Assassin’s Creed Unity vs Syndicate [Which Is Better?]

[@origross8956]

In my opinion, Syndicate's side content and world exploration are better because I feel the game encourge you to explore London through "conquer areas". I also think that Paris Stories and the Helix Rifts aren't that interesting compare to Syndicate's side quests. And there are also a lot of unmapped collectibles in Unity. I strongly disagree that Unity's story is bad, I think it is a good story: Arno is framed for murder, Arno is joining the brotherhood, Bellec's betreyal, Arno is banished from the brotherhood, and there are also a lot of historical events like the storming of the Bastille, execution of Louis XVI, reign of terror and more. Syndicate's story was standard: hunting templars and an artifact without major plot twists, emotional death scenes or historical events.

[@silveraustinluna]

I really despise the Helix missions. Especially since that's how you would obtain Altair's outfit. Getting his armor in Assassin's Creed 2 is more simple than getting his outfit in Assassin's Creed Unity and that's saying something because I really despise the final tomb.

Bro syndicate literally has less content especially side content and Missions and to me the story is the worst in the franchise It's full of absolutely horrendous dialogue and jokes and a cartoon vilian with a lame ass Boss fight at the end Every minute there's something to do in unity Or something around the corner Syndicate gets boring as hell after having completed the game The only Things left to do is small boring missions like sabotaging a boat like wtf And there's barely any enemies anymore And this is coming from someone who 100 percent completed the game

[@Saki-Malo]

I like Arno his characterization makes sense, joining the brotherhood out of a sense of revenge, as well as losing his father, his adopted father, Bellec, and finally the love of his life, that much loss and pain at such a young age would definitely make a man depressed and reserved

[@kayeff7155]

I absolutely think unity is a million times better. I had high hopes for syndicate but only felt disappointed. The gameplay was repetitive, the city of London was repetitive (the same graphics used over and over) and it had zero atmosphere. It felt like a toy town rather than a real place. I liked Evie and Jacob but they weren't enough to rescue the game.

I had a friend who loved Assassin Creed as much as I did and we would play the games together. Switching on missions in the game. With Syndicate. I would play all of Jacob’s missions and he would play Evie’s mission. I felt like Jacob was more of a up in your face gameplay with his style of fighting which I liked doing more. My friend though was very good at stealth and less fighting combat . That was fun for is. He got to play stealth missions while I did the more heavy combat missions.

[@VonEv1l]

Personally, I think Syndicate is miles above Unity. I feel like everything's underrated. I love the cane-sword and the combat isn't immersive or realistic but its engaging and fun for me. I love the fight clubs, hijacks, templar hunts, the train heists and more. This game by far has the best side content in the franchise and I feel the levelling system is genuinely perfect, as everything has an immediate effect, from you're rooks now having more carriages, to more effective eagle vision. Most upgrades were though out well. The rooks are also underrated, as its amazing to recruit 5 rooks, walk up to random blighters on the streets and demolishing them. The train hideout is cool and even really useful as I would see a mission in some random place and dread to spend 10 minutes ziplining there, when the train suddenly appears on the map right over the objective. I love the characters, I don't find Jacob's humour dry or weird, I just find his presence fun, maybe because I'm English. I liked the story. I'm usually there just for gameplay but I found it interesting how Jacob will manage to almost collapse an empire multiple times on end, while also joking with his sister. I feel like Unity has now become way overrated. Arno is boring and annoying, Paris is repetitive, the black box missions are nowhere near as developed and I would actually prefer Syndicate combat. EDIT playing it more, I've remembered one aspect that can die in hell. The carriage racing. The definition of unfair. Those NPC bastards will get a speed boost if you do well, and they'll get in your way and ram you into walls. The only bad one is the lap race, which is weird when I don't have a problem with A to B races. Syndicate is also just not buggy. The worst bug I probably experienced in the game is when I didn't drop into a haybale from a zipline but instead dropped to a higher ledge which makes more sense to land on. Whereas Unity will not pass this one cutscene without crashing. Basically, at least syndicate is playable. Unity is innovative but hasn't developed it's innovations. The parkour is hands down the best looking system but one of the worst controlling. Unity has more customisation but most pairings are either locked behind a co-op mission or look horrendous. Its story is somewhat different but its not good. Its stealth is so much worse than syndicate, simply because it doesn't have carry body or whistle. The Unity protagonist is annoying and a simp. Its side missions don't spice up the gameplay. You can't distinguish it's main missions from each other. The modern day is the worst it's ever been. You can't start another save unless you go into the game files. It's worse

Starrick’s complacency could well come from the fact he’s not used to Assassin conflict. Templars have held London for a hundred years with the Assassins failing to make any headway in changing this fact, and Starrick would have inherited the position from a predecessor. He’s ruled without challenge too long to have any contingencies, and the Frye twins undermine his power base (taking over the boroughs by overthrowing the Blighters as well as killing those in charge of social infrastructure and the investigation into the Shroud) in too short a time and too effective a manner for him to counter this. He could afford to be aloof before, and doesn’t know how to react when he faces Assassin adversity.

