Assassin's Creed Syndicate PC Review

Assassin's Creed Syndicate. The ninth major installment in the Assassin's Creed Franchise which has for years got every action gamer on the edge of their seats! Will this one drive the franchise forward or bring it down to a slump! Let's find out!

STORY:

With Assassin's Creed Syndicate visiting Industrial London in the 19th century (1800-1899), Ubisoft has centralized the story around two Assassin's instead of one! That's right! Jacob and Evie Frye, Twin assassin's who set foot in London with high hopes to return it back to the people from the clutches of Grand master of the British rite of the Templar order, Crawford Starrick. Starrick has the strongest grip on the whole of London's industries! Jacob and Evie are helped by an Assassin named Henry Green, who has been working to liberate London, from the shadows! Jacob is an adrenaline packed brute who seeks to create a gang of his own called the Rooks in order to take down Starrick's band of brutes called the Blighters! While Evie wishes to find the Piece of Eden and keep it away from Templar hands!

How hard can that be right? Well, be my guest then :P

GAMEPLAY:

Assassin's Creed Syndicate's gameplay takes the level of smoothness that Assassin's Creed Unity offered to a whole new level. The parkour is smoother and the combat system is Amazing! Melee combat has been inherited from the brutal side of Boxing and Street fighting! Makes you want to just throw away your knives and punch your way through the horde of Brutes!

There is also the introduction of the Rope Launcher! An addition to your gauntlet which allows you to scale buildings and Zipline across rooftops, thus allowing you to move through the city faster! This enables you to have lesser boring minutes of running around!

Carriages driven by horses are also featured which brings you easier of coverage across the large map! Carriages can also be used as a weapon by Ramming against or Running over enemies!
Trains and ships are also featured and to top it off, there are fights you'll have to survive on the roof of the trains and carriages! Friggin' Epic I'd say! :D

GRAPHICS:

Not only is Syndicate an immersive game in terms of its gameplay, it's graphical features have taken a noticeable step from its predecessors! Texture quality and the Character models look very well defined! And the Facial hair of Darwin..... Daymn! 

Syndicate is one of the best looking Assassin's creed games! And sitting on a vantage point and looking at the city, Keep your controller down and screenshot that baby! 

Pros and Cons:

Pros

I found Syndicate thoroughly engaging with it's World war side story and its Side missions and activities! Jacob and Evie were thoroughly entertaining with their little banters and stuff! I fell in love with Evie easily! <3

Cons

Sometimes it is really annoying when small bugs or glitches that would not go start appearing, There was a time when my game turned off just cause a carriage I parked interfered with the cut scene. Ouch! I had to start again! 

The villain is obvious and the story pans out in a way you can really predict too. The story needs to have a bit of a "Come read me again" vibe..and this one doesn't! 

Genre Rating: Action Adventure Stealth

Action Rating: 8/10

Adventure Rating: 8/10

Stealth Rating: 9/10

My overall Rating: 8.3/10

Assassin's Creed Syndicate! Go for it! These words are purely my opinion! Other people may have different opinions but these are what I thought and felt when I Played the game! Thanks :D Subscribe to my YouTube channel : Diablo Kash

Watch Dogs Review

Watch Dogs! The much awaited and extremely satisfying, for most people, Ubisoft franchise, featuring the ability to be able to hack into a large city powered by one big system, ctOS!

Hack into the shoes (Yeah, that’s right) of Aiden Pearce who fights for the sole purpose of revenge, when a job gone wrong in the past leads to the unexpected and unfortunate death of his beloved niece.  Anger drives him to team up with a few exceptional hackers who agree to help him, but on their own terms. With the help of a mobile device which grants him the frightening power to hack into the network that the city runs on, Aiden grinds his way through trust and betrayal to find those responsible for the death of his niece! Aiden is not the only one with the knowledge of invading private networks, disrupting street lights, jamming communications or even blacking out the entire power grid! Hack your way through a brilliantly paced story to uncover the truth that Aiden tries to seek out whilst keeping his family safe from harm’s way!

The game features amazing gameplay! Players can use their cell phones to hack into almost everything that is connected to the ctOS system! Hacking into a camera on a high wall gives you a wider view of your surroundings, enabling your vision to reach places that you can’t physically reach! Bust a getaway driver by using the street lights to slow him down or using a blocker to smash him to a stop or even blow up a steam pipe from under the road to take him down for good! Use jam coms to interrupt a call for backup or police, giving you just enough space to get off the radar! Trouble escaping a massive heat level and an annoying helicopter at night? Disrupt the chopper’s signals and Blackout the entire city, then escape into the darkness to never be found again! The good stuff keeps coming whilst playing the game! The story isn’t the only thing that’ll entertain you. The game features many mini games like Chess, drinking games and even 8-bit alien invasion games! The vehicles in the game feature distinct looks and handling that offers the right amount of variety for you to select from! There’s so much more! Wanna know? Better go play the game! :D

The graphics are absolutely mind blowing! There is a huge difference between current gen and next gen graphics, but that is to be expected since the current gen consoles cannot take the toll that the game forces onto it! The PC, the PS4 and the Xbox One users will experience extreme depth and brilliant color in their experience with watch dogs! Beautifully digitized and animated characters add a lot more sensation to the story! The weather cycle is phenomenal, especially when it rains! The water animation in the game is outstanding! The feeling you get when riding off into the sunset listening to the radio gives you a vibe making you forget how many hours you’ve spent on the game!

The game sports a few glitches here and there which I hope they would look into, when releasing a patch or a fix! Current gen users will not experience many features that next gen users will, but that is to be expected as Watch Dogs is a next gen game!  Other than this, to be honest, I can’t think of anything that disappointed me while playing the game! The game is brilliant and addicting in my opinion!

Genre Rating: Open world, Action-adventure, Stealth   

Open world: 9/10

Action: 9.5/10

Adventure: 9/10

Stealth: 9.5/10

MY Overall rating: 9.2/10

So to wrap it all up, Watch Dogs is one of the best games up to date and is extremely fun! Stop criminals; investigate possible future crimes and be a vigilante, or be a downhearted villain using the city to satisfy you! You choose! Watch Dogs: Everything is connected!

These are entirely my opinions about the game! Different people will have different views about the game but these are my own views and feelings that I experienced whilst playing the game!
