    Currently I have only seen bugs in a cut scene where players don't show up, and a crowd calling for help when a dead NPC wasn't on the ground. Since this only came out a little while ago I forgive them.    … Expand

    For me personally, this is a great surprise. Very very good game. Actually one of the best in AC series. Both main heroes are great and funny. The main vilain is also very charismatic and plot is simple and good. As any game of AC series, it has its lows but in the end this game is great fun and i highly recommend it.

    Finally a real A.C. on the market, fun to play, solid mechanics, 2 assassins as main characters and a satisfying story to tell.
    Even if is not the best AC game of all time at least it's worth to play it, no doubts.

Now that I've completed the game, I can honestly say that this is the best AC so far in my opinion for number of reasons. Firstly, devs now finally realize that sandbox levels are the way to go with AC, and they have made the stealth mechanics fast paced and less frustrating from the previous games. You have number of methods to dispatch your enemy and all of the mechanics are cool. The setting is very immersive and possibly my favorite one in the series. The characters are all memorable and show wide range of emotions from the emotionally disturbed past protagonists. Finally, the game is just a blast - there are plenty of side missions and all are fun, and the story missions are all varied and offer player freedom. I think this game is the biggest surprise of 2015 for me. Ignore the haters and give this a try.… Expand

    Great game! :D
    I really love the Assasin´s Creed Franchise, and this is one of the best games in the series yet. It doesnt beat Assasin´s Creed 2, but it's close to be nearly as good.
    Love the games 2 main characters and they have their own personality and main goal in the game and it's that you can actually feel the difference between these 2 assasin's, they also have a real brother    Great game! :D

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.

    Plaonly this is a better game, yet i can't help but feel AC really needs a year off to rejouvinate.    … Expand

    A bit better than Unity; Still too many characters with their own story (Marx? Darwin? Why do we need them?). Dialogs are idiotic, or main characters are idiots - agree to do things before they understand what they are doing and why. Why I think so: I compare it to Ezio's series. Why Ezio's games were the best? Because you lived the story of Ezio yourself. Now you just do parkour.

The protagonists are just stereotypes of young rebels, the mission design is monotonous and boring. What Ubisoft gives us about the First Civilization and the Templar-Assassins-Conflict is a joke. Additionally the developers made the game much more brutal and put the fighting in the centre of the gameplay. This is no more a stealth game. This is no more an Assassin´s Creed.

    I was very disappointed with Unity. It had little to no satisfaction for me when playing, especially when taking down enemies with its strange, awkward and janky animations in combat. At first glance I thought Syndicate was a literal carbon copy. I decided to play it for myself and I was pleasantly surprised with how much fun I've had thus far with the game.

At first glance I thought Syndicate was a literal carbon copy. I decided to play it for myself and I was pleasantly surprised with how much fun I've had thus far with the game. In direct comparison to Unity (in both my subjective and objective thoughts about it), that's not a difficult battle to win however.
    First of all the characters are enjoyable, I can see how one might find Jacob irritable, but Evie is definitely a joy. One thing that seems quite small and yet left me smiling to myself was 'sneaking' for the sheer fact that it steps in the direction of having togglable hoods. There's a strange satisfaction of sneaking onto a blighters boat, sabotaging their goods and then hoping off and watching Jacob pull the hood down and put his hat back on like he's a normal bloke. Now, I'm also not one that cares about graphics but these are definitely the best I've seen for Assassins Creed. A section near the beginning of the game had me within an establishment climbing on industrial pipes and whatnot; The lighting that came through the windows was visually stunning to me (It was very reminiscent of the beautiful whimsical lighting in AC2) while I find London itself to have an appealing melancholy look to it.
    Without dragging on; While I don't agree with the yearly churn-out of the franchise, this is a massive improvement and the most fun I've had playing Assassins Creed in a long time. If you don't have an estranged vendetta against Ubisoft then I recommend picking up the game. If you are of the group I mentioned however, I have a feeling you will try to dislike the game no matter what.    … 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

    Nothing new in graphics, repetitive and annoying sound (I had to mute it when no dialogs) It is the worst story of all Assassin's Creed. Like in previous Assassin's Creed released last year: bugs and more bugs.

The series could be so much more than what it is now. It is almost criminal to release such an unambitious, dull, joyless, repetitive and unsurprising game. Ubisoft even succeeded in the paradoxical feat of creating a game that feels exactly like the previous games gameplaywise, but does not have any part of the poetic soul that maked AC so great. My score is a red card. Please Ubi, I implore you to innovate. Stop making so dull games, AC games could be great, as they were at the beginning. But it needs to abandon the old formulas and templates of AC2. Make the world feel realistic and alive, make it systemic, with good AI, let us create informer networks, speak to npc's... Let the player be clever, add some emergent gameplay and good assassinations missions (in the Hitman style). Stop with all those on-screen indications as it totally breaks the immersion. Let us find the solutions by ourselves. Give us more freedom and opportunities : as I said, let us be clever. I want to be rewarded because I made something cool and the game responded to me, not because I've done what the game expected me to do."… Expand

    Two characters (2different build but the difference is unknowticeable)

    Now for cons-
    -graphic down grade. This dosnt mean graphic is shyit. Compare to todays standard its just average
    Its acceptable. But ac always had beutifull graphic comepare to fellow other games, I enjoyed going
    To high buildings and take a smoke break while I look at the beutiful atmosphere, but syndicate england
    Looks plain ugly with graphic down grade mixs with polluted city setting.
    -terrible ending. Really? I was expecting unavoidable conflict between two protagnist, due to their
    Differnt personality and a heart breaking shocking choice which one had to kill the other
    With some unexpectable twist. But syndicate went for classic fight together and win happy ending. Truely boring and one of the worst ending of all time.

    If you liked previouse ac game you might like this.
    But if you nvr liked ac so much or you kind grew bore to this repetetive game
    Every year, chances are you probly wont enjoy that much.
    There many changes but they are minors the basic game play is same as befor

    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]
