Paris, 1789. The French Revolution turns a once magnificent city into a place of terror and chaos. Its cobblestoned streets run red with the blood of commoners who dare to rise up against an oppressive aristocracy. Yet as the nation tears itself apart, a young man named Arno will embark upon an extraordinary journey to expose the true powers behind the Revolution. His pursuit will throw him into the middle of a ruthless struggle for the fate of a nation, and transform him into a true Master Assassin.
Introducing Assassin's Creed Unity, the blockbuster franchise's new chapter powered by the all new Anvil engine, rebuilt from the ground up for next gen. From the storming of the Bastille to the execution of King Louis XVI, experience the French Revolution as never before, and help the people of France carve an entirely new destiny.

It's no better or worse than most of the AC games.
The reason it's so cheap is a bit hard to explain, but I'll try....
Back in 1941 in SouthWestern Germany a train was laden with stolen gold and driven into a series of tunnels under the owl mountains - to be hidden away until after the war.
However, a young train guard (Albert Frierd) took the opportunity to grab two gold coins worth around £2,000, and pocket them for himself. When he died suddenly in 1961 the coins were passed onto his two sons Alfred and Lutz. Unfortunately, they couldnt agree on what to do with the coins, and fought each other all the time, until things came to a head in 1972 when they arranged a secret duel. Things didn't go as planned and they both shot each other fatally.....the coins were found in their possessions by executors of Lutz's will, but thought to be worthless replicas and sold on to an antique dealer in Hamburg.
They were soon sold on to a collector from Belgium - Christian Hardin - who soon after had them sold on the black market for considerably less than their worth (he couldn't go to the authorities with stolen Nazi gold). Christian used the money to shower his secret lover with gifts, including a classic Model T Ford car, which she has exported to England in 1994 after her husband's death. The car was passed onto her son Toby when she herself succumbed to bowel cancer in 2011. Toby wasn't very keen on cars so he sold the Ford for a handsome sum and set up his own online games shop. His first purchase of stock was an absolute shtload of digital codes for Assassins Creed Unity, as he hoped to bundle them with Xbox consoles....Toby wasn't the smartest vendor though, and wasn't able to predict the lack of enthusiasm for a new AC game, so he ended up with a load left over.
And that, is why Assassins Creed Unity is so cheap.
True story.
