A game that thrives on the side missions and the first AC, that really challenges the player

I must confess that I can not really understand the most reviews about AC Unity. There is criticism the story, the length of the main missions, the control and the bugs. None of these things can I really understand. Here the extensive review. tl; dr-conclusion at the end.

STORY & sidequests (Spoiler)
The setting is really good. Anders you can not say it. Ahead Ubisoft has indeed launched several surveys, which the regulars would most like to see in a new AC and "Many historical figures" standing there, if I remember correctly very high up. Much more important historically and especially famous people you will hardly find at another time, as the French Revolution. I speak of the Marquis de Sade (more or less invented the sadism and the greatest literary bastard of his time), Napoleon, Robespierre and several others. Seen Ubisoft has complied with the wishes of his players. We slip right at the beginning in the role Arnos, a Parisian boy and ne'er-do. Just on the edge and yet ubiquitous touching at the start the major historical events of this period. It is worthwhile here definitely read the database entries, otherwise it all goes past a. In addition, and still charming, lovable-characterized, redheaded Site Kick presented. All in all, and after you've finished as always well thought out story I have to say the story is good, but you will be thrown into it. Nothing is a really explains at the beginning of one falls in the AC autopilot, which is so many longtime players own.
It should, however, said that one in order to really make the most of the game can, ABSOLUTELY should play the "Paris Stories". These side missions are different than they were in the previous parts of AC. No "Go there and kill those" but often a sophisticated little story that certainly is fun and every time something new and exciting offers. For players who basically want durchpreschen only the main quest, this game is nothing. The side missions are here (not all) are mandatory!

CONTROL
The gameplay is ... special. It has changed the control and unfortunately a bit complicated. Parkour race is sometimes a bit hakelig and here definitely is a need for action at Ubisoft. Sometimes Arno simply does not jump to where it should go. But it is not so penetrating, as it a completely messed up the enjoyment. Needs improvement, but okay. Targets with long-range weapons has become a bit more sophisticated, but the number of new weapons makes the whole thing up for it. I myself feel an incredibly good feeling when a guard who has almost discovered a quite a few times, can iron with a wooden, clumsy rifle butts by Visage (NOT-lethal way). The guns are ever very good. Ranged how it previously did not know and yet not entirely useless to melee, but really really fluffy and effectively. Overall, the control is somewhat fitzelig, but quite the right way.

BALANCING
Jajaaaa, the balancing. In itself many have complained. It is no longer possible to shred into this game without any side quest or nearly without grinding through the main quest. You MUST make side quest, otherwise go either one at some point the resources or the NPC to crush a steak tartare. Nothing goes without upgrades. Thankfully the procurement is done the same here very entertaining. The combat system has become much more demanding, in my opinion, when it was still in Blackflag the case. There one has footloose and fancy-free shredded by the hordes of NPCs and given a counterattack after next. In Unity you have to be much faster for the counter, otherwise you miss the moment. Even firearms are much more powerful, and thus become more realistic. In Earnest. One begins firearms after two hours playing to hate. Two, three shots and one is over. You have to work faster and more efficiently in Unity, as in previous matches, otherwise nothing will happen. And if you do not upgraded clever, you will get the latest from the last third ernshthafte problems.

DLC
I have worried me the DLC "Dead Kings" that there was for XBOX Gold Members for a while for free. My advice: Get. It's really good, the setting is outstanding and the gameplay is like Tüppfelchen on the "i". Moreover, Arnos story is better classified here in the general context of Mystery Assassins Creed. So it's worth. I would even go so far as to say: without the DLC Unity may seem a bit "unfinished".

CONCLUSION (tl; dr)
Unity is an AC game that the players demanded some work. It is really worth to read the database records, because the context is otherwise discussed much too imprecise in the game. The question "What's happening now really in Paris?" should preoccupy the players frequent. The side missions and the upgrades are important and essential, but also made it a lot better than before. Overall, a more demanding, more complex but very entertaining game of the series. Bugs, as they were often criticized me personally not come across or were more or less irrelevant. Therefore I have discussed here in detail.
