A renewed focus on stealth forms the backdrop to this meticulous stalk through Paris in Assassins Creed Unity.
The latter makes sense, asUnitywas helmed by Alexandre Amancio, who also served as the creative director onRevelations.
DoUnitys ambitions define a new golden age for the series?
Or does the execution leave the game cowering at the guillotine?
The main thing youre likely to notice aboutUnityis the emphasis on building interiors.
This is due toUnitysporting some of the clumsiest maneuverability since, well, the originalAssassins Creed.
However, also like the firstAssassins Creed, this starts to become a bit formulaic before long.
OtherAssassins Creedstaples return here inUnity, but in a much more streamlined and simplified form.
Youll have a home base to renovate, new skills to acquire, and several ranks to ascend.
But all of these aspects take a backseat to the new mechanics.
These instances have Arno traveling to various crime scenes and searching for clues in the environment.
Once again, its a very slow-paced feature to the game, but at least it feels somewhat refreshing.
The actual performance of the game, unfortunately, is a much different story.
Simply put,Assassins Creed Unityis a glitch fest at the moment.
IsAssassins Creed Unityanother decent entry to the long running Ubisoft series?
Is it the promised next-gen savior that totally redefines the direction of the genre?
Not in the slightest.
But that same experience is also marred by drunken controls and a shockingly underwhelming performance.
