Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Unity had mixed reviews upon launch, but after the Notre-Dame fire, things have been changing around.
For each of the Assassin's Creed games, Ubisoft takes incredibly detailed 3D maps of various landmarks to provide some insanely realistic city maps I've used my personal knowledge of Rome, Venice, and Florence to navigate around in both Assassin's[...]
Aside from allowing Assassin's Creed Unity to be free for the next week on PC for anyone who wants to download it on UPlay (which features Notre-Dame prominently), the company announced they that would be donating €500,000 to help with the restoration and reconstruction of the Cathedral It's clear that the city of Paris means[...]

Sadly, that whole concept was largely thrown to the wind in Assassin's Creed Unity There were a few voice over and cut scene parts, but your interaction with the 'real' world was severely limited According to series head writer Darby McDevitt though,[...]
During an investor call (via Eurogamer), Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot announced that Assassin's Creed Unity and Assassin's Creed Rogue shipped 10 million units combined already Compare that to the 11 million announced in May last year for the prior title, Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Unity and Rogue will surely far surpass that number when May comes[...]

It is great that the WGA do recognize writing in video[...]
There was a weird story that came out on the tail end of last year, that Mega Bloks were going to be making several Assassin's Creed sets. This was weird
All things considered, I did actually enjoy Assassin's Creed Unity a fair bit It didn't build on any of the great ground work put down by Black Flag and it infamously had/has technical issues, but I did generally enjoy my time with the game.
That's why I'm interested in seeing what the Dead Kings DLC has[...]

In the meantime, our number one priority is enhancing the experience of Assassin's Creed Unity for players.
Personally, I'd prefer for the series to have done something drastically different from Unity's French revolution setting While London and Paris were distinct at the respective time periods, we are talking about two European cities separated by around 50[...]

Assassin's Creed Unity and Black Flag, as well as, of course, Diablo III and Killer Instinct Considering all three of us played Diablo III together, we spend a healthy amount of time on that game.

I was right back on board with this series and that is why I was excited to jump back in with Assassin's Creed Unity, even though it has become a yearly adventure (Or bi-yearly if you count Assassin's Creed Rogue – which you should, even if it came out on the same day as Unity)[...]
They've also included far out locations from the recent Geoff Johns' Green Lantern run like Odym, and the inclusion of new big figure LEGO like Swamp Thing and Solomon Grundy. The LEGO games have been solid fun adventures that have been friendly for kids and adults alike, with a ton of little winks and nods for comic fans. LEGO Batman 3:[...]
