    Some cool new features and some not so cool features.
    Jack the ripper is a DLC with 10 main missions and a bunch of side activities.
    Much like the main game, in Jack the ripper you play as 2 characters,
    This time as a much older Evie fry and jack the ripper himself
    The introduction to this dlc is great and sets up a great tone for a letdown of an experience.
    You start out the DLC as jack the ripper just destroying everything in your path
    This honestly should have been the the dlc.. playing the whole way through as jack the ripper
    Put a primary focus on a fun and epic brute campaign… but this sadly isn’t what we got.
    This dlc introduces a fear system, both Evie and jack have spikes and fear bombs that can scare enemies to make them nervous to not bother you or to occasionally kill each other…
    Jack the ripper has a scream... this fear system comes in handy many times thanks to the boring don’t kill anyone or get detected optional objectives.
    At first they are cool, but this gimmick gets old quick.
    You play back and forth between jack and Evie,
    No one knows who this jack the ripper guy is, but everyone is pointing at Jacob and Evie, so she sets out to solve this mystery and clear her names…
    This dlc is more of the same you get in the main campaign, just not as fleshed out.
    You get a couple assassination missions and everything else is look at clues, or do this without being detected.
    You’ll go to a couple new locations not in the main game, but by locations I mean buildings, not towns or cities.
    This game only takes place in 2 sections of the original gam, which brings me to the not so cool added feature... lag
    IF you’re on foot the whole time you have nothing to worry about, but do any of the side missions involving a cart and you’ll notice an insane lag that makes ps2 era games look like they run like ps4 games, and texture pop in problems.
    Not quite sure how a smaller standalone has issues keeping up compared to the much larger main game.
    Also added are new quests such as lieutenant hunts that are essentially Templar hunts with more targets, fight clubs and cargo based missions again, jack the ripper letters where you have to drive a carriage stealfully.,. And the game still can’t keep up... as well as brothel aka liberation missions with half naked women instead of children, and walk of shame missions where you have to shame a man that gets his jollies out of being abusive to prostitutes
    That’s basically it, you get a story with no pay off, and slow paced boring side activities.
    There’s just nothing worth seeing in this Jack the Ripper DLC…

In general the plot is a little contradictory and simple, it consists of 10 main tasks and a set of the additional repeating quests. 2 characters - Ivie and Jack. At what the gameplay not especially differs, receptions and tactics at heroes same. Some missions are executed in the form of detective investigation, as in The Vanishing of Ethan Carter. The ending in general ridiculous and silly, develops feeling that Ubisoft has a creative impotence, or the child scripts.… Full Review »

    "Jack The Ripper" is a remarkable DLC, providing a gripping continuation to the Assassin's Creed: Syndicate story. Initially, I had"Jack The Ripper" is a remarkable DLC, providing a gripping continuation to the Assassin's Creed: Syndicate story. Initially, I had reservations about the "fear" mechanic and how Evie employs it, but as the DLC progressed, I grew to appreciate and embrace its significance.

    The gameplay remains exceptional, but with a darker undertone owing to the story and the introduction of the "fear" feature. However, I found it peculiar that Evie starts the DLC without all her gear, weapons, and skills unlocked from the base game. While it makes sense to reset the weapons and gear, I would have preferred if the skills remained consistent. Furthermore, there seemed to be an excess of activities and collectibles for the length of the DLC story, and I also amassed a surplus of money with little to spend it on.

    Despite these minor flaws, "Jack The Ripper" captivated me. The story is engrossing, and the ambiance and style diverge into a darker territory, distinct from what we experienced in Assassin's Creed: Syndicate. It was a pleasure to see Evie as the main character, as she exudes strength and charisma, making her a superior protagonist compared to her brother.

    In conclusion, "Jack The Ripper" is an outstanding DLC that seamlessly extends the Assassin's Creed: Syndicate narrative. The addition of the "fear" mechanic adds depth to the gameplay, while the darker tone of the story and setting creates a refreshing and engaging experience. The DLC excels in delivering a compelling story with a formidable main character in Evie. If you are a fan of Syndicate, this DLC is a must-play for its immersive and thrilling gameplay.    … Full Review »
