@stefan771 Also, while I would love to see Unity in 60 FPS, given how beautiful the graphics are, I have a suspicion that Unity may suffer from spaghetti code due to the necessity for rapid post-launch patching, so I fear that tasking devs with upgrading it is fairly unlikely - it might not even get them good press; even though it plays well now, I fear that it would just lead to a round of stories reminding the community that when it launched it was a giant mess. It's a shame, the game looks beautiful and raising the frame rate, which would regularly hover into what felt like the teens/20s on a vanilla PS4, would make it absolutely stunning.
@Shinnok789 It's all down to personal taste but while I loved Origins, I was less thrilled about Odyssey and even less so about Valhalla. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed both, particularly since Odyssey has such a wonderfully strong story. But it felt like neither game really rewarded stealth; especially Valhalla, where it's basically not possible to play as a stealth character. I don't hate the trilogy and I'll be playing the new Valhalla DLC soon but I don't love it either and I'm excited to see what direction they choose for the next set of games.
Origins, though. So good. I absolutely loved sneaking through some of those Roman forts emptying them out one by one in stealth and using the day/night cycle to my advantage, and Alexandria and Memphis are really enjoyable cities.
@stefan771 Yeah! I am so hopeful for a Syndicate patch on PS5. I understand why the bugs left AC Unity in a rut, I didn't have a PS4 when it launched but evidently it was basically unplayable for weeks, yes? I played it a year-ish after launch, once I could get a PS4, and greatly enjoyed it. But I'm surprised that Syndicate gets so much shade. It's one of my favorite AC's. Maybe it was the Unity hangover?
@RobN I would give Unity a try. The combat system is very unique for AC - it's the only AC where it's very easy to get overwhelmed and killed. But the bugs have been squashed and it looked beautiful on PS4 Pro; it's probably even better on PS5, I really should give it another playthrough.
Paris is absolutely beautiful - it's the only game I've played where everything looks live action. It's still rough on vanilla PS4 but it worked great on my Pro and is probably even better on 5.
Also, the multiplayer parts can be played single player. I did not play a single second of multiplayer and still platinum'd it.
