Assassin's Creed: Syndicate

Honestly, I came not knowing what to expect and stayed for one of the best games I had ever played. In fact, I could go on enjoying it for months.

Let's start with what stroke me first, which is, of course, the Victorian London. Saying 'it's breathtaking' would be an understatement. Even if you decide to explore the city first, you will never be bored exploring/looting/conquering, before embarking on main campaign.

As for the story-telling, Assassin Creed Syndicate is another pinnacle of perfectly executed cut scenes and voice acting. The writing and the execution are simply phenomenal, no other way to put it. The game is so immersive and addictive, I wouldn't even mind replaying it from scratch.

You'll most likely love this game whether you're a fan of the franchise or not. I'll go ahead and call it 'the second true Ubisoft masterpiece after Far Cry 3'. Being my first Assassin Creed experience (not counting 'Origins'), now having finished it I'm ready to play just any title in the series.

Assassin Creed Syndicate could've easily been the Game Of The Year, or least get a 'Must-Play', very surprised it didn't. It's not just one of the best games I've played, not just one of the most beautiful games, but one I will definitely play even after getting the platinum trophy.

i was very excited to play this game after buying it a few months after release. i am quite new to the series but have played enough to be able to compare the games. this game features stunning graphics that craft a beautiful game.

An easy to follow storyline that never gets boring keeps our interested with some great plot twits. playing as two assassins was very fun and enjoyable.

likable main protagonists that have good chemistry and are quite funny at times was a good thing to add to the list of pro's in this game

overall it is definitely a huge improvement over unity, that has reinvigorated the franchise

if you are thinking about buying this game do it and you wont be disappointed.

Compared to other great Assassins creed games like AC 2/black flag and brotherhood this game is very average and deserves no more than a 6/10 but compared to all games in general it offers a lot in the way of fun. I spent around 80 hours playing the game but was to 100% it and if you're just interested in the story you will probably breeze through the game in no more than 15 hours. As with all Creed games we get the usual scattering of collectibles and busy work tasks to fill time, but that will only appeal to the completionists as it's not required. Gameplay is very solid and has very few bugs however if you've played most other Assassins Creed games you'll realise how much Syndicate holds your hand throughout and never allows you to fall from great heights or jump off buildings etc, instead it's guides you through in one of the most linear of open worlds I've played. That's not a bad thing but it's restrictive at times. The story does a decent job of keeping you entertained as you take over London burrough by burrough and help raise your gang to rule all of London and stop the templars from seizing power. imagine Gangs of New York but with assassin twins. The characters are a sticking point for many but I found Jacob and Evie Frye (Both playable) to offer something abit different than the usual one character that we normally get. However their personalities leave something to be desired. The customisation is limited buy does offer a few different outfit choices and new weapons like Kukris, Cane swords and brass knuckles. You can also change things like the colour etc. Skill points encourage you to push forward and gain new abilities and each twin has a few skills that are only applicable to them, for instance Evie has the ability to go invisible and is the more stealth based character while Jacob offers more damage in fights and is classed as the brawler. The graphics still hold up very well in 2021 and the map is a good size to keep you occupied. Overall a solid game that will keep you entertained for many hours but if you're a hardcore Assassins creed fan then you'll see there is some limitations in Syndicate compared to other games in the series, worth a shot and right now 25/2/21 AC Syndicate and all creed games are on sale on Xbox and steam.

What a trailer this game had truly amazing, I was totally hyped to play this as soon as it hit the shelves.

But all the excitement was welcomed by an above average game.

This is the most modern version of the AC game, I was truly exited to play this and honestly it does have some charms, the gritty and dirty London filled with Street thugs and cops was charming in it's own way. I also loved the addition of Marx and Dickens into the roaster of AC's Legendary figures from history.

But sometimes the repetitive tailing ,mission and lack of creativity for Assassination, loped out villain dialogues during fights and profoundly below par main Villain brings down the game quality quiet down.

Anyways being a diehard AC fanboy I will still give it a 7/10, Cheers..

The setting of 1868 London is beautifully created with a gritty "back alley" feel. Populated with colorful and interesting NPC's. It was a joy to explore. The characters dialogue and interactions were spot on. The story, while interesting, became lost amidst an endless barrage of formulaic side quests. Side quests that were essentially the same half dozen or so but on another section of map, which was barely distinguishable. Have you played the Godfather games? Grand Theft Auto? Don't expect there to be anything new here. The game play itself becomes repetitive after three hours, and painfully repetitive after six.

All in all, once the splendor of a dirty 1800's London wears off the game becomes a chore. Definitely worth a play, perhaps don't buy it and just play it at a friend's house for a few hours.
