19:26 Those skeleton remains in the roof were actually historically accurate. They had such an influx of bodies that needed to be buried that they began stashing the bones of previous burials into roofs and walls to make room for new burials
I think the coop was the only thing that was bad (when it got fixed it was cool), but for me unity was good, i would think varhalla is the worst one now😂
It's crazy just how good Unity is in terms of gameplay, level designs and graphics and that it is that old. ESPECIALLY compared to a LOT of modern day games.
16:04 The blue guards are the soldiers of the National Convention. The revolutionary French government. The red guards are Jacobin militants who were populist extremists. What this game fails to capture is that often times these two groups would be on the same side. During the Reign of Terror under Robespierre, the National Convention was controlled by Jacobin politicians. By the end of the Revolution, the monarchy would be restored over France. Both sides would lose. So Kev is right. No factions win.
I think the idea for the red faction was extremists in general. There were at least 32 different political ideologies/factions/parties going on throughout the entirety of the French Revolution. That way it could be applied universally no matter what the political context was at the time. Before Napoleon came to power the French went through like five different Constitutions and seven different formations of government between the years of 1789 to 1799. I like to view it as I mentioned. Blue guards represent the power of the government whoever is in charge or held majority sway, while the Red are the extremists of whatever party is at play.
@@dastemplar9681 That would make sense if the red enemies didn't always spout Jacobin rhetoric. Though it is true, they are used to represent more than the Jacobins. But only in a few places. There's a co-op mission where the red enemies are used to represent monarchists. And yet they still wear the Phrygian cap and cockade. And they still shout revolutionary phrases.
They shegged this game releasing it on the exact same day as Rouge. They should have only dropped rouge, given unity an extra year to bake in the oven, and I bet it'd have been seen as one of the best in the franchise
The USP for Rogue was that it was a last gen game for the people who didn't have a next gen console and couldn't play Unity yet so they honestly should've still dropped them both at the same time but later on like you said
@@zooparty1257 I understand that, but a PC player, that distinction is non-sensical to me. I played both on the same PC. Hell, I can play the very first Price of Persia and the upcoming AC Shadows on the same PC with very little hassle.
you know what i never realized in the very beginning arno's father expected the poor lad to wait THREE HOURS for him to come back, no way he thought that would happen with no mischief
I don't think anyone's mentioned it, but the assassin in all black that you beat the snot out of, who then kills you at the end of the prologue, is actually the one that came the absolute closest to completely toppling the Templars while they were at their strongest. I mean the man even took a hit from the sword of Eden and was able to come to in roughly 15ish minutes to shank you after you left the crypt. The fact we don't have a game, or hell, even a book, about this mad lad named Thomas.....is insane
Ubisoft really made a game engine with perfect graphics, detailed and beautiful animations, the best parkour and stealth system yet and they just went "Nah, we're gonna make some RPG bullshit."
I remember when people were whining and complaining how they were tired of the Unity mechanics and engine. Like bro, they only made two of such games. 😂😂😂
I remember people praising origins for going in a different direction. But I guess ubisoft just thought "let's put this into everything, even if it ruins the exerience"@@afiffarakhan4992
Two things this game needed. Number one: let the devs finish it before release. This shouldn’t be controversial, delay, don’t rush. Number 2: everyone needs to sound like Pepé Le Pew
To be honest I think the game would’ve been mocked to death if they had done French accents. I remember people clowning on Robert de Sable and Sibrand in AC1, imagine all of the characters being unable to pronounce words with ‘r’ in them.
The Ubisoft memo is hilarious."In today's ultra-competitive market, players expect extraordinary experiences and ultra-polished games on Day 1." We need to take some time "to remove the small frictions we typically used to address in post-launch title updates." In other words, we have to get rid of game-breaking bugs before releasing the game because we can't coast on our reputation anymore. Blame the players.
