    Syndicate is a big improvement from Unity, but that was one of the buggiest pieces of crap in recent memory. It follows the tried-and-true formula you know so well.

The negatives: there's plenty of story potential that goes untapped, the twins' relationship is hardly covered at all, there is still lots of busy work, some of the missions towards the end get fairly flat, the story doesn't really build to anything memorable and the villain is incredibly amateur (he runs London, yet at no point does he do anything to wrest back control!). A solid 7 - I enjoyed it but there's so much untapped potential in the AC series.… Expand

    The best assassins creed since 2. Had a blast with this absolutely huge game. The story ends awfully, and it does get very repetitive in the end, though.

    I am a huge fan of the Assassin's Creed franchise because I am a history buff. First off, it is not historically accurate. There were very little women gang members in Industrial Revolution London. The game has a lot of women gang members. Ubisoft gave into the PC police and added more women.

Ubisoft gave into the PC police and added more women. It should not be about caving to political pressure or feminazi's, it should be about historical accuracy.

    Gameplay
    I finished the story and captured all of the boroughs. This is not a bad game but it is also not the greatest game I have ever played. Like all Assassin's Creed games, it is repetitive. The game is fun to play when the controls do what you want. The controls can be difficult to master. There are instances when I want to be on a specific ledge in parkour mode and I end up on a ledge I do not want to hang on. It is really upsetting when you are trying to be stealthy and the controls place you where you do not want to be, thus resulting in getting caught by the guards/enemies. Ubisoft needs to fix this in their next game. The game is mostly melee and you need to surprise your enemy to kill them quickly or be prepared to fight them for a long time.

    The Story
    The story is not complex. In a nutshell, your objective is to take over London and defeat the Grand Master Templar. There are no surprises or plot turns in the story. The main characters, Evie and Jacob, are unique to the series personality wise. Evie is an excellent character and reminds you of that cool smart chick next door. Jacob shows a significant human side once (he tried to save children in one sequence). His reckless and has the shoot first, ask questions later mentality in the story. I do not know what the major gaming critics are talking about when they say it is a horrible ending. Objectively, the ending to the Evie and Jacob story was not super exciting, but not horrible. The modern day story is unfinished and will likely continue to the next Assassin's Creed game next year.

    Overall, I give it a 7. It is better than Unity but not the best story in the Franchise. The controls should be less convoluted and should have been simplified a long time ago.    … Expand

    This is a definite improvement over unity, the story and characters are improved and is probably the best it's been in a while. The characters are enjoyable and interesting, even if the main antagonist is the stereotypical villain I still found him entertaining. London looks great and you really feel like your in the industrial revolution.
    the soundtrack is beautiful well written.    This is a definite improvement over unity, the story and characters are improved and is probably the best it's been in a while.

London looks great and you really feel like your in the industrial revolution.
    the soundtrack is beautiful well written. Ironically the features that have helped improved it are from older games. You can hijack coaches a la GTA, the combat is reminiscent from Batman Arkham City as well as the grappling hook( even though it's not as fast, but that just makes sense, considering the times.) and you can have your gang members follow you and fight with you like in saints row.
    You can perform environmental kills, like having hanging barrels drop on foes by throwing knives at them, set off dynamite by either shooting or throwing bombs at them.You can make enemies kill each other by either shooting them with hallucinogenic darts or at open fires that enemies are near to turn it into gas, affecting more than one enemy.
    There are horse races now with coaches that, for the most part, I enjoyed. They aren't easy I really felt I heart pumping while I was playing them. They aren't all one type either. Either it's getting from point a to b, lap races. Beating a train(!), or even triathalons, so there's a lot of variety there.
    Unfortunately, there are still problems with the game, caused by occasionally buggy controls that make the pc do things you didn't want them to. The world map is filled with far to many collectibles for my taste. The map is filled with side activities that can get tedious if you don't take a break from them, though they tried to give most of the gang related ones a back-story to try and make you more interested in them. I have experienced two bugs but not a lot and not nearly as bad as last years.
    In the end, if you still like assassins creed you probably enjoy this. If your burned out on the series however, then either don't get it or wait for a sale or the price to go down, maybe even rent it if you can.
    P.s. Just because I give it a seven doesn't mean it's bad. Anything below five is bad whereas fives is average, six is above average and seven is good.    … Expand

