I absolutely love Assassin’s Creed Unity! I just finished it last week, and in my opinion, it’s the best AC game ever. I really enjoyed AC1, AC2, and Brotherhood, but I can’t stand the newer RPG-style AC games. Unity, even in 2025, still looks amazing with its stunning graphics and incredible parkour. It’s one of the last AC games that truly makes you feel like an assassin rather than an overpowered RPG superhero.

I really wish it hadn’t flopped, because if they hadn’t I think Ubisoft would have continued down that route.
From what I have heard Shadows is returning at least the Stealth and Parkour, (and I’ve heard Mirage is similar but I’m not sure), so I’m excited. But I’m not counting on it until post launch

I think it is pretty much confirmed that Unity’s poor launch led to the hard pivot to the “modern” RPG style AC games. I remember reading about it at the time. The only reason Syndicate wasn’t changed was it was already too far into production when Unity released.

I appreciate what the RPG titles tried, but I desperately want the Unity-Syndicate style format to come back. I feel like the pivot was too extreme just because of Unity
