Zenith
You are never at risk of encountering anything unexpected when playing Zenith, but cutscenes are unpredictable and quite intelligently written (and even well directed at times), so they are genuinely entertaining. But the game is an action RPG by the numbers, and it gives the distinct impression that it is a vehicle...
Ultimately, Syndicate comes off as another Assassin’s Creed game with a handful of improvements. London is beautiful if a bit laborious to travel around, and the missions are repetitive, but this doesn’t make Syndicate bad by any stretch of the imagination.

How to Survive is not a bad game, but it isn’t a good one either. While it sets its sights on a survival experience and has plenty of good ideas, the implementation leaves a lot to be desired. If the controls were a little tighter, the graphics a little nicer,...