Modern day definitely goes to Syndicate. Yes, it’s a series of cutscenes but there’s actual progression with familiar characters and it’s using Helix to find where the Shroud is in the present day. The Phoenix Project storyline gets developed and while it’s not completed in the games, that’s not a problem with Syndicate itself.

[@carrioncrow7687]

I like both games, but I do fully agree with you that Unity has best customization out of all the Assassin's Creed games

[@jbcatz5]

You can see Jacob’s more extroverted manner as him finally cutting loose having been constrained by the Brotherhood, such as seen in the beginning with George Westhouse. The tie-in novel Underworld as well as conversations in the game show Ethan wasn’t the most present father to the twins (he needed to spend time around a young Henry to learn not to hold his wife’s death by childbirth against his children) or one Jacob was most fond of, Evie realising that bringing up their father when chastising Jacob was the wrong move.

AC unity's customization is overrated because the best armor usually looks terrible like the sans-culotte set which has the best stealth stats makes you look like a clown so most people use the best armor while wearing a outfit instead and the weapon customization is also overrated since AC 3 and AC 2 had the same amount of weapon types

[@cosmic2750]

Imo I disagree with your analysis of Unity’s story, but that may come down to personal preference. I like villains that are not actually villains, only antagonists. All throughout the series fans have agreed that Assassins aren’t the “good guys”, they’re just the faction we’re following the story of. AC3 also directly implies that with the conflict between Connor and Haytham. Unity’s main antagonist does it beautifully where he’s not a stereotypical villain. He’s not villainous and doesn’t wanna commit mass genocide, he just wants to bring to fruition an idea of a world that’s ideal in his mind. And in that regard I think he’s a great antagonist. Maybe not a great villain, but a great antagonist. And an antagonist doesn’t always need to be villainous.

The mix of classical and synth is done so tastefully and deserves it's praise in my opinion. It really adds onto the already incredible atmosphere and really allows the player to immerse themselves in that historical world backed by a modern day twist (because of the animus and modern day storyline). The animus aspect of Assassin's Creed has always kept things interesting in my opinion.

Someone might die! Something can go wrong!" And well... We all know what happened in the ending... So there's that. Meanwhile In Syndicate... Nothing really weighs as much, I think I'd have preferred if someone like... Maybe Green? Or... Well one of the twins had died throughout the game to add weight to it. Otherwise it's just... They beat the templars and it's that, you know? I guess it doesn't weight the same. My opinion though.

I like Syndicate more, because parkour is easier, upgrade points are not related so much to additional missions (in Unity you are forced to do them if you want to get skill points), there are fewer side missions but they are more interesting, enemies can either be intimidated by appropriate gang upgrade, or the length of searching for them is not as long as in Unity.

I played both Unity and Syndicate, I played syndicate a second time recently and let me tell you something Unity is still better.

I think there’s a lot of bias in this comparison

[@zacharyfayant5717]

For me unity is a better game, I prefer the gameplay a lot more than syndicate, the setting of Paris just has such a good atmosphere when walking through the city, the parkour was very good, the story was ok but does lack fluidity and Elise was wasted potential for a good love story that should have developed more like Ezio and Christina was developed with side missions, and the combat is just better than syndicate naturally because the game failed in changing it. Whenever I play syndicate I just feel like Jacob and Evie are a bit out of place having a lot of humor (mostly from Jacob) in what was a depressing time for England, the parkour also just isn't ever needed from the grappling hook and I just feel like their original idea to follow a completely different character (I think it was Thomas Fay or someone similar) and have a darker tone to the character would feel more fitting and it's probably why I enjoy the Jack The Ripper dlc more since it uses these elements of the setting better than the base story. Both games have their pros and cons but I just enjoyed unity more and idk why they never tried that kind of multiplayer again because it was a good idea just ubisoft failed in executing it. Being able to be up to 4 assassins running around revolutionary Paris was an awesome experience when it did work and if the games do go back to the city settings and classic systems then I don't see why they couldn't try a multiplayer again

Syndicate hands down. Unity was unplayable. The stealth was garbage, the combat was awful, and the story was really hard to get through. The parkour and city were amazing and I liked Arno and Elise, but syndicate is a definitive and massive improvement in almost all places. The stealth and combat feel fun, the setting is perfect, and customization and side missions feel so fleshed out. Unity’s france was an ambitious mess but London was a contained but incredibly lived in and immersive experience. It’s one of the few games I boot up just to run around Westminster and grapple around the city. The music for both games were beautiful but syndicate took it a step further.

