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.

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.

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!