I had to force myself to finish it in the end but say it was an overall still pleasant experience. The Assassins Creed games share an overall story arc but you do not need to know the previous games. Basically before mankind a much more advanced civilization existed. Their technological abilities were so advances that some look like magic. Mankind was created as servant race but rebelled before the ancient society crumbled. There are however many relics existing which would grant imaginable powers to those who find them. Those pulled the attention of groups on them and there is a hidden conflict between the Assassins and Templars since centuries. Both sides have their merits in my opinion and while I lean more towards the Assassins it is more than simply black and white. The main focus is a technology that lets you relive ancestors experience like you were actually there. Here you use that to follow the adventures of the Assassin twins Jacob and Elvie Frye in 1868 on their journey to break the Templar's control of London and to stop their master plan. It is an uphill battle as you start as small group against overwhelming numbers and resources. I actually truly enjoyed the story and different layers of it. Sadly the side actives have weaker stories and become stale in the end. The gameplay is solid stealth action. You infiltrate, eliminate and gain influence to overpower your rivals. This is done via many missions. Those were good and challenging. You can unlock new items and other helpful things as you progress. There are a lot of side activities and exploration but like I said those become repetitive sooner or later. To give you a bit perspective: I am more the “Do all available side quest before advancing the main story” guy so it could be a better experience if you stick more to the main story. Also I like the characters. You can choose between Jacob and Elvie and both won me over as I was invested in them. The antagonist Crawford Starrick is a magnificent villain I love to hate. As per series standard you also encounter many famous people. Like Charles Dickens, Charles Darwin or Florence Nightingale to name a few. The characters and voice actors are a strength a get my praise. Graphically the game was really good too. I like the London as setting and it feels authentic for a non historian like me. I enjoyed the exploration of the interesting city. Overall it is a bit mixed. The game is enjoyable but gets repetitive faster than I expected. Other open world game to more in this regard. I think a 7/10 is fair and if you don't agree with my negatives it could be an 8-9/10 for you.… Expand

The world is huge as as always and full of things to do, but doesnt feel as overwhelmind as Unity did. Music is also a huge win, some beautiful scores most notably when you are atop a vantage point. At one of them i sat purched for good fee minutes so i could listen to it all.

    Graphically is is not bad, it lacks some of the vidual flare that unjty had bht overall I'd say it is good. Rain effects feel a bit phoned in, but the world is full of life and the day / night cycle is a welcome return.

    On the negative side - glitches are still present, mostly in the form of clipping and textures not loading in quickly enough. I had a in engine cut scene play where a character clipped through horse whi,e she was talking and had no mouth movements, another time on another in engine cut scene both evie and jacob did not render but all of their equipment did. Another time most game breakingly of them all, an entire train didnt load in when at a train station - i wws promptly run over and killed. Other annoyances stem from terrible frame rates at times, mostly in the train and an odd and infuriating bug where i am unable to walk through the second carriage because npcs are in the way, making me drunkenyl stager out onto the roof and leap over to the last carriage. Anoying. Finally, the rooe launcher is great when it work, however a good 30-40% of the time it can never seem to find a point to lock onto despite me staring right at one like someone in lust over a ledge on a building. Frustrating.

We also want to talk about the gameplay? It is not acceptable that in 2015 the enemy AI has remained the same since the days of Ezio. The plot is strikingly designed in a hasty and Frye twins are taken and thrown in London without a logical reason apparent. Oh no it is true are two murderers and much basta..ma not for us.

    It's a fun game, but it's basically more of the same from the AC franchise. The main story isn't really engaging at all, although the side missions are a bit more flushed out than they have been in previous installments. If you like the AC franchise, you will likely get entertainment value out of this, but it certainly won't make you fall in love with it.

    The grappling hook is a massive problem for me, it is basically a copy of the hook from Batman Arkham Knight, thus eliminating all the old 'climbing puzzles' from the older games. You just zipline from A to B (not always accurately I might add) so gone are the days of parkour across roofs etc.

    The characters are very well written, especially Evie and are probably the most enjoyable aspect of the game so far.

