Assassin’s Creed Syndicate

Set in London in the year 1868, Assassin's Creed Syndicate follows Jacob and Evie Frye, twin Assassins who travel to London with the purpose of helping the struggling Brotherhood presence there. Recently, the Templar Order has more or less eradicated the Assassins in London, establishing dominance over the city. Templar Grand Master Crawford Starrick, a powerful businessman who also controls the criminal underworld, has plans to extend his control outward to all of Britain and, eventually the entire world. In order to stop him, the Frye twins infiltrate London, forming a gang to rival Starrick, assassinating key Templars, and acquiring the mysterious and powerful artifacts known as Pieces of Eden.

The game autosaves pretty regularly.

The game does a decent job of introducing players to the mechanics through tutorials.

• Who did you prefer playing as, Jacob or Evie? Why?
• Did you like the secondary, present-day storyline? Did it seem like a necessary part of the game, or just a frame to setup up the historical aspect of Syndicate?
