Assassin’s Creed Syndicate Review

  POSTED October 26, 2015

Syndicate is a return to form for the Assassin's Creed franchise, delivering a unique, engaging story in a world that feels alive.

• Excellent world design allows organic discovery of missions with open-ended solutions
• London looks gorgeous
• The rope launcher tool is a game-changer for traversal and stealth
• Building up your gang is rewarding and satisfying
• Masterful soundtrack captures the hope and despair of the setting
• Wonderful story led by two of the strongest protagonists in the series

 

• Final boss battle is frustrating and kills the drama
• Sometimes controls can be imprecise
