Syndicate continues our journey through history as the brother/sister duo of Jacob and Evie Fry work to continue the legacy...

London is wonderful, but Assassin's Creed's inherent problems ensure Syndicate never comes close to doing its world justice.

Ubisoft had a lot to do this year, after the less than satisfactory arrival of Unity last year Ubisoft had to ensure that Syndicate launched bug free and with a solid game that could bring the franchise back. On the first account of launching bug free Ubisoft kind of failed with many notable bugs appearing across the entire game(none of which are game breaking), but in a more positive light Assassin’s Creed Syndicate is one of the best, if not the best Assassin’s Creed games I have ever played.

The environment, the gameplay, the characters, this game has certainly enough assets to present that would make this game a good purchase. It’s problems aren’t that much of a problem, in fact they aren’t game-breaking at all. The game does reward you, especially with a certain secret area that takes you in for a spin on World War I, putting you in the shoes of Jacob’s granddaughter, Lydia Frye, which fans could take as a hint towards the franchise’s future direction. Definitely this game is one that you can buy and add to your collection or not but the experience...

Syndicate is another Assassin’s Creed. Its characters and setting are likeable, it’s not a technical mess, and it has some fun new features, which certainly puts it in the upper tier of the franchise since Brotherhood. This is another pseudo-historical playground, another set of Templars to stab, and another checklist of collectables to grab. It’s a solid entry in a series that’s been far too prolific, and while Syndicate is good, it’s tough to be excited about it.

Assassin's Creed Syndicate is a solid and good-looking, if decidedly traditional, release in the series' annual cycle. It's worth a look but if you have an enormous backlog, then don't worry - the Frye twins can wait.

When I reviewed the ill-fated PC port of Arkham Knight, I said that the Arkham games were my go-to AAA series. On this form, they've got stiff competition. Here's hoping Syndicate isn't an anomaly and that the future of the series will be something other than history repeating itself.

Despite a lack of difficulty and some weak final moments, the fascinating story set against a beautiful London backdrop featuring excellently portrayed characters makes Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate one of the strongest entries in the series to date.

With a stellar cast of characters, a beautiful setting, thoughtful and open ended gameplay, and a decidedly more playable post-launch game, Assassin's Creed Syndicate is the game that many fans of the series have been waiting for.

Bernie Sanders could use Assassin's Creed Syndicate's tale of greed and capitalist abuse at campaign rallies. It's too routine after a dozen games.

Without any shadow of a doubt, Assassin’s Creed Syndicate is one of the best entries in the series. For me it’s probably the best since the masterpiece that was Assassin’s Creed 2. The controls are tighter, the combat is vastly improved, and the side missions complement the main campaign as well as being interesting in their own rights. On top of that, performance is great despite its fantastic visuals and huge game world, with very few technical hitches on display. There’s nothing revolutionary here, so it’s probably not going to convert non-fans to the Creed, but it’s a great evolution...

One of the more poignant moments in Syndicate is a scene where Crawford Starrick is solemnly playing piano. At the conclusion of the slow, heartfelt song, he earnestly sings “In such a moment, I but ask that you’ll remember me. That you’ll remember me.” We remember you, Assassin’s Creed. And now, we have hope for what else you can do.

It's a good Assassin's Creed game that is a ton of fun if you're a fan of the franchise like me, and London is a fantastic playground that is just a joy to walk around in, but to me it feels like that is no longer good enough.

Assassin’s Creed Syndicate is the next-generation Assassin’s Creed game we were promised last year. While the story does little to push the franchise forward, having such a lovable duo in a brilliantly designed city was exhilarating.

Assassin's Creed Syndicate is one of the most historically inaccurate Assassin’s Creed games thus far. I have spent hours creeping through the darkened alleyways of London’s underbelly, climbing its iconic landmarks and even riding a few trains, and there is this massive glaring historically inaccuracy that ruins the game for everyone that’s visited the fair city of London.

Assassin's Creed: Syndicate is about what we've come to expect from annual franchise. Ubisoft Quebec has built a beautiful new world to explore but relies on many of the same ideas from previous games to keep players interested.

Yes, it's better than Assassin's Creed Unity. Ubisoft's romp through revolutionary Paris was a steaming mass of merde, so the publisher had little margin for error with Assassin's Creed Syndicate – the latest instalment in the French firm's flagship open world franchise. But while transposing the property's iconic undercover killing to the cobbled streets of London has shored up its technical performance, there are still serious design issues with this somewhat formulaic foray.

Assassin’s Creed Syndicate is the most fun I’ve had with an Assassin’s game since Black Flag. In fact, I liked it more. Apart from its ill-fitting conclusion, it never takes itself too seriously and delights in the rich possibilities of its Victorian setting and great new grapple gun. As you explore its contrasting boroughs, you glean some sense of what powered this great city in the 19th century. The story missions capitalise on this by exploring different spheres of influence, which when combined with elements like mass transit, heavy industry, and law enforcement, make this feel like a different type...

Something of a return to form for the series, Assassin's Creed Syndicate is the perfect marriage of time, place and characters with an entertaining story and fun gameplay to match. London has never seemed so appealing.

Ultimately, Syndicate comes off as another Assassin’s Creed game with a handful of improvements. London is beautiful if a bit laborious to travel around, and the missions are repetitive, but this doesn’t make Syndicate bad by any stretch of the imagination. It’s still a good game, it just hasn’t made a significant step up over the previous instalment. If you are a fan of Assassin’s Creed, or you think you might be, then Syndicate comes as recommended as any other AC. It likely won’t convert people who dislike the series, but it won’t lose any who are still interested in...

It's as if the developers have listened to many of the complaints that were levied at previous titles in the franchise and decided to finally do something about it with Assassin's Creed: Syndicate. Framerate problems persist – not nearly as much as in the last game – but they've stripped out the things that diluted the fun of the earlier titles and focused on giving the player the ability to do what they want, when they want and not only that, but to go about it however they want. There's no broken co-op or botched multiplayer here and as we've...
