    Best AC so far!

    Although mechanics are copy and paste from previous AC titles, Syndicate has a great feel for the era in which it is played. Historical references are spot on, and helps to thrust you into a generation of humble beginnings. That being said, general moves in the game are repetitive, but when played in short periods of time you will not get bored. Excellent addition to the franchise, and looking forward to future ones.

    Still the basic 'Assassins Creed' game but better story and not as glitchy as the others.

    Assassins Creed is starting to get long in the teeth. The story is floundering, the mechanics are getting stale, and the once ambitious franchise has turned into an annual cut-and paste. However, I still find myself buying this series every year, and luckily this year shows improvement. I'm still ready for them to wrap this up and send it off into the sunset but there's still a little life in this series yet

    Assassin's Creed Syndicate is the follow up to the huge disaster that was Assassin's Creed Unity. I can safely say that Ubisoft has learned from past mistakes and have corrected the majority of them when it comes to Syndicate. If you became a fan of this franchise with the first two games, Syndicate brings you back to that time when doing things in the game was enjoyable and didn't feel too repetitive.

    This game has been a very pleasant surprise and is a great example of what the game should be. It has some minor buggy controller moments, but overall is a great game. The graphics are stunning and anyone getting this game will not be disappointed. Also with the history of previous games included it is great for seasoned Creed players and new players alike. Great game be sure to check it out.

    After the let down that was AC Unity, I was very reluctant to pick up Syndicate. As it turns out, this iteration is a huge step up from last year's letdown. The dual characters add a fresh take on the tried and true AC formula. Combat is revamped and the London location is a spectacle to see first hand. I would recommend to anyone who enjoys the previous AC games, as a fresh start moving forward.

    This next installment in the Assassin's Creed universe starts off with a bang and makes you hold on for a ride! It's a new take on the AC world as you alternatively play two people, twin siblings Jacob and Evie Frye. It takes place in London at the start of the industrial revolution and it is wonderful to look at! Hours upon hours of new content and exciting gameplay! I love it!

    For those who have played before be sure to set the game to the hardest level (I did not and had to restart the game because it was so easy). Huge map, you can get lost in the side quests and unless you play it everyday it is easy to forget what your goal is at the moment. For those with tv's that can burn in be sure to turn off the mini map. Good solid game; no ship battles though.

    Syndicate is leaps and bounds better than Unity. It is no comparison. The Assassin's Creed franchise really made a turn around on this game. London looks spectacular on the PS4 formate. I know some will complain about the lack of online, but the rest of the game makes up for it. Evie and Jacob are deep characters that bring their own unique styles to vary gameplay. A must buy!

    The game looks and feels fantastic, London looks great and getting around is easier with the horse carriages and the batman type rope attachement. Taking over the boroughs does get repetitive but it is fun at the same time. I do wish we were able to control the character in the modern day version, but they are mostly cinematics. Overall a great game to add to your AC collection..

    Best Assassin's Creed title since Brotherhood

    Major improvements as far as story engagement go in this title. I feel compelled to continue for "the cause" as I meet new characters throughout the game. The boroughs all have their own distinct look and feel, and the accompanying soundtrack sets the mood and pacing of each mission well. I highly recommend this title for ALL players, especially Assassin's Creed veterans!

    This game is better than previous assassin's creed games. It compares a bit to assassin's creed 2 and black flag. Unfortunately the story is mediocre, since Ubisoft decided to ruin the series. The gameplay is fun and the characters are fun as well. They aren't as deep as you'd expect, but they are fun characters. The fighting is brutal and the missions aren't too bad.
