The missions themselves aren’t bad but some are rather boring and don’t really add something to the story. It’s great to see this more streamlined version but I’m sure some of the fans will miss the exploration a bit, instead of that they’ll get a more mission based game. Instead, the DLC offers three hours of great story content for the veteran assassins. Sure, Ubisoft included some traditional kidnap or assassination missions but they’re not that important as in the main game. Unlike Syndicate or other main line installments, this DLC is very streamlined and guides you from mission to mission without too many distractions. Her missions vary from investigations to more action packed, classic Assassin’s Creed missions. Evie has some great skills all thanks to her Eagle Vision. Besides investigating, she’ll also needs to track down and kidnap certain suspects in the murder case. Investigating crime scenes is fun and feels like a new thing in this DLC. As Evie however, you’ll visit some of the same locations but need to investigate what went down.Įvie has to use her Eagle Vision a lot to find clues, leading her to answers about the truth behind the mysterious mask of the Ripper. If you control Jack the Ripper, you’ll have the more action-packed missions, forcing you to follow and take out several targets.
Both ways of striking fear are very different but both offer a lot of new options.Īlthough Evie and Jack use a similar fear technique, the gameplay is very different depending on which character you control. It’s interesting to see the difference in technique between Jack and Evie. Evie will always use her fear attacks to make sure the enemies withdraw and clear a path. As with Jack the Ripper, the new fear attacks are visually stunning and offer a welcome change to the classic Assassin move set. As Evie, you can use special fear bombs or other tools to make your enemies run away. Evie uses fear to her advantages but won’t kill the enemies. This goes paired with some great visual effect to enforce this feeling even more.Įvie on the other hand, traveled to India to master a similar but non-lethal fear technique. Jack the Ripper is on a constant homicidal run, taking down everyone who’s in his way. Too soft? Don’t worry the game features some very brutal takedowns, which will most likely send all enemies running away. You can for example scream in a horrific way to scare your enemies. Jack the Ripper has some nifty tools up his sleeve. If an enemy is scared to death, he’ll run away and leave you alone. In order to defeat a lot of enemies, you can strike fear in their hearts. Jack the Ripper is created as a masked killer that resembles Scarecrow of the Batman franchise. The key gameplay feature of the game is fear.

Chasing down Jacob with random sentences as ‘Kill him’ and ‘Leave no witnesses’ has a certain horror feeling to it and really adds to the brutal personality of the serial killer. While running around as the Ripper, you’ll see some thoughts of the killer appearing on the screen. He feels more powerful than any other character you’ve controlled before and comes paired with some cool graphical tweaks. Playing as the Ripper is surprisingly satisfying. The very first mission starts with the Ripper chasing down Jacob Frye. The developers decided to go with the brutal and horror-esque approach of the Ripper instead of keeping it a mysterious and faceless killer. It’s not really an innovating story but it mixes Jack the Ripper in the Assassin’s Creed universe. It’s no surprise that the Frye twins are tasked to bring him down. Jack the Ripper is capable of killing and disappearing like only an assassin should be possible to do. Brother and sister return to London thanks to the Ripper. London got rid of the Templars and Evie and Jacob went to India. The game is set twenty years after the story of Syndicate. Now, the Ripper enters the world of Assassin’s Creed in this first story DLC for Syndicate. The Ripper became a boogeyman, a tale parents told their children, something unreal. Police forces never found out who the mysterious killer was, and until today, he is considered as one of the sickest and most brutal serial killers of Europe. These murders were so brutal that a lot of people started to believe that Jack the Ripper was some kind of supernatural killer.
Jack the Ripper is a well-known killer who killed several women in the Whitechapel district of London.
