    Finally perfect AC after all those years. After Unity which was not really good they seems to make formula for perfect game. AC2 was best AC until now in my opinion but comparing to Syndicate it doesn't looks too good anymore. They reduced to minimum all annoying stuff like endless "follow somebody" missions, they removed silly coop missions and list goes on...

They had bad moments with AC with a lot of experiments which become bad games like AC3 or Unity, but after all that seems they founded what's good and what bad and make it right! Let's hope they will keep this formula for future releases. keep them coming!!!!… Expand

    I`ve been a huge critic of Ubisoft in recent years and AC games in general but after the disappointment of unity i was going to not bother with AC this year but the London setting kept me interested.

    I picked this game up at a nice discount for PC under £20.00 Ubisoft store is complete ripoff at £50.00.

    The game looks amazing probably the best looking game of the year i`m running it totally maxed out everything on Ultra and top setting with 2x 980ti its barley getting 60fps at 1440p but with Gsync its runs very smoothly.

    The biggest surprise for me is the combat and stealth actually really work well this time and the grappling hook makes the game so much more fluid and higher pace. Its still what you`d expect for a AC game but its the best one yet and i only planned to take a quick look at the game as i`m in the middle of Fallout 4 and ended up playing it for 18 hours in the last 2 days >.< ive never done that with a AC game before.

    Its a great come back for AC and Ubisoft are back on form I hope there`s a ton of DLC cause this is by far the best open world city they have ever made the sound graphics and game-play are all not notch.    … Expand

I enjoyed Assassin's Creed: Unity, but I felt like the combat was near atrocious, and many other things could have been better. Syndicate corrected every aspect that made Unity so unpopular as well as adding a ton of new gameplay elements that are sure to excite. The combat has an Arkham feel to it, if Batman was in Gangs of New York, but has a depth to it that is similar to old-fashioned Brotherhood. (The combat is much more challenging than the mash-counter system of the "old days," but it's satisfying with every press of the button, and leaves you with a rewarding feeling when you've won.)

    --- It's the first Creed game where I've felt like the combat is almost more fun than the stealth. ---

    The world is, by far, the most vibrant and busy open-world I've ever experienced. Smaller boats and floating jetsam rock in the water realistically when you jump onto them. Not at all does this game feel stretched thin. It looks and feels as solid and reliable as Arkham Knight, for a comparison.

    All in all, I gave this a 10, because I wholeheartedly believe that's what it deserves. It's the best game I've played on PS4 yet, and it keeps getting better, the farther I get into it.    … Expand

This is probably the least serious Assassin's Creed game.

    Syndicate was exactly what I was hoping for. As a die hard fan of the AC series I feel that it is important to something big with them every year and Syndicate did just that. I really felt at one with Jacob and Evie like they were real beings and that is a great emotional feeling to get from a game. Always worth playing!

    All i can say is that i purchased all the other assassins creed games and got bored before completing but this has kept me interested right through to the end. Lovely city, find myself constantly stopping to admire the gorgeous scenery, it really is a beautiful game. Playing as two characters is also a bonus and bar a few glitches it all ran very smooth. In my opinion best assassins creed yet.

    Assassin's Creed Syndicate more than compensates for the blunder that was Assassin's Creed Unity. In fact I didn't play Unity at all because the reviews were so dissuading. Most of the game mechanics within Syndicate are ultimately engaging and I like the fact that you can freely swap between Evie and Jacob anytime you like.

    Whilst the mission structure is more than adequate, the story suffers a little due to a plot decision midway through and the final boss fight is poorly designed.

