Tom Senior from [[PC Gamer]] gave the game 65/100, saying that "''Unity'' could become a perfectly enjoyable part of the ''Assassin's Creed'' canon. It's a solid campaign elevated by quality assassination missions and an extraordinary setting that might just push the big number at the bottom of this review into the 80s, but with a big selling point out of operation, a raft of technical issues, performance problems, microtransactions and stilted combat and free-running systems, ''Unity''—in its current state—can only be considered a failed revolution."<ref name="PCGUS"/> Sam Prell from [[Joystiq]] gave the game 2.5/5, saying that "It's hard not to appreciate everything that it [Unity] gets right, and you'll have a good time if you can wrangle some friends for co-op, but it's impossible to ignore where ''Unity'' falls tragically short."<ref name="Joystiq"/> PC World stated that the game "is a new low for the ''Assassin's Creed'' series." The review also criticized ''Assassin's Creed Unity'' for its small scale, poor gameplay, and high minimum system requirements.<ref>{{cite web |last=Dingman |first=Hayden |date=November 15, 2014 |url=http://www.pcworld.com/article/2847262/assassins-creed-unity-review-let-them-eat-cake.html |title=Assassin's Creed: Unity review: Let them eat cake |publisher=PCWorld |access-date=November 17, 2014 |archive-date=October 27, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201027122809/https://www.pcworld.com/article/2847262/assassins-creed-unity-review-let-them-eat-cake.html |url-status=live }}</ref> Similarly, CNET stated that "[w]hile it will likely suffice for ''Assassin's Creed'' core fans, ''Unity'' stumbles throughout and never really finds its footing."<ref>{{cite web |date=November 11, 2014 |url=https://www.cnet.com/products/assassin-s-creed-unity/ |title=Two steps back |work=CNET |access-date=November 17, 2014 |archive-date=November 19, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141119010758/http://www.cnet.com/products/assassin-s-creed-unity/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
