INTRODUCTION
Assassin's Creed Syndicate is an action-adventure video game developed by Ubisoft Quebec and published by Ubisoft. It was released on October 23, 2015, for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and on November 19, 2015, for Microsoft Windows. It is the ninth major installment in the Assassin's Creed series, and the successor to 2014's Assassin's Creed Unity.
The plot is set in a fictional history of real-world events and follows the centuries-old struggle between the Assassins, who fight for peace with liberty, and the Templars, who desire peace through order. The story is set in Victorian era London and follows twin assassins Jacob and Evie Frye as they navigate the corridors of organized crime, and take back the city from Templar control. The open world design lets players freely roam London.
The game is played from a third-person view and its world is navigated on foot or by carriage. The game introduces new traveling systems and refined combat and stealth mechanics. Players control the two lead protagonists—twins Jacob and Evie Frye—throughout the game's story, switching between them both during and outside of missions. Unlike its direct predecessors, Syndicate does not feature any multiplayer gameplay.
Assassin's Creed Syndicate received positive reviews. Critics praised the visuals, the likability of the major characters, especially the Frye twins and the antagonist, the interwoven structure of the sidequests and main objectives, creative mission design, as well as the lightheartedness of the game and the entertaining story. Criticism was directed at the lackluster ending as well as the aging and repetitive gameplay, combat mechanics and the lack of diverse character-models, yet overall critics were saying that it was an improvement over Unity.
GAMEPLAY
Assassin's Creed Syndicate is an action-adventure game played from a third-person view, 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, players can freely roam the open world. Composed of the greater area of Victorian London, consisting of seven boroughs,[b] the world of Assassin's Creed Syndicate is much larger than previous entries in the series.[c] Players 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.[6]
The game lets players control two characters: twins Jacob and Evie Frye.[7] Jacob is a hot-headed brawler, specializing in close-ranged combat,[8] while Evie is strong in stealth and relies on her intelligence and wit.[8][9] Additionally, Evie is the first playable female protagonist of the main series.[9][d] The main weapons of Syndicate include brass knuckles, a compact revolver, a cane-sword, and the traditional Nepalese curved kukri knife.[10] The game also introduces new systems to navigate the world: a rope launcher, which allows players to rappel up structures, or create a zip-line between buildings;[11] carriages, which can be piloted or simply occupied by players, and can be the setting of fights and parkour chases;[8][12] and a train, which serves as the main base for players throughout the game.[13] The game has no multiplayer mode,[14] and does not feature a companion app, which was introduced in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag.[15]
