    Oyun grafiksel olarak Unity'den bi tık daha iyi olmuş; bug, glitch veya takılma gibi sorunları yok. Yapılar Londra'da olduğumuz için herhalde pek dikkate değer değil.

Akıcı bi sistem olmuş, baymıyor fazla. Oyunda ek zorluk seviyeleri olmasını isterdim. At arabası kullanabiliyoruz, hızlı ulaşım açısından iyi olmuş. Dedektiflik yaptığımız kısımlar çok iyi ama delillerin kaç tane oldığunu bilmesek sanki daha hoş, daha zorlayıcı olurmuş. Hikayeye gelirsek, ana hikayesi AC 2 den sonra herhalde en iyisi diyebilirim. İki koldan ilerliyor, akıcı ve dikkat çekmeyi başarıyor. Pek falsosu, klişesi yok. Yan görevlerde çete görevleri tekrara düşüyor ve basit kalmış. Zamanın ünlü kişileri Darwin, Dickens ve diğer müttefik görevleride mevcut. Dickens görevleri gayet hoş fakat diğerleri ise boş. Hintli arkadaşın olduğu DLC'yi oynarken sanki Unity oynuyormuş gibi sıkıldım. Penny Dreadfull görevleri baya güzel, parasını hakeden bir DLC. Jack the Ripper ise hikayesi ve oynanışı ile gayet güzel olmuş. Oyunun genel olarak çok detaylı ve uzun bir oynanışı var. 45 saat falan oynadım. JtR hariç herşeyi ama herşeyi açtım. %97 ile bitirdim. AC2 den sonra en beğendiğim AC oyunuydu.… Expand

    Good game. Little bit too "casual" to me. Fights are repeatable and you can get bored after some time. Story is fine and funny.

    Assassin's Creed: Syndicate took me by surprise, especially after my mixed feelings about Assassin's Creed: Rogue and the ups and downs of Assassin's Creed: Unity. I must say, I absolutely love Assassin's Creed: Syndicate.

    One of the standout features of Syndicate is the introduction of two main characters: the Frye brothers, Evie and Jacob. The freedom to switch between them during    Assassin's Creed: Syndicate took me by surprise, especially after my mixed feelings about Assassin's Creed: Rogue and the ups and downs of Assassin's Creed: Unity. I must say, I absolutely love Assassin's Creed: Syndicate.

    One of the standout features of Syndicate is the introduction of two main characters: the Frye brothers, Evie and Jacob. The freedom to switch between them during roaming, except for most story missions, is a brilliant idea. Evie, the more serious and focused sibling, feels like the perfect assassin, while Jacob, with his not-so-serious personality, takes some time to get used to, but he grows on you. I must admit that Evie is my favorite of the two, and her presence was a breath of fresh air after the last two main protagonists in the series.

    The story is captivating and set in a unique period, the industrial revolution. The English atmosphere and the dark side of the era, including child labor, adds depth to the narrative. London is beautifully designed, with grand buildings waiting to be scaled. The grappling hook, a new addition, fits seamlessly with the vast cityscape. Although it makes combat and escape a bit too easy, I found it to be a perfect fit for this setting.

    However, parkour in Syndicate feels somewhat scripted and restricted compared to the previous titles, taking away some of the freedom we once had. This may not be a major issue for me, but I understand it can be a significant concern for others. On the animation front, Syndicate outshines its predecessors, offering more realistic movements.

    Yet, there are some elements that stray from the traditional Assassin's Creed style. The GTA-like aspects, such as stealing carriages from random people on the street, don't feel quite right for the franchise. Additionally, the focus on gangs, while fun gameplay-wise, might not align perfectly with the essence of being an assassin.

    Nonetheless, the stealth and assassination mechanics are outstanding, surpassing even Unity's excellence. The combat has also undergone significant changes, making it feel fresh and enjoyable. While this combat style may not be suitable for a medieval AC game, it fits perfectly in the Syndicate setting.

    Regarding the present time story, while better than Unity and Rogue, it doesn't match the depth of previous entries. The shrinking importance of the present-day gameplay and story across the series is disheartening for those of us who loved that aspect of the games.

    Lastly, the achievements remain a letdown, as they are not implemented on Steam. It's frustrating to work towards unlocking all 56 achievements, only to have no way for others to witness your accomplishments. Ubisoft Connect is currently the only place where you can view your achievements. Where only you can see them, having to way to share your progress with others.

