It’s not just in the main characters where respect is given, there are gay characters, obese characters, trans-gender characters and more. It never feels like you are playing a role that is specific to a women and it just happens to be a women who is part of the game. Yet this isn’t a case of Evie being pushed to the side and only being able to the the less hands on stuff, as she can fight and fight as well as anyone. Jacob is a lot more cock-sure and is always looking for a more in your face approach to things, whereas Evie is a lot more careful and has a different set of skills. The interactions between herself and Jacob are well handled and treated like they are any other brother and sister, often at each other’s throats, but with that overall respect and love for each other. There is nothing sexual about her appearance, she is dressed in a way that is practical to her profession, rather than for titillation, she is also treated with respect by her peers, rather than being used as a plot point to make others seem more powerful. Just looking at Evie, you can tell from the outset she has been given equal status to her brother. Yet a lot of credit deserves to go Ubisoft’s way, especially after the criticism they rightfully got for Unity. Games have had a long history of misrepresenting women and their place in the medium and is something that has been discussed at length in various places and something I don’t wish to dwell on for too long. ![]() The thing that stands out the most is Evie herself and the way she is portrayed. The twins are superbly written and wonderfully acted. That comes down to the characters, especially the two leads, Evie and Jacob Frye. I’ll come back to combat soon, but I must mention the real reason this is the best in the series to date. You do need to be on your toes at all times and slip-ups can be costly. One thing that does stand out is the AI feels a lot better this time around, far from perfect, but a definite improvement.

Take things as carefully and stealthily as you want, or approach the situation head-on. At the same time though, the options you have to approach each mission feel a lot more open, allowing you to go in and choose your own approach. Much like most Ubisoft titles, you have a well realised open-world that comprises of main story missions and a ton of side quests and discoveries to keep you occupied.Ĭombat is nicely done, mixing up close quarters combat and stealth assassinations. Mechanically this is as Assassin’s Creed as you can get, to the point you can pick it up and if you have played any of the previous games, you will feel very much at home. Yet here I am writing a review for what I consider the best of the series to date, I’d like to sat that this is because this Assassin’s Creed feels different, that is has new mechanics that set it apart from all the other titles. ![]() Sure, it had new characters and a different setting, but it is still an Assassin’s Creed game and if I am being honest, I really wasn’t excited for the release. So it was with some trepadation that I started Assassin’s Creed Syndicate. Being a yearly franchise just doesn’t feel like the right thing, as bugs were rife in the last game and it was an absolute average affair, even if you discount those bugs. Are we at a point with the Assassin’s Creed series where fatigue has well and truly set in? Well after the mess that was Assassin’s Creed Unity, it seemed that way. ![]()
