Assassin's Creed Unity

                 'Among the violence, among the chaos I will find justice no matter what'

Well to put things into perspective, am an year late to this grand adventure. Finally got around to buy a PS4 and get back into this franchise. Having played every single Assassins' Creed game since it's release, having known how Ubisoft works and what a franchise such as Assassin's Creed represents first off let me say I am not dissapointed. Maybe this viewpoint might have changed had I got the game on first day and had to play through the outrageous bugs several other people have come across. Having patched my game to a nearly 5 GB worth of data I think Unity is as stable as it can ever get. To the game itself, this is Ubisoft's second attempt in releasing a game for the advance hardware out there the PS4 and the XBOX one, honestly speaking Black flag simply had amplified graphics where as Unity truly pushes the game console visual appeal to the next level.

The games picks off right where rogue ends, as Arno you witness the death of your father and are taken in an orphan by the grand master of the Templar order. The grand-master's daughter and yourself grown up, you not knowing of the past of anything about either of the order. A series of events take place which spiral you into the truth and makes you the focal point of everything that happens henceforth. Determined to find an answer you join the brotherhood, what you uncover and how it forever changes the fate of Paris is all part of the grandeur of a game that is Unity.

Paris is huge, trust me huge so huge that you simply cannot get your heard around at the number of quests the game keeps throwing at you. All of Paris is accessible from the start but to actually do anything you are gonna need better gear and equipment. Movement has had a significant change with extreme precision given to climbing, making exploration so much fun. Weapons galore with a variety of options such as guns to heavy weapons, long weapons to legendary swords. Mastering any of it is an art and you fall in love with the fighting style if given time. Eagle vision in particular has been enhanced to be used more frequently , I literally spent the whole game making use of it thanks to it's see through capabilities and area assessment techniques. Customization is taken to a new level in this game, haven't had this much fun customizing since Assassin's Creed II ( Anything good I always bring ACII into the picture , the one great game I am forever in love with ;) ) .

Special mentions to the armor of Thomas De Carneillon, inspite of the near crazy amount of quests needed to acquire it, ain't that useful becasue it simply mimics the armor of Altair with a different color scheme. Ubisoft needs to stay sharp as the narration gets sloppy at times, where you simply want to rush through it to know of the ending. Co-op happesn to be the one good silver lining to this game with almost all side missions offereing an opportunity to play with friends. The various options available for co-op and the sheer size of quests amazes me as to how much thought Ubisoft put into crafting this part of the game. For an attempt to be a grand scale game it does justice but to a be a part of the franchise that is Assassin's Creed, Unity falls somewhere inbetween 3 and black flag.

Final verdict : Assassin's Creed Unity tries to make it's mark as a grand game but falls short due to the insane bugs it encountered on release and the bland narration. Hope syndicate turns the tide. Common Ubisoft, nothing is true, everything is permitted.
