I wouldn't think that I'd recommend anyone to buy Unity after the review above but credit where it's due; the game is beautiful and based on what you expect, I'm sure you'll like it.
I haven't played Syndicate yet, so I can't say for sure which one you should go for. But I think it boils down to the setting you prefer. Graphics-wise I'm definitely sure Syndicate is better. Parkouring is gradually getting better so this means Syndicate is again better. From the reviews I understand that the story is going to satisfy me as well. So again, Syndicate.
The bugs everyone have been ranting about, honestly I had none. But I don't really care about that anyway because I never pre-order games so they get fixed by the time I play :p.
If I were you, since you say you like the french revolution as a setting, I'd go for Unity in case I feel like spending money for both. If I was going to buy only one and don't really care about the story, then I'd go for Syndicate. But again, I haven't played Syndicate, so take my word with caution.
I just recently got a new computer which is pretty high-end, or atleast was for a few years ago. The only game I know of that this machine can't run on absolute maximum gfx-settings without having some frames dropping every now and then is The Witcher 3. That means I can play basically every modern game on at least high graphical settings. This being said I've moved from a Ps3 to this machine and as you can probably tell the leap is pretty big when it comes to gfx and performance. I'd like to play an open-world graphical monster that is not only beautiful to look at, but at the same time is fun to play. Fun missions, living and breathing world and alot to find and do. The storyline, if it's good, is a great bonus.
...or maybe a lot of things came together in a magnificently horrible way; a new group on the project + trying to cram a in mobile companion like everyone else do + typical hubris of getting drunk and lazy by the already established reviews, I dunno. Whatever it is, it seems like they are aware of that, too, since Syndicate have been receiving a lot of praise. Maybe it's still in the same direction but they sorted out the ambiguities that made it appear lacking any kind of professional decision about the product.
I definitely expect to see more about the sword, observatory and the sage blood thingies, though, they can't just build 3 entire games around the artifacts and then toss more into the story willy nilly like cake sprinkles.
To me, AC was the Desmond storyline: a fantastic sci-fi vehicle for amazing historic adventures that kept me more deeply invested than I otherwise would have been.
I wonder if Desmond was dropped for fiscal reasons rather than player feedback. Surely it's cheaper to produce a game with one storyline rather than two, and would better fit the yearly prostitution schedule the AC series is on.
I bought Black Flag some time back but have been “saving” it, expecting it to be the series' last good game. Here's hoping that I'm wrong; knocking about in the pyramid from the King Washington AC3 DLC had me excited for an ancient Egyptian setting. /smokebomb
I'm fairly confident that their only purpose is to have the Eiffel Tower in a parkour game, anyway :p
