Assassin's Creed® Syndicate

I'll be honest, I played the whole game as Evie except for the mandatory missions as Jacob. Had a blast and liked the setting so much. Might come back one day to unlock all the Steam achievements.

Worked fine for 2 hours, now bricks my PC when trying to get past the start menu. I have tried capping the frame rate at the GPU level, verifying game files, disabling steam/ubisoft/nvidia/discord overlays, nothing works. Good game from what I could tell, if it works.

I'm enjoying it a lot. Exploring Victorian London with Jacob and Evie is such a cool experience. The vibe is different from previous games, but in a good way. The dual protagonists, the atmosphere, the gangs, it all comes together nicely.

Grand Theft Auto - Horses, but in London Brother Jacob is going on some Peaky Blinders stuff with his british lads and thats cool. Evie is just boring. :P

Great game, it makes some very good improvements upon the bones of Unity, which is still my favourite AC game. But alas, where a lot of updates are made, a lot of the stuff that made Unity great are lost here. Gone is the feelingof being an assassin, as both the Freys feel more like brawlers or crooks, gone is are the narrow streets and tight worlds design. In it's place we got other good stuff, but it could have been better. Dreadful crimes is amazing though, and vastly improved upon Unity's murder mysteries, this is something that should really be expended upon in a future game. If you like Unity, you will probably like this, as I loved Unity, I really like this. now onto the DLC! EDIT: The DLC was.. Not as good as I had hoped. I heard a lot of hype about it, but personally found it a halfly baked mess with absolutely abysmal performance. What went wrong here? as the base game did not suffer these kind of issues. I had 5 multiple quests end up in a dead loop, and one that was bugged and had me change my core affinity to fix it. It kind of soured the base game a bit for me.

The game frezze in the starup screen i have to reset al my pc to recover and it look like is a know easue and the metod to fix are a mess

its been a while since I played this I forgot how fricking addictive this one is .. it beats the other two releases badly I dont know why the story line isnt more intricate or even particularly wonderfully thought out maybe it is the speed of the game play... but it reminds me of the first one with the adranline rush ....

Game is bugged. the bodyguard mission is physically impossible to beat. i cant do anything. kill the hijacker. mission fail. hijack the cart which ur supposed to do for the mission. so yeah its just bugged

Only reason for negative review is unfixed ''bug''. After game launches and screen apears ''press any button'' game freezes and can't react at all. I was trying alt+enter method which worked few times but not always and I was forced to reopen the game around 10 times before it starts working. After a while I found fix on YT where you need to go to MSCONFIG and set number of CPU cores to muximum or anything below 30 for this game. Love the gameplay, story telling but FFS UBISOFT, FIX UR GAMES! Here's the link where it's explained how to fix freezing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5abOt0V59d0&t=617s

A little bit better than AC Unity but sometimes with lots of bugs. Funny ones fortunately... But if u are up for the story and historical fun facts, then this is getting a huge 10

I know people don't love this game because its very different from the other AC games and has a bit less parkour due to the buildings being spread quite far apart. HOWEVER I found this game to be an absolute treasure. In my opinion I loved this game no matter what people say. It was different, correct, but I loved that you could use zip lines to zip from one building to another, and I loved the atmosphere and stealth, it is an all round perfect game even without the parkour!

setting of the game is nice, major turn off for me is the parkour, unity's parkour functions better but the hook is nice, the combat is good, a bit button mashing, really lacks in character customization compare to unity, story and characters are a bit stale for me 7/10

This game was great fun, had a bit of GTA mixed in with Assassin's Creed. Loved it more than Unity as it was SP focused. The DLC's fear based mechanics were entertaining as well. Though my one complaint will be the inability to access some maps for the sake of collectibles outside of missions (in DLC).

I actually liked i a lot. the Zipline definitely made things easier for the worst, but even so you can still refrain from using it and voila, a regular AC parkour experience (I actually like the Zip but a lot of people hate on it) The city itself is really cool to explore and the graphics of this game are great. The story does feel off as an AC game since the MCs are crooks (more so Jacob than Evie) but that is the beauty in itself. being a Victorian London it makes sense - and they are still just as focused on their mission and core as other Assasins Good game, recommended

OK i just began the game and finished the tutoriel but holy shit is this game good. The citys are huge and gorgeus, stealth was so damn improved and the parkour is so damn fun.seriously this game is a ac fans DREAM. I cant even wait for grappling hook

pretty good, its what you'd expect a game about assassins to be, but i'm convinced that nobody who has the game actually plays it, because like 5% of players have the achievement of killing 20 people from zip lines, the entire map is covered in zip lines

