So I was checking Game of the year list on Wikipedia and noticed that Assassin’s Creed was never Game of the Year.

Not on any list around the world did it reach the top. The first one felt very fresh, but it just did not feel complete. But the 2nd one was just an amazing game and that one got beaten on some lists by Uncharted 2 which is understandable, but also by Batman: Arkham Asylum which is basically inspired by AC.

Maybe they should just ditch the whole Animus plot. I wished that Valhalla and Black Flag were just about being a Viking and a Pirate

    Any time Unity is mentioned all I see in my mind is the floating eyeballs and teeth.

    Struggled to get it to run only to be welcomed by… That…

    Switched me off completely. I do intend to go back and revisit it though now everything is fixed but they certainly did themselves no favours.

      I played it like a year after launch on PS4 and didn’t have any issues. On PC there is also ACUfixes that further fixes and improves things. Honestly Unity was such an ambitious game and both the city of Paris and the crowd system in it is still unsurpassed by later titles. I remember when Mirage came out comparison videos started going viral questioning which game came out 9 years after which. The fluid and varied animations in Unity is still absolute peak, look at how satisfying high level gameplay is.