    As someone who has played every game, usually ending between 90-100% completion on them all, this just doesn't seem like one which I will put the effort into doing this with.    … Expand

It's great to travel around in Victorian London on a carriage, or hopping across buildings. The quests are great, the upgrade systems are rewarding, the stealth is tight, and thankfully it's not as glitchy as Unity. However there are still some parts that I disliked. The game doesn't run as well as you'd expect, and the story didn't leave as much as an impact as it should've. The villians hardly do anything to be bad, and similar to The Order: 1886, the pacing is slow. The game is still enjoyable, but the story as a whole didn't really amuse me. If you want to get into Assasin's Creed, don't start with this, you'd be better off playing Brotherhood or AC 3 first. However if you're an AC fan, you'll enjoy this, but it's still not the best game in the series, I personally think Black Flag is the best.

    Overall, the game makes me hopeful for the future of the franchise, but it's not there yet. Wildly mixed bag.
    You get both ACII and AC Unity moments in this game.
    On the good side, the terrible ideas that came last year like locked content behind companion apps, loyalty programs, multiplayer et cetera, are all gone. This alone is a definite improvement. Microtransactions are existent but not pushed.
    The story is.. ok. That's all there is to it. Characters are fine, but have no depth, they are for all intents and purposes cut-outs. The setting is well-made and very detailed, but the place and time choice is not the best, as nice designed as it is, Syndicate's London, is well.. boring.
    It's not a bad game by any means. It just has some really ugly and underdeveloped sides that keep it from being a good game. If you are not an AC fanatic, wait for a patch, and maybe a price drop too. If you are starved for an AC experience, and are not bothered by the absence of development in the modern timeline story, you will have fun with this, but be warned, there will be those odds Unity-like moments showing their ugly head when you least expect it. At least the series seems to be going in the right direction. I expect something even better in the coming years.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After Assassin's Creed Unity, Syndicate is a definitive step in the right direction, even if it's not the best the series has to offer.

    Jacob and Evie are among the better protagonists in the series, Evie in particular. Both have their own distinct personality, and even vary in gameplay, with Jacob excelling at taking and delivering punishment, and Evie's power lying in being invisible to her enemies and killing them without anyone knowing. Unfortunately, the game doesn't play to their strengths for the most part. Jacob will always be thrown in situations where he has to be stealthy, and Evie will always be thrown in situations where she has to fight. In addition, despite Evie being the far more interesting character, she gets 2 missions for Jacob's 3.

    In terms of gameplay, for better or for worse, this is Assassin's Creed. You climb buildings, assassinate targets, and fight enemies like any other game in the series. The assassination missions are among the best in the series. Unlike the other games in the series providing a "here's your target, just make sure they die," each assassination feels like you're planning a heist, with taking time to plan your entrance and escape, find people to help or exploit, and using one of the multiple paths there are to take in order to make sure your target dies.

    The biggest change to exploration comes in the form of the rope launcher, which allows you to traverse across and up buildings in mere seconds. For those of you who get tired of spending minutes climbing up a building just to jump off, this is a lifesaver. For those of you who do like to climb things, that's still a perfect option, especially since the speed at which you climb has been boosted.

    Naturally, you have a large open world to explore, with various side missions and collectables to explore. Sadly, there are no dungeons where you can test your freerunning skills to find super armour, like in previous games. Your side missions consist of you pretty much doing the same things you would do in any other mission, which causes the game to start feeling repetitive if you want to free London from Templar rule.

    Overall, Assassin's Creed Syndicate does not revitalize the franchise in the way that 2 or Black Flag did. It has it's issues, with a repetitive structure, a lack of unique gameplay options for each twin, and a pretty anti-climactic ending. That being said, the things Syndicate does right outweigh the problems it has. It may not be the best in the series, but at the end of the day, it's fun, and that's what matters. For me, in terms of quality, it's at around the same area as Revelations, if not a little higher. So take that for what you will.    … Expand

    I really do love the assassins creed games. Syndicate is fun but Im starting to get burnt out with all the AC games. I wish they would rap the story up and not make it into the next CoD. The grappling hook is fun and fresh, couldnt get into the carage rides though. All in all its a fun game. its just burning me out

    London featured in this game is extremely gorgeous. Landmarks like The Big Ben are detailedly manifested. The storyline is ok but the characters are likable. It is a great gaming experience to play as 2 assassins of distinctive personalities with different styles of missions.

    Besser als Unity... schlechter als AC4 oder AC: Rogue. Spassig allemal... mehr aber auch nicht. Irgendwie hat mir London nicht wirklich gefallen. Das Kampfsystem ist eine Verbesserung zu Unity... aber lässt mich jenes aus Black Flag vermissen. Hmm... die Pause von Ubisoft tut glaube ich ganz gut.

