![]() ![]() I still remember the excitement around the first game in the series, way back in ye ol’ 2007. What’s, I guess, sad to me is that at one point Assassin’s Creed truly was novel. Even Evie, the more “practical” of the two, is full of witty one-liners, always equipped with a sigh and a snide jab when Jacob inevitably screws up. Their sibling rivalry leads to Syndicate‘s best moments, the pair leveling barbs at each other and adding some much-needed levity to the proceedings-something the self-serious Assassin’s Creed Unity was sorely missing. Jacob plays the now familiar role of “Ezio-In-A-Different-Time-Period,” wisecracking his way through situations and generally not giving half a damn about the Creed part of Assassin’s Creed, while Evie is more levelheaded and focused on the brotherhood’s teachings. If Syndicate is saved from mediocrity it’s because of the quality of its lead characters, the brother/sister Assassin duo of Jacob and Evie Frye. It’s been eight years and we’ve played this game nine times now. But it’s…well, it’s still Assassin’s Creed.