Im used to the counter system in thebatman arkham series where your not going to have multiple people attacking you at once without the chance to actually counter it and in some fights(sometimes its my fault) but you'll be surrounded by enemies and it won't give you a chance to counter it or attack the enemy. I think these things are things ubisoft can improve on. However this game is a whole nother solar system from unity. I didn't experience any game freezes or the layout of the game in the distance to load. The combat is miles better and people say repetitive but i feel like it was less of a battle with the controller than arkham knight or arkham city was.Best assasins creed so far and its an experience that combines elements of far cry (liberating the city) and gta in a weird way.… Expand

I really love what they did with Jacob and Evie, they literally squabble about everything and it's hilarious, a refreshing change from the bland dialogue in AC:Unity. I also love how you can switch between them in an instant which makes for a great addition to the game play. London like Paris in AC:Unity is a beautiful city to explore. The addition of carriages and trains only further adds to the realism.
    The only thing I didn't like were the tailing missions, where you have to be careful not to get too close to the enemy. These missions are especially frustrating and can often get boring, and a single mistake can force you to restart from scratch. The story isn't also exactly great either.

    Absolutely amazing. I have loved every aspect of the game. MAJOR improvement over Unity. All of the people disliking the game must not have played the same game as I did. It has the same feel that AC2, Brotherhood, and Revelations all had. Syndicate is a must buy for all AC fans.

    This is one of the best open world games for this year. This was under development for more than 3 years before getting released, give some respect for those who struggled to make this game amazing. Review is most important for every game, especially for such franchise, make it a necessary feedback to improve playing this game better.

    although the gameplay is equal to unity, but there are some changes that are of great interest to be played and many prominent figures well-known that I frequently heard but only ever seen visually in this game, the character is very interesting, guns are very unique, and exceeds mmenark as stressed in the aspect crafting of to buy in stores.

    I wasn't sure if i could ever have fun again with an Assassin´s Creed game after Unity. This game does everything better than the last years entry. Give it a shot. Its totally worth it. I gave it a 10 because i had so much fun with it. Not because its a perfect game.

    As for the story-telling, Assassin Creed Syndicate is another pinnacle of perfectly executed cut scenes and voice acting. The writing and the execution are simply phenomenal, no other way to put it. Frankly, the game is so immersive and addictive, I wouldn’t even mind replaying it from scratch.
    You’ll most likely love this game whether you’re a fan of the franchise or not. I’ll go ahead and call it ‘the second true Ubisoft masterpiece after Far Cry 3’. Being my first Assassin Creed experience, having finished it, I’m ready now to play just any title of the series, eyeing ‘Origins’ for next.
    Assassin Creed Syndicate could’ve easily been the Game Of The Year, or least get a ‘Must-Play’, very surprised it didn’t. It’s not just one of the best games I’ve ever played, not just one of the most beautiful games, but one I still play even after getting the platinum trophy.    … Expand

    It's smooth, the story is good, the characters are good (Frye Twins), you care actually about what you are doing in the game and every side missions seem to get you somewhere. I love the hook that you can travel between buildings, it doesn't require you to climb a building, having to jump down and climb another one and so forth. A lot has been improved. Although I am of the few that loved the present day story, I do wish that Ubisoft would go back to that. I love reading the manuscripts and listen to the audio logs that you can unlock through helix fragments, it gives you a deeper story to the past titles.

    It is definitely a title I can finally feel like I am not being screwed over by Ubisoft, it feels like AC went back, or at least came a good way, to the spirit and the magic that I used to love with AC.    … Expand

    Jacob and Evie are fully realized characters with a story that makes you grow genuinely attached to them and effort towards bettering their outcome. The art, direction, writing, voice acting, and cinematography, as well as the character-specific choreographed fight styles entices you to play more. The rope launcher pretty much fixes parkour, as does the "parkour down" ability. The missions are carefully selected and build to important assassinations, as they should. The modern day is a bit disjointed and lacking, but it actually moves the meta-plot football along if you have been following that portion of the story. They have set the stage for what could be a very interesting modern day franchise title in coming years.