    Aber genug gemäkelt. AC Syndicate ist alles in allem ein ganz gutes Spiel

I played the game for awhile then took about a month break and returned back to it again to finally finish it. Here are my likes and dislikes of the game.
    Likes:
    1) Skill Sets. This is what drove me to play the game even more because I like upgrading my skill sets regardless of what game I am playing.
    2) Gang Upgrades. Is a nice addition although I didn't use the gangs as much it was still a cool feature to add.
    3) The London Environment. It was pretty cool seeing historical buildings and everything else London has to offer.
    4) The Zip Line attachment. For some reason other gamers did not like this feature but I really liked it as it did save time on climbing buildings, etc.
    5) Purchasing treasure maps. Saved a lot of time purchasing them rather than search for them.
    6) Leap of Faith. Executing the Leap of Faith from the tallest buildings in London sure is fun.

    Dislikes:
    1) Enemy characters appearance. Their appearance was the same throughout the game and it loses the appeal of the game.
    2) The graphics are okay.
    3) From what I remember there was no inclement whether like snow, rain, etc.
    4) The game gets VERY REPETITIVE which is why I took a month off from the game and when I returned to the game I just wanted to finish it so I could move onto my next game.
    5) I think the game could've been better off without Evie. I played Jacob 90% of the time. Didn't see the point in playing two characters.

    In conclusion this game does have it's appeals but their are flaws in this game that hinder it from being a great game which is why I give it a 7/10.    … Expand

Paymants too , cause you can boost up your gang expansion and you can even trade real money for in game credits..

    A good title with less bug from his predecessor the combact system is the good thing about this gam..the story is fine but the parkour is totally absent for the mechanic grapple system.Good character and beatiful city to explore with a fine activity to complete

    Poor 3d modellers! They carefully built such a fantastic London setting is fantastic, and the mission designers didn't care to put even one inventive or exciting mission in the game.

The campaign is made of generic missions, and side content feels like auto-generated filler content. For example, the 'fighting arenas' just push waves of generic enemies at you so you can go mash that square button and occasionally block. It feels insulting really, like they think our time on planet Earth was worthless.
    So.....

    Only recommended if you're super hyped about Victorian/steampunk London setting! The virtual rendition of London is marvelous and interesting. The game wastes both setting and characters on rompy entertainment-flick-clichés, and gameplay that too often collapses under annoying controls and weird, embarrassing bugs. Few, if any, missions add anything new to mission formulas that constantly copy games of the distant past.

    If you're super hyped about crossing the virtual Thames river, climbing various famous buildings, then maybe consider it? But don't expect a polished next-gen game. The gameplay feels copy-pasted from PS2.

    I would give 4/10 but the game has virtual Darwin and virtual Karl Marx in virtual London. It's kind of amusing like that, occasionally.    … Expand

The actual assassinations are fun too, you can do your own thing or interact with the right people and you get a special death.

    However, this is an Ubisoft game so the map is absolutely packed with pointless collectables and boring side quests. I know you don't have to do them but I'm something of a completionist and also you need to do a certain amount to level up enough to be competitive.

    If Assassin's Creed Syndicate was more focused with a smaller map and less distractions this would have been a very good game. instead you spend 90% of your time clearing the map of random things and when you come back to the story you've forgotten who you're helping and why. Less is more Ubisoft!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Minor spoilers. Okay. First of all I only bought the game because I'm an Anglophile and wanted to run around Victorian London (which I've visited in real life four times) and play the Jack the Ripper DLC (I'm also an amateur Ripperologist.) Have been waiting desperately for an Assassin's Creed based in London. Secondly - I did not play Unity but if this is better than Unity then Unity must have been attrocious. Last game I played was Black Flag which was pretty good. This one, however, I've got some major problems with. Haven't experienced any glitches or anything but I'm already bored to death. I've finished Whitechapel and am about half way in Lambeth. In reality, Whitechapel is in the "East End" of London and yet they've situated it in the north of London!!! Why??? Anyone remember East Enders show on BBC? That's Whitechapel. "EAST" end, Ubisoft!!! Not north. In those days Whitechapel Bell Foundry was the biggest industry in the area. They made the Big Ben bell and the Liberty Bell! - yet I see no sign of it!! Why??? They've got two train stations and other factorys, why not this one? The rest of London looks historically accurate as to placement but we'll have to see once I get there.

