    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

    Assassin's Creed Syndicate is both a significant improvement and a downgraded version of Assassin's Creed Unity. The combat is excellent, especially being the first game in the series to feature triple and quadruple finishers. Evie Frye is the first Assassin's Creed female protagonist to be acclaimed, and Jacob Frye is too hilarious for me. He looks dumb, but still is so strong. How many times can these twins break anyone's limbs?! The parkour looked more realistic, and thank god we don't have to fall down accidentally. The grappling hook was more useful as it's set in London, where there are high buildings. London has one of the best settings ever and the graphics ran well in my Xbox One. Overall, Assassin's Creed Syndicate is one of the best video games in this franchise, and I say it's an improvement over Assassin's Creed Unity. I'd rate it a 9.1/10.    … Expand

    Impressive combat system, with a big variation of weapons to use, but the characters are forgettable, nothing that can make the player remember in the future the characters used and the ones you fight.

    Очередная ассасинская история отправляет нас в Лондон викторианской эпохи и Промышленной революции. Играем за близнецов Иви и Джейкоба Фрай, которые верою и правдой служат ассасинскому ордену, и в какой-то момент решаются вырваться из глубинки и очистить Лондон от тамплиерской заразы, плотно засевшей в столице Англии.

Играем за близнецов Иви и Джейкоба Фрай, которые верою и правдой служат ассасинскому ордену, и в какой-то момент решаются вырваться из глубинки и очистить Лондон от тамплиерской заразы, плотно засевшей в столице Англии. Лондон в Синдикате прекрасен, погружаешься в эпоху перехода от лошадок к паровым двигателям с головой. Всё выглядит очень здорово: Темза забитая пароходами и всякими баржами которые снуют туда-сюда, железные дороги по которым паровозы, устало пыхтя, суетно тащат за собой изящные вагончики, по мокрым улицам гоняют кареты и прочие разнообразные экипажи. Вот тут просто придраться не к чему, носишься по этой всей красоте и действительно кайфуешь. Что же касается геймплея - по сути те же яйца только в профиль. Из нового отметим появление уровня мощи у врагов, то есть пока ты находишься на первом соваться к врагам уровня четвертого совершенно не стоит, так как это может кардинально отразиться на вашем здоровье. Арсенал протагониста также изменился - теперь главные орудия боя это кукри, трость и кастет, исходя из чего и боёвочка выглядит по-новому, хотя как по мне, фехтовальные поединки раньше были эффектнее. Прокачка всего боевого добра и способностей стандартная и не далеко ушла от той же Unity. Да, у нас теперь появляются на улицах приспешники и вместе с этим новая система улучшения скилов своей банды, но если честно лучше вкладываться в своего персонажа, при хорошей реакции и сопоставимом уровне соперника можно их укладывать десятками, а наши Грачи скорее нужны дабы отвлечь внимание в определенных миссиях. У аркхемского Бэтмена позаимствован тросомет, благодаря которому стало веселее перемещаться между домами. Гонки на каретах занятие тоже весьма забавное. Сюжет в меру интересный, но без особого восторга. Игрового процесса вместе с допами много, так что внезапно всё не оборвется, успеете всем насладиться, если конечно пойдет. У нас всё пошло неплохо, опять же без восторга, но это было действительно интересно и увлекательно!… Expand

    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.

    The end of the classic AC style. There has never been such a monotonous and tough game in the series until 2015.
    Today I played it again and had the same feeling as an Odyssey.
    The game is just extremely monotonous and boring. At that time there were no fresh ideas to turn things around. That the botch ends up in XBox Gold. The icing on the cake is the controls that are more suitable for a tank.

    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

    Those who love Assassin's Creed will find plenty to enjoy in this game. Fun characters, excellent combat, and 2 characters to offer more options for a gameplay style. This world feels alive in a way many previous games haven't had. Traversing the environment with the grappling hook is especially fun.

You follow two characters with different goals but the only conflict in the game between the characters is that they want different things and their father. There are no stakes to any of the arguments, they do not affect the game in any manner. The conflict between the main characters holds no weight as they have no effect on the game. The characters themselves are just so bland that they make the main story insufferable. The story is cliche with some awful dialogue. Worst of all, any momentum the game tries to build is immediately stopped by the god-awful story. The free roam in this game is useless because the map is so small that running around in the city gets very boring very quick

    The gameplay is very bad. The combat is very boring and uninspired. The stealth in this game is horrendous. There is no need for a player to be stealthy while playing a stealth mission. The main problem in this game is that there are no stakes. If you mess up, just run away from the fight and everything is reset. The final boss fight is repetitive.

    The gang wars in this game are boring, you would expect them to be a grand event filled with great action that gets your blood pumping, however, that is not the case. You fight a handful number of enemies and you are done.

    The textures in this game are well done and the city looks great, however, the map is so small that free running is dull. There no interesting sets in this game, everything is flat. There is no reason the game should have two main characters. The game says that one is stealthier than the other but in reality, their fighting style is more or less the same.

    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 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

    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.
