I have played several Assassin's Creed games, but most of them are easy to finish within 20 hours. This game, while rather easy, has more depth and character to it. I particularly enjoy playing as Evie.

I've enjoyed the Assassin's Creed Franchise ever since the beginning. It's always held a soft spot in my heart. The game play is well done as is the story. All in all, it's a very enjoyable game.

I've played all of the Assassin's Creed games other than the fail of "Unity," and by far this one is the best yet. Love the story, love interacting with Victorian historical figures. Excellent game.

The Assassin's Creed series has had a few ups and downs in the last couple of years but this one is nice. New gameplay mechanics make it fun again. Graphics are top notch and no longer plagued with bugs.

This is one of my favorite AC games! I love the era that it takes place in. One of the biggest differences is that it doesn't have interaction outside of the animus. There are a few cinematic moments in the "real world", but most of it is in the assassin world. The game play is awesome and the additions of horse-drawn carriages, grappling hook and a couple other features make it unique. The fighting style has become a bit more challenging with counters (which enhance the experience). The side missions with famous characters (Charles Dickens, Karl Marx, etc.) was a really cool touch. Overall, I felt this was a step-up from previous editions! Loved every minute!

I like the London setting, i still like black flag better, but wonder if they will ever top that! Storyline with the gangs is good and the activities keep you interested. Worth a purchase

I enjoyed this title more than the last AC Unity. With the always fun story line AC offers and new in game gadgets for climbing around the city, this title is highly recommended.

A Return to Form

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Assassins Creed has been a roller coaster of a series, from highs such as the Ezio Trilogy and Black Flag to lows such as ACIII and Unity. Assassins Creed has been a decisive series with each game trying to reinvent itself in all the wrong ways. With AC Syndicate its a return to form where gameplay that made the series great is at the forefront and all the gimmicks are left behind. Of course its not without its flaws, still a few technical bugs here and there and not much diversity between the two main protagonists has you feeling like maybe they should have stuck with just one. Overall though I would definitely recommend this game.

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.

Ubisoft improves on the glitchy Unity. The city of London is beautiful and a joy to explore. Great story with phenomenal characters. Three words....Horse Drawn Carriages.:)

Black Flag still holds the top spot for me, but it is tough to beat pirates.
Still, Syndicate is an excellent game and a fine addition to the Assassin's Creed series.
I enjoyed the London setting a lot (way more than Paris in the last installment), the hook-shot thingy worked much better than I expected, combat is solid, free-running still fun. The missions have enough variety that I didn't start finding them tedious.
All in all, if you like the AC series this is almost as good as it gets. If you don't, well I don't know if this will be the one to change your mind but it's probably going to get closer than most of them
