    I feel like this game is a proper comeback for assassin's creed. It's got a pretty good story, fun gameplay, and great side missions! I didn't encounter any glitches so that was great but the ending was stupid. The ending does tease something exciting tho. I highly suggest u get it, it's really worth the money.

    Great game! Dont know where complaints coming from! I assume some people must have pirate copies or never played the game! Its not the best Assassins Creed game but its pretty close! For me its definitely better than Black Flag and pretty close to AC2

    Maybe it's time for Ubisoft to stop. and think to avoid throwing a cult series in mediocrity and flatness as with sindycate we went really close. The Paris of Unity shone and glistened, the London of sindycate smoke and steam. Where is the marvellous graphics we saw in Paris?

The Paris of Unity shone and glistened, the London of sindycate smoke and steam. Where is the marvellous graphics we saw in Paris? We had to make the frame rate more fluid and there are almost succeeded but the details of the textures are low to medium and the illuminations are of poor quality as well as polygonal models of the characters and the city of London in geneal. 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. Syndicate said this is not bad and is very reminiscent of black flags in many mechanical and in some moments. As I said at the beginning we would like to wait a couple of years before seeing a good assassins creed worthy of the and not a discreet production made for fans and earn a little money.… Expand

    Im not a ubisoft lover but this is a far better release then Unity. People who preorder it wont cry for their money back and thats an improvement. Keep going like this ubi and ill love you again, maybe.

    After playing this game, I can only say that : It's not an Assassin's Creed. I think Ubisoft should have created a new IP because this one is too far from what an AC is...

    So, it's 4.

    Massive, Massive improvement over that crapfest that was Unity. The characters are well written, familiar gameplay mechanics such as the whistling and being able to pick up bodies is back, the story has clever links to the story of the other AC games, the modern day is better and actually goes somewhere (albeit the ending is absolute wank) and the side missions are implemented well intoMassive, Massive improvement over that crapfest that was Unity.

    I got this game early (Wednesday) and the biggest criticism I can have of it is that It just doesn't make you want to play it

    Yes, Assassins Creed has been similar for years now but I've always enjoyed them, this time I just feel like there haven't been many improvements in the places that matter. The city, while very accurate to Victorian London is, in my opinion, extremely boring.

    Yes, Assassins Creed has been similar for years now but I've always enjoyed them, this time I just feel like there haven't been many improvements in the places that matter.

    The city, while very accurate to Victorian London is, in my opinion, extremely boring. Lots of Grey, Brown & Black. I understand this was what it was like in that era but I personally just don't enjoy it. The graphics are not a massive improvement on Unity

    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

However the 2 main characters are very well written and are extremely likable, Jacob Frye is as good a character as Ezio. You are actually going to laugh quite a bit, and it's a good thing. This is probably the least serious Assassin's Creed game.

    I know a lot of people are tired of this franchise but the key to enjoying it is to not play all the Assassin's Creed games. Only play the good ones, and this is one of the good ones.    … Expand

    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]
