Assassin's Creed: Syndicate vs Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires
Assassin's Creed: Syndicate
Assassin's Creed: Syndicate gives you two main characters to play through, twins called Jacob and Evie Fry who are raised to the Creed but see it almost eradicated at the end of the Victorian Era. They journey to London where they infiltrate the criminal underworld and start to fight against the Templars.With it’s first major female lead character this game finally bridges the gap, and it gives you 2 unique playstyles to enjoy as each character has its own way of taking out their enemies. Set at the end of the industrial revolution you are in a vastly different and evolving London and it is a lot of fun to roam around. Though this version has no multiplayer it is still a great story to involve yourself in and play. With a lot of fun side missions alongside the main story you get a lot to do in this game and of course, there is the continuing saga in the modern real world for you to grab hold of too.
Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires
Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires is another Empires spin-off from the main Dynasty Warriors franchise. It combines the repetitive hack and slash that the series is so famous for with a more strategic, Risk-like gameplay where you'll not only need to get your hands dirty in actual combat, but also make important military decisions based on your role as a leader of an army.However, many players have said that this game is definitely a step down from the 7th installment. Not to mention, like Dynasty Warriors 8, this PC port is plagued with the same control issues if you use the mouse and keyboard combo, but the problems go away once you switched over to using a controller. So, if you plan on buying this game, make sure you have a controller ready.
That being said, Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires is definitely the sort of game that caters to fans of the game series and may also appeal to some fans of strategy games, but as mentioned, despite being the newest, it's certainly not the best game in the spin-off series - it is merely a somewhat decent one.
