i started thinking about assassin's creed unity again for some reason so i puked some words out about my frustrations with it as a *video game* while also understanding that people like it for a reason
assassin’s creed unity isn’t good…but it was a step toward something great
i don’t love assassin’s creed unity for many reasons. one of them being the fact that ubisoft clearly didn’t know what it was doing with…
