Enjoying AC Syndicate and it's really way better than Unity in regard of everything from Gameplay/Story/Performance. Playing it on almost maxed out settings except shadows which really kills the frame rate and not just that it doesn't add up anything noticeable to the graphics with PCSS so I set the shadows on medium and environment detail at high as it just make the vegetation visible at far distances which isn't noticeable at all. Game performs very well at from 55 to 60fps solid with adaptive v-sync from the NVCC and disabled from in-game.
Both the Frye Twins are loveable characters and yes this time they really have come back to the roots. Map is huge filled with beautiful Victorian architecture. The have reduced the peds which is a good thing as well cut down shortcuts from building windows that I guess helped the game to improve framerate dramatically. I also noticed the characters facial features were just marvelous in Unity but here they definitely reduced some things. Buggy ride is a great addition and that rope hook to travel between large gaps comes in real handy in the world for traveling as well eliminating threats and escaping. Combat feels alive now and response of your buttons is very good.
All in all if you were disappointed like me with the Unity then Syndicate is the real deal to regain your interest in the series and Ubisuckoft finally have learned them lessons a bit and provided a overall better game unlike Unity.
I just got this game. It is really fun and looks great. This is my first time playing the series.