Victorian London? More like Victorian Slay-don. I booted up AC Syndicate expecting the usual stabby-stab parkour fiesta—and I got that—but no one warned me I’d become emotionally attached to the cobblestone streets. The fog, the grime, the inexplicably attractive NPCs yelling “Oi! Get outta my way!”—it's like a cozy murder vacation. The city feels so alive I started saying “Cheers, mate” to my coffee every morning. I climbed Big Ben so many times I think I’m legally a pigeon now. And don’t even get me started on the Thames—I got into more boat fights than any sane person should. One time I hijacked a carriage just to admire the gaslights while running over five redcoats. Art. Honestly, I came for the story but stayed because Victorian London is the kind of place where you want to wear a top hat and throw someone off a train. 10/10 would loiter in Whitechapel again. Would I 100% it again? Let’s not talk about that.

For the love of god, let us play the games we bought offline in peace, or at least without downloading updates when we hit play, for launchers/"content"... It doesn't make me buy more stuff, you are actually putting me off buying your games...

Best AC game for me. The atmosphere of Victorian London is awesome, the rope thrower is a great game mechanic addition. Having to do special missions for historical figures like Darwin, Karl Marx, Charles Dickens is a big plus for me. It's great that you can play as Jacob or Evie on a good chunk of the story but also that there are specific missions and ultimate level skills for each of them. Even the grinding (collectables) doesn't seem to be such a nonsense like in other AC games because it's not just about money as loot but also about (rare) crafting materials and schematics for crafting certain weapons. To me it seemed like the same great parkour like in Unity but with the important addition that entering through open windows is much easier and responsive than in Unity. For me is a great story and although there are repetitive objectives (kill someone, kidnap someone else etc) the various degree of challenge in association with optional challenges for bonus XP and money make them more interesting. I can't think immediately of something I didn't like about Syndicate.

I loved this game on Playstation. I purchased this game on steam (with all DLC's) in February of 2024 wanting to play through it again on PC. The issue being the game will not boot. I have gone through plenty forums and done a fair amount of trouble-shooting and still nothing. The game attempts to boot and crashes immediately after the ACS logo. Every couple months I attempt to boot in hopes that there has been a patch or it magically works, but no luck. Quite disappointing. Ryzen 7 7800x3d RTX 4070 Ti 64Gb Ram

The atmosphere and the London setting are really well done — the city feels alive and immersive. However, the missions quickly become repetitive, and the story fails to grab your attention. It lacks the mystery and excitement you’d expect from an Assassin’s Creed game. The Frye twins are fun to play as, and the combat is satisfying, but without a strong narrative, the game doesn’t leave a lasting impression. Worth trying if you’re a fan of the series, but don’t expect anything groundbreaking.

Without the creative duo of Jade Raymond and Patrice Désilets, Assassin's Creed has completely become a mass-produced canned game, losing all the soul and innovation it once had. It's just a pile of trash.

not a big fan of how upbeat and bright they made the game having jokes on every other line, would've loved to have seen the initial concept of the more gritty victorian era but overall a decent game and story with likeable main characters.

Overall the game is good and fun to play, I am coming from Unity, This is cool but unity looks more cool.

Assassin's Creed Syndicate was my first AC game and I honestly loved it so much. The characters were well written, the gameplay was great, the soundtrack was amazing as well and the scenery was truly beautiful. Maybe the story could have been written a little better, but it was very plesant from the begining to the end either way. I would definitelly recommend this game.

Very good game, I would say it's a lot better than unity, a lot of it has to do with mobility. Unity had nothing except just running, climbing and fast travel. Syndicate has carriages that serve as good vehicles to move around, the grappling hook and the old stuff from before. The story is alright, not too bad not anything extremely amazing either. Side missions are fun and interesting for the most part. Associate activities are actually decently fun as well, including killing templar leaders, kidnapping, liberating factories where very young children work, and taking out gang strongholds. There are a lot of collectibles as well across all boroughs. Aside from all of that, there are races, fight clubs, boat raids, carriage hijacks and train robberies as well as blowing up smuggler supplies on boats. There is also a WW1 simulation in the game that unlocks at some point in the story that is completely optional, quite interesting nonetheless and it expands the lore somewhat. On the side of bugs, there are a few, some which are game breaking but seem to fix themselves on their own, some crashes here and there but not too bad overall. on the base game I would give it a 9/10 would heavily recommend especially if you liked previous assassin's creed titles. As for the Jack the ripper DLC it is a buggy mess. Bugs very often with the voicelines being heavily muffled to the point that you have to really be alert to just barely hear the dialogue, other bugs also occur sometimes with the prostitutes when trying to get them to distract guards, sometimes they get stuck in a building ect. In lost woman 2, an associate mission in the DLC, it is so bugged that just starting the mission fails it. There is a fix for it but it still is a buggy mess overall. The DLC content is not too bad and it isn't too short either. side Missions are pretty decent for the most part, if you disregard the possibly bugs. Main missions are quite good and well made with barely any bugs. Overall the DLC I would give a 6 or 7 out of 10. Not because it is that bad, but the bugs really ruined the experience for me. could be bumped up to an 8 or 9 without the bugs. Overall 9/10 game heavily recommend A