    My major complaint is that this game seems really dumbed down from AC 2 and even Black Flag. The story sucks or lack of story I should say. Big deal - you're a brother and sister trying to start a rival gang in London against the Templars - ho hum. You don't even really care about them. There is no 'hook' like there was with Ezio (outrage at the Borgias for killing his family and getting revenge, finding out his father was an Assassin, etc.) Evie is okay but Jacob's an ass. Now you're already Assassins and the beginning at Abstergo went by so fast I can't even remember what it was about. Only that they brought two people back from AC 2. BECAUSE THAT GAME WAS GREAT and you've gone downhill since Ubisoft!!!!!

    Climbing towers in AC2 was really hard at times - figuring which side to go up, which handhold led somewhere - now you can scale everything with ease. No challenge at all. I know jumping in AC games is ridiculously unreal but in this game you're leaping 10 ft above yourself with no problem. Ezio had to learn the high jump, remember? You don't even do the scan around each high point to open up an area when you reach it - all areas are open to you but are based on skill level - you just do the Leap of Faith (which is also glitched - I keep hanging off edge not jumping.) The controls are weirder than previous games - you can't free jump in the air to reach a Helix even if you crash and die. Actually, I haven't crashed and died once!! Boring. No skill is involved at all in climbing and jumping. A 3 yr. old could play this.

    It's kind of neat playing two different characters but they both have the same skills, weapons, clothes, etc. Boring. And they said they both should level up together but they don't. I played Evie for all of Whitechapel then switched to Jacob and had to re-assign all skill points again that I earned with Evie to bring him up to same level. Tedious. And also you used to be able to walk around a town without every goddam cop coming after you. Now they are everywhere along with rival gang members. It took me 15 minutes to try to buy something as I kept getting spotted by the baddies! And again we have to find ridiculous things like pressed flowers?? Why would Jacob Frye want books of pressed flowers? That's worse than feathers or flags!!

    The city of London - the buildings and people are fantastic - but no one seems to care that you're going in their houses and opening chests or climbing walls right in front of them. No funny comments like in AC2. Only thing I really like is using the enviroment to kill baddies - like dropping barrels on them, boxes of dynamite, etc. And driving carriages.

    All in all, so far it's a disappointment but it's playable and I will finish it, at least until I get to Westminster.    … Expand

    This is a big disappointment for an AC game. Clunky movement and combat, slow pace, and even worse acting, writing, and accents than usual. I really hope they get focused and return to the quality they had during Ezio's time.

I have little interest in the series unless the setting excites me, and as with the "pirate" theme of AC IV, I was eager to explore the streets of Victorian London. The story is as banal as it has ever been in an AC game, but at least the characters were a little bit more diverse. Had they not included the option to play through the game as Evie I don't believe I would have been able to finish this installment, as Jacob is as boring and cliche as they come. Where this game saves some face is in the presentation of the setting. The visuals are stunning, and the locations spectacular. The World War 1 side mission was enjoyable for as long as it lasted, and was certainly the highlight of this game. However, my main gripe with this game is in the mechanics. New mechanics introduced to the game all worked as expected, but the core mechanic, the parkour the series is marketed on, seems to be devolving rather than evolving from game to game. Animations are buggy and interaction with the environment is terribly mapped. The movement which should feel fluid and fast instead feels awkward and unnatural. Ultimately the grandeur of the game's setting, and avoiding a repeat of the disaster that was unity saved this game from a dismal score. With Black Flag I was eager to play the game every chance I got, and once I completed it I longed for more. With Syndicate my only motivation to complete the game was for the relatively easy Plat trophy. Once that goal was met, I was happy to put the game away and never play it again.… Expand

    It captures the bustling industrial era atmosphere well, and with a number of side quests and items to collect for crafting there's definitely a lot of content, unfortunately it just feels repetitive.

    The game is more polished, stable and solid than it's predecessor and features a cast of like-able, charismatic characters. The city of London is nicely designed too. It's not as detailed as the streets of Paris and is lacking in interiors, but it is still a commendable effort from the team. The return of a dynamic day and night system is another pleasure to have in this game, which drastically improves the atmosphere of London.

