“I jumped into Assassin’s Creed Syndicate expecting another Assassin story. Instead, I found myself running London like it owed me money. This isn’t a lone assassin tale. It’s a takeover. Victorian London is alive, loud,…”
“The London setting is detailed and vibrant, and traversal with ropes and carriages adds fun variety to movement. Combat is responsive, though slightly simplified compared to earlier entries. Story pacing is uneven, but…”
“Being a long time fan of the franchise and hearing that Ubisoft is remaking Black Flag, I wanted to relive the last Pre-RPG Assassin's Creed game and as a token of appreciation decided to 100% it. Do I regret wasting 71…”

“런던을 배경으로 하는 쌍둥이 암살자 제이콥과 이비의 이야기. 어크 본편만 6편 넘게 한 것 같은데 비추를 주는 건 이번이 처음입니다. 비추를 준 이유는 간단합니다. 게임이 재미가 읍어요. 기존 어크 시리즈에 비해 이런 저런 기능의 추가로 편의성은 다소 향상이 되었습니다. 그런데 그게 전부입니다. 이거 유비가 외주를 줘서 만들었나 의심이 들 정도로 짜임새가 부족합니다. 사실 유비식 오픈월드…”
“this is by far the WORST AC game in the franchise. I have tried so hard to get into this game on xbox AND pc but i just cant. The story, the characters, the gameplay, even the gang stuff too is bad. ♥♥♥♥, in my opnion.…”
“it's not as bad as people say it is. But still, the story isn't particularly memorable for me. The best from this game is the Jack The Ripper DLC and yeah London looks beautiful in this game”

“If you choose to replay missions you can run into a desync loop in game meaning you cannot complete them again. Known problem that has never been fixed.”

“Assassins Creed Syndicate is yet another entry in the series and the last of the pre-RPG oriented Assassin’s Creed games. But is it really the last classic one? After playing every AC before this, it feels like a strange mix of old and new ideas. Some things are better, some…”
