Unity attempts to improve on some of Assassin's Creed's innate problems, but it misses the mark as often as it hits.

Unity doesn't compare favourably at all to the better entries in the Assassins Creed series we've already seen.

Although it may be the first installment made specifically for the brand new consoles, Unity remains a traditional Assassin's Creed game. The setting and atmosphere is cool, but some of the best ideas are marred by bad checkpointing and a story where the historical elements often feel like an afterthought. Assassin's Creed Unity is a solid action game, but a disappointing follow up to Black Flag.
