Assassin's Creed Syndicate (PS4)

Product Information

About being repetitive, which game isn't repetitive, at some point or the other, every game becomes repetitive. The graphics, while achieving truly impressive technical feats like massive draw distances, were a bit of a letdown to me - the game doesn't look like a current gen-only title. The slums are caked in mud and thousands of chimneys spew forth thick black smoke, but there’s a kind of beauty when you see it blot the sky at dusk.

The game takes place in London at the close of the Industrial Revolution, and finds players controlling Jacob Frye and his twin sister Evie as they battle the Templars for control of the city's seven boroughs.

Police and gangs are as twitchy as ever, regularly instigating mass scuffles when you’re doing nothing more than standing still. These figures consist of Darwin, Karl Marx, Queen Victoria, and more but I won’t go into detail on what you’ll be doing with them, because where’s the fun in me telling you? Also, any downloadable content (DLC) or codes that usually come with these items are likely to have been redeemed already and are not available for reuse.

And this brand new trailer introduces a few of them – like Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone turned explosives expert. As in Origins and all subsequent games, these games have been the end of the saga, I hope Mirage represents a breaking point with this. Or about the game mechanics,it is common sense that if they change the core mechanics,it would not be the same game and people would still complain. But their contrasting worldviews have the greatest positive impact on Syndicate’s structure, which is both engaging and meaningful.

I still had plenty of issues, but it was a better game than the version early adopters had despaired with. The new grappling hook gives you speedy ways to scale huge buildings like the tower of big ben in seconds (you'll even find pigeons nesting at the top when you get there!

There are so many amusing missions, from tracking down hallucinogenic orchids for Charles Darwin to retrieving the lapdog of Benjamin Disraeli’s wife in the Devil’s Acre, the most dangerous part of London. It can only be summed up as brutally quick as key moments go by in a flash with little thought put into them, and there are no slowdowns that allow you to reflect on what has taken place. The combat is well balanced, the open world is fun,the sandbox approach is way more polished and transportation is a lot improved(horse carriages, the most awesome AC2 set piece now implemented in the open world) and rope launcher is a time saver and it also doesn't restrict you to enjoy the old building climbing. Do not forget that you are covered by our Life Time Guarantee and that our services are 100% Secure and Legal.Story missions begin and end very abruptly, instead of smoothly transitioning from the open world - again, GTA V was a masterclass in this.

Whilst the platforming has evolved relatively modestly, Ubisoft deserves some credit for improved structuring. In conclusion Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate is an amazing standalone game packed with fun things to do from beginning to end. A world no longer controlled by kings, emperors, politicians or religion, but by a new common denominator: money.

However while this goes against the creed it is necessary because the game would become extremely frustrating if you failed every time you knocked down an innocent person by accident. And those at the bottom, the workers of industrial London serving as little more than slaves, are growing restless and forming gangs. Whilst a lot of the exploration treads the same ground as Unity , Syndicate does produce some fun side-missions. It would also be nice to have more non-lethal ways to subdue others, especially in a setting that introduces the police as a hostile but ultimately well-meaning obstacle that I didn’t feel good about having to kill. This leaves the game in a good position ripe with opportunities to expand upon the characters, change them, have them grow, or even put them in conflict with each other – but it chooses not to do that, or at least not until the end at which point it feels forced.
