Assassin's Creed Unity: Les critiques

Premier de la série conçu uniquement pour la nouvelle génération de console, Assassin's Creed Unity fait son entrée sur PlayStation 4, Xbox One et Windows PC aujourd'hui. Est-ce l'évolution attendue pour la série?

Dans Assassin's Creed Unity, le joueur incarne Arno Victor Dorian, un jeune homme hanté par une terrible tragédie et qui s'est enrôlé chez les Assassins pour combattre la corruption qui gangrène la France, au temps de la Révolution française. Il fait partie d'un nouveau type d'assassin, utilisant la "Phantom Blade", une arbalète à courte portée attachée au poignet, sur le modèle des lames cachées. Ces mêmes lames cachées sont toujours présentes, mais intégrées dans le système d'arbalète.

Revenir aux bases de la série tout en refondant plusieurs de ses mécanismes était un pari audacieux, réussi avec brio par les équipes d'Ubisoft. Paris est non seulement l'une des plus belles villes jamais réalisées pour un open world, mais elle regorge en plus d'activités annexes scénarisées et d'environnements intérieurs accessibles en grande partie sans temps de chargement.

Gamespot 7/10

It's very good, maybe even great in places, but the story's smaller focus has come at the expense of its exquisitely rendered backdrop. The grandness and spectacle that so often graces the finest Assassin's Creeds is sadly sorely lacking here.

IGN 7.8/10

Assassin's Creed Unity is a gorgeous and entertaining game of impossible peaks and disappointing valleys.

EuroGamer 7/10

As it is, mild improvements in traversal and combat are quickly overwhelmed by the creaking systems onto which they have been grafted. Revolutionary Paris is one of the most beautifully realised environments in a series that has had its fair share of them, but the game you play doesn't really do it justice.

Polygon 6.5/10

In the quest to build something that looked and sounded "next generation," Ubisoft Montreal failed to fix the problems that have accumulated over so many annual release. Combined with an uninspiring story, and a long list of considerable technical problems, Unity falls short of the fresh start Assassin's Creed needs.

VideoGamer 8/10

Unity may have the intention of being Assassin’s Creed’s next-gen reinvention, but it’s remarkably faithful to its roots.

Joystiq 2.5/5

Assassin's Creed Unity is the best and worst of Assassin's Creed. It's hard not to appreciate everything that it gets right, and you'll have a good time if you can wrangle some friends for co-op, but it's impossible to ignore where Unity falls tragically short.

GameInformer 8/10

Inordinately long load times, repeated onscreen notifications, and a couple of hard freezes prove that Unity is a complex game that hasn’t yet had all of its bugs smashed. However, Unity’s frequent missteps are balanced against an astonishing array of engaging content set in a stunning world.
