Enjoyable new combat system. Graphics are very realistic. Familiar game play with some new additions and twists. A few bugs still need to be fixed though.

Not as good as black flag or AC2. Pretty fun & the addition of gangs gives some added fun to the game. The side quests are worth doing. I like the use of historical figures as you see in most AC titles. You have Bell, Darwin, Dickens, & Marks that add some exciting missions to the side of the story. The story is ok though the first hour you are sort lost to what is going on. Overall it's a step up from last year but as a AC fan I'm looking for more juice than filler.

Fun game to play! Goes back to what the game used to be when it first came out. Some glitches but not to bad. Overall I would give it an 8 out of 10.

Very fun and enjoyable AC in recent years. Fun story and the city of London as the background looks awesome. Dickens side missions are great too.

I've played a lot of Assassin's Creed games going back to the original. There was a feeling out process where features would come and go. Finally in Assassin's Creed Syndicate they got the perfect mix. There is just enough crafting, just enough stealth, a nice variety of missions and a awesome new grappling hook that is a tremendous addition to the climbing. This is everything you want in an Assassin's Creed game without the annoying follow and protect missions or ship/courier management. This game doesn't waste your time and is a joy to play.

Much bigger improvement from Unity. Still some bugs, but not many and a few new features that have livened the game from the rest in the series!

The last installment of Assassin's Creed was sub par. I have played every installment, at it was by far the worst. Syndicate, in my opinion has made up for it. The 2 character progression is a neat change of pace. The only complaint I would have is that the outfits have to be crafted, bought and upgraded separately from each character which can get expensive, but other than that, no complaints. Cinematic scenes seem more polished, and as always, great voice acting. Fans of the series will not be disappointed with this installment.

Been a fan of the Assassin's Creed games for a long time. Though I should start off my review by saying that I play games mostly for the story, not so much the game play.
That being said, I feel that this was the best game in the series following the Ezio trilogy. I really liked Unity a lot, and would have loved it had Arno been a bit better written. His character had potential, and it came out at times, but ultimately fell short. The story was great though.
Syndicate has it all, great characters in the headstrong and often wrong Jacob and the smart-as-a-tack Evie, wonderful story that was well woven together, seemlessly passing between the two characters to keep the monotony away. Solid controls and game play. Had a lot to do and unlike most of the other games, you had to put a LOT of time into getting it all done. 1 minor note in the negative column was that the villain was INCREDIBLY well written and just a joy to watch, the few times you ever saw him. Then you beat him and that's that. It was a little disappointing. They left it a bit open ended as to the fate of the twins and I REALLY hope they continue their story. It worked with Ezio, and it could REALLY work here.

My love for Assassin's Creed has dwindled over the past several years. Brotherhood was, in my opinion, the last great Assassin's Creed game. The quality diminished after that. With annual releases every year, it just missed the magic that the games had. But with Syndicate, they basically took everything that made the game boring and uninteresting and threw it out the window.
The game takes place near the turn of the 19th century, in Victorian England. You play as Jacob and Evie Frye who are already skilled assassin's as you start the game. The graphics look amazing on PS4 and so far, I've encountered zero bugs but I'm also playing the game a good 9 months after its release so they've had time to patch the game quite a bit.
I don't want to go to into detail with the game, but I will say as someone who loved the series from the beginning, this is a great game that is worth the price. Yes, even full price.

The Assassin's Creed series is good. I wouldn't ever say great, but it is a solid series. There was some weirdness here and there, and Unity was kind of a joke, but the series is definitely back on point with Assassin's Creed Syndicate.
You basically know exactly what you are getting, but this one does do some interesting things differently, namely the two assassins.
The DLC is probably the biggest slight against the game, but that's just me being nitpicky.
It's a great entry if you enjoyed the previous ones.
