Assassin's Creed Syndicate (Xbox One)

Though a fan of the AC series since the very first one, i have to admit that none have really lived up to the bar set by AC2 / Brotherhood, as this game (+ the follow up version) was pretty much unmatch for story and puzzles. I find myself comparing it generally to my favourite in the series AC2... which is good, so here goes - Starting on the possitive side of AC - Syndicate, the gameplay and the new zipwire tool bring back the fondness i had for AC2, the combat and controls are familiar and easy to get used to and adapt to (should you be a new player). It seems that without the multiplayer option, Ubisoft has focused more on what matters, the gameplay, this has worked tremendously well and kept me interested pretty much throughout the game. The main characters you play also have their charm, and Jacob's personality brings back memories of Ezio's great personality... To have a good game you need a good lead character. It definetly feels better than AC Revelations / AC3 / AC4 / AC Rogue and AC Unity and a bit better than Brotherhood. With alot of side activities to do, it also keeps you interested for some time. I was weary with it being set in the industrial times, as i didn't think this would be a good setting or fun time to play, but Ubisoft sure proved me wrong. Negatively looking at things - There are little to no puzzles, which is probably why i liked AC2 so much, i enjoyed the mental challenge too... Syndicate lacks these. Like with lots of AC games it is something that in a sense is difficult to just pickup and play without owning alot of the previous titles, as the major (but background) story in AC games need to follow on from previous titles, this, though still no exception has tried to tackle that issue, perhaps it could have been done better, but i still feel that for Syndicate it is better to either have owned all AC titles, or at least for this storyline, owned AC4 / AC Rogue / AC Unity to fully appreciate the story. All in all, a great game and has plenty to do, if Ubisoft continues developing the AC title like they have with Syndicate rather than the other "latest" titles, i have no worries for its future!

I don't often review things, but feel compelled here. I received this game on Sunday and have played approx 6-7 hours. Let me start by saying I am a Creed Fanboy. I love the story, and the way it follows a singular arc. When the Desmond Arc finished, The Juno Arc began and I feel like we are mid way through that now. Syndicate is all the better for not including a multiplayer. You can tell that the extra development time released for the single player story has made for a really refined experience. In terms of how it feels, it is as good as AC2. In my opinion Revelations is still the best of the bunch, for story, gameplay, and replayability. This carries a lot of mechanics over from Unity. The Parkour system, and upgrade paths, plus the liberation of segments through side missions remain. I think where this games strength lies, is in the characters. You feel a lot more connected to them this time round. Importantly, there seems to be a decent narrative to the Out of Animus action too, although as yet I have only experienced cut scenes, no real world action. I think a conservative estimate of playtime for this game, for a regular fan of the series is 30-40 hours. you could blast through it more quickly but that misses the point of Creed. The graphics are stunning, Victorian London is faithfully recreated. However being so early on, it is difficult to say. If you are a fan of Creed and followed it from the start, then this is a worthy addition. The story seems to be perfectly "on arc" and will please any fan. The game is more polished and everything has none of the frustrations the previous two games had. All in all, definitely one for the xmas stocking.

A good game. Unfortunately repitive for non main mission events, but on the whole a fun experience. The recreation of Victorian London is absolutely amazing. The game really nailed the authenticity of the era. immersion into the backstreets, with the sounds of hammers smacking anvils in the huge, child labour, factories that litter the city. If you're an assassins creed fan, you're not going to find much new here but well worth a play.

One of my favourite AC's so far. The London map is huge and there's so much to do. Plenty of side quests and it's so much easier to get around with the new gadget but I guess this is because the streets are wider. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole game. The graphics seem to either have stayed the same since Unity or went down a little but I wasn't too bothered as the content is there. It's great to have the choice between the Female with Stealth and male with a more Combat approach to things. All the characters seem to have alot more personality than the last AC aswell. There are quite a few glitches in the game which I didn't expect from the newest AC. Also the fact it isn't coop or multiplayer (which would have been great with carriage races and wrestling) stops me from giving it 5 star. Overall though a really good game and worth the money if you enjoy AC.

I enjoyed playing this game. I liked switching back and forth between characters.

De segunda mano pero en estado excelente y a buen precio. La jugabilidad es interesante y la historia suficientemente larga.

sono innamorata della serie, la versione regno unito è molto più economica di quella italiana, forse perché non è stata necessaria la traduzione, la consiglio a chi conosce l'inglese

je suis très déçus de cet article que j'avais commander en version anglaise et où on ne peut mettre ni les sous-titres en français, ni le jeux lui-même, aucune possibilité de le renvoyer ni de l'échanger. c'est la toute première fois que je suis déçus par amazon, moi étant un bon client.

Great price, fast delivery, amazing game!!
