Crook, Rogue may not have had many new mechanics, but what it did have was focus. The gameplay was solid, there were few glitches & the story was one of the best. This is why it is so good.

Rogue is also one of the reasons why I'm hoping they drop the whole online aspect for Syndicate. It's purely a distraction. And when I say whole, I really do mean everything... the multiplayer, coop, microtransactions, apps... everything. If they do this, I imagine the game will be more like the old days.

Also, if Ubi want to succeed, they really need to get rid of all the excess shit from Unity. Here's a simple list that all needs to be gone for Syndicate (I will repeat some stuff from the earlier list):

- Shit tons of chests

- Collectables

- Boring/pointless side-missions

- In-game content blocked by apps

- Microtransactions