    The World War I rift is gorgeous and inventive, and makes excellent use of game mechanics by adding in touches of "Rogue" game play, and the other side activities such as "Child Liberation" and "Investigations" are fun and interesting. Fighting is still quite simple, but that's not really what this game is about. If you play the game with the understanding that the "Optional Objectives" are the "correct" way to complete a mission, you will have a blast. Stated another way: Many situations lend to cheesing by abusing game mechanics or fighting through masses of enemies, but if you play as if you were an assassin who is not Neo from the Matrix, you will have a lot more fun.

    The story of this era of London is told through more than just the missions, so it is key to read. Evie's notebook, the animus database, and even the NPC chatter in the streets all tell a more complex and 3-dimensional story than if you were to simply play through as quickly as possible.

    I have to place this title in a tie with Assassins Creed Black Flag/Rogue for gameplay, and place it as Number One for telling a more nuanced and subtle story of a sibling relationship set at a time when the world was changing faster than anyone could quite grasp.    … Expand

Syndicate sees the return of a more traditional feeling Assassin's Creed style of gameplay. The changes to the established formula made in Unity are still present, only now much better implemented. I still think it's kind of dumb to have a leveling up system in an AC game (why should I have to buy abilities I started off with in the other games?), it too won me over. There's a real feeling of growing more powerful and capable as you progress through Syndicate's many activities.

    This entry of the Assassin's Creed series takes some notes form the playbooks of some of gaming's biggest open-world franchises. Most notably Rocksteady's Arkham games. The open environments the missions take place in, as well as the wide variety of items and abilities at your disposal, encourage experimentation and allow you to find your own solutions and playstyles like never before. Even the fluid combat system that has you juggling multiple foes brought back memories of taking out thugs as The Dark Knight. The inclusion of multiple paths to your target and various opportunities that can lead to unique kills reinvigorate the series' big assassinations. Things like new zip-line tool and the inclusion of carriages make navigating the open-world more exciting than ever. The latter giving the game something of a Grand Theft Auto vibe.

    The story is where things take a slight hit. You'll meet cool characters and the protagonists are great. Kudos to Ubisoft for finally having making an entry in the main series with a playable female character (even if she does have to share the spotlight with a male counterpart). I'll even forgive them for the fact that she isn't the more likable of two leads. The events themselves just aren't that interesting. Some bland villain is taking over London, is after some precursor artifact, and blah, blah, blah. We've all seen it before. Only never with such a dorky final boss fight. The modern day story continues going nowhere. Only now there's some stuff about cloning! We just watch Rebecca and Shaun do some stuff in the occasional cutscene because the people at Ubisoft think we like them for some reason. While killing off Desmond was a pretty gutsy and unexpected move, it's clear they haven't had any idea what to do with this part of the series for some time now. They've even removed it from the gameplay side of things.

    Narrative shortcomings aside, this is a phenomenal return to form for Assassin's Creed. One that even brings some much needed change to things. It's brimming with content to the point where you won't even care about the lack of multiplayer. This some of the smoothest gameplay the series has seen and one of it's best settings. Syndicate makes the series worth returning to after it reached it's lowest point with Unity. Let me tell you, it's one heck of a comeback.    … Expand

    The story is okay, nothing special, and the characters can be hit or miss but I was a fan of the two protagonists, particularly Evie. They don't differ as much as I would like in terms of gameplay but it's still nice that you can switch between them whenever you want, and they both have LOTS of customisation options.

    The combat is understandably more brawler-based than swords and the like, due to the time period, but I found it fun. Unity probably has the edge in this regard though. The traversal, mission structure, assassinations and side content are all much improved in Syndicate though. Not to mention it barely has any performance issues on PS4 and looks beautiful.

Jacob wishes to reclaim London by defeating Crawford Starrick (The Templar Grandmaster) and creating his own gang to protect the citizens of London. Evie however wishes to follow in their father's footsteps and find the piece of eden that is hidden somewhere in London.

