Where you should have reinvented the wheel you did and where you shouldn't have you did but you failed. I will play this game to completion but for what its worth this game just feels bland and life-less. Gone is the seamless simplicity of the 'Revolution' titles but this weird 'state-of-the-art' bull crap that complicates movement for me at least. The parkour is by far the weakest and most cumbersome I've had to deal with. What I don't like is how they really tried to step out of the safety netting that previous installments had set. I love the idea of separate pieces of armor affecting your stats lending a light RPG feel to the game, I love the visuals even if by 2021 they are painfully dated to an extent.

However even with its ambition it really feels like an amalgam of previous ideas that have been updated for the then news consoles/audience. I don't think it's as bad as people make it out to be but it's certainly not great. And this ambition is what kinda led to its downfall in a way. To give a little bit of an explanation for this series, ever since Assassin's Creed 2 the series has seen a yearly release schedule and at the time of its release, Unity was the 7th commercially released entry in the series which is awfully fitting since it made its debut on the 7th generation consoles but at this point, the series began to feel a little long in the hidden blade if you catch my drift. I usually don't make reviews unless I have either played a considerable amount of the game or have finished it but in the case of Assassin's Creed Unity I need to write this review early and sadly its gonna be negative which honestly I don't want to do because there's definitely a lot of great ideas flowing through this game but they can't save what feels like a slow burn that never ignites the same joy previous entries brought.
