    This has always been the most uninteresting game in the series. I haven't played it yet. I'll update the review after I play it.

    This is not the most memorable entry in the series. It does have it's moments, and I did like the protagonists. One major issue this game suffers from is the lack of innovation in a series that released too similar titles too close together.

    Beautiful recreation of Victorian England dragged down by unimpressive main storyline and god-awful side content. 90% of the missions are fetch/escort garbage from MMOs from the 2000s.

    honestamente? não é um dos melhores jogos pela história, mas a gameplay é boa no geral e os personagens são até divertidos. se pudesse tiraria o gancho da mecânica core do jogo e ficaria um jogo mais realista para o período que pretende apresentar.

    Big improvement over Unity.
    Good game, and interesting story. For some reason, I preferred playing as the sister - probably because she feels more like an assassin, and the brother feels more like a brute, punching and kicking his way through the story.
    The game has a nice mix of mystery, action, exploration and some character development. It's well done, and generally much better than    Big improvement over Unity.

You get to meet the queen and do some missions for her which are fun. The combat is almost identical to Unity. The campaign is good as it shows how deep the corruption is that the Templars have a stronghold in every part of London from science, politics, finance to transportation. You kill the high profile templars but leave the position unfilled which just creates a vacuum of power. The new addition is the grapple gun which you can use to glide across the city or climb the towers quickly. Horses are removed and carriages have taken their place in the game. The build-up was pumping the game until the ending which is disappointing.… Expand

    Story
    3.5/5

    Mediocre start but likeable protagonists. Stereotypical antagonists and outstanding historical people.
    Setting of the era and place is well chosen and one bonus era is also welcome but somehow underwhelming.
    The dialogues are mostly filler but the voiceovers and some rare funny moments are really good.
    Main protagonists evolve slightly which only shows in the late game.

    Gameplay
    3.5/5

    All guns blazing in close combat with easy to counter attacks and combos or more tactical stealth options.
    A few uninspiring missions repeat themselves too often.
    Some interesting bonus objectives which promote an additional challenge.
    Parkour and travelling across the city is easy and enjoyable but the combat can be abused very easily and assassinations can be over with quickly.
    Some cool ideas with combat tools and upgrades.

    Replay value
    2.5/5

    A lot of loot and experience make the game significantly easy in the end game and grinding is only required for a couple of hours at the start.
    Two independent protagonists but their playstyle is almost identical.
    We can't choose who to play as in main missions and we will also easily unlock all upgrades in the mid game.
    We may play with a better knowledge of our opponents and mechanics in the second run and it would be a walk in the park, I don't see a real point in replaying it.
    The game offers a sandbox after the end which I guess is in place because there are more missions and places to visit.

    Verdict
    6/10

    I was very conflicted at the start and wanted this to be over quickly but in the end I started to like the protagonists more. The gameplay and missions won't blow anyone's mind. The world itself is quite nice when it opens up and options are ever present for exploration and a few unique moments in the story itself and some funny parts helped me get through thousands of mindless assassinations.

    Assassin's Creed Syndicate is a 3rd person sci-fi hack and slash RPG set in the historical era of mid 19th century to early 20th London portraying real historical figures mixed with fictional stealthy assassins.

    Two playable protagonists are conflicting with each other. And one of them later grows in character but initially the game doesn't start with a very good first impression.

    Furthermore, the area we start is a tutorial one and the first borough of London we visit isn't impressively big or nice.

    The gameplay doesn't offer much variety when it comes to two characters having their late game unique skill upgrades and that's the small problem.

    Those skills aren't needed for the late game and even when they would matter I found myself playing for the second character because the game doesn't allow me to pick one for the main missions.

    There are also two differences between the two characters. Evie has a cape while Jacob has a belt. They can wear their own sets of clothes and their personalities make more difference than the actual playstyles.

    I've spent half of the game grinding and oblivious to understand that it wasn't even necessary to progress. I was vastly overpowered from mid to late game and I wasn't offered any real challenge, at least I made it a little more interesting by fulfilling the bonus objectives, like not killing policemen or staying undetected.

    We receive experience for a lot of activities, destroying city lamps, multi kills, fancy kills, vanishing, etc. It's simple to gain a new level up and it is wise not to waste the points into something pointless at the start.

    I've found a few upgrades to be pretty useful for both characters; auto looting enemies, unlocking doors, eagle vision 2 and health boosts. One line of upgrades in particular wasn't very useful; carriages.
    There are seriously a lot of loot chests. They all contain money and materials, the golden ones gave me some special drafts for equipment. With eagle vision 2 it's even easier to find them, I was initially not playing with vision through walls which felt like a cheat against enemies but saved me a lot of frustration. Getting all upgrades is inevitable. The story of activities like taking over the boroughs isn't interesting at all but the encounters may sometimes be fun and funny, especially if you're like me and take the effort to achieve some extra experience for doing objectives. This aspect of the game felt very grindy and dragged my interest in the game less. On the contrary, the historical figures added some flavour to the otherwise tasteless world of assassinations. Almost all of them were eccentric but didn't always offer me the most interesting missions to fulfil, however taking into account all they offered, I enjoyed a small couple of them much more than the rest. My upgrades provider and my secret accomplice were quite fun.    … Expand

    Great game! It had a mediocre start, but later on got better. The parkour is definitely one of the best in the series but the combat is just inadequate. The setting was delightful even though London was not busy enough. Also it felt like the graphics dropped if we compare it to Unity, Rogue and even Black Flag. The game has its positives and negatives. I think it deserves a 7/10

    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.

    The aging Assassin’s Creed franchise begs to be retooled and refreshed, and the paint-by-the-numbers Syndicate is yet more proof of that.

    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.
