Assassin's Creed Syndicate Standard Edition - Xbox One

Didn't let me down its GREAT! Buy it as a gift!!!!

I know the Assassin Creed games have not been the most popular since it first came out but Assassin Creed Syndicate has really stepped up the notch. The graphics looks great, the story is well thought out, and the new weapons are just a bonus. The upgrade system is a lot better than past games and makes you focus on nor just yourself but the gangs you control throughout London. For the price you can't beat this game and made me remember why I use to love the Assassin Creed series.

I’m not done playing the entire game, but so far it’s been very enjoyable. The graphics are rich and smooth, and the storyline has been interesting. 

Yes, folks, the hype is real: everything wrong with the franchise has been dealt with on some level to make this iteration of the AC story one of the best (subject to your genre interests- I really liked ACIII). Of course, any game can become monotonous and tedious because games are meant to be based around one mechanic. The "great" games are those who mask it so well you don't think about the mechanic (e.g.: climb a building, jump down, kill a person, ad nauseum). AC Syndicate has a great story arc and awesome graphics (haven't noticed any glitches yet), fluid character transition between the brute Jacob and his stealthy sister Evie Frye, and last but not least, missions that are fun and engaging the whole time. I gave it 4 stars simply because the one thing they haven't changed is the one-shot feeling of quests. Normally not a bad thing, but it prevents me from being connected for very long. Basically, when you complete a mission, there is nothing to pull you along except pining for micro-transactions which can be purchased with in-game currency (the grind that pulls you along) or real money. When I complete a mission, sometimes boredom sets in faster than I'd like so I pick a new game to play. That should occur, hence 4 stars. But, it's still a very fun game to visit often so I awarded it 4.5 stars (not a real option). If you're a fan of the series or if you're burned out on previous iterations, this one is definitely worth picking up and getting hooked back in with.

he graphics are amazing on its own and for a game made. The variety of skills there are to choose from while keeping it easy to get skill points is awesome. Most assassins creed games focus too much on the main story and this game is the most open world in the series. Exploration is really fun with historical sights like big ben and more. On top of that if you choose to main the story even that is super enjoyable since the missions for the story have open-world aspects too.

I picked up AC: Syndicate on sale a few weeks back, along with Halo 5 - both were $30, thereby making it effectively a Buy One Get One, in practice. If I consider the price point that I picked it up for, this new AC is a pretty good buy - there is some evidence of weathering for the franchise overall and perhaps a few missteps, depending on who you ask (The AC 'Chronicles' titles), but the story is consistent and the narrative does progress - besides, it takes place in Victorian England. And while, I shouldn't rate the title based on the content of DLC, it should be noted that the studio opted to include a story involving Jack the Ripper.

I haven't played a game from this franchise in a while but I'm glad this was the one I jumped back in on. Classic Assassins Creed game play with updated graphics, fighting sequences, and a whole new world. They bring in a great historically accurate, yet fictional cast of characters, as well as hide some gems to keep you locked into the game. Hours of fun and a total steal at the $15 I paid for it on Black Friday. I'm excited to see what's next.

I bought this game in-store for my son for Christmas, and he loves it. The buying experience was great, even for the holidays. Friendly associates, clean store, inventory was good for that time of year. I don't play video games, but I enjoy watching him play Assassin's Creed because of the graphics, the storyline, the historical facts and accuracy, and the way you are able to move the character around through the game. Great buy!