    I found the story to be quite good and interesting, both characters are very likable and the actions taken by one another affects the other persons objective specifically Evie. Her role tends to always fix the mistakes that Jacob causes as he is easy to trust and is easily misled by others while also completing her own objectives. The game puts you in the shoes of Jacob more than Evie however Evie has a much more interesting story and a much better character and I spent most of my time playing her rather than Jacob. Overall I found the story to be good but was ruined by a bad boss battle and horrible cliffhanger ending.

    Gameplay + Content
    The gameplay in Syndicate is different from AC Unity's gameplay which was challenging but not very fun at all. The gameplay is quick and refined in Syndicate, the gameplay is actually quite similar to previous assassins creed games 3 and 4 where button mashing and counter were the ways to defeat your enemies. The game is beautiful and definitely gives a good representation of 1800 London.
    The game also adds a leveling system which is a big improvement from Assassins Creed Unity, These upgrades tend to show progression in the characters, rather than Unity which felt quite rushed with Arno.

    Players can also fool around a lot in this game, conquering London is fun and different from the main story even though it can be repetitive it was a fun repetition. There are also side quests that players can do that involve important historical figures such as Charles Darwin and Charles Dickens which gives deeper insight into what the industrial era was all about.
    Carriage riding is also something that the game adds and its similar to Grand Theft Auto where you can hijack other people's carriages and ram into other NPCs, shoot other NPCs and other activities.

    This game also allows you to build up your own gang, which I found to be very fun and what I spent most of my time and resources on. Building a gang is expensive and will definitely consume most of your income and resources if you're not using them on upgrading your inventory. The gang is also quite noticeable in areas that you conquer, Having a gang allows you to recruit to 5 of them to fight for you which is quite similar to GTA San Andreas gangs. You can upgrade these gang members and there presence and what kinda weapons they can use.

    Overall
    Assassin's Creed Syndicate is by far one of my favorite games of 2015 and is a huge improvement over 2014's disappointing and crap Assassin's Creed Unity which i would give a 4 outta 10

    8.5/10 Awesome

    A slight return to greatness.
    Assassin’s Creed Syndicate tells the story of twin assassins Jacob and Evie Frye
    You can freely switch back and forth between the 2 to complete tasks around the city and to free roam, but each is unique in their ability and have their own specific story missions to give you a feel for both.
    There is a very simple skill tree and leveling system here, but Jacob and Evie only have a few unique skills, such as Evie having the ability to go invisible while in sneak mode, which I found no use for at all in the main campaign considering the majority of the story’s quests belongs to Jacob.
    Jacob specializes in combat compared to evies stealth.
    He wants to rile up a gang and take control of London.
    Gaining control is really where the different character styles can come into play,
    I found myself looking to Evie to free the children in factories., for everything else I just stuck to Jacob.
    There are technically a variety of tasks here such as bounty hunts where you kidnap a target or kill them and take them in for a reward, Templar hunts where you’re tasked with killing a or 2 Templar enemies, and strongholds where you just clear them out.
    I appreciate the child liberation missions because they give a sense of time beyond the themes and skins, but for the most part there’s nothing special about these side activities. It’s the same thing we’ve got year after year since Brotherhood but with new names.
    After you’ve done all activities in a section of the map a gang leader challenges you and then you take on a rival gang to finally claim the section for your own.
    As you progress through the story you’ll also be able to do train robberies and steal cargo, these tasks are important because Syndicate also feature an annoying quote un quote crafting system.
    Its fairly easy to get money in syndicate from main missions and your vault, but its super annoying to have so much and not be able to spend it because you don’t have the needed materials, so your only choice is go do a boring mission or purchase a material pack with real life money.
    You can’t buy weapons or items from a store, you can only craft them.
    This obviously was put into the game to take advantage of people only interested in the fun aspects of assassin’s creed. And escorting cart after cart isn’t it.
    Speaking of carts, there are now horse drawn carriages you can hijack and ride around the city, very fun to play around with and makes traversing the city much faster I only used fast travel 2 or 3 times in my entire time playing, that’s how much I loved riding through London smashing things.
    If you want to stick to feet, there’s another tool introduced, the grappling hook.
    It’s been apparent that assassins creed has been chasing batman with the past 2 entries, no spoilers, but there was clear penguin influence in last year’s game with one villain, and there’s clear joker influence in this year’s game with another,, and here we are with the ability to grapple our way out of a stick situation, or zip line from building to building and create our own air assassination opportunities, however the grappling hook doesn’t work quite as good as one would hope.
    Maybe I’m spoiled by batman, but I’m not a fan of searching for a prompt before I can use my hook, I want to be able to just press the button and go... sometimes this does work that way, but a lot of the time you’re awkwardly waiting for you to zip out of there and nothing happens.
    Sometimes you’ll look up at edges and a prompt just won’t show up... I was skeptical of this tool at first, but came to love and appreciate it... it does need some work though,
    Speaking of needing work the campaign.
    The story in syndicate is decent, but the delivery of this story, not so much…

