The game follows the classic Assassin's Creed formula while also introducing elements that would influence the current shift in tone of the series. Classic Assassin's Creed Gameplay Ever since Assassin's Creed Origins released in 2017, the franchise has been much more focused on delivering open-world RPG experiences than previous entries. Assassin's Creed Syndicate stands as the last title in the series to follow the classic Assassin's Creed style of sneaking through city streets in order to take down Templars. While recent installments have been praised for this change in direction, there's still a level of charm to what made the franchise so popular to begin with. The game demonstrates the years of experience that Ubisoft had built up with this formula, showing its progression from the first Assassin's Creed to Syndicate. The Atmosphere Of Victorian London Out of all of the mainline Assassin's Creed games, Syndicate puts players in the closest era to the present, Victorian London. The world that Ubisoft established with this game is one of the most detailed of any Assassin's Creed installment. The atmosphere of London is fully realized, with bustling city streets and the sounds of industry abound. Some of the most iconic views in London can be explored, including Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, and the Tower of London. It's the closest players can get to visiting the historic city without actually booking a flight. The Industrial Revolution In addition to the Victorian setting of the game, Assassin's Creed Syndicate also takes place at the tail end of the Industrial Revolution. This time period was marked by tremendous technological advancement, and a lot of this new technology can be used in the game. The firearms that Jacob and Evie have at their disposal are the most advanced in the Assassin's Creed series, and the base of operations for the twins is on a moving locomotive. It may not be as customizable as the homestead in Valhalla, but it's am excellent representation of the time and really adds to the immersion. A Grounded Assassin's Creed Story The Assassin's Creed series has always blended a bit of historical fiction with the mystical. The story of the Isu and the Great Catastrophe is one that has permeated much of the franchise ever since the first game, and it varies in popularity based on different groups of fans. Much of the consensus seems to be that the storylines can get a little convoluted, and this is where Assassin's Creed Syndicate comes in to address those concerns. Compared to other installments, Syndicate is much more grounded in its story, revolving more around political power struggles rather than ancient beings. The Gang Mechanic in Assassin's Creed Syndicate One of major facets of the more grounded story in Syndicate has to do with Jacob Frye putting together his own street gang in order to combat the Templar controlled gang that serves as the game's regular suite of antagonists. In a style very similar to Assassin's Creed Brotherhood and some later installments, players are given near total control of this gang to use as they like. The more territories a player controls, the more prevalent the appearance of their gang will be, allowing them to call on members from almost every corner of the map to help with certain objectives. It really adds to the feeling of taking over London's streets. Engaging Combat The Assassin's Creed franchise shines its brightest in its moments of stealth, but there have been times where active combat gets a little questionable. The trilogy of games focused on Ezio are perhaps the most infamous for this, where players got better results waiting to counter enemies rather than actively attacking them. Assassin's Creed Syndicate demonstrates one of the biggest departures from this yet by providing a robust combat system that's based on aggressive attacks and building up a combo. The suite of weapons available are also some of the most diverse in the Assassin's Creed series, including cane swords and brass knuckles.
