Assassin’s Creed Unity

The game is the fifth major installment in the Assassin’s Creed series, and the successor to 2013’s Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag.

The game was criticized for its technical issues and for its lack of originality. However, the game’s multiplayer mode was praised, especially the four-player co-operative mode. If you’re looking to get into the Assassin’s Creed series, I would recommend starting with the first game, then playing Assassin’s Creed II, Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood, Assassin’s Creed Revelations, and Assassin’s Creed III. After that, you can play Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, Assassin’s Creed Rogue, and Assassin’s Creed Unity. The reason I recommend this order is because each game builds on the story of the previous game. Assassin’s Creed III is a prequel to the first game, and Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, Assassin’s Creed Rogue, and Assassin’s Creed Unity are all sequels to Assassin’s Creed III.
