Assassin's Creed Syndicate

The protagonist are twin assassin's named Jacob & Evie Frye. You can change between them at any point of the game but most of the missions in the campaign are reserved for Jacob. The characters are well written and the interaction between the two is filled with sibling rivalry. There a ton of side missions and most of them are repetitive which becomes boring very soon. You get to meet the queen and do some missions for her which are fun. The combat is almost identical to Unity. The campaign is good as it shows how deep the corruption is that the Templars have a stronghold in every part of London from science, politics, finance to transportation. You kill the high profile templars but leave the position unfilled which just creates a vacuum of power. The new addition is the grapple gun which you can use to glide across the city or climb the towers quickly. Horses are removed and carriages have taken their place in the game. The build-up was pumping the game until the ending which is disappointing.

It was okay.

Conclusion:

Overall, Syndicate is a great Action-adventure game! It offers the best Open world experience of 1868 London. The side quest with historical persons is quite interesting, which helps you appreciate their unique disposition. Combat gameplay is quite normal. The main story is a bummer, as it doesn't quite leave a mark. 7.7/10
