Assassin’s Creed Syndicate

Assassin’s Creed Syndicate

Assassin’s Creed Syndicate is an action-adventure, stealth game played from a third-person perspective, that features similar gameplay elements to the previous games in the series. Players complete quests—linear scenarios with set objectives—to progress through the story. Outside of quests, the player can freely roam the open world. Composed of the greater area of Victorian London, consisting of seven boroughs, the world of Assassin’s Creed Syndicate is much larger than previous entries in the series. The player can also perform side missions, which were designed to reflect the fight for power in London, and are cohesive to the game’s main story. In keeping with a historical context that more closely resembles the modern day, the city guard of previous iterations is replaced by a Victorian-era police force, who will rarely attack the player unless a crime is committed in their presence; the player’s main enemy is instead a Templar-controlled street gang called the “Blighters.”

Features:

  • Champion justice
    As Jacob Frye, a young and reckless Assassin, use your skills to help those trampled by the march of progress. From freeing exploited children used as slave labour in factories, to stealing precious assets from enemy boats, you will stop at nothing to bring justice back to London’s streets.
  • Command London’s underworld
    To reclaim London for the people, you will need an army. As a gang leader, strengthen your stronghold and rally rival gang members to your cause, in order to take back the capital from the Templars’ hold.
  • A new dynamic fighting system
    In Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, action is fast-paced and brutal. As a master of combat, combine powerful multi-kills and countermoves to strike your enemies down.
  • A whole new arsenal
    Choose your own way to fight enemies. Take advantage of the Rope Launcher technology to be as stealthy as ever and strike with your Hidden Blade. Or choose the kukri knife and the brass knuckles to get the drop on your enemies.

 

Assassin’s Creed Syndicate Review

A significant improvement over AC: Unity but not without its flaws. Syndicate stars twins Jacob and Evie Frye set in Victorian London. As always with AC games, the world is beautiful and feels alive. The Frye twins are interesting protagonists and the game play aspect of being able to switch between characters for a slightly different play style is a nice change.

Unfortunately Syndicate also shares some similar problems as previous AC installments, namely repetition. The world map is filled with side missions and collectibles, alas most of them are pretty much the same and once you’ve collected a few vintage beer bottles or pressed flowers there’s not much fun in finding more, unless you want to try different color schemes for your outfits in the crafting menu.

Speaking of crafting, the crafting system has been expanded this time around and you’ll be able to craft new and more powerful weapons and armor which is a nice addition to the game. Skills and perks have been improved as well but at only 10 levels max it won’t take you that long to reach the highest level.

Some side missions will have you encounter famous people from the Victorian era but game play wise these missions don’t do anything new. The main missions do provide alternate ways of completing objectives, which is nice but in the end I found that it just didn’t provide enough entertainment to revisit.

As with most AC games, don’t expect great optimization or a steady frame rate and be prepared to struggle with numerous bugs and graphical glitches, though it’s certainly not as bad as AC: Unity.

If you’re a fan of the AC series then Syndicate is worth picking up. If not then this game will not change your mind as it’s really more of them same except in a different setting.

Summary
The game is a triumphant return to form for the franchise, and presents a beautifully structured tale with heart and soul to spare. Ziplining through London is thrilling, and the game allows you to organically discover missions and leaves you open-ended solutions lets you to create a meaningful, personal experience within its world. Coupled with strong, loveable leads and a seemingly endless procession of ways to leave your (fictional) mark on London's history, Assassin's Creed Syndicate is a shining example of gameplay and storytelling.
