Assassin’s Creed Unity
Best: Paris, France: Can a lovely looking city filled to the brim with amazingly detailed buildings and cool places to climb save an Assassin’s Creed game from mediocrity? No. But it’s still nice. Paris in Unity is one of the best cities featured in the series and even to this day, I think it holds up thanks in large part to some spectacular lighting and art design. And Unity’s improved parkour system shines as you slide and climb around all these lovely-looking structures.
Worst: Boring Story: It’s a shame that such a gorgeous-looking city and such fun-to-use movement controls are wasted on such a dull, boring story. Arno’s tale is very similar to Ezio’s but lacks a lot of the same flair and excitement found in Assassin’s Creed II. By the end of the game, I’d mostly forgotten what had just happened. But Paris still looks nice.
