I think Unity needs to be given a little more credit actually. The crowd sizes in the game are insane. You can actually be the blade in the crowd and it feels incredibly bad ass walking through these massive amounts of people while stealthily killing off guards and targets. I moved on to Syndicate this weekend and while I am enjoying the overall game more, the reduced sizes of the crowds is very noticeable.

Just spent some time seeing the historical sights in Greece which had me excited to revisit them in Odyssey once I got home, but an impromptu 3 day stop in Paris (super cheap flight deal to Calgary) before I flew home - which I surprisingly LOVED - actually inspired me to fire up Unity again. It's been a few years, forgot how much I liked this game.
The controls are a bit clunky at first in comparison to Origins/Odyssey (holding R2 to run, and the pre actual eagle version of eagle vision feels limited), and the combat isn't as good, but the climbing is actually much smoother. The past two iterations are so combat-focused that I'm loving the stealth focus of Unity, which yeah the massive crowd sizes just add to. It's great! I really like the Arno character too, such a smart###.
It's actually hard to believe while playing it that this game was so widely panned and has gone down as an all-time failure, man did Ubi sink their own ship with that undercooked launch on an otherwise great game (once it was finished). It's a shame, this is literally in the running as possibly my favourite AC game I think.
EDIT: Oh yeah, the companion app and MP stuff was also kind of annoying. Just did an MP mission and was quickly reminded why they moved away from that stuff after Unity.
