    Assassin’s Creed Syndicate is a fantastic game. Let me repeat that: It’s a fantastic game. The lingering control issues (and even these are minimized) and some minor pacing issues as a result of the two-protagonist approach can’t taint this gargantuan project.

    A triumphant return to form for a franchise, and presents a beautifully structured tale with heart and soul to spare.

    The game's high production values were a bit diminished by the series' longstanding fallacies, such as random lag and instances of poor texturing, but London remains a gorgeous place to visit.

    The Assassin's saga is starting to feel a bit tired when it comes to structure and gameplay, but Syndicate does pretty much everything that Unity tried to do better (well, except for the multiplayer, completely taken out of the game), and grabs the player's attention with great characters and finally a decent storyline. Also, the virtual London is splendid, but you expected that, right?

    Assassin’s Creed Syndicate gets more right than it gets wrong, but in trying to amend some of the sins of the series, it exacerbates the issues instead of offering a cure. Despite that rather lengthy list of cons at the bottom of my review, one thing’s for sure: Assassin’s Creed Syndicate is still a hell of a lot of fun.

    Syndicate is a massive shame. Ubisoft’s yearly development cycle is really beginning to leave its mark on the series. Assassin’s Creed has been good. It is a series that can be great, but unfortunately Syndicate is a misstep. For a series concerned with making its players historical tourists, it is ironic that it is so stuck in the past.

The characters are well written, familiar gameplay mechanics such as the whistling and being able to pick up bodies is back, the story has clever links to the story of the other AC games, the modern day is better and actually goes somewhere (albeit the ending is absolute wank) and the side missions are implemented well into the goal of the main story.… Expand

Everything that was good in ACU is improve in this one. The twins are wonderful and for the first time we have a female assassin ! ACS is a return to form in the Assassin's Creed franchise. Good things from the previous games are present in this one, improve once again. The story is far better than Unity's. Despite that I like it and Arno and Unity in general, ACS is better in almost all points. London is so big and so beautiful, we're literaly in the Victorian London ! The combat are way different than the previous game, harder and better. Buy this game !… Expand

Из достоинств хотелось бы отметить огромный открытый мир, атмосфера Лондона была передана успешно, интересные дополнительные задания. Из минусов: не самый интересный сюжет, в особенности миссии за Иви Фрай. За 50 часов игры было 3-5 критических ошибок, вы можете отнести их как к + так и к -, я все же отнесу это к минусам. Рекомендую приобрести игру либо сразу, либо докупить по скидке сезонный пропуск, и поиграть в отличное дополнение с Джеком Потрошителем. Рекомендую данную игру тем у кого нет большого количества времени для прохождения AS:Oigins и AS:Odyssey, а попробовать себя в шкуре ассасина хочется… Expand

I'm notIt's been a while since I last stepped into an Assassin's Creed game, the last one being Black Flag, though I barely touched it sadly. I'm not a big fan of the series, I do mostly enjoy Brotherhood and have very found memories of a much younger me playing it and the original back when they first released. Now where am I now with this game? It's pretty good. Not great, but with a solid visual and sound design for any average release these days. It's fun, and that's all you really can say about it. It's a pretty alright open world game, with fun things to do and an actual pretty decent story. I had fun with this game, and I guess that's all there really is to say about it.… Expand

    Typical repetitive Ubisoft crap. Amazingly cheap mission design and story. Avoid at all cost!
