Assassin's Creed: Syndicate

Deeply annoying that you can't re-load at certain points. I was supposed to kidnap someone, the mission was going really well, dropped the body whilst I assissinated someone but instead it was the "Kidnapee" I killed. Amusing, but annoying af that you can't go back.

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.

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.

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..

This game is absolutely class.

I was very sceptical at first considering the monumental f**k up that Unity was but this isn't like that at all. The main characters make a really good combo and they add a nice bit of British humour to it which is reminiscent of Ezio Audtiore/Edward Kenway. The graphics are on-point and the combat is really smooth and fluent (and quite brutal as well).

I'm about 2/5's through the game after completing lots of side missions before actually progressing through much of the story at the moment (let's face it, who just dives through the story without getting every viewpoint and upgrading your character to almost max) and looking forward to more of it. The only reason i didn't give it 10 is because the formula is the same as every other AC but if their aim is to push one out every year then i highly doubt that's going to change anytime soon.

UPDATE: I've now finished the main story campaign and i was absolutely blown away at how good the story was. It also ties in with the main endgame that kept you playing through Ezio's timeline so i'm now looking forward to the next one. Really hoping it doesn't disappoint!
