    Après le Paris révolutionnaire, voici le Londres industriel de 1868 et le changement est drastique en matière d'ambiance et d'atmosphère mais également en termes de nouveautés. Londres est une ville désespérément vilaine, surtout à cette époque, ce qui nous fait regretter le glamour et le charisme de la ville-lumière ; néanmoins, le jeu reste techniquement très bien fait et bien agréableAprès le Paris révolutionnaire, voici le Londres industriel de 1868 et le changement est drastique en matière d'ambiance et d'atmosphère mais également en termes de nouveautés. Londres est une ville désespérément vilaine, surtout à cette époque, ce qui nous fait regretter le glamour et le charisme de la ville-lumière ; néanmoins, le jeu reste techniquement très bien fait et bien agréable graphiquement.

    La Londres de cet AC est aussi une ville évidemment nettement moins peuplée et agitée avec beaucoup moins de pnj, de mouvements de foule et d'attroupements spectaculaires. Elle se rattrape par son trafic très important de carioles et autres voitures à canassons sans compter le flux maritime ininterrompu sur la Tamise : on peut traverser le fleuve rien qu'en sautant comme un cabri sur toutes les embarcations, barges, bateaux et navires d'un bout à l'autre !

    Si la maniabilité est extrêmement semblable à ACU, ACS propose un grappin bien pensé, rapidement indispensable pour crapahuter de toit en toit... On peut pester sur la caméra -terrible en milieux confinés- comme dans le précédent AC mais le parcours est globalement assez fluide. La jouabilité reste identique au précédent -avec le grappin en plus- et ne souffre certainement pas la critique en tout cas.

    De nouvelles activités très intéressantes ont fait leur apparition avec le détournements de chariots, les escortes de cargaison, les enlèvements de personnages, les libérations d'enfants et les guerres de gangs... On a également des courses de voitures mais l'IA triche beaucoup trop pour qu'on puisse en tirer quelque satisfaction. Des missions se déroulent aussi sur des tchoutchous mais ça reste anecdotique. On peut recruter au fur et à mesure de la libération de la ville jusqu'à 5 hommes de main, une aide assurément très utile mais pas autant que les assassins auxiliaires d'ACB puisqu'il faut d'abord à chaque fois leur faire signe.

    La campagne est partagée entre le frère et la soeur, le frère étant un bourrin, la soeur plus discrète via des compétences réservées ; en exploration libre, on choisit qui on veut et j'avoue que la petite Evy est l'un des avatars les plus réussis de la sempiternelle saga, mignonne mais indépendante. Le frérot est une tête à claques par contre.

    Le jeu est en français, pas en québécois comme l'AC parisien ! la musique est souvent inexistante mais cela vaut mieux, car elles s'avère vraiment ratée. La campagne ou plutôt l'espèce d'histoire qui la constitue est bateau et sans intérêt mais heureusement on peut zapper ces cinématiques ridicules. Elle reste cela dit bien fichue dans ses objectifs et sa variété. On regrettera une répétition certaine des activités et des repaires templiers pour libérer la ville, un défaut récurrent des Assassin's Creed...

    Et c'est sans compter le remplissage habituel de toutes les merdes à ramasser, coffres, lettres, bouquins, bugs hélix, affiches, boîtes à musique et j'en passe... (les putains de tours par exemple...). Du gros remplissage des familles donc et du farmage complétionniste très optionnel, car à part l'efficacité réduite de certains outils, rien ne nous empêche de buter ou d'assassiner des ennemis sensiblement supérieurs à notre niveau.

    Ce qui nous amène au combat, pas si mal implémenté ici mais qui repose beaucoup trop sur les combos à la con et la multitude de coups nécessaires, y compris dans les "coups de grâce" pour venir à bout des vilains. Alors, tout cela reste spectaculaire malgré des fenêtres de "contres" réduites, tout cela est fort rapide et furieux mais très en deçà du nouveau système de combat mis au point dans ACO.

