Destroy the City on a Horse
Okay, so we just said that the city and characters are beautiful and need to be captured in pictures, but destruction also has this sort of eclectic beauty of its own. This is doubly true when the destruction is caused by nothing more than a single horse and a small wooden carriage. Assassin’s Creed Syndicate allows players to do combat with this mode of transportation with enemies using the same. This gives you the options for speed boosts, ramming, and drifting. In order to make it worthwhile, it seems as if the developers may have given our hoofed friends a bit more power then they would normally have.
Players can smash through crowds, market stands, small carts, large carts, carriages, some walls, and even those metal lamp posts scattered around London. Heck, if you destroy enough things in a short period of time, you even earn experience and a perk later on down the line that lets you destroy some more. Watching the crowds panic and disperse, hearing the pitch of police whistles as they urge you to stop, and ducking bullets from your enemies provides a thrill that is hard to match in other entries of the series. It’s just you and your animal, hand in hand, destroying the very city you’re trying to save. Nothing has ever been more fun.
