    While technically refined and superior compared to AC Unity, this game does little to innovate over previous AC titles.

Despite the repetitive and often times bland gameplay, the game world is probably the best that Ubi has designed and it performed well maxed out on my GTX 970. Overall, I would consider purchasing this game if it's deeply discounted. Expand

    The addition of a new combat system, grappling hooks and enjoyable assassination missions prevents repetitiveness from making Assassin's Creed Syndicate a total disaster.

    Assassins Creed Syndicate suffers from similar conditions like the rest of the recent AC games. It lacks ambition.

Its not a disaster from the optimization and bug part, but still when it comes to story and gameplay, it is all very similar, with the exception of likable protagonists twins Eve and Jacob. The only new noticeable additions are : grappling hook, coach driving, and leading a gang. None of those features are unique. We saw them in lots of other games already. But I have to admit, London is beautiful and very fun to explore. The main downside of the game is so much unused potential. You can see that the creators of this game were in a hurry. The story of twins Eve and Jacob starts promising, but it falls flat couple of missions in. For me the story was nearly identical wth the AC: Unity, with some twists. I think they should fire whoever drafts the main quest designs. You won't find anything revolutionary here, but still it has some level of fun in it. Expand

    Everyone is talking about graphics and how it runs. Talk about the gameplay and repetitive series. This game improves from ACU, but it still does not change so much in gameplay. Graphics are better and story is obviously decent/good like all AC games are.

Evie is very beautiful, and sweet, is always considered, and sometimes this game (the developers obviously wanted to please women). The main villain is not a monster, he's a normal man with perverted ideas.
    Nevertheless, the plot is held interesting - there are a lot of interesting missions. The job of the characters is also very nice place (Darwin's wonderful).
    The main innovation is the combat system. It works well and looks very cruel, especially dobivanie, and it's cool!
    London looks very beautiful and realistic. Ubisoft again confirmed that he can build the most plausible worlds. Recommend this next adventure. Yes, it is regular, but not bad and worth the money spent and time. The characters will hook you for sure.

    НО! Ubisoft была бы не Ubisoft, если бы чуть-чуть не испортила свою игру: в игре встречаются баги (даже сейчас в 2020, то есть они бросили игру еще тогда и не стали их исправлять), куча разного хлама на карте, некоторые вещи поставлены так, что их хрен подберешь - только за это можно ненавидеть Ubisoft.

    Задания про Первую Мировую Войну считаю лишними, игра вполне могла обойтись и без них, а еще без миллиона коллекционных предметов, и, возможно, стоимость разработки была бы на несколько процентов ниже, что опять же в плюс разработчикам, которые в последнее время ноют про подорожание разработки (этот совет можно смело применять к любой игре от Ubisoft).

Este titulo nos transporta a la segunda revolución mas importante de la historia, de vuelta la ciudad de Londres es una de las mas bellas de toda la saga. Otra vez nos implementan a 2 personajes jugables, esta vez en la misma era y son gemelos, sin siquiera intentarnos explicar como fue que se iniciaron en la Hermandad y como es que sus colegas de la ciudad no los reconocen al principio. Se añade una parte importante de la época que eran las batallas de bandas, si bien los Asesinos siempre han intentado ocultarse en las sombras, ahora se presentan como una facción dispuesta a 'liberar' los barrios del trabajo forzado y el trabajo infantil, vuelve el apartado de gestion, con la posibilidad de tener tu ejercito mientras exploras la ciudad, también hay una gran variedad de mejoras que podemos utilizar para reforzar nuestro grupo. La trama principal vuelve a algo similar ocurrido en los primeros juegos de la saga, pero no destaca como un punto fuerte en esta entrega, se siente como forzado a coexistir con cada una de las áreas en donde ocurren estas misiones. Assassin's Creed Syndicate no es un mal juego, es mas, me encanto su apartado gráfico y sus nuevas mecánicas, pero se vuelve muy tedioso a la hora de explicar la trama y sus personajes no son para nada recordables haciendolos una justificación para jugarlos a ambos.

    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

    In short, Syndicate is mostly a poorer version of Unity in all respects: gameplay, story, characters (historical or otherwise), quality and personality of the open-world and its side activities all feel less well done and/or memorable than in Unity. Gameplay is repetitive and not very engaging. The only advantage is that it runs better than Unity and with fewer bugs.

    In short, Syndicate is mostly a poorer version of Unity in all respects: gameplay, story, characters (historical or otherwise), quality and personality of the open-world and its side activities all feel less well done and/or memorable than in Unity. Gameplay is repetitive and not very engaging. The only advantage is that it runs better than Unity and with fewer bugs.

    Detail:
    You play as Jacob and Evie Frye, twin brothers in the Assassin Order that decide to go to Victorian London in 1868 - Jacob simply wants to kill every Templar and clear the city of the Blighters while Evie is more interested in finding the Piece of Eden and prevent the Templars from having it it. Supposedly Jacob is more combat thirsty and Evie more stealth oriented, but there's actually only 3 unique perks to each of them, and only Evie's camouflage perk (go invisible while standing for about 2 secs) is really noticeable. While you can do side activities with either of them, main story missions are locked to either Jacob or Evie. Also, I found it baffling that some Jacob missions' optional objectives involved stealth, while Evie could kill everyone with no penalty - so what's the point of making a character supposedly more combat focused, and another more stealth focus?

