    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.

    Assassin's Creed Syndicate is a masterpiece. Syndicate is a open world game set in 1868 London main story is great and the side missions and activities are really good.

    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.

    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

    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 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

    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.
