Me and My friend finally got a chance to sit down and play Some Assassin’s Creed Unity together. For some reason my internet has been slow today, like, painfully slow. So it was a bit laggy since i think it’s peer to peer, but i’m not sure on that. The slow internet probably wasn’t helping it though. We ran through a few of the Multiplayer missions together. The one above is from a mission where you have to stop Snipers from taking out Napoleon and a bomb from blowing up, and then tracking down letters to figure out who did it.
This one was taken on our way to the place where we found the intel on who was behind the plot. We ended up struggling quite a bit on this area because there were so many snipers we couldn’t get too. After a bit though we managed to get it.
Another one we did was about the execution of Danton. We had to protect his friends from assassin’s trying to kill them. When we first got there we had to sneak into a restricted area to talk to him. I ended up crowd blending and using a disguise to walk up to him and then sneak out again. The Mission took us to the crowded plaza you see above and me and my friend had a pretty lengthy brawl there.
Overall the Multiplayer is pretty fine. It’s a lot more cut and dry then the Story though. The multiplayer boils down to the Basics for the most part. They’re still a lot of fun, though they can be tedious to run by yourself.

Cooperative stealth is an interesting genre, not that well represented either. Did you ever play a Splinter Cell game with your friend? The earlier games had wholesale co-op campaigns, and I’ve heard really good things about the co-op in Blacklist too, though I never played that one myself.

Splinter Cell is a name i’ve heard thrown around a lot but honestly have never thought to try. I might look into it at some point, because i love stealth games (my friend not so much though, AC Unity is the only one i’ve ever seen not stress him out)

The first couple games are really good stealth games, highly recommended. There is not really an overarching story between games, so if you’re just looking to dip your toes into the series I’d start with Chaos Theory. Honestly, if you’re into stealth games you should really play it like, right know. I consider it an all-time great.
After Double Agent the series started going into a more bland action style as Ubisoft felt stealth games were too niche I guess. Never played Conviction or Blacklist but as I said, I heard good things about the co-op in the latter so it’s on my list to try. I don’t really have a good candidate to play co-op with at the moment though, so it’s on indefinite hold.
