    La jugabilidad me gustó muchísimo, al igual que la ambientación, la historia fue el apartado que me pareció más pobre y alguna que otra misión repetitiva, no es el mejor Assassins creed pero tampoco es el peor

    The worst assassin's creed game ever! I did not enjoy this at all. It's ridiculous...

    O combate é bom, mas a história é estúpida.

O parkour ficou muito mais ou menos, por conta do novo gancho, eles simplesmente ignoraram todas as mecânicas de parkour do Unity (que podiam ser aperfeiçoadas). Os personagens não são nada cativantes e são bem vazios, pra fazer a gente gostar de um personagem não basta só ficar mandando piada e momentos engraçadinhos o jogo inteiro, eles tem que ter uma história e motivos convincentes, e Jacob e Evie não tem isso. Eles praticamente são assassinos porque querem, vão escondidos até Londres sem seu mentor saber ou mandá-los e nada acontece. Eles matam sem precisar colher informações, são jogados em missões aonde já se sabe tudo e todo o desfecho e não tem consequências se fazem merda. O jogo inteiro é toda uma zoação sem sentimento, do que adianta morte e destruição só por isso mesmo? Os outros jogos têm paixão nos personagens, você consegue definir bem as relações deles e sentir o que eles sentem, os jogos têm consequências e esse não tem nenhuma, parece coisa do MCU. Pelo menos a soundtrack é braba.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Controls and camera are horrible. Music is downright shoddy. Many of the extra requirements for missions are very unclear leading to lot's of failures because you just don't know what is expected, so often times you spend vast amount of time to complete the first extra requirement only to take one mistep with the other and you lose all the extra rewards. Last fight is really a blooper, worst in the series. And the biggest crime is that in the end all the trouble you wenth through was for nothing.… Expand

However i really enjoyed this assassins creed because of how polished it is and how much effort you can see has gone into the game. The map is decent sized and getting around it is pretty straightforward. you can go around on a carriage and use the grappling hook. which is something that was very cool to introduce to the assassins creed universe. pretty much everything about this game runs smoothly. the combat feels satisfying, the climbing feels fluent and fantastic. and the city of victorian london feels very alive. the side missions are fun and interesting and contain some of histories most interesting people. they're very engaging and have a lot of personality and variation which is something ubisoft tend not to do. As with playing a lot of assassins creed games you feel compelled to dig deeper into the history. victorian london is definetly a interesting setting and i'm pretty sure the developers knew it was a no brainer. As for the actual characters Eve and Jacob fry are okay. They're a bit cheesy but they have colourful personalities and the writing for them isn't too bad. the musical score is fantastic and i always enjoyed hearing it in the background of a fight or a chase. This is also the first assassins creed which introduced the levelling up system and although its not too crippling and its pretty lenient when compared to origins i still remain with the opinion that assassins creed doesn't really need an rpg style level cap system and it would probably be a more interesting game without it. the activities that need to be done in order to level up can be considered tedious and it'd be better if it was a bit more varied. despite that i really enjoyed the game, its story, the characters, the music, the design of the city and loved the history.… Expand

    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.

    Overall, Syndicate redeems the franchise after it's predecessor's mistakes and has me eager for the next Assassin's Creed game.    … Expand

The lousy and buggy 'level design', combined with what is possibly the worst AI in the history of modern video games, firmly cements Syndicate in mediocrity. The various assassination scenarios for instance, are poorly executed as they lack proper dedicated code and scene direction. This instancing and spamming of the various mechanics and scenarios across the open-world is disappointing. This is made that much more evident when compared against Unity, which boasts far superior level design, controls, story, pacing, and overall polish. Yes, Unity was buggy, and yes it still has frame-rate issues, but underneath all that there is a good game made with a lot of care and attention. Go play that instead.… 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

    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]
