After the rocky launches this month, Ubisoft may want to reconsider releasing so many triple-A games within weeks of another in the future. Assassin's Creed Unity seems to have some of the worst problems, with crazy glitches that cause faces to disappear, NPCs and Arno to fall through objects, the...

Huge improvements to the free running mechanic; co-op missions; well-woven story; and massive open world with fun and creative side quests make this the best Assassin's Creed game to date

The bugs mar what could be a near flawless experience; but everything Abstergo; the leveling system; and the four currencies prevented perfection anyway

Whether it's a sequel from an annualized racing series or an expansion pack to a well-received game, there's comfort in the familiar--and, potentially, boredom as well. Dead Kings, the first downloadable content for Assassin's Creed Unity, is an unfortunate example of the perils of taking the beaten...

The Guillotine Gun is rewardingly lethal no matter the range; Classic Assassin's Creed mission types have some innate appeal

Fighting Raiders is almost as one-dimensional as their personalities; Arno's new brooding personality makes him less likable

While it will likely suffice for Assassin's Creed core fans, Unity stumbles throughout and never really finds its footing. Where last year's Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag saw the franchise reach new heights, Unity is somewhat of a sidestep that only shines sporadically.

Assassin's Creed Unity features breathtaking environments and occasional scenes of great heightened action.

The game suffers from clunky free-running movement; Climbing and descending aren't as seamless as they are intended to be; Unity suffers from terrible frame rate dips and other graphical weirdness.

Alright: May be slightly above average or simply inoffensive. Fans of the genre should enjoy them a bit, but a fair few will be left unfulfilled.

One of the benefits of operating a website that is not reliant on ad dollar traffic or rushing to have our scores posted on some meta-ranking site is that we can review our games whenever we want – even a month after they release.

I've had a scattershot relationship with Assassin's Creed: Unity . I played through its first half during the initial week of its release before opting to put it down and take a self-appointed break. That lasted for roughly three weeks until I went back and finished it just a few days ago.

There has been a lot of buzz about the release of this year's Assassin's Creed title for the PS4 and Xbox One. It's been around a year since the release of both consoles and expectations are high on what could be the Assassin's Creed of all Assassin's Creed titles.

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag was a welcome new direction, adding an enjoyable pirate flavour to the familiar framework of Ubisoft's historically rich open world series. Freely sailing the Caribbean was a real revelation for the series, and it was so enjoyable that it was always going to be missed...

The assassins have kept a steady schedule, as Unity and Rogue are the 7th and 8th installments on consoles, not counting several spinoffs. Unity is the Creed's first effort exclusively for this current generation, and Ubisoft has fashioned it with co-operative multiplayer to celebrate.

Stay true to the creed.
