I'm trying to play Syndicate again to get in the mood for Origins, and I just can't. The story and characters are like the dullest things ever, the city itself is as dull as the story, the combat is incredibly boring and repetitive (both visually and mechanically), the buildings are too tall and streets too wide to parkour for very long without an extended climb and the rope launcher just makes traversal tedious by removing the parkour entirely. And I get that AC loves to have you meet famous people from the era, but having you literally run into Charles Dickens and then introduce Bell so soon like that is just lazy
I don't get what people saw in this game that made it seem like a decent improvement over Unity. Evie is the best part of the game so far, but she's barely a character
Everything about Origins seems like a breath of fresh air in comparison after playing some Syndicate. Especially the combat
I completely agree. I thought Unity was much better than Syndicate, which I couldn't even find ish.
