The fifth major installment in the extremely popular Assassin’s Creed franchise, created by the Ubisoft company in 2007. It is at the same time the first iteration of the series designed for PC and the eight generation consoles. The new story features a new assassin, Arno.

Assassin's Creed: Unity for PC, PS4 and XONE is another part of the most popular action adventure produced by Ubisoft, known as a father of the Prince of Persia series, Far Cry, Rayman and so on. This is one of the biggest projects in the history of the video game industry. In the production of the game were involved ten departments of the company located in Montreal (the main studio), Toronto, Singapore, Quebec, Annecy, Shanghai, Chengdu, Kiev, Montpellier and Bucharest. In the game, the player portrays Arno - one of the members of the Assassins’ brotherhood who does variety of tasks in the eighteenth-century Paris, during the French Revolution. The creators took care of reproduction of the most famous places of the French capital, including the Seine river and Notre Dame cathedral.
In 1789, the French Revolution changed in a veritable hell on earth Paris that used to be beautiful. The poor inhabitants of the town were opposed to the aristocracy that in a bloody way tried to suppress all rebellions. The player personates Arno - the hero in the center of this ruthless struggle, who tries to change the fate of his nation. During the adventure, he is driven by personal motives because he suffers a great loss for which he feels responsible and now he is seeking redemption.

In previous version, the players received the specific goals, if they fail, the mission had to be repeated from the check point. In this version, for example, if your task is tracking given individual, you just have to find the person again, in case of lose him or her. The game is continued even unsuccessful attempt what increases so-called immersion. What is more, Paris is changing under the influence of your actions. The more dead bodies on the street, the larger number of guards and patrols on the streets and your enemies will become more careful because they will be aware of the threat.
The game has also been improved for a more natural movement parkour system. Arno, like his predecessors is able to climb on all buildings as well as better descent of them quicker. There are also less all-pervasive haystacks which now appear less often. What is more, the character had the ability to creep. There has also changed the fight, which now is more demanding and the opponents are more intelligent and stronger, so getting out of trouble is not as easy task as it was before.
During the game, Arno changes. The developers have prepared an extensive character development system - the earned experience points can be spent on the development of the character's skills in three aspects - creep, combat and navigation. In addition, his outfit and equipment can be also modified.
The game can be played in a single player mode, but the developers took also care about online cooperation for four players. For this purpose, there were prepared special sabotage and executions missions, protecting designated people and so on. In each case counts close cooperation, communication and use of skills.
Assassin's Creed: Unity for PC, PS4 and XONE is based on a completely new technology, prepared for the needs of the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PCs. The new engine is capable of generating even 5000 independent characters watched on the screen at the same time (30 times more than in the previous version).

The first DLC expansion for Assassin’s Creed: Unity. The add-on is included in the season pass for the game. It takes place after the events presented in the base version of the game and takes the player from the streets of Paris into the dark catacombs of Saint-Denis. There Arno becomes part of a new intrigue related to the tomb raiders who are profaning the tombs of French kings in order to find valuable treasures. The game mostly takes place in the large undergrounds inhabited by various wild animals. While traveling through the dark metropolis, Arno is facing enemies and solving puzzles that are taking him closer to solving the mysteries of the area. The graphics and the story are much darker than those of the base game. It is worth mentioning that the protagonist can use a new weapon, the guillotine gun.

Game Ratings for Assassin's Creed: Unity Video Game.
Destructoid: 7 / 10 by Chris Carter
If Ubisoft fixes the glitches, Assassin's Creed: Unity will be a much stronger game, even if the ceiling is a bit lower in general. Unity's potential is not as strong as some of the better entries in the series, but it's good enough for existing fans to continue the journey.
Eurogamer: 7 / 10 by Tom Bramwell
As the seventh major instalment in the series, though, not to mention the first designed for new console hardware, Assassin's Creed Unity feels like a missed opportunity. Going back to basics at this point may have resulted in a less substantial game than recent years have led us to expect, but it might have delivered a more satisfying one. As it is, mild improvements in traversal and combat are quickly overwhelmed by the creaking systems onto which they have been grafted. Revolutionary Paris is one of the most beautifully realised environments in a series that has had its fair share of them, but the game you play doesn't really do it justice.
