The value story

The value story

October 2020 is where it bottomed out, at $4.49. 98 discounts in the 12 years on record, a median of 75 percent off across all of them, roughly 6 weeks apart.

Against its own genre its score lands in the top 15 percent. It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 74 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Styx: Shards of Darkness ($1.99, scores 65) and Assassin's Creed® Syndicate ($7.49, scores 57) both outscore it.

More about Assassin's Creed® Unity

Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 8 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written July 2026 to October 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 43 percent of the 6,499 reviews written there were positive, against 78 percent overall, and those are 8 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (currency, boost); the score docks it lightly for that.

Finishing takes 17.2 hours; clearing it takes 80, which is 4.6 times the campaign.

What players say

Okay. I'm gonna be as clear with this as possible: this game does NOT WORK. I haven't played a game with this many bugs EVER. I don't think there's a SINGLE minute of this game that doesn't have a bug come up when playing it. Whether it's enemies teleporting around you, the worst camera in any video game i've ever played, getting seen through walls, getting ATTACKED through walls, having button inputs not work over...

Great game at first, but then it forced me to login using ubislop account. My account got suspended for trying to login. My username and password is right, but it always showed wrong password. I tried to recover password, my ubislop account got suspended. Ridicoulus.

I still have a soft spot for this game. The parkour is easily my favourite in the series, and running through the dense streets of Paris feels amazing. The graphics hold up surprisingly well too, but the co-op matchmaking is so annoying. Really wish Ubisoft gave this game a bit more care, because there's still so much to enjoy.
