Ubisoft's latest offering, Assassin's Creed Unity has had a disappointing release due to the glaring bugs and glitches. Unity was released on 11 November 2014.
Ubisoft has since promised that it will be working on fixing these patches. Some of the issues faced by players involved character faces being missed out, animations going haywire, protagonist of the game seen walking on the air and falling or people suddenly popping up out of nowhere.
Below are the issues and said it is working to patch them (Live Updates):
- Frame Rate issues
- Arno falling through the ground
- Arno getting caught inside hay carts
- Delay in reaching the main menu screen at game start
- Graphical and collision issues
- Matchmaking/co-op issues (including crashes when joining co-op)
- Helix Credit purchase problems
- Uplay service outages
- Some Unite program rewards not redeemable
- Some Ubi-collectible codes appearing invalid
- Companion App issues

GameSpot in a discussion said that the Unity has said that though the game has a great setting, Ubisoft has to have a back story on how Arno became an assassin and like every other game from the series, his father is killed and he takes up the sword. They also say that the game does not make good use of the Paris surrounding, which is set during the French Revolution.
The report also said that, Xbox One was the best platform to play since it had lesser errors than the rest of them.
