NTGR #1 Assassins creed Unity, Nov 15th 2014

Summary
AssassinsCreed:Unity is a fun game but lacking in parts the Graphics and gameplay are very good but the main plot seems to drag along at time just going from one misson to the next (See more in Plot Section)

Plot
The main plot puts you in the hood of Assassin "Arno Victor Dorian" whose father dies when he at the age of 8 so he is taken in by a templar, and events lead to events and arno ends up in the Assassins, The begining of the game is very cool up until about sequence 4 then it seems the missons just start getting more boring and the same thing over and over until it hits about sequence 8 then the strings start connecting and it gets better, I found it kind of confusing at times because you just keep going back and forth,  although its not as intresting as the other Assassins creed games it is enjoyable at times.

Graphics & Audio

The engine and graphics are superb by far besting blackflags the audio also sound better but when it comes to themes and music its not very memorable, mostly because theres only music at certain spots ("Cut scenes, 1 minute into the main menu, Certain Missons, and fights") but it sounds and looks like a complete over haul

Gameplay
This game by far out does previous games the 3 main pillars of the game have been redone Stealth, Parkour, Combat. For the stealth they finaly added a crouch button and wall hug that can be used for a cover the cover these make stealth alot more interesting and fun, now it is no longer the games falt you got caught they also borrowed the "Last Known Position" from SplinterCell and it makes it much eaiser to lure enemies, the second parkour is alot more fun also now instead of straight up a wall just to jump in a hay stack you can use a much more horizontal aprouch with the "Parkour Up" and "Parkour Down" Buttons it makes it alot eaiser to get down from buildings but best of all you look awesome doing it, they also added the "High Ground" Feature is any one noticed if your standing at the top of a Sychronization point in AC:3 and 4 you can see the icons for all the locations around you, now if your on a roof top you can see all the buildings around you icons on screen, this brings us to Combat they have changed this alot also basicly now the parry cant be insta-kill counter attack now you can only attack and no more chaining kills its very hard to explain but one major thing i dont like about the combat is now all you need is an amazing weapon. They also added a new stealth weapon "The Phantom Blade" its a wrist mounted crossbow but the ammo is so expensive its rarly worth the hastle.

Customization
They have added aton new customizaztion options now your can change most thing about your Assassin (Hood, Chest, Gauntlet, Waist, Legs, Colors) Most of those are pretty self explanitory but there is one disapointing thing the "Colors" isnt like you get to choose the color of your hood and other items its preset Color Pallets, I found that very anoying and kinda missleading since when the game was anounced they had a "Make your Assassin" Program on their Website, but its not that bad the pallets are actualy pretty good

Size
The game is huge it has alot of side quests and the city is humongous

Rating
7.5/10
