I waited a couple of years to try AC Syndicate. I skipped Rogue and Unity due to the mixed reviews. Coming off of AC Black Flag, Syndicate is an improvement both in graphics and game play. I think the game play is one step smoother and the graphics two or maybe three steps better (I have no idea how to convey what a "step" is, though). Ubisoft had added carriage racing to the game, which is pretty fun but came become a little bit old after you have performed several of the challenges. Not surprisingly, AC Syndicate game play has a lot in common with Watchdogs (the original). Once I made the connection, I couldn't break it. The missions are similar in the abstract with the time period and tools being the main difference. The story is a good continuation of the whole Assassins-good-guys versus Templar-bad-guys vying to control the world. Ubisoft has retained the parallel present-past dual story lines, but — thankfully! — the present day story is much reduced. I've only had to watch a few cutaways and not been forced to act in the present day. The Pre-Cursor story is still there and your characters are still trying to wrest pieces of Eden from the Templars' grasp. There is an odd bit sort of tacked on where you play a different character in WW1 London, but I just took it in stride rather than questioning it (you know... kinda like watching The Walking Dead... if you question it too much the weak reasoning might detract from your enjoyment.) Overall, is it a good game? It is Assassin's Creed. It plays like Assassin's Creed. It feels like Assassin's Creed. It has evolved a bit, but remains true to the franchise. I like Assassin's Creed, so think this was a good game at 2017 prices. I don't think I would have been happy with it had I paid $60 when it was first released.Read full review

I liked it at first, but at the end I just wanted to be done with it. Overall an ok game. I just got at time there were better games to play. Story was good. Missions were really repetitive. Side quest are really repetitive.

I played Assassin'S Creed Syndicate before from a Friend's XBOX and I can tell you it's the most fun Assassin'S Creed game yet rivaling Black Flag. Takes place at one of my favorite Time Period the Victorian industrial Revolution Era. Syndicate is different from your same Old Assassins, More Steam punk approach and the gadgets are just down right fun to use. The Graphics are beautiful and very appealing just behind AC Unity. I really recommend this game to anyone who just wants the most fun out of an Assassin'S Creed game.

This is another addition to the Assassin's Creed line up. This is also one of the better ones. Love the way you can switch characters mid game. You can play either twin. The setting and environment is one of the best attributes of this game. The gam play is just like the other AC games.

Assassins creed even when problems plague them they are always entertaining simply for their locations and and the gameplay mechanics. Yes missions can get repetitive and sometimes seem to be a little long but being able to assassinate someone from a roof or a haystack is still as fulfilling as always. Plus this title allows you to play as 2 different assassins. Multiplayer seems to be a distant memory for assassins creed but it could change.
