Unity is actually criminally underrated, Paris is so beautiful in that game and the combat was probably the best AC combat ever until they completely re-did it in Origins in 2017. I really liked the protagonist Arno as well, he had a good wit to him. Releasing it early (and the PR fallout from it) really sabotaged an actually really good game, it's a shame.
Syndicate is good and the combat a lot faster, but overall I preferred Unity. The grappling hook in Syndicate is a lot of fun, but IMO made the game too easy. You should do Origins/Odyssey after that one (if you're not burnt out on AC by then), they made some drastic changes - mostly for the better. Combat is so different now.

Unity had a lot of good elements and I enjoyed it overall. The dumb companion app was dumb, and as a completionist, I hated the cooperative multiplayer trophies (that I never ended up getting). The bugs and rushed release were of course major problems too.
Syndicate was a little boring and easy. Unity had the potential to match ACII as one of the greats.
Anyhow... I beat Origins and was very pleased. Mildly annoyed its turning into a gear hunting RPG, but overall it was great. Odyssey so far is really good too. About halfway done that one.
