LO2: Assassin's Creed Unity Game Analysis

Assassin's Creed Unity

This is a massive game based on aspects of stealth and puzzles/strategy. The genre this game belongs to is the action RPG genre; this is due to the fact that some missions require you to plot how you will complete an objective in multiple ways.

In comparison to other titles this game fits in ok to its genre, but it doesn’t allow you to make your own decision that are a major part of most role playing games.

The narrative of this game is basically a revenge story. You play a character called Arno Dorian who has had his name tarnished by a few corrupt people within France. Your main objective is to find the people who killed your adoptive father and clear your name while finding out more answers in terms of why they did it.

The way in which the story informs the gameplay is by recruiting you into the assassins, this fits in well with the gameplay because it makes it seem as if the assassins taught you character how to fight within the diegesis of this game.

Throughout this game there is no free interaction between characters, everything within this game is scripted a certain way to fit around the story mode. The story connects with the audience by allowing the audience to experience the backstory of the protagonist, allowing them to feel closer to him.

The development of this game began in 2010 after the release of assassin’s creed brotherhood.  Due to the fact that the new next gen consoles have a higher processing speed Ubisoft were able to improve the quality of their NPC crowd. This gives the game a more realistic feel to it for the players due to the fact that the environment almost feels completely real therefore enhancing the overall gameplay of the game.

Assassin’s Creed Unity have added a new climbing system into this came in comparison to the previous games, they have completely changed the game physics of the franchise by producing a more detailed and advanced method of climbing up and down buildings. This makes traveling up buildings a lot quicker yet more advanced. Another feature of the game mechanics that has been changed to enhance the gameplay of Assassin’s Creed Unity is the combat system, now Ubisoft have decided to create a whole new combat system, this excludes the chain killing system making it harder and more of a challenge gameplay wise for the player

The way in which the characters are relevant to the target audience is due to the fact that the target audience feel as if the have a connection with the due to the fact that the audience get to grow with the character in his early years.

Looking a Arno in terms of his appeal to the audience you can see that Ubisofts intensions were to give the audience the same feeling through Arno as they did Ezio but were unable to give the audience the same feel within the game.

In terms of how strong I believe the character are in this game is  that I believe that the characters aren’t really that strong, this is due to the fact that I believe that Ubisoft weren’t able to produce the same connection with the players and main character of the game, in terms of the strength of Arno I believe that he is weaker than Ezio and Connor based on the fact that he’s fighting style seems a bit sluggish in comparison to them.
