After some not-so-good reviews and serious flak on the "Assassin's Creed Unity," game developer Ubisoft is trying to move forward with their latest offering from the series. Now, here are some things you might want to know about the "Assassin's Creed Syndicate."

Review and New Features

Movie Pilot has listed some of the new and improved features of Syndicate to keep the fans of the series on their toes in terms of the excitement in gameplay. One of the new features that the developers introduced to the latest Assassin's Creed game that sets it apart from the previous installments is the change to a faster game pace. It was unlike the previous games that bogs you down because of slow-paced introductions, says Movie Pilot. The tutorial part was smoothly incorporated in the actual gameplay so you can get more into the action and less of the tedious details.

Another feature is the option to choose from two characters, siblings Jacob and Evie Frye. This feature works out in two ways for the gamers. For one, it adds up to the total gameplay hours because after playing one character, you can also take the option of playing the other one. Talk about value for money, right? The two characters also have different personalities where one is the more calculating and stealthy in her actions and the other one being the scrappier and combatant character.

Lastly, the developer has seemingly worked on a lot of details that pertains to the game's environment, which is set in 1868 Victorian-era London. These details make for some fast-paced and exciting action scenes for the player. The setting has somehow added to the improvement from the previous game, which was marred with a lot of glitches and bugs. Scotsman.com notes that it instantly raises hopes for Syndicate, a game that could turn things around and get the series back to its form, which the fans have come to love.

Guide, Tips, and Tricks

NDTV Gadgets advises players to get to know the two assassins and their differences as mentioned above. This way, you could maximize their strengths and use them on different situations where they fit. Although, you cannot change the character for the game story itself, you can switch between the two for different side quests.

It is also advisable to value your allies during the game. Completing missions for them could help you gain more experience points and equipment. Lastly, make your environment work for you and use them against enemies like dropping crates on them or creating a cloud of hallucinogenic gas.