    Every main Assassin’s Creed Game has a special moment, a special introduction to a character and their development as an assassin.
    Assassins Creed Syndicate dives right in, it treats Jacob and Evie Frye like we’ve gotten other games with them, as if they are developed and well known character, but they aren’t, we know nothing other than they are twins, you get a sense of their sibling rivalry throughout the game, but a prologue into the characters would’ve made me care for these characters.
    Any sort of character development at all to be honest would be greatly appreciated,
    New characters can’t just be automatically established, it would be like starting the ezio trilogy with brotherhood
    It’s like meeting a friend of your friend at a party and told to hang out with them for 20 hours.
    They cry about their problems without giving you a reason to care.
    I didn’t at all.
    Not for a second did I care about these characters, or about London…
    I felt no urgency to do anything.
    This is the first time I’ve ever played an assassins creed game and not care of its outcome.
    However it was nice to see Assassins creed slightly inch its way back to what made it great and such a guilty pleasure to begin with.
    The team at ubisoft seem to actually be listening to fans, modern day is more prevalent this time and they even brought Desmond back! As a dog. But seriously, the modern day story is the best it’s been since Assassins Creed IV, still, nowhere near as good as it was in that game or the 5 games before it.
    There is a really neat section in this game that gives you more context to the modern day stuff but you aren’t even told about, you kind of have to find it for yourself…
    It’s almost like they are embarrassed of their modern day story ties… its like modern day is their girlfriend and they wont accept her relationship request on facebook.
    But news flash ubisoft, the modern day is what gets people talking, it’s what brings us to your forums, it what gets people itching for more.
    If you want preorders, you need to up your game in this department or you risk losing your diehard fans to casuals that may or may not buy because cool 1868 brand theft auto.
    Campaign missions have greatly improved though.
    In terms of variety, this is the best we’ve gotten since assassins creed 3.
    No 2 missions felts the same, but all were lacking power. There were no epic moments in this game... not. Even. 1. Mission variety is important, but even Assassins Creed IVs tail mission after tail mission campaign was more enjoyable due to the pure epic moments that game delivered,
    the camping felt stale…
    Optional objectives are still here, and are getting better and better... but they need to be ditched.
    Someone needs to tell the people at ubisoft that optional objectives aren’t fun.. Oh wait... everyone does... every year... and they don’t listen.
    Why such an emphasis on stealth for a brute?
    For a game about assassinating, there are way too many don’t kill anyone objectives, sure that’s fine since we can knock enemies out, but let the player choose to handle the situation this way if they choose.
    Optional objectives are no better than annoying grading systems.
    I love that if you mess up enemies now run rather than you getting desynced, but seeing a red box flash across your screen nullifies this illusion of freedom.
    If micro transaction filled leveling systems can make sense in this universe, so can a lack of optional objectives. I’m even fine with desyncs for being detected every once in a while and stay your blade from the flesh of an innocent may be an awesome quote, but it doesn’t make for awesome gameplay. I was given awesome tools to stealthfuly take out enemies, and then I’m told not to use them. All in all, Assassins Creed Syndicate is an enjoyable time, but nothing special. Assassins Creed Unity had me excited for the future, but syndicate seemed to take a few steps back. For what it is Action Adventure Stealth 8/10 overall 8.5/10    … Expand

    WOW what a difference a year can make. Syndicate washes away the memories or should I say "the nightmares" that Unity was. London looks stunning.