    To sum up, Assassin's Creed: Syndicate is a standout title in the series, offering a fresh perspective with two compelling main characters and an intriguing story set in the industrial revolution. The gameplay is fantastic, with excellent stealth, assassination, and combat mechanics. However, some elements may feel out of place for the franchise. Despite these minor setbacks, Syndicate remains a must-play for Assassin's Creed enthusiasts, delivering an entertaining and immersive experience in Victorian London.    … Expand

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    An amazing steampunk experience. As a fan of Dishonored and steampunk, I had to go for Syndicate and it did not disappoint me. The openworld industrial Victorian London setting is quite remarkable and fun to explore. The DLCs are a great addition to the game and are a must play too.

    Solid AC game, BUT, not perfect at all. City looks amazing, graphics by 2015 standard are very good. Parkour is not as good as Unity's, but still decent. Overall i think, this one is worth playing, if you are interested in that time period and it has enough "assassin" fun. Not Unity level tho.

    Syndicate is not bad AC game at all, it's just not as good as Black Flag or Unity. It also seems to be hated mostly by UK gamers, literally every UK youtuber who likes AC, always hates on Syndicate. Why you might ask? Well i have no idea, maybe they don't like their own country or something, but to me, it was very interesting climbing around in 1800s London.

    It is worth saying that I played the game in 2022 and most of the bugs I saw in previous reviews were not present when I played, This always reinforces my personal belief that playing games at launch is a cold both for the amount paid and for the product delivered.

    As for the graphics, I noticed a few improvements compared to Unity, the ambiance is still very good, incredible scenarios,    It is worth saying that I played the game in 2022 and most of the bugs I saw in previous reviews were not present when I played, This always reinforces my personal belief that playing games at launch is a cold both for the amount paid and for the product delivered.

    As for the graphics, I noticed a few improvements compared to Unity, the ambiance is still very good, incredible scenarios, very beautiful character design, but the same lack of variation from the usual NPCs.
    The gameplay evolved abruptly, all the problems of lack of precision in the movements that I felt in the previous one disappeared leaving an incredible parkour and well done. The abseiling system helps a lot, as the buildings are immense. The only thing I didn't like very much was the battles, because maybe I didn't like the style of giving weapons, but it's not bad.
    I didn't have any bugs related to the base game, but in the DLCS it was a tragedy. When there was only one crime left to solve, he restarted all of them as if none had passed. In the Ultimo Maraja DLC, I had to restart ALL missions at some point because of a bug that prevented me from proceeding. In the Jack Ripper DLC I had to restart several missions for the same reason. The pleasant surprise was in The Darkest Hour that there were no bugs.
    The story of the base game pleased me a lot, it's not brilliant, but it's fun. Both the main, the secondary and gang fights.I even liked the stories of the other DLCs but the fact that there was a downgrade in items and skills after spending so much time, 70 hours in my case, to conquer in the base game was very disappointing and I almost didn't play.

    I highly recommend buying the game these days, as it will have fun and deliver gameplay (at least in the base game) clean of bugs and problems.    … Expand

    Pc version is best version of AC Syndicate, so if anyone wants to play it, play it on PC. Graphically this game still looks amazing, even better than many 2022 games. Sadly it's parkour isn't as good as in Unity, also story missions can be hit or miss. Some are fun, some boring, but that goes for any game i guess. Overall solid game.

I recently decided to play through the whole AC franchise in order (shelved the franchise after Revelations due to getting busy with college.) And I was honestly expecting this game to be weak after years of hearing a lot of hate focused at it. I wasn’t sure I was going to like some of the changes like the skill tree introduction at first, but it all worked well. I loved it being the most “modern” AC game. Loved the setting. The dual protagonist format worked well playing characters with different strengths and abilities. I liked seeing the real world events with Shaun and Rebecca. The story and characters were strong. The DLC was amazing. Stealth, fight and parkour mechanics were great. I really can’t say enough good things about this game. I really feel it’s the last true AC game. Everything afterwards did the ridiculous left turn into RPG and left narrative and established lore behind. This was the last game to follow the rules of the Animus reliving memories versus the chose your own adventure format of later games. Syndicate was overall a very strong game that suffered badly from following the disastrous buggy launch of Unity. I really wish Ubisoft got back to games like Syndicate that made the franchise great and followed the established rules of the universe that were laid out as a strong foundation from the beginning.… Expand

    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.