To me this is one of the best ones because the combat was the best in the franchise they built on what 4 had while also allowing you to specialize in specific weaponry and on top of it all a multiplayer that let each assassin take on the mission in their own way my favorite memory of this game was taking on a mission to a big cathedral, heavily guarded, target deep in what was effectively a fortress the other 3 assassins I was teamed up with decided to take it a bit slow and scout out the place I ran in with a musket beating people over the head on a bright red assassin outfit taking every guard within a mile of the area to fight me while making my way up culminating in getting the target to flee into the waiting arms of my brother assassin's in arms Still one of my fave moments this game deserves so much more love than it gets
This game had so much potential. I just wished they focused more on the French Revolution. I remember watching that Cinematic trailer, man i had high hopes for that game.
@@Akronhammer23 what? They used AI to make the armors, weapons, and architextures which combined Chinese, Japanese, and Korean architecture, weapons, and armors to make everything. Which is pretty messed up. Then they used a family crest for the game without consent, and Japan as a result got angry about it. Japanese government has stated they will do an investigation once the game comes out, and if it's still disrespecting them, they will take action. So they did it to themselves, considering they had said "historically accurate" which got the attention of the Japanese government to begin with. Oh, and a lot of Japanese people are mad about the youtooz having a one legged torri gate, if you don't know the history of the one legged torri gate, I highly suggest you learn about it
Never understood this criticism. The characters in game are speaking french, which gets tranlated into english by the animus. Why would the animus add an accent to somebody speaking their native language? If you want it to be more realistic, just play the game in french.
I absolutely love unity, my favorite AC game. Video 153/day 666 of asking Kev to play Bionicle Heroes. (44 videos/192 days since confirmation that he would play it.)
This game was a blast with a coop squad. While there was nowhere near enough content for multiplayer, tackling the available missions with your buddies was so much fun. I wished they did more with that concept, it felt really refreshing back then.
I used to no life this game so much so long ago. I’d say my most memorable achievement in this game was being #1 in the clan leaderboard for one or two months and it was just me
Not sure if you are just joking, but there actually is a smaller lady liberty in Paris. The one in New York is a replica gifted by France for the 100 year anniversary of Americas independence. 🌠TMYK
I’m actually taking a class about the French Revolution and I looked up a video about a historical figure and going a video on their AC counterpart. I had no idea that the game exists but now I’m going to buy it and play it co-op with my husband. I’d love to see and virtually be in these places as well as explore the storyline. I’m glad this video came out now coincidentally lol.

@@E-GeL I like to believe that AC Unity's the best in terms of Parkour IN COMPARISON with post AC Unity AC's, but if we mean prior AC Unity we know who are the ones at the top, correct me if I'm wrong though
@@WUxze you’ve never played AC1-Revelations because that system is way better unity looks cool but lacks substance. Unity’s parkour is incomplete and unpolished you literally float when you jump it looks so fake like gravity doesn’t even exist. Parkour in unity has to be done in specific areas which you and you have to do multiple runs and plan out the routes you want to take. In AC2-Revelations you can literally run across the map and look good the entire time and the catch ledge feature should have stayed in the series because it saves you from messing up and allows you to continue parkour seamlessly. I can name more pros than cons for the original parkour system then unity the only thing unity does better is parkour down which you don’t even need in the older games because a haystack is always located near plaza so you can easily get down safely or do a safety jump.
I just wrapped up 100% this game for the second time today and I must say I didn’t encounter half of the glitches in this video through the entirety of it
it’s always been my favorite spent countless weekends with my cousins just running around doing parkour stuff with how popular free running was in 2014 and trying to make the best looking loadouts so we can feel badass storming mansions
This game was ahead of its time even though it was not a masterpiece when it first came out but playing assassin‘s creed rogue then the next game Unity was a big jump in graphics
The 'worst' assassin's creed game would've been the best AC game when compared to AC titles beyond 2020. Idk, maybe it has something to do with being an actual assassin
1:02 thats why i'm so confused with the issue regarding yasuke in ac shadow. even if he's not accurate or made up, whats the problem with that. its just FICTION, like every other ac games.
