Assasins Creed Unity : 1/10
Wow, this one is bad. I actually like the assasins creed games and played them all up to unity.
But Unity is really something special.
It has a few technical bugs like people walking in the air or enemies getting stuck in t-pose when parried and being immune to damage but i can handle this.
But the whole game has an online focus that's so annoying. All side missions are boring or don't even have story at all. You start a mission named "the tyrannical teacher", you get no text at all, just a marker on a person 50 meter away with the word "kill" above it. Wow, great immersion.
Almost all normal side-missions completely ignore all important people or landmarks in Paris. That's all in the group missions. There are lots of group missions in the game, 2 player and 4 player, that have cut-scenes, cool locations, all that. But you don't find anyone to play them with. You can play them solo but most of them have a lot of enemies and usually a room with 5 or 10 enemies that you have to fight. No problem with 2 or 4 players but annoying solo. Plus they are the main supply of skill points. Luckily the AI is so bad that you don't really need them.
The main story is bad, some Templar killed your step-dad and you kill an underling who gives you the name of the next higher up so you kill that guy who gives you the name of the next higher up.... and so on until you kill the Templar. That's it. The meta story is just as bad. There is no real life part, you just hear some woman talking to you in game. She wants to find the same Templar and in the end when you kill him and he is buried in the catacombs she goes "oh well his corpse is too damaged and of no use to us. But you can still explore Paris and have fun".
Paris is gorgeous though. Thats the only positive.
Oh and the shop is all in your face. Everytime you want to buy something there is a "hack" button right next to it. Buy the next sword or cape for 150.000 francs or "hack" it for 500 premium curreny. In a game where a treasure chest nets you 300-500 francs.
I continued to Syndicate and man, that one is so much better and more refined.
