15. Fighting Bellec
Unity was somewhat… forgettable. It had its moments, but it was overall underwhelming. Plagued by technical issues, a lacklustre story and characters that were dull and unimaginative, it resulted in a game that was just… meh. But even with all that, it had one shining glory:
The fight against Bellec.
A genuinely difficult fight that required a degree of skill and finesse, the fight with Bellec was picture perfect. Fighting atop a cathedral amidst a storm instilled a sense of peril and was just awe-inspiring. Couple that with combat that was relatively difficult, and you had a fight that was actually really fun.
The weight behind the encounter was perhaps one of the more thought provoking philosophical concepts in the game. That, and the emotion behind fighting your mentor gave the fight a degree of heart that was lacking throughout the rest of the story.
It was the standout moment and represented what AC: Unity could have been. It’s just a shame that the rest of the game falls incredibly short.
