I wanted a Victorian setting since the huge time jump from 1 to 2. Things kind of looked up for 4. Not the best game considering it was more so casualised but it had the best out of animus sequences in the series. The whole pirate theme broke up the monotony of the usual in the series. With Unity announced I had high, high hopes. One of the best time periods ever if not the best. Ruined, and no not just due to technical issues. Gameplay was -blam!-ing awful. You would try to do one thing and your character would do another. The new so called revamped combat wasn't new, it just made enemies bigger sponges. The story: Lol, lol, lol. Terrible and forgetful. More focus on the fiction characters rather than the historical ones. [spoiler]For -blam!-s sake you got to see the King one time! At his execution no less.[/spoiler] Instead of the time period being the story they -blam!-ed off and made the time period the background setting to a snoozefest story. And of course the technical issues. No need to go into those. I barely finished the game. It's rare that a game is just so bad that I have to push myself to finish it. As a day 1 player I waited for one of these yearly games to finally break the straw on the camel's back. After unity I'll not play another. Tl;Dr Unity made me quit, but I hope Syndicate is much better for those sticking with the series.