    En résumé, Evy est sympathique et gracieuse mais l'histoire est lamentable et le combat toujours perfectible... ACS propose néanmoins une expérience de qualité et une ambiance étonnamment différente de son prédecesseur tout en préservant les acquis en matière de bonnes interface et maniabilité.    … Expand

    I loved the characters of the Frye twins who actually appear as people that we can relate to in the style of Ezio and Edward rather than the dull and stunted characters that we have been forced to play as in the past.

    Once again the future setting is getting pushed to one side and the game devs continue to listen to the casual gamer who demand "instant action" rather than the real fan base who fell in love with the games lore and want to have both an interesting "present day" reason to be invested in the story which gives a foundation as to why the player keeps needing to go back in to the animus.

    London setting is beautiful and has a very unique look and feel but I cant help but think that if only the game had more time then it would elevate the setting from looking nice to actually being incredible.

    As usual as this is a triple A game and more importantly this is a Ubisoft game, there is the usual season pass and mission add on's which all feel cut out of the main game and sold back to you.
    Whats worse is that if you purchase the season pass you characters get an XP boost that someone who doesn't buy the season pass doesn't get and so will face a much harder grind for money and materials which feels really unfair.

    Now that AC is being given a year off and will unlikely be a yearly release, this may reinvigorate the franchise and get things back on track that had sadly gone of the rails since the ending of AC3.    … Expand

    Pros:
    Both main characters are endearing on the whole. Evie was the first time, when given the option, I chose to play a female character....stealth all the way.

    Story, while draggy at times and not always on-point, is decent.

    Rope ladder/ dart can be a lot of fun.....standalone (see below)

    Side activities are the most varied and interesting they have ever been in an AC game....for me, this was the best part of the game.

    Cons:
    Really not a fan of playing 2 main characters....def an immersion fail....just bad.

    The addition of the rope dart/ladder, while fun on its own swinging around the city like spiderman, really takes from the game and is not why I play AC. To boot, the city was designed for this tool. Gone are the days when we would run rooftops.....on the whole, big fail for me.

    Possibly because of the rope ladder, the jumps in this game were really dumbed-down...I literally didn't miss 1 jump all game.....playing this was exactly like playing the last Tomb Raider (the current Tomb Raider is vastly superior).    … Expand

    Having played every Assassin's Creed game, this one was my least favorite, even beneath the much maligned Unity, which I thought got a bad rap because of bugs in its first month of release.

    The best thing about this game is the ability to switch between a male and a female character, and I cannot give Ubisoft enough credit for not making Evie a hyper-sexualized character, which seems    Having played every Assassin's Creed game, this one was my least favorite, even beneath the much maligned Unity, which I thought got a bad rap because of bugs in its first month of release.