It bc Ubisoft has always made there AC games with fictional protagonist while playing is world and interacting with historical characters that are for the most part historically accurate, but when it comes to shadows where everyone wanted to focus on playing as a Japanese assassin, ( yes u can still play as one) they chose to make a duel protagonist where u can play as a black samurai and they marketed as paying respect historical character. At face value there nothing wrong with that until u realized that most of the information they have on him was made up and not true, they also added hip hop music when he fights that doesn’t fit the setting. Good amount of black people had a issue with it (I personally thought the music was stupid but didn’t get offended ). combine that with the fact that Ubisoft straight up been disrespecting Japanese culture recently especially with a toy they was marketing that showed a structure that survived the nuclear bombs
What part of his story is made up? I've known about yasuke for years now and i learned it from a Japanese historian as him being a samurai, that later on disappeard after nobunaga died, not much is known about his life so i understand why they chose him to be a player character, they can fill in the blanks with whatever they want@@BallPlayer17127
Both unity and rogue are incredibly underrated, the concepts and ideas for both are amazing I love how these games dived more into the templars and how everything wasn't so black and white, much like how AC3 did with haytham.
This game was so funny at launch for me. I built a brand new gaming PC right as this game launched, so this was the first game I played on it. The game ran perfectly, the only bug I got was a pitch fork shoveling hay without a person holding it. Then after I finished I went online to see how others enjoyed the game only to see people (understandably) hating on it.
Hey Kev! Love your videos especially on the Transformers series which brings me to say have you heard of "Transformers The Game" ? That's what it's called and I played it when I was a kid for the PS2. Could be the nostalgia talking but I love that game as a kid and I still love it now. I'd recommend giving a shot. I would love to see you play it. And if you do, let the intro screen play out gets you hyped.
I'm so lucky I only got to play the game 8 months later after it launched where most of the bugs already ironed out. I still fell below the map 3x throughout my entire gameplay
This game is definitly in the top 5 AC games for me... 2 will always be my favorite, with Syndicate and Black Flag tied for second, Unity 4 and Origins 5!
Rouge ended where unity started. Last assasination of rouge was to kill Arno's father. AND DAMN I LOVED HOW THEY USED TO BUILD A STORY AC3 had Haytam and Cornor And Adevalle as Cornor's teacher AC4 : Edward's son was Haytham and Edwards Shipmate was Adevalle AC Ruge : Hayham Accepted Shay as a templar and Shay kills Arno's father AC unity is the last game in series with a well thought plot
Bad launch and a shallow story. But besides that, definitely one of the franchises best in terms of gameplay and setting. Best parkour and stealth with a very colorful and alive open world. I never seen such crowded streets in the game and it ran so smoothly. It really felt like a Revolutionary Paris.
Also the first AC (and I think only) game where you can buy your own muskets.. Many indoor areas to explore and also the return of some real blood and violence lol
Customization was good, but i prefer the Odyssey system, where you can equip the gear with the best stats and choose the gear you want your character to wear. But unity was definetely a step in the right direction
Been playing since brotherhood, THIS is the greatest grounded AC game. It was missing a few things like fighting with the hidden blades/fists only,also body shields when you’re being shot at. Other than that Unity is KING 👑
"You've assassined your last creed" xD Have to admit this game is a masterclass compared to the new ones. Love the video thumbnail btw ! Can you share the artist name please ? 🤩
it had a bad launch, but after patches it turned into one of the best ac games. it's also the last real assassin Creed. after that game stopped caring about templars
Speaking of princess peach baking a cake during an actual war... I kind of didnt like how they changed peach's character in the mario movie because that example alone, that she baked a cake instead of commanding her army and moving resources, is why i think it was always important that she was an absolute fool and thats why mario had to save her. Shes literally the sole matriarch of an entire kingdom and has to outsource her entire military to eccentric plumbers who have absorbed mycotes to become more powerful
The skulls in the rove where because irl they hadn’t had place to burry the people, that’s why there so many dead body’s in the catacombs today, they just threw the dead buddy’s in there.That just shows the nice attention to detail
It SUCKS that the multiplayer for this game somehow had less connection after I got back from a real trip to Paris I was gonna show my xbox friend the exact places and paths I took in Paris and explain how different the real thing is to the simulated 18th century Paris
I subscribed when kev first started making ESO videos and I just came back across his channel and seein him average at least 100k views each video now hits different 😂
Honestly, i found assassins creed unity rather quite charming. Arno is fun, although hes basically french ezio. Elise was so beautiful, arno had seriously good taste in women. And the views from above are absolutely gorgeous. The only location in a previous game i can think of that rivals it would be havana, cuba from assassin's creed 4: black flag. That place looks so tropical and it looked absolutely gorgeous and its a place i would want to visit.
