The story is also relatively mediocre succeeded. The quality roughly with the story of AC Black Flag to compare. Not really bad, not really exciting or thrilling. Later in the story, however, takes some of its momentum, and knows how to please.
Graphics and atmosphere, however, are absolutely breathtaking. Definitely AC Unity is so far the most beautiful and most impressive open world game for the PS4. So beautiful even that the game, despite the great shortcomings in the frame rate and the performance which is absolutely annoying and may not occur in this form, but still its 4 star gets me. Solely the many NPCs bother me a bit, since it is also no less than 20-30% less would be allowed without the atmosphere would have suffered. Some of the great masses of NPCs are just in the way and are increasingly annoying.
Had AC Unity not Assassin's Creed or I only half as big fan of the series, it would be graphically designed not so extraordinarily handsome and charming, I would willy-nilly have to forgive 2 star, what would be absolutely justified by the inadequate state.
I now only hope that the successor in the form of AC Victory, a constant frame rate of 30fps as possible can be realized. Otherwise, I have to seriously consider whether I want to do this to me a game with such a performance again.
