Single player Third person 🏹 Adventure 💥 Action 🐉 Fantasy 🛸 Science fiction 🏛️ Historical 🚶 Stealth 🌍 Open world
Summary

London, 1868. The Industrial Revolution unleashes an incredible age of invention, transforming the lives of millions with technologies once thought impossible. Opportunities created during this period have people rushing to London to engage in this new world, a world no longer controlled by kings, emperors, politicians, or religion, but by a new common denominator: money. Not everyone is able to enjoy the benefits of this boom, however. Despite fueling the engine of the British Empire, workers’ lives are little more than legalized slavery while the top few percent profit from their labor. Living poor and dying young, the lower class unite in protest as a new kind of family, gangs, who turn to a life in the underworld in their struggle to survive. A struggle, until watchful Assassins come to their side and re-ignite an age-old conflict involving London’s leaders that will echo throughout modern history, from the underground up. Introducing Jacob Frye, who with the help of his twin sister Evie, will change the fate of millions in Assassin’s Creed Syndicate. Rise to rally and lead the underworld to break the corrupt stranglehold on London in a visceral adventure filled with action, intrigue, and brutal combat.

I was looking for a decent open world game and surprisingly I almost got it with this one. It brings back conquest and revenue which you can pick up over time, there are also not that many collectibles (I didn't bother collecting all of them in any category though). After not liking, rogue, liberation and kind of being annoyed by unity this felt like a noticeable step up. But the game is way too long, shaving off like one third would have made it much better I think. The side missions outright suck and I was annoyed by the time Darwin and the goddamn queen bothered me. The story also starts mediocre and gets progressively worse. I don't even know what the lead characters motivations were at several points, they just do as they are told. Still better than unity, but I guess I take a break from ac for now and I hope the next one is at least written better. I pretty much hated everything involving the present day storyline and the gods storyline was even worse.

Lack of weapon variety. Simplistic combat and stealth. Frustrating RPG stat implementation. Jacob and Evie aren't differentiated enough in gameplay. Great atmosphere and character dynamics.

I'm not sure I can really explain this one.

This game is really stupid and silly and ridiculous and dumb. But also it rules? I don't know. Proto Spiderman zipping around in London in the goofiest storyline with funny British people saying funny British stuff and using funny weapons like knuckle dusters and cane-swords.

This feels like I shouldn't like it because of how much I hated Unity but somehow this game is just smoother? Controls in climbing and combat are just less sluggish and everything feels more responsive. The world is really visually impressive too without all the annoying lens flare of Unity. Biggest gripe is probably really just that Evie feels at times sidelined in the main missions, with Jacob getting a lot of the attention/assassination missions, but it really feels like this is supposed to be Evie's story.

I could probably go more in depth on this but this is one of the best in the franchise and my main way of proving that is I actually actively wanted to play additional missions and shit which is generally not the case with me and Assassin's Creed. Color me surprised with how much I enjoyed this one.

My 2nd ever game within this franchise ^-^ mmm I'd say I liked it too tbh. As Unity gave an insight between the bond that may foster between two individuals of different organizations (The Templars & Assassins), this game however allowed for insight on a bond between those within the brotherhood themselves, taking it a step forward when they're actual blood siblings too XD Twins at that. The synergy and gameplay and at least the option to play a wamen was nice XD don't know much about the other games but I've only seen men on the covers thus far and her character didn't feel like "I'm woman just because I am and inclusivity" but felt like an actual character with character XD yknow?
