Let me take you back to when I first bought “Assassin’s Creed Syndicate.” It was during the 2016 Cyber Monday sale on Amazon. A very cheap buy, maybe like thirteen bucks for the physical copy, I was stoked! Threw the disk into the PS4 and instantly got overwhelmed by the sheer number of objectives, collectables and characters the game offers! I put “ACS” away for almost a year, felt an urge to break it out a month ago and haven’t stopped playing since.
The Break Through
Here’s how I I coped with the AAA titles’s incredible amount of content. Liberating Victorian era London from the Blighter gang’s control is super satisfying and an easy way to narrow the scope of the game. This method allowed me to get comfortable with all the other dimensions of “ACS” too like crafting gear and collecting items.
Being OP Is Underrated
Early into the game, I found myself playing a reoccurring sidequest which consisted of stealing the Blighter’s cargo from carts and boats a lot. These missions are fun AF–and little-by-little my money and XP went through the roof. I was able to buy all the gang upgrades then use my XP to nearly max out my character’s skill tree. So now, I feel like a damn God in the game. Sneaking around is quick and exciting. Fighting enemies alongside my gang is a breeze but brutal and super satisfying. This does make catching up on the main missions really easy but that’s fine. After all, being OP fits a seriously lethal assassin.
Will I Keep Playing?
Yes! I’m 50% done with the whole sequence and I’m not burnt out yet. Lets go!