Last great AC game before the great AC depression, this one takes alot from AC Unity(another great game 1000% recommended). Jacob and Evie are really fun to play as, two different styles and all. Quite annoying that you can't see Evie doing stuff and helping out in a duo mission, (or if you're playing as Evie, then Jacob) when it's shown in the cutscene they're both there. Other than that, good game.

The setting is really what does it for this one. Also the fact that you have two playable characters you can switch between is nice as well. But, really just moving around London of this era is so well realized and fascinating. The game suffers from the same Assassin's Creed problems it always does: there just aren't enough ways to interact with the world. You tail someone, pick up items, you assassinate someone or there's a car (buggy) chase. That's basically it. But it's worth it to spend some time in this world and with these two amusing protagonists.

very good game even the british people are bearable overall a liverpool/stevenage

3rd favorite AC game, behind Origins and Valhalla. Switching back and forth between the twins is fun. And interacting with historical figures is entertaining. However, having to continually go around recruiting and getting into fisticuffs is a realy drawback to the flow of the game. The "home case" of the train is fun in theory, but is difficult to navigate when starting up for the first play thru. 8.5/10

🎩 Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate — Full Review Set in Victorian London (1868) during the Industrial Revolution, Syndicate stars twin protagonists Jacob and Evie Frye, who fight Templar control through gang warfare, stealth, and clever gadgets. With a massive, beautifully crafted London and slick gameplay, it's a strong—yet underrated—entry in the series. ---{ Graphics }--- 🔲 Awful 🔲 Bad 🔲 Will do ✅ Decent (Nothing special) ✅ Stunning 🔲 Visual Masterpiece London looks fantastic: foggy streets, red-brick factories, horse-drawn carriages, Big Ben, and gas-lit alleys all come to life with atmospheric flair. Animations are smooth and cinematic. ---{ Gameplay }--- 🔲 Bad 🔲 Okay 🔲 Nothing special ✅ Good ✅ Very good 🔲 Try not to get addicted The grappling hook, gang mechanics, and dual protagonists bring much-needed freshness. Parkour is smooth, combat is fast and flashy, and the gang takeover system adds fun layers. ---{ Audio }--- 🔲 Bad 🔲 Not too bad 🔲 Decent ✅ Good ✅ Beautiful 🔲 Masterpiece The soundtrack, especially when synchronized from a viewpoint, is rich and moody. Voice acting is strong — Evie shines with subtlety, while Jacob brings humour and flair. ---{ PC Requirements }--- 🔲 Potato ✅ Decent ✅ Fast 🔲 High-end PC 🔲 Ask NASA if they have a spare computer Initially launched with optimization issues, but most were patched. Runs well on mid to high-end systems today. ---{ Difficulty }--- 🔲 Just press a bunch of buttons ✅ Easy ✅ Significant brain usage 🔲 Easy to learn / Hard to master 🔲 Difficult 🔲 Dark Souls Classic counter-based combat, AI can be dumb at times. Stealth is fun but forgiving, making it easy for newcomers. ---{ Grind }--- 🔲 Nothing ✅ Only if you care about 100% ✅ Average grind level 🔲 Too much grind 🔲 Insanity Gang territory, child liberations, collectibles, and gang upgrades can become repetitive, but are completely optional. ---{ Story }--- 🔲 None/Not important in this game 🔲 Bad ✅ Average ✅ Great 🔲 Well written 🔲 One of the best I've had the pleasure of playing The story is fun but light. Sibling dynamics add charm, but the Templar antagonist lacks depth. Jack the Ripper DLC improves the narrative weight considerably. ---{ Price }--- 🔲 Free ✅ Cheap ✅ Under priced (especially on sale) 🔲 Acceptable price 🔲 Overpriced 🔲 Complete waste of money Goes on sale for under $10 often. Great value, especially with the Jack the Ripper DLC. ---{ Bugs }--- 🔲 Never heard of ✅ Minor bugs ✅ Can get annoying 🔲 Bugpocalypse: Proceed with caution Some carriage glitches, parkour hiccups, and AI jank — nothing game-breaking, just immersion-breaking at times. ---{ Length }--- 🔲 Very Short (0 - 4 hours) 🔲 Short (4 - 10 hours) ✅ Average (10-30 hours) ✅ Long (30-50 hours) 🔲 Extremely long 🔲 No ending Main story is ~25–30 hours. With side quests and DLC, 50+ hours of content is easy. ---{ ? / 10 }--- 🔲 1 🔲 2 🔲 3 🔲 4 🔲 5 🔲 6 🔲 7 ✅ 8 🔲 9 🔲 10 Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate is a stylish, fun, and underrated gem. It lacks the emotional depth of Ezio’s era but delivers the most refined version of the classic AC formula. 🔹 Final Score: 8/10 🔹 London is yours to conquer — with charm, gadgets, and top hats.