    The best thing about this game is the ability to switch between a male and a female character, and I cannot give Ubisoft enough credit for not making Evie a hyper-sexualized character, which seems inevitable when dealing with female characters these days. Both characters are fun to play, and it is nice having two characters to customize with one having a stealth build and the other a melee build.
    My second favorite part of the game was the option to drive carriages. This is a fun dynamic and it keeps me from fast traveling everywhere. Why fast travel when I can send the citizenry of London screaming for their lives as I inevitably drive on the wrong side of the road?
    The bad parts of this game can be summed up with one word, repetition repetition repetition repetition repetition repetition. The scenery, while nice for a couple of hours, seems as though it was copied and pasted from one area to the next, and I could never tell you where I was among all of the identical looking buildings and people and trees and carriages without looking at my map. The Thames is nice, but again only for a few minutes because one section of the Thames is exactly like every other inch of the Thames.
    Maybe London was actually built this way, and maybe it really did have no variety compared to Paris or the Caribbean or a fledgling US, but as a game it was horribly annoying that everything looks the same. If this was trying to be historically accurate then they should have moved more things indoors or had locations out on the English countryside. There is a lot to go through in this game, but when every mission and every building and every person is the same it just gets really, really old.
    I know that AC games have traditionally used few character models over and over again, but in this one it really stood out. Looking into a group of 20 enemies and seeing 4 faces really takes you out of the game. Could they not have even changed up their clothing or given them different hats to make it a bit more subtle? Even end bosses and assassination targets are pulled from the same half dozen character models, so that when you "identify" your target instead of having interesting information you just say "yeah yeah yeah, him again."
    Another problem with the "liberation" missions, which make up the vast majority of side missions, is that while different on their face, when it comes down to it they are all exactly the same. First, kill everyone, second, complete whatever the goal of your mission is. After everyone is dead you may have to walk around and click B by a group of kids to set them free, or maybe after everyone is dead you press B by your "target" to kidnap him and walk painstakingly slowly with him to a carriage before driving to your destination, or maybe you kill all but one person, find the "Blighter Plans" and press B to burn them before killing the final person. By the end of the game I was just killing my kidnapping targets to get it over with, with 100% synchronization not being a goal for the first time in my long Assassins Creed history. Aside from the Liberation missions, every other mission ends up being pretty much exactly the same as the Liberation missions, with the added bonus of "protect your idiot target".
    Maybe, just maybe, if the stealth road were not so easy, the game would be more interesting, but the AI is so insanely stupid that the game is pitifully easy as a result. Kill thug A and thug B with a knife, thug C and D and E walk over to look at the dead bodies, kill thug C and D and E with a knife, your kidnap victim walks over, looks at the bodies, and apparently says to himself "Hmmmm, everyone seems to be dying of these odd throwing knives in their skulls, I will think this over a while while I pace my usual rounds." Often the side quest for completion is "Do not sound the alarm bell", which is a staple of AC games, but in this one you can have a pile of bodies around the alarm bell, another person will walk up, inspect the bodies, and then go about their business instead of ringing the freaking bell. How about a game where the enemies freak out when one of their number turns up dead beside them? That would have gone a long way to fixing what is wrong with this game.
    All in all I could not bring myself to give the game less than 6, though I keep finding myself playing Fallout 4, which I beat a long time ago, for the 4th or 5th playthrough to break up the monotony of AC Syndicate. The free running is beautiful, but has been made so easy that there is no challenge. The scenery is great for individual screenshots, but gets old fast. The characters are fun and interesting, but are stuck in a story that is not. All in all if I had never played this game I would not have missed much.    … Expand

Its a shame you cant do something like with the queen. The map to play in is massive and kudos to them but it feels like most of the map is filler to just have a big map and places to put collectibles, or maybe that's just me. The grappling hook is a great addition to the arsenal but it was kinda needed for all the traveling you had to do in London, just freeruning would get boring and monotonous. Comparing it to unity It's defiantly better, but its not the best it could be.

But thats about all that is good, yes the story every year is great, my problems with AC is not with the story. It has by far one of the greatest stories of any video game. My problem is with the gameplay and depth to their games. They need to focus on the details, adding a cover system (like tom clancy games), adding a 3 position system (prone, crouch, and standing), adding a quality stealth system which this franchise desperately needs, adding a more detailed and unique fighting system. People were so critical of Black Flag but at least they went outside the box for once, they can't keep doing this same pathetic 1 dimensional gameplay. Of course the movement (up and down buildings) and traversing the map in general is great as usual. If they concentrate on the gameplay they can really impress gamers but until then they will just release the same video games every year. I don't care if you have to take a few years to make the game, but this annual release of AC games shows they are just profit hungry.

    In this review, only the negative aspects of the game are considered. The purpose of this work is to help you to get a better decision on the purchase of the game

    My Rating: 7 of 10

    Weak points (Single player only):
    - The missions are tedious and repetitive
    - The storyline could have been much shorter and more exciting
    - Has basic glitches in physics and character control

    Solid meh, the game is ok but piss easy with the combat and stealth and the story felt boring. The grapple did feel great to use but the game is too big and you have to rely on the thing way too much game does look pretty tho.

