10 Severely Underrated PS4 Games That Deserve A Second Chance

3. Assassin's Creed Syndicate

Assassin's Creed Syndicate is just about the best AC game everyone seemed to miss, and it's all thanks to the fallout surrounding Unity.

Unity, which was Ubisoft's first current gen Creed title, was panned for numerous reasons, not least because the launch edition was a buggy, unplayable mess. That reputation unfortunately carried over for Syndicate, which released just a year after Ubi buggishly broached the French Revolution during a period in which annualisation was coming under heavy scrutiny.

The fact that it innovated in a great many areas didn't seem to matter, and neither did its fantastic recreation of Victorian London - franchise fatigue had set in, and Syndicate, unfortunately, was its first victim.

Releasing in 2015, Syndicate told the story of Jacob and Evie Frye as they navigated Templar-controlled London during the closing decade of the nineteenth century. It was a fantastic exploration of the city, and with players being able to switch between Jacob and Evie at the flick of a switch, each boasting distinct play-styles, the title provided the rejuvenating kick the franchise sorely needed - two years before Origins released.
