1. Assassin's Creed: Unity

Clearly there is disagreement regarding who should be executed. 

Assassin’s Creed Unity is a next-generation-only version that was also developed for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. In Unity, the action takes place during the French Revolution and the main character is the French assassin named Arno Dorian. It is Arno’s noble intent to curtail the Templars’ threatening imposition on Paris. As the story unfolds, Arno comes to learn that the cards are stacked against him.

Unity introduces a new and exciting feature, the parkour system, which allows Arno to descend from high buildings with relative ease. This version also introduces a more intimate multiplayer experience that encourages cooperation since players must fulfill complementary roles in combat.

The fact that a city as beautiful as Paris and a historically charged point in time are not delved into is a major downside of Unity. It feels as though the story and the main characters have no personality and the cooperative mode could benefit from more optimization. Furthermore, the stealth and parkour mechanics are not seen as strong points due to countless bugs.

There is plenty of good to be found in that the historical locations within virtual-Paris look splendid and secondary characters are unique (such as Napoleon, de Sade and Robespierre). Overall, drawbacks such as poor optimization, combat glitches, micro-transactions, and a campaign lacking depth are too much to recover from.

The first Assassin's Creed isn’t ridden with any game-breaking flaws, yet is too linear to boast about its achievements. On the other hand, it appears that many of the recent installments suffer from serious cases of tunnel vision. It would seem that in their pursuit of highly dynamic gameplay, the developers have overshot the sweet spot that requires games to possess a perfect blend of traditional concepts and bleeding-edge innovation.