It’s co op mode made it one of the best ACs for me. Me and friends had so much fun playing together and it was different. Shame it had such awful servers and the launch made it take like 2 hours to join a friend sometime. Also being down for days at a time.
I will say this forever, AC Unity was the best by far up until the PS4 era and now. Problem was you would've needed to wait a few years to play it (like I did). The story, map and combat were exceptional and well done. I still remember getting from Point A to B throughout the Map just by walking on the roofs.
The parkour works fine, at least it's better than AC3 and AC4's holding the parkour button. it takes some time getting used to the context based parkour and you can make it way better with mods which you can get it for free. Also stealth gameplay peaked in this game, being able to hide behind every walls or objects is such a game changer, started made some of us realize that we haven't had any proper stealth in any of the Assassin's Creed games before this one.
The second AC game I've played. I loved it. The world, the detail, feeling, dude the music. I loved the music. One of my favorite entries of the series. It showed what an AC game could be. I wish Ubisoft stil made these kind of games.
I wouldn’t mind you doing a full playthrough of this and then Syndicate. The two assassin’s creed games from this brief era were actually pretty good. (Definitely play the Jack the Ripper dlc for Syndicate, that one’s so freaking good) The biggest problem I have with Unity is how buggy it can be. Thankfully the major gamebreaking stuff has mostly been patched out, but I still encountered a few annoying bugs (a mission failing to register I’d done the objective and forcing me to restart from checkpoint was the nastiest of the bugs I encountered). But overrall, while I’m glad Origins was made, I am disappointed it seemed to kill this brief era of ass cred. Also, I actually really like Odyssey. What can I say? It’s just really fun.
I first played it a year ago and thought it was actually pretty incredible. I was shocked by how MASSIVE the crowds in the streets could get without cratering the framerate, and the animations are better than anything current gen (now that they've been fixed). Only complaint was that to 100 percent the game solo is almost impossible without cheating, the multiplayer bits feel forced upon solo trolls like me. Also, Elyse is the hottest virtual character that Ubisoft has ever modeled, hands down.
Honestly though, the thing you didn’t get to show here is 4 assassins working together all around taking people out left and right the way the games should be. Multiplayer was honestly so cool
19:26 Those skeleton remains in the roof were actually historically accurate. They had such an influx of bodies that needed to be buried that they began stashing the bones of previous burials into roofs and walls to make room for new burials

I love how these games dived more into the templars and how everything wasn't so black and white, much like how AC3 did with haytham.
Pretty sure at the beginning He said "draw swords men" not calling them old men lol.
I was a Leader of a Co Op group in Unity years back.
Best moments of my life as an AC Fan.
After replaying the game: “Perhaps I judged you too harshly.”
This game helped rebuild the Notre-Dame after the fire because of how detailed it was!
This game was so funny at launch for me. I built a brand new gaming PC right as this game launched, so this was the first game I played on it. The game ran perfectly, the only bug I got was a pitch fork shoveling hay without a person holding it. Then after I finished I went online to see how others enjoyed the game only to see people (understandably) hating on it.
