The clumsy platforming ruins it for me tbh. It's so bad I've got detected several times because he didn't jump when I pressed the controller to jump. It's probably another reason why the stealthy approach is so hard in this game
The story, as per usual Assassin's Creed, is hard to follow because you get so distracted by all the side activities that you forget what happens. That's ok though tbh, the side activities are often more interesting than the story itself. I love how packed with content and little stand-alone side-missions Unity is. The campaigns are never that long, so I'm glad for the extra bits.
Another thing I'm glad of in Unity is that, apart from those silly little rift missions, they've almost totally cut out all the modern shit. I really don't care for the modern stuff in AC. Especially now Desmond is dead, Desmond did sustain my interest enough to make it work, but now I really don't care. It frustrated me in Black Flag and Rogue whenever you were ejected from the Animus. I'm only here for the historical setting/story, couldn't care less about the pseudo-illuminati modern crap. All the modern characters (especially post-Desmond) seem really fucking annoying and one-dimensional too. Call me "numbskull" one more time...

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