    Honestly great game if your a fan of the franchise and looking for some of the best of what franchise has to offer and that is proven along with some new ideas to spice things up a little you will be more then happy with your purchase. You gonna have your haters and naysayers that either are still mad about Unity, just hate ubisoft period hence the bad scores of 0 for example, or that simply don't understand that you gonna get exactly what it is another AC title with every sequel that progresses the story some more while adding some new ideas and different location for historian fans as well as AC fans. If you want a different game then don't buy a sequel what did you think it was gonna be. When a franchise is successful fans want more of it not less and obviously enough fans buy every sequel for them to want to develop another sequel every year or two because gaming is a business and if the franchise was unsuccessful and not selling that we wouldn't see a sequel every year or two that's for sure so those who dislike it or want something different are clearly in the minority. So do yourself a favor and always try a game for yourself or very least watch some videos on gameplay and what not and don't decide solely by reviews as you can't always trust reviews these days between the fanboys or amount of magazines and reviews getting paid and having something to gain from writing up a favorable or non favorable review nothing beats trying the product or in this case game for yourself and then deciding as I always tell people. Plus don't know what kind of TV some people are playing on but the graphics are more then good compared to unity and a real beautiful game and there is no immersion braeking going on either you can still swift kill enemies unlike what one reviewer said in a review I read. So far I have liked AC1, AC2, AC3, black flag, Rogue, and Syndicate and only reason Unity isn't on the list is because of its bad launch and how broken it was because after they fixed a lot of what was broken Unity actually wasn't a bad game just to much focus on multiplayer in my opinion aside from bugs.

    Having said that the game is good like every assassins creed normally is and not broken or riddled with bugs like Unity was and like the hidden gem that Rogue was last year this sequel benefitted from not having all the multiplayer junk Unity had and tried to push onto players. Don't get me wrong I would love to have a true coop mode with Syndicate like that of for example Resident evil 5 had where one player could be Jacob while another could join you and play as twin Evie during missions and I think it would have worked well but hey not a big deal. I would have liked game to have abit more customization and progression like past AC titles have had I mean even Unity felt like it had lot more customization,progression, and a bigger selection with gear as I found this sequel to have less in those areas. You quickly notice that it does not have enough variety of weapons for an AC title I mean they could have had more variety of weapons including knifes and swords aside from just three types in weapons selection and just one type in firearms nevermind how light the belts, outfits, and etc was too. Don't know why this was the case but maybe they plan to add more of a variety through DLC or at least I hope so but other then that so far fun and great game with plenty of great sights of London and plenty to do with both of the twins just wish game storywise was a bit longer but then again they develop a new title every year or two so I can't complain and can't wait to see what era and location in history do they use with next sequel being big fan of history makes this one of the few titles I look forward too when it comes to exploring different times of history and interacting with important figures of those times as well and I love it. It's so great how they fit history and different eras into each sequel and make it work with their story that they are trying to tell nevermind educating as well for people who might not know so props to Ubisoft and developers on that as I feel this is one of the biggest reasons fans love assassin creed and look forward to sequels.

    Lastly reason most fans don't care how fast sequels are released is because if the game is good then it doesn't matter how long a game takes to be developed on the fact is the length of time it takes to develop a game does not guarantee or mean it will be better or worst as talent and amount of resources a game has is still most important as there are many examples of games being bad even after taking so long to be developed and vice versa. Keep in mind that big publishers like ubisoft, ea, and activision for example have some of the best talent and multiplie teams of developers making it possible for them to not only work on multiple games and franchises but deliver games a lot faster    … 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]