    There's an overall feeling of "quantity over quality", superficiality, shallowness to the open-world and its characters, events and missions. There's a million collectibles lying about, London is huge, but it feels populated rather than "alive". Supposedly there's background to the Conquest Activities that involve minor characters with a description in the database, but their description is so short and doing said activities them feels so inconsequential that you don't really care. Also, you do one the Conquest Activities, you've seen them all, really, and there's dozens of them. The grapling hook looks cool, but you'll realize the real reason you use it is that you want to get about and get things done as fast as possible, since there's little story and value to be had from them, except money and XP. There's hardly any crossing between the missions and historical events and the cameo appearances of Darwin, Dickens, Marx, etc. are little more than that, their missions boil down to the same elements.

    Gameplay is the same of Unity, except for the addition of the grappling hook and the removal of the ability to distract guards with objects you can pick up. In the combat department, I feel like it's even easier, even with the fact you have weaker melee weapons (no swords, just canes, knuckles, knives) and with the addition of enemies' ability to block, which you can simply use the "stun" button to counter it. I never felt like it was actually really helpful and "cool" to go stealth or non-lethal, mostly it was less hassle just to go in, kill everyone in combat and get to my objective. I hardly get the feeling I am an assassin, rather I felt like being a murderer. There's only a few instances that you'll want to kill a few enemies stealthily, in particular when you need to kidnap one enemy alive. Unless you don't care, since that is optional... Other than that you can pretty much just wreck and murder about it London with wild abandon without consequences other than alerting police and enemies nearby, that you can promptly kill. Civilians' reaction is mostly to scatter, if even that, but don't call the police. You can go on roofs and kill dozens of enemies on the ground with throwing knives right in front of each other, but they'll just look to the dead bodies wondering what happened... Oh, and the introduction of carriages and riding them is hilarious, they take little damage, horses don't mind collisions at all, you can drift around corners and pretty much lay untold wreckage in London like it's an everyday commonplace thing. The main story missions are just a minor step-up in mechanics and settings than the optional ones. Murder mysteries are PS4 time-exclusives, and co-op and heist missions are missing from Unity, and those were some of the best actual missions in Unity.

    The story is not very rich, there's not a lot of characters or character development. Who are the Assassins, 3 guys in London? The main antagonist mostly sits about the whole game, philosophizing, until you fight him in the last mission. The story dances around conflict between Evie's and Jacob's different methods on how to accomplish Assassins' goals, but there's little actual development of that, you just keep on playing. There's hardly any memorable moments, like in Unity's Versailles Ball, Notre Dame assassination, hot air balloon... Historical themes introduced like child labor, votes for women, working class vs high society are just superficially addressed, with little more than mentioning them here and there while you play the same mission types over and over.

    I suppose I should mention that the game looks and sounds impressive, but that's it.

I really did wish they gave me the option to use fists as a weapon again...combat styles are limited in this game compared to other assassin's creed games.

    what killed the game for me was...the missions... the missions are simply just...not fun. tailing people was not fun. kidnapping gang members was not fun. taxi driving people to destinations was not fun. I had to force myself to play through some missions because they were so un-fun. there are a couple varied missions here and there which are fun. most missions are boring, dull, repetitive, unadventurous, unsurprising, missions.

    I had to force myself through the game, just to see the ending. the game's only saving grace is the fun combat, the somewhat decent story, and upgrading your character's gear.

    As a fan of the Assassin's Creed series, up to and including Black Flag, I must say that for me, Syndicate is yet another disappointment after Unity. Now, I have played Unity on PS4, and the choppy framerate and huge pop-ins issue, along with very imprecise controls, made the game almost unplayable to me.

    I can't judge exactly how much Syndicate improves on that, because I am playing

Now, I have played Unity on PS4, and the choppy framerate and huge pop-ins issue, along with very imprecise controls, made the game almost unplayable to me.

    I can't judge exactly how much Syndicate improves on that, because I am playing this on the PC, not PS4. The game runs well on a GTX 980 Ti with max settings, but then again, it's the top of the line video card. The graphics look pretty good, although they are sometimes dull and still not free of pop-ins issues. London feels alive and I think they have captured the vibe of those times well enough. I have to admit this is the only reason I still play AC games, the possibility of seeing various cities at various important periods in history (well, as long as the producers do their historical research well enough).

    The controls continue to be a hassle to work with.. I appreciate that they've implemented the "free run up" and "free run down" mechanics, to maybe help a little with navigating the world, but the control is still imprecise and more often than not, you are fighting against it.

    I don't have much to say about the story & characters. I don't feel very connected to the siblings and I often feel like this has been done just because it worked really well in GTA V... The implementation is far from the beautiful way this is being handled in GTA.. Anyway, I realise that out of the whole AC series, I only cared for Ezio's story, especially the way it was done in AC2.

    My main gripe is actually with the gameplay. Due to bad controls, and the way your character seems to have less ways to actually be a GHOST ASSASSIN, I feel like the whole game is mainly played as a fighting game. Not that AC ever excelled at stealth assassinations, but I just can't play this game in a stealthy manner. The missions seem to always turn into a "f.. this, I'm killing everybody" situation.

    Combat is clunky and boring, the only thing I find satisfying about it are the multi-kill animations, where you can execute several "near death" enemies instantly, in a spectacular fashion. Animations are kinda stiff though.

    All in all, this is probably the last AC game I'll play. Thankfully, I got it for free in the "Bullets or Blades" promotion with GTX cards... Overall, I think the game deserves a 6/10.

    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.
