This remains true of the DLC, which while the city design helps parkour quite a bit, it's still rather clunky in comparison to many games in the franchise. While Valhalla tries to bring back elements of social stealth and classic gameplay, the parkour in it is far more limited than it is in AC Unity, which is extra shameful. Stealth and parkour in AC Unity is some of the best defined in the series, coming just before parkour became clunkier and clunkier. Hoods, hidden blades, intrigue, and conflicts with Templars are all par for the course of a classic Assassin's Creed experience, one fully realized in AC Unity, but there's also one big gameplay element that stand out. As such, if it's Black Box missions, a tightly designed Paris, and Assassin's Creed content fans want, there's Assassin's Creed Unity. For example, while the Black Box Missions and city design are pros in Siege of Paris, the fact that there's hardly any "Assassin's Creed" content is heartbreakingly unsurprising for many fans. In short, the best parts of Siege of Paris were first done by AC Unity, with its worst parts not being an issue in the latter. In each of these overlaying areas, there are clear differences because of time period and technology, but that has little reason to do with AC Unity's Paris. Now, AC Valhalla's Siege of Paris DLC has players return to the same location as AC Unity: Paris. Assassin's Creed Valhalla players can travel to Lunden, nearly a 1000 years before players can checkout Victorian London in Assassin's Creed Syndicate. Assassin's Creed 3 and AC Rogue, for example, share a few locations, but are set some years apart. The French Revolutionīecause of Assassin's Creed's time period and location-hopping that occurs with every game, there's hardly every overlap in areas, but there are areas. RELATED: Comparing Assassin's Creed 2's Ezio to AC Unity's Arno After all, everything that the DLC does well was done in AC Unity first, and perhaps the biggest thing Valhalla doesn't do well enough is perfected in Unity. While it's nowhere near comparable to the efforts and support that came from the community after the Notre Dame fire, Assassin's Creed Unity does have one big reason to be on everyone's mind right now: Assassin's Creed Valhalla's Siege of Paris DLC. When AC Unity was given away for free and Ubisoft donated a ton of money after the Notre Dame fire, that was the first perfect time to replay the game since launch. It's no longer a buggy mess, which may have been what turned off a lot of fans to begin with. Admittedly, it may not have been ready for launch, but every update since then has only made the game that much more replayable. If you want to try out an AC game that isn't the new RPG ones than I can't recommend this one enough.Assassin's Creed Unity may have released back in 2014, but it has aged like fine wine. The story is that same generic Assassins Creed story but there are some interesting sections worth playing. Some cons worth mentioning could be the Uplay connectivity issues which makes playing with friends frustrating at times. You can also parkour INTO buildings which is as fun as it sounds. The city of Paris is surprisingly detailed and packed with crowds of NPCs, allowing you to assassinate a target and vanish in the crowd like a ghost. The feeling of carrying out a coordinated assassination with a friend or saving them from a sniper makes you feel like you are in a movie, its so fun. Customization of armor/weapons and co-op missions are an awesome addition, you can find your look (I went for a musketeer build) and set out with your friends getting that sweet cash to buy new gear. Although no difficulty slider, the zones of the map are separated by difficulty, so that makes up for it allowing you to play at your own pace. You aren't the one-man killing machine like in the previous games (though with the right build you can). You can get one-shot by rifles and if you are ganged up on the best bet is to smoke bomb and escape. The parkour and stealth is the best the series has ever been, and because the stealth is so good you feel encouraged to play stealthily. Probably my favorite Assassins Creed, and the most underrated, it may have had a bumpy start plagued with bugs but that has been mostly ironed out.
