is sad in a way.
    -Ezio also was a shit talker when he was young, but has he aged through the games we see him becoming more wise and leaving some of his childish remarks behind.
    -Ezio story had love in it, but it wasn't the focus point for most of it. It was like he could never settle because he, and his family, had enemies, and he was tied to always be fighting the Templars.
    -Ezio main flaw is being stubborn, when he was young he rarely listened to anyone and was really just out for vengeance, that is why he killed Uberto, but spared Rodrigo, it is because he grew up in the time that has passed, going from 17 to 30
    -I would also say Ezio does ponder on the creed of the assassins and their philosophy in the third game. Not only that, Ezio reflects on his past and tries to find answers for others in the future, in a way acknowledging being trapped by his own fate, and accepting it
    In the end I think Arno has many character similarities in Ezio, hell they even look similar, and most of what I said was just to defend my boy Ezio.

      I don’t think it’s fair to compare Ezio to anyone because Arno has a single game that spans 3~4 years while only in AC2 we experience over a decade of Ezio’s life. He has had much more room for development then anyone else

      It did kinda bother me when I was playing Unity that Arno’s character is a little to similar to my boy Ezio.

    I love this game it’s so underrated and possibly my fav AC game, the one major flaw for me was all the chars having non French accents, it’s just a bit jarring

      @Im mega tosci they had french accents for characters before like De Sable and Lafayette and nobody had problems understanding them.
      It's just a stupid decision by Ubisoft.
      They also wasted the setting too

    not gonna lie i reckon if Ezio’s story had unity’s parkour system and graphics it would be the best assassins creed in the trilogy.
    the most beloved character and story, with a fluid and fun parkour system and a beautiful world and more open world activities.

    Even though Ezio is my all time favorite AC character and Revelations will always be my favorite AC game and story, the cinematic still gives me chills to this day. But the customization, parkour, combat, stealth of this game will always be on another level in my opinion. I can’t see this game being topped anytime soon. Hopefully Valhalla will and be amazing but we’ll have to see..
