LO2 Assassin's Creed Unity Review From Web And Magazine





Assassin’s Creed Unity Review

  The game I have chosen to base my reviews upon is Assassin's Creed Unity, this is due to the fact that it s quite a recent game in terms of its saga and there will be a few new reviews I can watch in terms of looking for reviews for them

·      On a technical level the 18th century France setting is a marvel, but the story is a bit bland.
·      The atmosphere of the game is realistic and a new experience.
·      There are a few technical glitches when it comes to stealth during the game
·      This is a revenge story, with a dark setting.
·      The various amount of way you can defeat your target is numerous throughout the game.
·      The gameplay consists of co-op missions, which require you to work with your friends. This is important because it requires you to communicate in order to succeed.

Comparison

The comparison I have made from Looking at both reviews is that this Assassin’s Creed game is a step forward in terms of the gaming technology used when producing this game, I have also come to learn that both the reviewers have a clear idea on the narrative in terms of fitting in with the diegesis of this game by saying that this game takes place in 18th century France during the civil war.

I have also come to understand that in terms of reviewing itself the magazine review is more one sided, meaning they tend to only focus of the positives of the game without including any f the bad features of the game. But looking at the web review I can see that they have explained and expanded on the positives and the negatives of the game, by speaking about how the technology glitches from times to time, and that the controls can be unresponsive from time to time.

When both the web and the magazine reviewers talked on the narrative of the game i came to understand that they both enjoyed the idea of a vengeance based game, due to the fat that Ubisoft were trying to recreate the same experience that they gave use with Ezio Auditore back in Assassin's Creed II, therefore creating a closer connection with the protagonist of the game. Although the web review I watched said this was a major weak point in the game, due to the fact that they didn't allow us as the audience to get to know the other support characters within the game well enough to build a close relationship to them either.

Both the reviewers constantly speak about how the game itself have upgraded and that it actually requires people to strategies in order to accomplish some of the missions, this is due to the fact that the process you undergo to achieve your objective isn't set right in front of you, this means players will have to interact mentally in order to achieve success. Also the new climbing feature was praised, this is due to the how much it has progressed compared to the pervious games, this new climb command allows users to decide weather or not they want to stay on the high ground or stay low.

In terms of the recommendations the reviewers had two different opinions on this, the magazine reviewer was quite bias in terms of the recommendation of the game. compared to the magazine review you can see that the web review is a bit both sided due to the fact that they enjoy certain aspects of this game to an extent but there are some aspects of the game which they didn't like, and for this reason they decided to recommend this game to other depending on if they're on doing it to support the saga.
