* CriticalBacklash: While ''Unity'' received heavy criticism upon release, sentiments among fans had generally cooled down over the years. There has been a gradual surge in opinion that while ''Unity'' is far from the best game in the franchise, the flaws in it tend to be overblown and negative opinion was a result of [[ToughActToFollow having to follow up]] ''Black Flag''. A common consensus now is that the game at the very least is SoOkayItsAverage.

* VindicatedByHistory: With time, and a ''lot'' of patches, fan reception to ''Unity'' has softened somewhat since its infamous launch. While the story is still rather divisive, Paris is usually regarded as one of the best cities to explore in the series, the visuals are considered to be somenofn the best in the series and still hold up even almost a decade later, the combat has become more fondly looked upon thanks to its depth and changes to prior games, and the parkour is generally considered to have peaked here in terms of both animation quality and depth, especially after ''Origins'' and ''Odyssey'' made parkour more simplistic. That this would wind up being one of the last 'traditional' ''Assassin's Creed'' games before the transition to a more RPG-like format in ''Origins'' has also earned it some goodwill.

** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r47yZIYBUzc author/historian David Andress]] who wrote "The Terror" also discussed the historical depiction and he noted that the game was largely counter-revolutionary. More generally, while admiring the largely accurate (if streamlined) reproduction of Paris, he dismisses its portrayal as largely cliche and noted that the Templar UsefulNotes/ConspiracyTheory instigating the Revolution was a famous right-wing myth that refuses to give credit to the popular movement and pay real attention to its GrayAndGreyMorality.

* PlayTheGameSkipTheStory: The general critical consensus is that Paris is one of the greatest, if not ''the'' greatest, maps of the series in terms of SceneryPorn and free-running, but the story is among the weakest yet. Likewise there's also much praise for the Assassination missions going back to the open-style of ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreed'' but they also state that the targets are largely unmemorable and the villains aren't entertaining or complex.
