8 Terrible Video Game Ports that Were Practically Unplayable
AC: Unity
Okay, AC: Unity ran terribly across the board. Looking back at Unity speaks volumes for Ubisoft’s rejuvenation in recent years. Compared to this year’s excellent Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Unity looks like it was made by an entirely different company. The game was riddled with a litany of performance issues, hilarious glitches, and a total absence of polish; the PC port, again, was the main offender, being reported as flat-out unplayable by significant portions of the player base. If Steam refunds were around in 2014 it would have been record-breaking.
Curiously, previous PC versions in the Assassin’s Creed franchise ran well but took a sudden nosedive with Unity. Thankfully, Ubisoft has brushed off its PC port issues for the time being, but Unity will go down as one of the most disastrous launches in the studio’s history.
