Syndicate pushes its thick lore into the background and delivers the most fun and focussed Assassin's game in a while.

Jack the Ripper was not the first serial killer in human history, but he was notable for several reasons. His case was heavily covered by the London media, giving him a stature and legend far beyond that of a simple murderer.

Assassin's Creed has become a gaming institution. Over the years it has become one of the heavyweight franchises, but a few recent missteps have had fans wondering if maybe the series had lost its touch.

Assassin's Creed Syndicate is-wait for it-an Assassin's Creed game, with all that that implies. It's a really good Assassin's Creed game, mind you, my favorite since Assassin's Creed II took us to Renaissance Italy way back in 2009. We're in Victorian London this time, in 1868.

I have played the Assasin's Creed 1,2 brotherhood, revelations , black flag and syndicate. I have just started playing syndicate....and its completely different from the previous parts. Now there are 2 characters to switch.

On paper, Syndicate is the best entry in the Assassin's Creed series yet. It's clear that Ubisoft have been listening to criticisms, and have made a real effort to improve things – as well as introducing new elements in an effort to make things even better.

Been a fan of the earlier AC games and must admit I was a little skeptical about buying syndicate as I have heard some not so great things about Unity ( the game previous to syndicate) but immediately when I started playing the game I was extremely happy that I got this game at such a great price...

It's almost like, with each game, they progress the story of the assassins and how they function as time rubles on...settings wise, it's one of the more colourful AC games.

Amazing game! Have played all the Assassins Creed games made to date. This game took me around 60 hours to complete. Great story and amazing gameplay. Definitely worth the buy.

I enjoyed this game, it has the Assassin's creed feel to it. It does get repetitive in a sense, but the repeated side quests are level based and throw more enemies at you as you get a higher level. The grappling hook is a great edition, I wish they would keep adding instead of taking away.
