Rumours abound that this year won’t see a full Assassin’s Creed game in the annual tradition favoured for the past few years. Whether true or not, with the release of Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: India Ubisoft manage to keep to their annualised schedule, even if it doesn’t make waves as much as Unity or Syndicate. Continuing the three-title series, India is a side-scrolling 2.5D platformer that has echoes of Prince of Persia nestled alongside typical Assassin’s Creed staples. Having not played China or Russia, this first encounter with a different spin on the franchise was intriguing but ultimately disappointing as well.
The PS Plus Extra lineup refresh for October 2022 wasn't quite as good as it could have been for PS5 owners because of technical setbacks preventing them from accessing three of the games. They were Assassin's Creed Syndicate, Assassin's Creed Chronicles: India, and Assassin's Creed Chronicles: Russia. While Syndicate remains unplayable via the service, the 2D treks to India and Russia have now been made available on PS5 via PS Plus Extra.
They all run there's a few out there with some issues assassin's Creed syndicate is one but I also found rush of blood was unplayable.
This is a positive development. They might actually fix Syndicate so
1) it's playable and
2) the flickering won't give people epilepsy attacks
I'm pretty sure that I added Syndicate on the PS Store on the PS5 (through PS Plus Extra), not the web app.
Some unsuspecting person with epilepsy could easily suffer a seizure from trying to play this game on their subscription. Fingers crossed that they fix it.
I dont doubt the epilepsy thing one bit but I personally have never heard of it actually happening to anyone. I cant imagine what that would be like. Im told I took seizures when I was born to a year, im so glad whatever that was about didnt stick around.
India is a culturally rich and beautiful land which is a perfect setting for a video game. Here are some of the best games set in India.
Xfire writes "Worldbuilding is a crucial part of any story. It's not an easy task to create a believable setting with its own set of rules, customs, traditions and political affiliations and then weave a story into the said setting. Luckily, storytellers and video game writers don't always need to create complex settings when we've got history books as thick as Big Chungus.
Historical eras make a fabulous setting for video games. They've already got the world-building nailed, complete with their own set of rules, customs, traditions and political affiliations. Honestly, I don't think I need to justify the fact that historical eras make an amazing setting for video games. If you don't believe me, just go ahead and play the Ghost of Tsushima or any of the Assassin's Creed games."
The first crusade would be pretty sweet. I’d probably enjoy any of those on your list if they were done respectfully. Like not some dork in Portland making a Russian Revolution game.
Benin Empire, Far East, Central America. Games are pretty biased toward Europe, North America, and the Middle East. There is a very big world out there.