Hey now don't judge Ano so harshly. I mean she is a ginger after all no mortal man can resist them:or so I am told. I totally haven't fallen and trust her. I am not totally in love with ginger women in real life. Shut up stop judging me.

[@balaklavaboi7261]

revelations had the best parkour imo. Hookblade goated

[@AgentN-s5u]

He already said that in his parkour video

[@NHunterSlayer]

assassin's creed 2 vs assassin's creed brotherhood

[@stupidswagsmirks]

There is 1 route every Unity mission that only requires three kills max. It makes the game too easy if you’re patient. Also hate holding L2 constantly😂

[@linlin_50]

I know everyone praises system of Unity, but I just have more fun playing Syndicate.

[@madmannn9576]

giving Unity the W on gameplay is insane. Unitys gameplay is clunky as fuck. it feels like im fighting my controller

[@Matysek-sh5wk]

For me fundamentals of Unity, and why its so good, is feel of combat and parkour, and this two things basicaly it is not in Syndicate, according to this video. And most of people in comments still prefers Syndicate... like wtf? I did not play Syndicate, only Unity and I prefer to stay that way.

[@blackblue2244]

Both Unity and Syndicate are good. Syndicate is slightly better because it came after Unity

[@smashdexer]

One is the peak of Assassin’s Creed apart from story, the other had the worst protagonists in the series so far, killed parkour and killed the og formula. I wonder which one is better? 😂😂😂

[@Snake0901]

In my opinion: Best parkour and side content - Syndicate. Literally everything else - Unity

[@Monkeyamingus777]

Syndicate literally has less side content And to be quiet frankly boring ASF You literally have to buy a dlc just so you could play more side content which should already be in the standard game

[@Pink_error]

In my opinion both villains are bad but I will go with unity because I love every thing about it

[@ac_nerd9794]

I will take Syndicate over Unity. I like the characters more and the two protagonists are much better than Arno. Had a much more enjoyable time with Jacob. I also don't agree with Unity having the best customization. Odyssey is much berter.

[@imreallybadatgamesonps4]

I swear, since Arno and and ezio are pretty much the same before they become assassins. I thought for a while that the gang fight at the beginning of II was from unity😂

[@winkingskeever2414]

Everyone says Unity Parkour is better, it is because it is not realistic. He is freaking jumping like Spiderman, falling from 4th floor and 0 damage. Ofcourse from Gameplay, It looks fun but it downgrades the realism. Syndicate's parkour is not 100% realistic but its close to realism. Also the population of Paris makes it uncomfortable to walk freely, not to mention Syndicate has carriages which we can ride. Makes little bit fun. Combat of Unity is little bit Tactical unlike Syndicate. Gameplay wise both are fun, its just what is your perspective.

[@andre.neomotion]

Dude I almost had a stroke reading that comment... You mock Unity's lack if realism and then praise Syndicate?? With the batman grapple hook? Pffff okay

[@edwardkenway4360]

For me it's syndicate, Parkour is only good thing about unity. Unity is overrated

[@johnbill773]

Can anyone help me with ac unity online? Im trying to get the platinum and im 3 trophies awayz just the 2 online trophies and the heists. Itll mean the world to me

[@yougo4975]

Wait, what happened to the assassin's creed nexus video?

[@TheHiddenOne690]

The code they gave me doesn't even work. I contacted them and they haven't got back to me

[@yougo4975]

@@TheHiddenOne690RIP I suppose...

[@AlexanderT420]

I feel like some would be offended by this. But. Jacob represents the majority of players a lot better than most of the other characters. "Come on. Who cares about all of this talking and the stupid artifact. I just want to kill my targets."

[@BOOMER_541x]

I don't know but Unity for me seems more fun

[@Mouchoo]

*i wish we get another Unity tbh*

[@Mouchoo]

but personal favorite between these two is Syndicate for sure roaming around Paris was awesome roaming around in London was "timeless" one of the few games i've touched where you can plan to play for 1-2 hours just to than realizes after some time it's been 5-6 hours already lol i won't say it's impossible to get bored playing it but to me it was at least ^^

[@Ayaki6166]

Game play is Syndicate is better than Unity. I like Paris , Versailles and London map.

[@finnH_nf]

Why werent we able to play Henry Green in Syndicate? He was the most likeable character in the game. imo