    But on the gameplay side of things is where things get a bit shaky. The series is still struggling to reinvent itself. Combat, while faster and more responsive, is still the same ol' "mash the attack button, while you get barely any positive feedback from your attacks" style combat. Mission structures and designs are the same. The only thing that is different is the grappling hook. It boosts the traveling speed quite a bit a la Batman, but I cannot help to feel that it goes against the core principles of the AC parkour gameplay, which (the Parkour) still needs a level of polish that's has been missing since Black Flag.

    And the story, well...... it's Assassin's Creed. The interactions between the characters, both fictional and non-fictional, is a lot more interesting than the "plot". It's kind of there, but it lacks the power to keep the players engaged and things just happen because they have to.

    Don't get me wrong, Assassin's Creed Syndicate is still a fun game to mess around with that will definitely give you some hours of fun. But I just cannot shake the "been there, done that" feeling I had when playing this game.    … Expand

I've played every game to date apart from rogue but found this one a bit of a chore. I'll start with the cons.

    Cons -

    1. The controls are quite temperamental, in particular the climbing mechanics. You will at several points find yourself climbing the wrong wall, moving the wrong way or struggling to move at all. This is something that's always been a problem though throughout the series.
    2. The controls have been altered slightly, you need to hold r2 and O when you want to move forward and down and r2 and X when you want to move forward and up. This took quite a lot of getting used to.
    3. Graphically this game seems to be a step down. Unity blew me away with its visuals but this game is less detailed and environments lack character.
    4. The city is London this time and that means more grey skys, brown buildings and lots of chimneys. Personally the setting doesn't compare to Paris or The Caribbean.
    5. The new grappling hook isn't user friendly. It's not clear where and when it can be activated. It's also very slow. Developers have spaced buildings further apart and made them less easy to climb as well so you're forced to rely on it.
    6. Missions require much less stealth this time around. Unity was more required a greater deal of thought in its missions in my opinion.
    7. The story is quite dull, this is particularly true of the villain who just tries very hard to come across as psychotic.
    8. The combat isn't aging well. The counters, break defenses and repetitive attack animations make it feel quite dull. Other games like Batman and Shadow of Mordor are simply much better at climbing, combat, grappling and level design.
    9. It can be buggy at times. Some bugs prevented the completion of missions which was very annoying.
    10. The load times are crazy long. This make dieing incredibly frustrating.

    Pros +

    1. It's quite fun and there's a lot of content
    2. There's almost zero eavesdropping missions this time which is nice.
    3. The story is dull but the good thing is that the modern day storyline which has been consistently awful is very much in the background this time.
    4. The introduction of carriages is quite fun. Ramming others off the road and zipping around the city is a nice touch.
    5. The skill tree and ability to develop two characters in different areas (strength or stealth) worked well.

    So, overall it's not a bad game and i enjoyed it but there are better games. The series really needs to improve its gameplay because it is falling behind. It's worth playing but only if you can get it really cheap (like 10 dollars) or don't have anything else to play.    … Expand

    El gancho es un plagio total a los Arkham y me parece una decisión desacertada para esta saga ya que inhibe el sistema de niveles del parkour.

    El juego tiene diversas actividades pero la mayor parte de ellas son muy aburridas a la par que repetitivas pero si hay que decir que hay algunas misiones secundarias interesantes como la investigación de crímenes, las misiones de Karl Marx...
    La conducción es muy tosca y el sistema de colisiones y físicas en los carruajes es absurdo.
    La historia es sencilla pero cumple.    … Expand

    This game is not the worst i have played, just, bad. Unity have more beautiful graphics, textures and Multiplayer. This is really boring after finished the history mode. Don't play it, play something better like other Assassins Creed game.

    The setting is really great but what the **** happened to the gameplay?! The combat is weird and you can't even jump no more.

    It's ok. There is literally nothing special about his videogame. Not the worst but also not the best AC game

    Another Assassin’s Creed game that you can either buy or ignore sight unseen depending on whether you grew tired of the old formula. Some innovations (e.g. the grappling hook) are a welcome addition, some (like two playable characters and their development system) feel forced and not really thought through. The brightest aspect of Syndicate is London, which might be the most spectacular city in the series. [13/2015, p.42]

    Assassin’s Creed Syndicate is the best Assassin’s Creed since Black Flag. Ubisoft returns to form. [Nov 2015]

    Beautiful Victorian London restores faith in the series - but the stealth is in serious need of an overhaul. [Christmas 2015, p.64]
