Moving laterally instead of forward, Assassin's Creed Syndicate is the definition of iterative 0
Assassin's Creed Syndicate is the ninth main entry in the series since the franchise debut in 2007, and the first I've put my hands on since Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag in early 2014. Playing through, it was difficult to take what Syndicate had to offer and where it executes it's ideas well without looking to the past and comparing it to other entries in the series. Whereas Black Flag was a major departure from the traditional open world Ubisoft is fond of creating, Syndicate (without the co...

Requiescant In Pace Iterum 0
Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve done this song and dance nine different times now. Since the franchise’s initial endeavor into the 12th century, we have now made our way all the way up to the 19th century. I have personally played every mainline Assassin’s Creed title since its inception except Rogue, but I’ll be the first to admit that I understand the mass fatigue with the series, but that still hasn’t kept me from genuinely liking every iteration released. The genera...

A return to what makes Assassin's Creed fun 0
It took AC: Syndicate to make me realize something: I enjoyed Black Flag for all the reasons it wasn't an Assassin's Creed game. I loved ship combat and customization, freeing slaves from plantations, and just in general exploring the world. On the other hand, story missions were mostly dull and forgettable, there were a number of unenjoyable side activities like chasing down shanties and bell diving, and the classic parkour Assassin's Creed is known for was kind of bland thanks to the patchwork...

Don't Count Assassin's Creed Out Just Yet. 0
Like pretty much anybody else, I was about ready to call it quits with the Assassin’s Creed series after last year’s entry, Unity. It wasn’t so much that the game was technically disappointing, but on a philosophical and design level the game just wasn’t fun. There was so much to do in the game, but I hardly had a good time doing any of it. Word of mouth and my ability to forgive to a fault led me to putting Assassin’s Creed: Syndiacte into my Playstation 4 this ye...

No, Not THAT Syndicate Game 0
Assassin's Creed Syndicate is a return to form for Ubisoft. Not only is it able to inject new life into the series but it brings the franchise back to where it started; not in terms of story and setting but in terms of structure. Sure, there's new and improved mechanics but Assassin's Creed Syndicate is a solely single-player game. This allowed Ubisoft to focus all of its efforts on creating an well polished experience without having to worry about extra bells and whistles that were only ever m...

A better version of the same Assassin's Creed game 0
When I picked up Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate for the Playstation 4, it was primarily because I had played all of the other primary games in the series (AC, AC II, AC: Brotherhood, AC: Revelations, AC III, AC IV, and AC: Unity) and because it was only $8 on a post Thanksgiving sale. To be honest, I was not sure about starting such a long gaming endeavor, especially given how the series seemed to be struggling to find an identity. What I found when I started playing was a fantastically reali...
