Couple that with some of the simple-yet-satisfying puzzles found underground, and I half-expected Arno to don a whip and fedora and start grumbling about Atlantis.However, some of the winding corridors and overlapping pathways of this decidedly unique setting make it a bit too easy to get lost in the darkness, even when using map waypoints. These subterranean areas are much larger than I expected, and the tight, narrow passageways that give way to huge underground caverns help create a genuinely tense feeling of never knowing what’s around the next corner.
It provides an interesting new aesthetic, but I was glad to see the familiar setting disappeared almost entirely once I descended into the labyrinthine tunnels that make up two of Franciade's five districts.Įxploring the maze-like crypts and catacombs of Dead Kings is, at least at first, both entertaining and a refreshing spin on Unity's gameplay.
Arno will still shove his way through the same crowds of repeated NPCs (that occasionally float over one another) and clamber over similar rooftops, so the only thing that separates these streets from those in Paris are the permanently overcast skies and a haunting layer of fog that blankets the city. While the new location itself is large - easily one-fourth the size of Ubisoft's Paris and bigger than the starting area of Versailles - the above-ground sections don't feel all that different from the areas that we left behind in Paris.
