    For me, the worst of the Assassins Creed games, I have played. Poorly optimised, buggy, to an extent that I found it largely unplayable. The complete opposite of Unity which which I found mostly well optimised and reasonably playable. Can't believe they came out in the same year!

    Assassin's Creed: Syndicate is the ninth installment in the popular stealth action adventure series Assassin's Creed. Given that prior to this game, there were already eight major episodes in the AC series and the settings of Victorian London had indeed intrigued me, I was quite confident about what to expect from this game.

Given that prior to this game, there were already eight major episodes in the AC series and the settings of Victorian London had indeed intrigued me, I was quite confident about what to expect from this game. But from the very start of the game I have been confronted with some changes that I could not have anticipated. But more about that later. As always I want to start on a positive note. One thing that did not surprise me was the quality of the infrastructure of London. The attention for detail is very good, and while it is not entirely historically accurate, it is quite close. I came to expect nothing less from an AC game and I was not let down in this regard. Also the controls seemed a little better, little less console like, with nice touches, like a designated button to enter a window. Sadly this is about it as far as my positives go. The first big change is that this time you play as two characters, assassin siblings. It was an interesting choice, I even somewhat liked it, but it had a couple of flaws in my eyes. First of all, the relationship between the two siblings is not very well written and feels a bit awkward and forced. Second flaw is that while it was suggested that the two characters have a different approach to carrying out their missions, in the end (specially when fully talented) they actually feel pretty much the same and switching between them is pretty much down to your personal preference. The second big change concerns the combat. Not the combat system as such, but rather the feel of the combat. Instead of the somewhat slow paced sword fighting combat of the previous installments, we have this very fast paced knife stabbing frenzy. It looks almost ridiculous, stabbing an already dead man over and over like a maniac. And speaking of knifes, there are no knifes in fact, just these ridiculous curved kukri, cane swords and brass knuckles. All these changes were very obviously done just for the sake of change, which is something that rarely works. A new addition to the series, horse drawn carriages, look pretty cool, but the driving is awfully arcade. AC games never were, not were meant to be, really challenging for experienced PC gamers. But this time, the difficulty is lowered by another level or two and frankly the game is just too easy. The legendary useless Ubisoft collectables are maybe a little bit more entertaining this time (beer bottles, pressed flowers). Microtransactions are back and more disgusting than ever before. I am already used to seeing all these short overpriced story DLCs and ridiculous 10 bucks horse armor kind of deals, but this time that is not all. We have the in-game Helix points currency, which can be purchased for real life dollars and is used to buy, among other things, talents. This is the cancer of gaming. And finally what can I say about the SJW in this game? It is ever-present. This time they updated their SJW loading screen, which says that "this game was designed, developed and produced by a multicultural team of various beliefs, sexual orientations and gender identities". At it shows! We have female gangsters, a little girl who runs a gang, the Ned Wynert character (WTF is that), we are helping poor Indian nobles to defeat the bad, bad imperialist, the in-game database is clearly written by a progressive proletarian, in a main quest we can see a wealthy businessman kick a beggar just because, we have an entire side quest chain dedicated to helping Karl Marx, who is portrayed as strictly non-violent caring humanitarian, the character of Queen Victoria is an outright mockery and on top of all that you get the end-game kiss. It was totally immersion breaking for me.

    Assassin's Creed: Syndicate brings many changes to the series, most of which were not needed at all and at the same time, the aspects of the game that needed an overhaul the most, like the stale predictable story and repetitive gameplay were left mostly untouched. Final Verdict: 42%    … Expand

    Wow. Such arrogances really disgust me. You start the game without giving any chance to let players adjust the setting? Do you really think there is only one language exists in this world or do you expect all the world know how to speak English? You just force me to watch a ton of **** that I don't understand and I can't even skip them. 我就用中文評論來噁心你，看你爽不爽

    I've played every AC before this one and I can say that this wasn't a pleasurable experience at all. The game is full of bugs, glitches and other stuff that prevents you from having fun. For example: there are tons of 1 metre high fences around London that you cannot jump over, because they are bugged and the only way to get over them is to get on the closest wall and climb around it.

