I'm not a fan of single player FPS
It usually gives me a headache when I spend more than 10min trying to find the correct route

Beat shadow of mordor and loved that game

I will probably give Unity a try
Was a big fan of AC3 but did not like black flag. Which one is unity more similar to?

Closer to AC2 or Brotherhood in my mind. Has single player and then co-op missions. Has a good narrative but lack of closure. Even the side missions actually have narrative unlike the previous games for the most part. I say it is closer to either of those two (or even revelations) because you are pretty much always in the same large city. Not like AC1/AC3/AC4) where there is a ton of inter-city traveling.

Combat seems like a bit of a step back - really they are trying to force you to be more stealthy. But they removed counter-striking which has been in the series since AC1 and is probably the best part of the combat. Also removed chain kills which were in AC Brotherhood forward.

Graphically and detail-wise, none of the previous installments compare.

I liked brotherhood
Will give it a try
Are the coop missions related to the single player story and do they have to be online coop or can you do it with a NPC

Not sure if you played the latest splinter cell but I hated that there were coop missions where you HAD to coop with a player so there were times I couldn't do the mission
Which I thought was stupid

WTF
Yea I probably won't like it then
One of the main reasons that made AC combat so fun

Online Co-op, but a lot of them (maybe all?) you can play by yourself if you can't hook up. But they do have matchmaking system which works well to my knowledge.

They have their own story which revolves around the Revolution more than the main game/SP side missions do to an extent.

You can still block and it gives you a window to attack back within, but usually you can't 1 hit a guy until you are more poweful.

Combat was the one portion where I couldn't fathom why they would remove so many parts from it.


Forgot to mention, the mobility is a lot better with the ability to truly parkour and come down off of objects/structures faster than you can go up them. I think on an exploration and mobility front, it is finally where they have dreamed it could always get to.

I will probably have to go with it since there's not much out
Any new games releasing soon that's worth taking a look at?
Possibly within this month
If so I will probably just fuck around on GTA or Far cry until that time comes
If not I'll pick up Unity

Depends if you plan to platinum it I suppose. 100% is between 50-70 hours, I'd say. Depends on your play speed and your gaming proclivities.
