Assassin's Creed Syndicate Standard Edition - PlayStation 4

Had a lot of fun playing this game and looking forward to the Jack the Ripper missions.

This game is a lot better than the last one... I highly recommend it.

Compared to the garbage mess of AC Unity, Syndicate turned out to be a pretty decent and fun game overall and the story was really intriguing with no ugly bugs or glitches like Unity had on release day. The graphics are one of the best I've seen in the Assassins Creed games if not the best and the gameplay was pretty smooth overall. It's definitely a big improvement over Unity and I would definitely recommend to anyone a fan of the series.

Assassin's Creed Syndicate is a fantastic return to the roots of the series that combines classic Assassin's Creed lore and structure with a fresh new leveling and combat system. Set in the beautiful streets of London, the sights and sounds of the open world are hard to beat. The game introduces a new two-character story which plays nicely throughout, allowing players to switch freely between either character in most parts of the game. The missions are fresh while maintaining the classic structure we love from the best games of the series. The different side activities in the game keep you busy and provide plenty of loot to upgrade your characters equipment and skill. Carriage controls are tight and responsive providing an extra fun element to the game. Added also was the grappling line which is fluid and while not quite as fun as Batman's, it definitely speeds up climbing to high places. If you sat this out because of Unity, fear not, this game is leaps and bounds better and way well go down as the 3rd best in the franchise.

My love for Assassin's Creed has dwindled over the past several years. Brotherhood was, in my opinion, the last great Assassin's Creed game. The quality diminished after that. With annual releases every year, it just missed the magic that the games had. But with Syndicate, they basically took everything that made the game boring and uninteresting and threw it out the window. The game takes place near the turn of the 19th century, in Victorian England. You play as Jacob and Evie Frye who are already skilled assassin's as you start the game. The graphics look amazing on PS4 and so far, I've encountered zero bugs but I'm also playing the game a good 9 months after its release so they've had time to patch the game quite a bit. I don't want to go to into detail with the game, but I will say as someone who loved the series from the beginning, this is a great game that is worth the price. Yes, even full price.

Syndicate is an improvement in the Assassin's Creed series from Rogue and Unity. By no means is this the best Assassin's Creed game, but it looks great and has the same handling and feel of others in the series. That can kind of be a problem in itself though as gameplay feels stagnant and repetitious at times. When compared to Assassin's Creed 2 which was outstanding for its time and introduced new concepts to the series, my favorite tends to lean more towards Black Flag. In Black Flag, you juggled between sailing the open seas and typical Assassin's Creed gameplay. The series felt fresh. Syndicate is a return to the old style, but is not as stale as Rogue and Unity were soon after they came out. If you like the series like I do, pick it up.

As with all of the Assassin Creed series, this game features alot of gameplay. The addition of new characters with unique abilities is awesome. And finally a creed with a playable female assassin. Over 100 hours in and still tons to do.

I bought this game on "Deal of the Day". Awesome game for that price, if you are assassin fan, you should get this one! rich graphical interface with good story line. I would recommend buying this game if you find this in a deal!
