Ubisoft at PAX Prime 2015: 'For Honor' and 'Assassin's Creed: Syndicate' - The Workprint
I went in with low expectations for Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate because I’m still afraid it’ll be 20% female missions and 80% male missions. Sadly, I still couldn’t get any solid word about what the split would be like between Jacob and Evie Frye, but I did get a chance to play a full mission as the thief, Evie. It comes as no surprise that AC: Syndicate is a beautiful game and as much as I want to knock the location and time period in favor of something more exotic, I can’t because I love Victorian London. The missions are similar to previous Assassin’s Creed games, some involving more stealth while others encouraging the beat-em-up play style. Playing as Evie was just like playing any other assassin character. With time comes more polished controls, naturally, but minus a few exceptions, she feels just the same as any other character in the franchise. Ever wanted to play Assassin’s Creed as Spider-Man. The other addition is specific to Evie and it’s a new stealth mechanic that makes the player invisible to guards if they stand still. Source: www.theworkprint.com