For example: there are tons of 1 metre high fences around London that you cannot jump over, because they are bugged and the only way to get over them is to get on the closest wall and climb around it. No wonder why they've added a grappling hook, without it, the game would be unplayable. I had to load a saved checkpoint more than 10 times because something broke and I couldn't finish the mission. Game difficulty is waaay too easy. You can basically finish last missions at the end of every sequence just by going in, without doing any helpful stuff that's not necessary, and easily press mouse 1 to assassinate who you have to assassinate. After that, you just have to run on a building and use a hook. 10 seconds run and you've just lost chasing guards. I remember playing previous AC games where I couldn't even climb on a building because they were throwing rocks or shooting at me, which resulted in falling down and losing 3/4 of hp bar. Health potions could also be non existent because I've used them like 3 times during the whole game as you don't have to take fights at all, you can just run. I wanted to come back to AC series after a "divorce" in 2016, but this games successfully made me not want to play Origins and newer titles. Story is very boring and predictable. After sequence 5-6 i was just skipping dialogues because I didn't care about these boring characters. Quiet sad that AC series ended like that. It was one of my favourite ones when I was younger, but now It's a total trash. If you like buggy mess and didn't play previous AC games you might be happy, I'm definitely not.… Expand

    I encountered more bugs in this game than in AC unity. The control is janky as always. The AIs are stupid af. The quests are boring. I can't believe there is a scripted chase scene that could last a minute. And those carriage races! The only great thing about these wagons is they, together with the hook gun thing, help me traverse through the city more quickly to waste less time.

    the bat-grappling hook is a great addition that I hope does not banish forever like the bombs in assassin's creed revelations. the only interesting thing you can do is collecting the glitches to unlock abstergo files. this is    just like unity. there is a lot to do and explore, but we do not do anything outside the animus. we see almost nothing of what is happening in the present.

How did the AC series fall from its high of Black Flag to Unity and then Syndicate? And now to Origins and Odyssey. The series is dead. Whoever has been writing AC scripts and dialog for Ubisoft since after Black Flag is a talentless hack. And these games clearly have not had good direction, either. They've become soulless and moronic husks, undeservedly bearing the AC name.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I simply can not understand how some people can give Unity an abyssmal rating and rate this game with a high score.
    Yes, Unity had a bad launch and it needs a decent PC, but when I started playing it (mid last year), it worked amazingly well, and I experienced a grand total of two (!) bugs in that game.

    Now, behold Syndicate. I can not even begin to describe how much this one disappointed me, and how much it is NOT fun to play. Let's go through the bad parts, k?

    - Horribly cliche and uninteresting characters. The same tired old siblings conflict, one being the chaotic guy, the other the more moralistic and straight one. Jacob is a bad attempt at combining Hugh Jackman in the Holmes-movies and Johnny Depp - detached, overconfident, a bit goofy, wisecraking, not fazed by anything. Dull, same as his conflict with Evie, which is just cliche after cliche (not to mention that the fact their FATHER IS DEAD" is mentioned about 8 billion times, lest you forget.

    - Bugs. OMG the bugs. Getting stuck, crashes, stuff like: Am supposed to kidnap a guy and chase him in his carriage. I destroy his carriage, he gets flung out and lands on the roof of a cabin about 7 feet off the ground. I climb up, pick up his corpse, and...can't walk or jump off the roof, or drop his body off the roof. Suddenly, I am 600 feet in the air, falling to the ground, without dieing, but have to replay the whole mission.
    Or... if you fight on a slanted roof, the thugs can't hit you. So you can simply take them out without ever being hit.

    - The combat is where this game totally sucks. Totally. This is the WORST combat in any of the AC games, and I have finished them all. Spammy, beating guys with a stick over and over and over (yeah, how realistic). Suddenly, they hit you back with NO chance to block. So no matter how well you play and fight, they lash out and you get hurt. Fighting more than 2 enemies max at one time- forget it, you are dead. See, I love AC, I have beaten them all, and even though most AC games didn't have perfect combat, eventually you could master it and beat even larger groups of enemies. Here? Forget about it.
    On top of it, at first you can only possess 2 health potions. Good luck with groups. Most frustrating, dull, repetitive, unimaginative combat I ever saw in an AC game. Horrible.

    - Parcour. It sucks. It's slow. They took some things from Unity (climb up and down with two different buttons), but it feels liek it takes forever to cross small distances. You get stuck a lot too, and it almost feels as random as in "I didnt mean to DO that!" as some of the earliest ACs. Rogue, Unity, they did this so much better.
    The rope-gun might sound fun on paper, but its not dynamic at all, feels slow and clunky, and doesn't fit the period the game is set in.

    - Hardly any atmosphere. Everything looks bland, and there is no vibe to the city at all. Yeah, you will see the famous sights of London, but apart from, say, Big Ben and Buckingham Palace, it's just dull. Unity had so much atmosphere, with huge amounts of NPCs on the street and this sinister, mysterious vibe to Paris. Here? Dull.