18:48 France gave us the Statue of Liberty so I mean it does make sense 😂
The worst Assasins Creed happens to be the first one I played and my favorite (haven’t played many, though)
Try black flag
Thank you for random uploads. Gives my Saturday propose
Hey Kev! Love your videos especially on the Transformers series which brings me to say have you heard of "Transformers The Game" ? That's what it's called and I played it when I was a kid for the PS2. Could be the nostalgia talking but I love that game as a kid and I still love it now. I'd recommend giving a shot. I would love to see you play it. And if you do, let the intro screen play out gets you hyped.
I actually love the story of Unity. We had the nuance of Good and Evil Assassins and Good and Evil Templars.
I loved going back to this game last year the amount of customisation is amazing
Amazing vid🤞
I'm so lucky I only got to play the game 8 months later after it launched where most of the bugs already ironed out. I still fell below the map 3x throughout my entire gameplay
This game is definitly in the top 5 AC games for me... 2 will always be my favorite, with Syndicate and Black Flag tied for second, Unity 4 and Origins 5!
Man I love this channel
Rouge ended where unity started. Last assasination of rouge was to kill Arno's father. AND DAMN I LOVED HOW THEY USED TO BUILD A STORY
AC3 had Haytam and Cornor And Adevalle as Cornor's teacher
AC4 : Edward's son was Haytham and Edwards Shipmate was Adevalle
AC Ruge : Hayham Accepted Shay as a templar and Shay kills Arno's father
AC unity is the last game in series with a well thought plot
A part 2 is highly required good sir
Bad launch and a shallow story. But besides that, definitely one of the franchises best in terms of gameplay and setting. Best parkour and stealth with a very colorful and alive open world. I never seen such crowded streets in the game and it ran so smoothly. It really felt like a Revolutionary Paris.
Also the first AC (and I think only) game where you can buy your own muskets.. Many indoor areas to explore and also the return of some real blood and violence lol
The outfit customization was so gooooood
Customization was good, but i prefer the Odyssey system, where you can equip the gear with the best stats and choose the gear you want your character to wear. But unity was definetely a step in the right direction
It’s not that good there’s nothing to wear
Been playing since brotherhood, THIS is the greatest grounded AC game. It was missing a few things like fighting with the hidden blades/fists only,also body shields when you’re being shot at. Other than that Unity is KING 👑
"You've assassined your last creed" xD Have to admit this game is a masterclass compared to the new ones. Love the video thumbnail btw ! Can you share the artist name please ? 🤩
Kevin I've been waiting for your video on AC origins since the stone age
it had a bad launch, but after patches it turned into one of the best ac games. it's also the last real assassin Creed. after that game stopped caring about templars
Speaking of princess peach baking a cake during an actual war... I kind of didnt like how they changed peach's character in the mario movie because that example alone, that she baked a cake instead of commanding her army and moving resources, is why i think it was always important that she was an absolute fool and thats why mario had to save her. Shes literally the sole matriarch of an entire kingdom and has to outsource her entire military to eccentric plumbers who have absorbed mycotes to become more powerful
4:25
The part is hilarious dude😂😂😂🤣
Unity is my 3rd fav AC title right after Odyssey and AC2.
The skulls in the rove where because irl they hadn’t had place to burry the people, that’s why there so many dead body’s in the catacombs today, they just threw the dead buddy’s in there.That just shows the nice attention to detail
This one was good, the animations and story were amazing and all the different weapons were *chefs kiss*
22:54 - I mean, quite a chunk of Unity's missions is about killing groups of enemies preemptively
I actually loved this game.
I played AC Rogue as well. I thought it was cool to see this game begin where Rogue ended. Story was solid.
1:14 I didn't quite catch that. What did you say that thing was called?
