![]() Each borough is split into further areas and assigned one side mission each. The large map of London is divided into boroughs. There's items to collect like Helix Glitches, Music Boxes, Pressed Flowers, Vintage Wine and plenty of treasure Chests. There's other quests like Cargo Escort or Cargo Hijack which ends up being a chase in horse and carriages. Children can give you items, there's events where you have to react quickly such as 'kill the criminals' that are harassing a citizen, or 'catch the thief' who will be fleeing the scene of the crime. ![]() There's plenty of things to distract you as you navigate the streets. Police patrol the streets with guns and batons. You will see people shopping in the markets, socialising in pubs, travelling the streets in horse and carriages, or making their way by boat in the River Thames. There's plenty of people in the streets which brings the city to life. Maybe I'm biassed since I'm English, but the world was wonderful to explore. ![]() The aesthetic and detail to the game is very impressive. The modern day story involving Abstergo is minimal, and only told via a few cut-scenes. Evie wants to track down the Piece of Eden, whereas Jacob wants to reduce Templar control and increase control for his gang known as The Rooks. I often felt the dialogue was geared towards action cliché, especially from Jacob i.e.: he can encounter a near death situation but will casually come up with a pun. The main plot seems a bit thin with the lack of major plot events/twists/drama. Frederick Abberline, (the Chief Inspector during the Jack The Ripper murders) will be involved in the main story (this doesn't involve Jack The Ripper that is available as DLC). These side missions can provide interesting scenarios and vary the game-play compared to the main story-line or the standard side missions. Alexander Graham Bell needs assistance with his inventions such as the telephone or voltaic bombs. Karl Marx wants to fight for the working class. Charles Dickens' tasks will involve various paranormal phenomena, Darwin's tasks involve fossils and his theory of evolution. You can switch between the two for the side missions, but the main Sequences (missions) force you to play as a particular character.Īs you progress through the game, you will team up with various historical figures such as Charles Darwin, Alexander Graham Bell, Karl Marx and Frederick Abberline. The twins head to London to take back the city from Templar control. Jacob is reckless and doesn't care for the history or ways of the creed, while Evie is quite the opposite she prefers a careful approach and has a keen interest in their lineage. You play as two characters, twins Jacob and Evie Frye. Syndicate is set in 1868 Victorian London. I get why it’s fun to some but idk I found most of it rather boring. I want to like Syndicate, I really do, it was one of the first AC games I ever played and the 2nd I finished, I loved it back in early 2017 when I first finished it but going back, it doesn’t hold up to me. Besides those there’s the carriage chases which are silly fun and.that’s it tbh. You can use the rope launcher to get yourself from point to point and it makes stealth more dynamic even if otherwise the rope launcher amounts to nothing but press R to skip the parkour.Īnd it has a few decent missions ig? The blackbox missions are cool yet very easy and feel like a downgrade from Unity since the parkour and combat aren’t as good even if the unique kills and the opportunities are arguably more consistently useful. Being able to crouch is thankfully back though having 2 equippable items isnt back so your options are once again more limited. They scaled down on the side content but that doesnt mean quality over quantity but rather the same 4 copy pasted missions in every district, sometimes more than once, the average collectables and the fight club thingy that's fine but not memorable.īut oh well it does some things right, for starters it gets the stealth right. A lighthearted story with a whole lot of cringey jokes doesn't work too well with a setting this grim and depressing. Not being able to jump and the parkour being reduced to its shallowest form, combat being one button for attack, one for dodge and one to break guard and the enemies taking forever to die.