    Negatives: The map makes parkour a bit slow (hence why the grapple is in the game). The story is not special in any way but keeps you entertained,
    There, with the negative out of the way now the positive.
    I thought this was a pretty fun game overall. Evie Frie is a great character, Jacob maybe a little less but is good enough. London is fun to explore. The gameplay is fun and graphics are good.

    In general, I was enjoying this game. However, cannot give more than 7 due to the story, which in my opinion was not great and a bit boring, but this is my opinion. On the other hand, I was really enjoying both Jacob and Evie and how different they were. As well the combat system and parkour were astonishing. But the top was 19th. century London, I was really enjoying running around theIn general, I was enjoying this game.

    An improvement over Unity. Especially in the story segment. The map is a solid size and London is shown quite realistically. Unfortunately the gameplay is quite repetitive, and most missions are very easy.

    Assassin’s Creed Syndicate é um jogo com uma historia principal nada especial, as missões secundarias do jogo são bem legais de serem realizadas, os vilões são medianos e não trazem nenhum medo ao jogador, os personagens principais são esquecíveis e não memoráveis

    This game has features that I think are the best in the franchise but its story and characters ultimately crumble in the end making it a pretty well polished game with some brilliant aspects.

    First off I played this for the first time in 2023 on Xbox Series X. Here are the positives: - Best stealth in any AC game. - Graphics look great even in 2023. - The map! Industrial London in the    This game has features that I think are the best in the franchise but its story and characters ultimately crumble in the end making it a pretty well polished game with some brilliant aspects.

    First off I played this for the first time in 2023 on Xbox Series X.

    Here are the positives:
    - Best stealth in any AC game.
    - Graphics look great even in 2023.
    - The map! Industrial London in the fall is beautiful. The lighting is stellar and the city feels alive. Steam boats constantly move down the thames that you can run across, cranes move barrels and cargo, dozens of buggies and people darting everywhere constantly. It feels very lived in and well realized. Maybe the best world design of any AC game. Super immersive.
    - The capstone assassination mission design. The sequence ending assassination missions are all stellar (except the last which I am mixed on). They have multiple objectives many different routes and ways to unlock special cinematic assassinations through exploration. Easily the best set piece/level design in the series.
    - Jacob and Evie’s relationship is fun.
    - Descent humor.
    - A good amount of side content, not too much not too little.
    - Carriage driving and carriage chase sequences are sick!
    - I like the villain.

    Negatives:
    - Poor range of weapons and upgrades.
    - Lame perk tree.
    - the ending mission is way too linear and offers no freedom. The final boss has good mechanics and is very cinematic but aesthetically feels the same as unity’s final boss.
    - Repetitive side content.
    - Story progression locked behind side content.
    -Jacob and Evie while entertaining leads are deep as a puddle. There is something’s interesting their with their parents but it never goes further than “you sound like father!” Or “Father would have done it that way.” The relationship dynamic and history is NEVER unpacked. They are entertaining leads but not interesting leads.
    - Story feels disjointed.
    - Modern narrative is completely pointless and boring (worse than usual).
    - the gang mechanics are rarely useful and often the mission sub objectives deter you from wanting to use gang members.
    - A crappy romance.


    The game is good, and has some content that is the best the series has had, but the story and shallow characters bring it down for me.    … Expand

    The combination of an interesting and diverse cast of characters and the entertaining and compelling story sit perfectly in the beautifully recreated 1860’s London. It doesn’t do everything to solve all the series’ problems, missions can feel repetitive and there are some minor AI bugs that will shatter the sense of immersion occasionally, but by taking a step backwards and removing much of the excess baggage that the series has accumulated over the years of annual releases, Syndicate has become the best Assassin's Creed since Brotherhood.

    Syndicate is a solid sequel that will delight fans of the series, but most likely will not draw new people to the brand. If only devs pay more attention to an optimization and get rid of repeatable tasks, the result could be significantly better. [Issue#258]

    It isn't a terrible game by any means, and I'd rank it much higher on the totem pole than the previous installment, Assassin's Creed Unity. But that doesn't change the fact that Ubisoft's latest assassin-centered story is only a few shades above mediocre.
