RELATED: What Connor Does After Assassin's Creed 3 Arno Dorian's Tragic Life as an AssassinĪrno Dorian's life is filled with tragedy, loss, and grief, and the first evidence fans get to see of this comes within the very moments of Assassin's Creed Unity. In fact, he is by far one of the most tragic characters in the entire series. And while Assassin's Creed Unity certainly isn't without its issues, with some game-breaking bugs and surprisingly awkward controls and mechanics, the game's main protagonist, Arno Dorian, is a little more complex than fans first gave him credit for. Releasing in the very midst of Assassin's Creed's franchise fatigue period, Assassin's Creed Unity was met with middling review scores and lacked any real impact on the market, with many viewing it as simply another Assassin's Creed to throw on the pile of yearly releases. While the series has rarely dropped below a 70 on Metacritic, there are a few entries that are considered a tad weaker than the rest, and Assassin's Creed Unity is one such title.

Over the years, the general reception for each Assassin's Creed entry has varied quite a bit. With 12 mainline entries, and over 15 spin-off games, it's only natural that not all Assassin's Creed games have been met with the same level of critical acclaim.
