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.

I was very eager to wade into this water, with AC3 being disappointing, but AC4 changing back the tide, and as I found out, AC4 did a fine job of warming up the franchise for the true, next-generation Assassins Creed game. Okay, let's get down to business now.

If you're invested in the classic AC style, this will do the trick. You'll love being a part of Ubisoft's Paris.

Paris is among the best-looking open-worlds we've ever seen; Hitman-style missions are a step forward in a stagnant series