It SUCKS that the multiplayer for this game somehow had less connection after I got back from a real trip to Paris
I was gonna show my xbox friend the exact places and paths I took in Paris and explain how different the real thing is to the simulated 18th century Paris
I subscribed when kev first started making ESO videos and I just came back across his channel and seein him average at least 100k views each video now hits different 😂
Ok kev's uhhh the image you see before ylu watch the video hits hard
Yesterday i finished the platinum for AC Unity and now Kevduit does a Video about it 😂.
Honestly, i found assassins creed unity rather quite charming. Arno is fun, although hes basically french ezio. Elise was so beautiful, arno had seriously good taste in women.
And the views from above are absolutely gorgeous. The only location in a previous game i can think of that rivals it would be havana, cuba from assassin's creed 4: black flag. That place looks so tropical and it looked absolutely gorgeous and its a place i would want to visit.
"You assassinate the last creed"
Say that again
the parkour and city levels is so good
they didn't used it again ever
Dude this is the funniest video you have posted i couldn't stop laughing. Ur videos are the most refreshing and funny 🤣
I finally got into a coop match for the Heads will roll mission
It’s co op mode made it one of the best ACs for me. Me and friends had so much fun playing together and it was different. Shame it had such awful servers and the launch made it take like 2 hours to join a friend sometime. Also being down for days at a time.
Dear kev, kevs Artist. When do we get an anime in your art style 😅❤
I will say this forever, AC Unity was the best by far up until the PS4 era and now. Problem was you would've needed to wait a few years to play it (like I did).
The story, map and combat were exceptional and well done. I still remember getting from Point A to B throughout the Map just by walking on the roofs.
Who made your thumbnail? The art is amazing, id like to follow them ;-;
The person who makes these thumbnails is very talented
3:32
Last chance to look at me Arno
The parkour works fine, at least it's better than AC3 and AC4's holding the parkour button. it takes some time getting used to the context based parkour and you can make it way better with mods which you can get it for free.
Also stealth gameplay peaked in this game, being able to hide behind every walls or objects is such a game changer, started made some of us realize that we haven't had any proper stealth in any of the Assassin's Creed games before this one.
just wanted to say this but the thumbnail art is really good who made it :)
The second AC game I've played. I loved it. The world, the detail, feeling, dude the music. I loved the music. One of my favorite entries of the series. It showed what an AC game could be. I wish Ubisoft stil made these kind of games.
For me, it was my first, and Rouge became my third. Fantastic game, honestly, and I'm only disappointed I never played the multi
Unity was definitely one of my favorite AC games, it's genuinely fantastic
I wouldn’t mind you doing a full playthrough of this and then Syndicate.
The two assassin’s creed games from this brief era were actually pretty good.
(Definitely play the Jack the Ripper dlc for Syndicate, that one’s so freaking good)
The biggest problem I have with Unity is how buggy it can be. Thankfully the major gamebreaking stuff has mostly been patched out, but I still encountered a few annoying bugs (a mission failing to register I’d done the objective and forcing me to restart from checkpoint was the nastiest of the bugs I encountered).
But overrall, while I’m glad Origins was made, I am disappointed it seemed to kill this brief era of ass cred.
Also, I actually really like Odyssey.
What can I say? It’s just really fun.
Dude I just finished my 3rd playthrough of the main storyline today. What are the odds!
I definitely liked Unity. Just sad we lost Elise by the end.
Also I felt like Shay should’ve been Arno’s final villain instead of Germain.
But that sword tho we get from germain
I first played it a year ago and thought it was actually pretty incredible. I was shocked by how MASSIVE the crowds in the streets could get without cratering the framerate, and the animations are better than anything current gen (now that they've been fixed). Only complaint was that to 100 percent the game solo is almost impossible without cheating, the multiplayer bits feel forced upon solo trolls like me. Also, Elyse is the hottest virtual character that Ubisoft has ever modeled, hands down.
Honestly though, the thing you didn’t get to show here is 4 assassins working together all around taking people out left and right the way the games should be. Multiplayer was honestly so cool
