Graphics are beyond sublime. The detail, the coloring, even the shadow play you can tell really gets the PS4 horses behind it. The number of random strangers also makes the city feel like a city. Audio is also wonderful, and just listening to the city is worth just stopping and watching for a while.
Combat is steadily improved and has more layers and possible courses. Guns are as bit overpowered now, and you don't get as easy a prompt as you used to to grab a human shield, but everything gradually stacks up your abilities. Doing combat well has a benefit of granting customization cash, rather than just grinding up the housing market and becoming a billionaire used to be. Upgrades to your cafe are also more than just go hear and spend money to get more money, but layer in more story. The only downsides are that the splinter cell esque "last position" make escaping a bit of a trial, and snipers have both perfect vision and apparently NV, as every rifleman on the map will see you at the first alert, and enemies can see you from the ground way too easily.
The story for Arno is wonderful, and has to be experienced as giving away anything is too much. While Ubisoft is pulling a lot of miles from their psychedelic vision quest missions, its still awesome. Your(the players) story is very meh and papered on and includes quite a few bizzare and offputting moments, as I don't think I'd join a group of self described Assassins after a single video chat from my sofa, but as you do. There's not much that can be done with the starting setup which is actually rather cute, and once you're past the alright I'll buy that moment it becomes much more enjoyable.
While the other characters are hit and miss, Arno and Elise are well developed and tastefully delivered. Their love story is not shoved in your face at every opportunity, but spread out and slowly built on, with side bars, love letters, and out of mission conversations. Its actually a romantic story set in place so gently and subtly its a treat to experience when an opportunity arises.
Co-op currently has serious issues. While my connection is partly to blame I'm certain, within 5 minutes of play I hit a frame rate issue that was horrific, and I fell through the floor during an air assassination into oblivion. Also, all the missions from the first one star heist requires you to have completed the single player story, as you basically must have all of the major abilities (lockpicking/double air assassination/6 star equipment) to be at all effective or to get all the benefits so it feels greatly unbalanced. Initiates is also struggling along, and is something I'd been looking forward to since AC3. Uplay must be inundated, so I may have to reappraise after the system is up and running, but currently it is just awful. The Companion App is cute and adds a bit in terms of story but feels very half-baked and is full of synchronization glitches.
Side missions are revamped and almost more fun than the Assassin side bars. The murder investigations are wonderfully done and actually make you both work and at least rub two brain cells together. The Nostradamus Disc clues are hard. I wanted hard back after how much fun the Animus gltiches were in Brotherhood, and this almost swings the pendulum a little far in the other direction. But they're well done and if you are attentive the layers of the onion can be peeled away. I do like that you'll get a prompt so if you're hopelessly lost you can still find your way.
Theres very few nits. The chests are a bit weird, and they all but force you into the companion app. While I'm addicted to all things Assassins Creed, that's just wrong. Collectibles is still far too much of drinking from a fire hose, and being forced to clear the map of chests that're basically worthless after about a 1/3 of the way through the game for a single trophy is annoying. A few minor bugs at random moments in single player, but nothing game changing, though that is with the caveat that I apparently got a gold plated copy, as many, MANY others has had more glitches to the point that the whole game could be called a hot mess. I wish you could see open doors and windows with your eagle vision, as trying to get into some buildings is a scavenger hunt for the one open window.
Overall, this is great. Wonderful story. Engaging and challenging combat, fun, cute, and tough side missions in equal measure, and a environment that is gorgeous enough to just sit and watch. Just give Ubi a few more weeks to try and get some multiplayer aspects of it to actually work. Otherwise this is a great display of what the PS4 is truly capable of.
Dead Kings DLC: Dead Kings tacks on some more story following the end of the main storyline of Unity, and is really more blah of the same variety. There're a handful of nifty environments to explore, such as a massive crumbling cathedral, but many of the missions are beyond crazy hard if you're trying to get all of the bonus points. The story opening for it is underdone and lame. The underground environments are pretty well done, but they needed a better rationale for introducing a lantern rather than imply that Arno is afraid of bats and/or cockroaches. The guillotine guns are laughably terrible, and I've yet to see another person use them, munch less use them well. I'm not through DK story yet, so maybe theres a couple good puzzle quests, but the fuse has really fizzled out already for me. I still love how massive and open the city is and all of the single player magic, but they did really drop a lot of balls from previous incarnations. AC Initiates sputtered to life and promptly died again, so maybe this'll quietly get folded off. But given out of 11 games they've managed to do 8-9 of them to the 4-5 star level, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt that this is mostly growing pains of handling a new level of software.
