Ubisoft's popular game series returns with more historically based open-world action, a new main location, and two playable protagonists in Assassin's Creed: Syndicate. The game takes place in London at the close of the Industrial Revolution, and finds players controlling Jacob Frye and his twin sister Evie as they battle the Templars for control of the city's seven boroughs. This game offers a mix of fast-paced combat, parkour exploration, stealth, and investigation, though Syndicate adds a new mechanic that finds gamers assembling a gang and battling rivals. Missions include classic assassinations as well as bounty hunting, gang wars, races, and even train robberies, and during the course of their adventure gamers will come across various historical figures, including Charles Darwin and Florence Nightingale.
From start to finish this is a very compelling game with some great characters and story lines. I have always been a assassins creed fan and this game is an excellent addition to the franchise. The historical background of the characters that actually existed in real life is very well researched and gives some great information on them also the attention to detail for the real world buildings is second to none. I would highly recommend this game if you like me are a fan if the franchise
This is the first of the AC franchise I have played since ACIII (which was tedious), I quite like the gameplay and may revisit some of the other games now. Would really like to see the original with Altaïr remastered for the PS4.
Not the best Assasins Creed, but well worth it at these prices
A bit repetative in terms of mission progress, but enjoyable enough for a complete play through. Played this after Black Flag, which definitely has the edge in terms of diversity, but for the price I paid it was a few weeks of great entertainment. I had the 1st PS3 Assassins Creed 1 which I got really bored with. The later ganes are a much more involving experience
If you like the Assassin's Creed franchise you'll love this one. A very compelling game with great graphics which gives you a true idea of London in the 1860's. Liking the battle system more and more every day. And the new transportation means in the game are perfect. Highly recommended.