    - The story is so uninteresting, it's hard to believe.

    - Even though it's not as bad as in Unity, there is the same old Ubisoft-stuff with the map.. unlock an area, and there you go, 800 side activities no one cares about. Pick up pressed flowers, visit famous places, pick up some helix items. Yawn. Unity had too much of that, I admit, but even here, it's way too much.

    - There are like 4 different kind of enemy thugs. And it's so obvious. It's like your enemies have a factory where they cloned 4 guys. It's totally immersion-killing, unimaginative and tiring.

    - The new level system sucks, same as the skill trees. And yay, we can upgrade our gang members! /sarcasm. I find this so disappointing... it was fun to hire assassins in Brotherhood and Revelations, calling them into combat, and they'd appear, fight and disappear like assassins. Here, you hire some brainless thugs to fight for you. If this is supposed to be innovative, I'll pass.

    - The music is terribly uninteresting and not memorable at all.

    - The train HQ adds NOTHING

    What ruins the game most to me is
    a) The horrible spammy combat. It never is fun, where you feel great because you take out a whole group of mobs if you play well. It's frustrating, often unfair and totally un-assassin-like IMO. You level p and earn skills, yet you never feel stronger or more powerful. I am not talking about god-mode or something, I just loved how in older AC games, you'd get more skills and get stronger, while here, it stays frustrating.
    b) The horrible characters and story. Jacob is a cliche goofy jerk, and I find him MUCH less interesting than even the more critizised characters such as Arno or Connor.

    It's good they are taking a break with the franchise, and hope they bring it back with something fresh and imaginative. This is just phoned in repetive junk, sorry    … Expand

    A completely frustrating experience. I've played every AC game and this is the worst edition of them all. The game constantly freezes and plays like crap compared to every other game I play on my system. The game is totally unoptimized for the PC. Add to that the lame, disjointed story and the ridiculously repetitive side missions and you would be wise to skip this embarrassment of a game.

    La historia no me llama nada, y han elegido una época muy ..... para hacer un Assassin's Creed.
    En este Assassin's Creed no existe ninguna necesidad de escalar por los edificios para ir a ninguna parte, ya que si te quieres desplazar puedes ir en el tren o en un maravilloso carruaje que, además, no puedes conducir por la derecha porque estás en Londres jejj. Además que el juego no está hecho para ir entre edificios, ya que hay una distancia de 46 millas entre edificio y edificio.
    Además no entiendo que tiene que ver el credo con peleas callejeras entre bandas. Esto es un Assassin's Creed, no es The Warriors.
    En fin, repetitivo, más aburrido que irte a una casa de campo donde no hay internet y apenas tienes señal, y además muy simple.
    Si quieres jugar a un Assassin's Creed recomiendo el 2 y la Hermandad, que son muy buenos y MIS favoritos. (El 1 también me gustó más que nada por la ubicación y la época aunque era bastante repetitivo) Un saludo.    … Expand

    There is also no possibility to switch the side, where you are hanging. if you climb to left or right, if there is a obstacle in your way, you could easily skip it, going further left. Now there is no possibility to do that. you need to climb up on the obstacle, then climb down on other side down. I made 500 times wrong jumps, before i hadn't any problem. in no game i had such problems with wrong jumps.

Some **** cutscene's that try to make you care, a story about stopping such and such from doing such and such. It's a joke. The entire Assassins creed series has been about taking money off suckers, not making good games, something I realized about after my millionth bloody hour of climbing walls and stabbing people.
    Who's doing what this time? Who cares? It's like ad-libs, change the names, the places, the time period, and feed us back the exact same game they've given us what, nearly a dozen times already.
    To boot, this game lacks even the tantalizing qualities that made me even somewhat interested in Black Flag, it looks like crap, it runs like crap, it's crap
    As a person who plays every released title, this deserves to be singled out for one of the worst in 2015.

    For all that I'm down on Assassin's Creed as a whole, Syndicate is at least one of the better entries in the series. And there is admittedly a certain charm to familiarity—a ritualistic quality, as every year I load up the latest entry and proceed through its bevy of re-skinned content. “Hello, old friend. Nice to see you again. My, you haven't changed a bit."...But Assassin's Creed has long since been surpassed by its imitators, from Mad Max to Arkham City to Shadow of Mordor to Sunset Overdrive to Tomb Raider. What they lack in recreating a period of history, they make up for by offering something a modicum different.

    In the end, Assassin’s Creed Syndicate is a far more competent entry than the much maligned Unity, but it does not entirely restore faith in the aging franchise.
