The story of Syndicate doesn’t force Jacob and Evie to face linear missions where you can play as either character each mission is tailored to a specific character playing into their personalities, Jacob has his mind set on stopping the Templar's, meanwhile Evie spends most of the game chasing after legends with a new piece of Eden that she wants to keep out of the Templar's hands, it was a nice touch that really helps things flow a whole lot better.

Likewise it is because of these characters that the overall story found in Syndicate is also highly memorable, the story of Syndicate is one of freedom as Evie and Jacob head to London in order to free the city from the grips of gangs and the Templar's who seek to profit from the Industrial Revolution. In combination Evie and Jacob are some of the most memorable characters in recent years as the constant banter as well as evolution over the course of the story. Evie on the other hand is the exact opposite, she is methodical relying on plans before acting, her strong emphasis on stealth makes her a great character, though she is often weaker when put into a proper brawl. Jacob plays out as your act first think later character who will cause trouble without a single thought for the consequences as well as get into a fist fight in a moment’s notice, Jacob emphasizes being the brawler who would rather take out an army in a fight then use means of stealth. Both Evie and Jacob Frye are memorable as well as unique characters in their own rights, each has their own goals, beliefs and way of approaching things. Syndicate places us in the shoes of two characters this time around allowing us to play as twins Evie and Jacob Frye, where Ubisoft has usually failed to create one character that is interesting in past games they have done it with ease in Syndicate. It is clear that Ubisoft did their research while creating Syndicate and it pays off.
The world is littered with factories, as well as rundown buildings which initially seem ugly to begin with but really plays into the game authentic charm showing the poor get poorer and the rich get richer. London in 1868 is the closest the franchise has come to modern history and it uses this setting well all across the game, at the height of the Industrial Revolution was progress, as well as the drive to get money. On the first account of launching bug free Ubisoft kind of failed with many notable bugs appearing across the entire game(none of which are game breaking), but in a more positive light Assassin’s Creed Syndicate is one of the best, if not the best Assassin’s Creed games I have ever played.Īssassin’s Creed Syndicate brings us to one of the more fascinating pieces of history that exists outside of the usual turmoil of revolution or war, this time we are brought to London during the height of the Industrial Revolution. Ubisoft had a lot to do this year, after the less than satisfactory arrival of Unity last year Ubisoft had to ensure that Syndicate launched bug free and with a solid game that could bring the franchise back.
