Assassin's Creed: Syndicate

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.

This is one of the best AC games in my opinion. To be fair, I have not played through all of them, but this one has far superior combat to any predecessor (except perhaps Black Flag). The story remains fairly interesting as opposed to many AC games that really suffered from poor story. The massive London map is beautiful, detailed, and a joy to explore. If you are looking for the greatest Assassin's Creed gameplay, I would recommend either this one or Black Flag.

A significant improvement in gameplay to many of its predecessors but probably lacking more in terms of storyline to others. I still enjoyed the game but I certainly didn't feel as emotionally invested in the outcome or completely hooked in like others in the series not the best they've done but not the worst either if you enjoy the series you'll almost certainly enjoy this.

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.

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.
