    Assassin's Creed brings us the first big DLC. Jack the Ripper is in town and chaos arises. An interesting story to say the least.

    Jack the Ripper is a substantial and enjoyable additional chapter to the main game, only marred by the developer’s insistence on trying to make real history fit into a fiction.

    With Jack the Ripper’s DLC, we have new fear-related abilities and a suggestive story to please Assassin’s Creed Syndicate’s fans.

    Assassin's Creed Syndicate: Jack the Ripper is a good DLC with interesting art direction and some gameplay changes. The story is compelling, but the fear mechanics isn't well mixed in the game. There are few I.A. problems and Jack's potential isn't fully accomplished, but it's still an interesting way to develop the world of Assassin's Creed.

    Jack the Ripper is a good DLC for Assassin's Creed Syndicate, as it offers an interesting story and a "nice" atmosphere within its main Jack the Ripper missions. It's a shame that nearly all the side missions can't convince as much.

    Hunting Jack The Ripper with a new ambient, new locations and new gameplay elements was an enjoyable experience on this expansion, but the game still has repetitive missions and some technical problems that didn't let the game become memorable.

    Its innovation in certain missions, the use of fear and the jump in the Fryes storyline enrich the Syndicate universe, but it fells underdeveloped gameplay-wise. The sidequests are a a little boring.

    Uno dei migliori dlc di sempre soprattutto della saga degli assassini, molto originale. Ambientazione molto lugubre. Molto meglio del gioco originale.

    I enjoyed this DLC but after playing the full game it felt a bit repetitive and loading times still an issue. However good idea and still fun overall.

It has it's Issues but it is one of the best DLCs of 2015 and probably, Years to come. The only Issue I can think of, is a big one. We want to play the whole Game as Jack, we want to kill People and be bad for once. Other then that, this is a must have.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Kind of a letdown. The timeskip of the "Story" doesn't really statisfy me. Evie comes together with Henry what bothers me alot since he was useless at its finest. Also Evie look ugly compared to the look before, the clothes she wears also.

    Apart from that it contains alot of bugs and glitches, Missions are lame.    … Expand

It did notI LOVED AC Syndicate, from the first to the last minute. So I was expecting the same fun with the DLC/expansion "Jack the Ripper". It did not happen... although the story is interesting and does bring a few more elements to the ever growing canon of the series. when it comes to the mechanics, the game falls flat.

    All that made ACS so much fun appears to have been removed, or tweaked (in a bad way). The missions are uninspired, repetitive and punitive. I lost count of how many times I had to restart a mission due to the fact that the objective was missed, no because of my lack of skill, but because of the way the elements were built around the missions. Additionally, this DLC feels rushed, unpolished. And it is buggy as well; the carriage is a nightmare, constantly stuttering or freezing completely for a few seconds. And this is extremely distracting.

    It has some nice moments but, overall, I would not recommend this DLC. If you played ACS to completion and had your fun with that game, you are not missing anything.    … Expand

So when there was a sale on it, I picked it up. Naturally I played it right after AC Syndicate’s campaign. Wow what can be said for this DLC?

    As others have said the first 10 minutes (the prologue) are very strong. You meet Jacob, 20 years after Syndicate has ended, he apparently started up his own Brotherhood in London but now these killings have started. After the cut scenes you start as Jack the Ripper himself and it’s a powerful opening.

    But it quickly jumps off a cliff from here. You switch over to Evie who comes back to London to search for Jacob. And boy has India not been kind; her face model is now ugly as sin and doesn’t look anything like her previous one. You can no longer do assassinations or any sort of killings whatsoever. The scaring power is ridiculous; it just causes people to run around the map like crazy people.

    The story is paper-thin and what could have been a promising few hours, fell flat with a hurried ending that made no sense whatsoever and wow there’s Jacob, we’ll cover this all up so this never happened, the end. Don’t waste your money, I don’t know what those reviews were talking about, this DLC is not worth your time. Syndicate itself wasn’t good, but this is even worse.    … Expand