While I plan to expand on this once the co-op mechanism has its major bugs ironed out along with AC Initiates, please comment why if you do not find this review useful as I'm not used to this many negative votes.
I played it for about six hours straight. To my horror, I found that bugs and glitches are exceedingly rare. In all the time I played, I saw all of TWO glitches. One was a nice French gentleman who was stuck on the edge of a doorway, stuck and twitching like one of the ghouls from Jacob's Ladder. The other was when I was inside a chapel and noticed the huge stained glass window I had seen in a video yesterday afternoon, in which someone is climbing on the window and the frame rate goes down the toilet. I climbed up the window, and sure enough the frame rate went to hell. The good news is, there is absolutely no reason to climb on the window. If I hadn't seen that video yesterday, it never would have occurred to me to climb on it, and I never would have experienced the bad frame rate drop.
But that's it. Other than that, so far it seems like nothing more than a great new AC game in which you run around a fantastically designed version of 18th century Paris, playing as a likable rogue of a character through what is shaping up to be an intriguing story. The visual design in this game is a feast for the eyes, I can't overstate how amazing it is to wander around the incredibly detailed (usually filthy)streets of the city and then enter a beautiful mansion owned by some noble, the drop dead gorgeosity of their pristine and decadent abode is delicious eye candy. The lighting effects when going from bright sunlight to a dim interior and vice versa, it's truly a sight to behold. And yes the PS4 GPU incurs a heavy toll. I don't appreciate the intrusion of outside-the-game elements, i.e. messages telling you can't open the yellow or blue chests unless you install the AC Companion App on your smartphone and create an account at the AC Initiates website. But I won't be losing any sleep over it. EDIT: A patch was released which unlocked all of those chests for all users, so it's a moot point anyway.
My favorite thing about Unity is that, finally, there is a new AC game that pushes a lot of the same buttons AC2 did. I've been waiting for five years for them to reach that high water mark again, and so far it looks like Unity might be the game that finally does it.
This has a been a bad year for Ubisoft as far as how the gaming community feels about them. Between Watch Dogs being blatantly downgraded and the announcement that Unity was being kept at 900p on PS4 simply to maintain parity with the XBone version, a lot of people are pissed and to some degree I agree with them. But I'm not going to let that bias me to the point where I will outright LIE about the quality of this game just to spite Ubisoft. AC Unity is nowhere near as bad as many people are claiming... most of whom have likely not even played it and never will. Based on my personal experience with the game so far, most of the bad Amazon reviews are sounding to me like flat out lies. The game has more flaws than it should, and Ubisoft does suck for releasing it with this many bugs, but believe it or not it's still actually a very good game. If you read the professional reviews, many of them make small mention of any technical aspects and tend to criticize the game for more subjective reasons, which is fine.
I'm still somewhat early in the game. If my experience changes I'll update this review.
EDIT Nov 14, 2014: 20+ hours in, witnessed a few more NPCs doing bizarre things like trying to walk through solid objects or floating along the ground instead of walking. Another apocalyptic frame rate drop when I was climbing on the outside of a huge cathedral. 99% of the time, no issues.
EDIT Nov 19, 2014: Completed the game, never did see an unusual spike in glitches. Ubisoft have done some crappy things over the past few years and they do deserve a good pranging for it. Shame this game has become a casualty of that. I predict in the future there will be many people saying "I just picked up AC Unity for $15, I waited because I heard how bad it was... but it's great. I guess they must have fixed most of the bugs?" Even if they never patch it again, people will say that. After my own experience with Unity I'd be lying if I said it wasn't well worth playing in its current state.

Trama in pieno stile Assassin's Creed, tra vendetta e onore, e una ricostruzione della Parigi rivoluzionaria eccezionale. Memorabile la sequenza della mongolfiera di notte.
Consigliato a tutti.
Good game..
Thanks. 👍🏽
