Assassin’s Creed Syndicate just came out recently, but what’s new? Here’s my review on the much anticipated game from Ubisoft.
Around 150 years ago, it was the edge of the industrial revolution. This is when “Syndicate” begins. Yeah, we still have the present day story but this time, it seems even more interesting than the past titles. Is the latest installment going in the right direction? Read on to find out! Here’s the full Davao Geek Hub review of Assassin’s Creed Syndicate!
First of all, the game was completed on an Asus G550JW laptop. 16 GB of RAM, an i7-4720HQ CPU, and a GTX 960M for graphics. Syndicate set at custom settings – 720p resolution at a Borderless Fullscreen, all medium settings with anti-aliasing OFF. If you have a greater system then you can most definitely enjoy this new title.
Take note that this review is a TOTALLY SPOILER FREE review so feel free to read on with confidence!
Let’s start:
Combat is great and fast paced this time. Gone are the days where all you do is stalk and stab. In this game, you fight with a combo system where you’re in the center of the action always. Gang fights are extremely enjoyable and while the combat does get repetitive after a few hours in, it’s still fun to beat the s*** out of your enemies. This time around, you get to equip various different weapons with different styles of attack unlike the previous games where weapon picking is very limited. Fighting has never been better for me!
What else is there to say? The graphics in this game are phenomenal.
While every aspect of the game is great, the music score in this one might be a bit disappointing. Even in the action packed scenes and fights, I don’t find myself engrossed at all with the music that I’d rather be playing the Black Flag soundtrack.
The sound doesn’t exactly capture the action that they’ve put much effort into putting in the game. It sounds a bit toned down and sometimes, I don’t even notice the music at all. Comparing it to previous titles, I’d give the music an “Okay” rating for this one.
Assassin’s Creed Syndicate is fun, action packed, and massive. It’s a great addition to the collection and if you’re an Assassin’s Creed fan, this game is definitely going to fit well in your collection.
