Assassin's Creed Syndicate begins stat-checking more player-actions than even Unity did, which for me marks the beginning of the sharp downward curve into RPG-Land and the Assassin's Creed games beginning to say "No" to player-expression and creativity in favor of hard checks against numerical values. As such, while Syndicate with Upgrades is an easier game than Unity in every way, Syndicate with No Upgrades is actually significantly harder, with the final boss outright being random; hence why I can't do him in a single-segment.
Many of the game's fundamentals and much of the "meta" is the same as Unity because the two games are very similar. If you can play Unity, you can play Syndicate, and vice versa. There's a lot of skill-transfer. Thank you for watching, or listening. I know many players put my videos in the background as "podcast-noise" while doing chores/studying etc. I hope you all enjoy.
