Assassin’s Creed Syndicate: Evie Deserved To Be The Main Character

While Assassin'sCreed Syndicate was a great installment in the franchise, its story would have been even better had it focused on Evie Frye as the sole playable protagonist. The last game to feature the series' traditional formula before AC Origins changed it, Assassin's Creed Syndicatefollows the story of assassins Evie & Jacob Frye. While the game was interesting following a dual protagonist narrative, Evie Frye should have been the main playable protagonist as she was the more responsible of the twins. Jacob had some great moments in Syndicate, however, he was fairly one-dimensional and it did not seem like he truly cared about the Assassin Code. Evie, on the other hand, proved her dedication to the Assassin Brotherhood time and time again throughout Syndicate's story and Jack the Ripper DLC.

The Assassin's Creed series has seen a lot of change over the years, with it undergoing a drastic revamp following the negative response to Assassin's Creed Unity in 2014. This came in the form of Assassin's Creed Origins, which introduced more RPG elements to the series and moved away from its previous stealth-action approach. The last game to adopt the latter focus was Syndicate, which focused on the conflict between the Assassins and Templars in late Victorian London. It's a relatively overlooked entry in the series, and its protagonist, Evie Frye, is one of the main reasons it's worth playing.
