    Thanks to AC Unity, the sales of Syndicate weren't the best. But, Ubisoft put a lot of work to avoid the same mistakes they made with Unity (even knowing that there are a few minor issues), besides the fact that have the ability to play with two different characters is very nice. If you haven't played Unity, I would say, try Syndicate you won't regret it.

    Another great Assassins Creed Release

    As I've found with the Assassins Creed saga, every other release is the one to play. This one has a great story line, excellent Victorian London side quests with prominent historical figures. The parkour aspects are improved with the rope line, making ascensions to the top of tall buildings quite rapid. The usual problem of where you're trying to run, or go up versus down exist again, but separating down versus up buttons does help a touch. More gadgets, improved weaponry, faster to level up to the maximum does help.

    I had grown weary of AC games after not enjoying 3 and Black Flag very much. I decided to give Syndicate a try after seeing some early game footage and I'm so glad I did. Syndicate is like going back to the older games with the story, characters and pure fun. I have already put more than 10 hours into the game and there is still lots more to do.

    I've played all of the console AC games since the very first one, and I believe Syndicate is a solid AC game, maybe the best one in a while. I'm about 10 hours in and having a great time. Playing as two similar but distinct characters is a lot of fun. Graphics are great and the streamlined play mechanics are a welcome addition. The Grappling Gun is a lot of fun, although controls a tad inconsistently, at least compared to the Batman games. Overall: I'm very pleased with AC: Syndicate.

    I bought this game as a gift for the 240th birthday of the Marine Corps, and gave it to him a little early. He was like a kid on Christmas! He's already playing it and loves it better than the previous editions he's played already! If you're a wife/girlfriend wanting to get something for your gaming husband, this is a win!

    A return to form for AC

    After last year's Unity, which disappointed fans, AC is back with Syndicate. While I still like Unity, Syndicate does a much better job of taking advantage of current-gen tech, dialing back collectibles and removing multiplayer to focus on well-rounded single-player campaign that runs wonderfully.

    This is by far the best Assassin's Creed game that I have played. A lot of the features from some of the other games have been incorporated into the game play. There are some minor glitches but nowhere near as many as in the previous Assassin Creed games. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed playing it.

    If you've been on the fence since the debacle that was Assassin's Creed Unity, put your worries to rest because with Syndicate Ubisoft has really upped their game and returned AC to the great series that it once was. While there are still a few flaws, this is a major step in the right direction.

    I've played near 5 hours of the game, but have a ton of things left to do, of course. But this game feels so much like AC2 and Brotherhood, which is to say it feels great. That was the height of the series to me, and it's great to see that the team can bring out that magic again.

    Huge fan of the series, love the DLC - looking forward to tracking and ending Jack the Ripper. Game play is smooth and beautiful on PS4 - little bit forced opening, but quick into sand box of London and waiting to unlock and climb Big Ben - if you are a fan - don't miss out!

    I have played the Assassins Creed series since the first game and continue to enjoy following characters in each new installment. This has been no exception, and I am enjoying the brother / sister dynamic and the ability to switch between them and level them up individually.

    I love the time period that this game is taking place in. The scenery is very detailed. The game play has been a bit improved upon since Unity, but takes some getting used to. The fact that you can switch between two characters at will is amazing. Love the game so far!

    This was a great game, I really don't even know what the complaint about the ending is. I thought the ending was great, and in general enjoyed this game more than any Assassin's Creed other than Black Flag. The only part I didn't care for was the carriages.

    This is probably the strongest entry the series has had in a while. The concentration on single player along with controlling two characters definitely worked well. The continuation of the underlying story about precursor civilization was also really good.

    This game is similar to the last several entries in the AC saga. This time around there are drivable carriages and zip lines though. Nowhere near as many glitches as AC Unity. Although the basic firmuka is the same, if you're s fan of the series es you will enjoy this game. The upcoming DLC looks to be promising with the addition of a Jack the Ripper mission. Overall great game!