the game is in iutrawide unplayable. the game is stretched too much. The fucking camera is literally on your character and you cant see shit

story meh, it brings new fighting system which i personally liked, jacob is cringe, girl is okay, my own gang ai had me redo many mission because they suck at stealth , setting is good, meh parkour, unity is the only game which cracked it, here the character just does not jump at all if building is just a little tall. Loved the fighting thing and carriage races. overall 8/10

Only a company like Ubishit can make a game where simply pressing a button on the main menu causes the game to hang and freeze. Truly remarkable. Even poorly optimised games, you can at the very least, still PLAY the damn game. Never supporting this company again. Fuck Ubisoft.

Assassin’s Creed Syndicate is one of those games that I didn’t like when I was young but this year I planned to play and complete every main line AC game (god help me). Shortly Syndicate is amazing but have some flaws. First the bad. Frye twins are not my type of a characters I do like them but no way they can be compared to Arno Ezio Edward Altair they are a twin character and Joel and Elie is a twin character game too. Twins gameplaywise is almost the same Evie is better because her stealth kills are amazing compared to Jacob combat skills because if you are good at combat and won’t get hit you will find yourself playing as Evie to very end of the game IF missions doesn’t require you to play as Jacob. Parkour that was core element of the series is good but there is almost no use for it cause you get graplin hook which automatically with one press of the button almost instantly teleports you to the roof but it is mandatory because roads of London are really huge space between buildings is massive city wasn’t built for parkour but some districts places are built for it. Subjective but most of you will agree 19 century was REALLY dark times for Britain and game sadly isn’t serious dark moody but bright colorful with some comedy tone attached to it. Main villain is some comic ahh trying to be scary every time we see him from other people point of view and most of the time we can just see him being a clown like killing his own men because he just entered his room when he played on piano or recitation some text to sound scary. He looks more like far cry villain but without that soul. Also keep in mind that it is launched from Ubisoft connect. By the way Syndicate have the worst DLC in franchise called The Last Maharaja (if you will buy game but deluxe version and add to cart dreadful crimes and never try this DLC even if it comes for free in that version) The good. Amazing voice acting like top Noch. Actors know what they mean to say in what kind of situation with correct tone and grace. Combat I like it’s a budget version of Batman Arkham series combat easy with little thought put to it I prefer combat from AC3 AC4 Rogue than Syndicate but it’s not bad. City of London looks breathtaking and not only look but citizen’s too they are doing many things like children selling newspapers men trying to get attention so people would come to the shop kids playing pub games couples doing what couples usually do also there are interties that you can enter and look around. Mission are different and there is quite a few tailing missions but I can’t really bring any of them because most of them are unique in it’s own way. Gang wars are fun kind of because they last 20 seconds max. You can claim a district for yourself if you do enough tasks in them like kidnapping a templar or killing a templar of killing a camp of templars or freeing children from work. Not bad really will get repetitive later on but first time they are fun. Targets have those sandbox kind of way to kill them by that I mean in some other games like AC Mirage you can do specific task before you get to your target and you will have unique animation by killing them and pulling them of is so much fun. DLC dreadful crimes is one of the best DLC’s ever made. Being a detective in this time period interrogating characters to find who killed who is great and you can use eagle vision to help yourself and have look on things you would not see to top it of it’s 1$ on sale but it doesn’t come with deluxe version of the game which is stupid. A “DLC” which is in base game for you to experience but it is not required to complete the game but it is there that’s why I call it “DLC”. So it’s really cool but not long like 30 minutes long it’s about WW1 you play as Lydia Frye a descendant of Eve Frye from base story you are walking in city just killing spy’s or destroying planes or stealing documents etc. I really would like to see a WW1 or WW2 AC game but from Shadows and historical inaccuracy I prefer not getting the game like that if you will look at newest WW2 game called COD Vanguard and how bad it was. Character progression is deep but simple basically you got weapons 3 of them brass knuckles cane and kukri they all got different animations I never noticed a difference so go with one that you just like. Guns lots of them but you will use the one that deals highest damage (lv). Jacob got belt and Eve have cape difference between them that is you can use belt only on Jacob and cape on Eve. Belt gives more defense than cape but less stealth than cape and vice versa. Outfits are good looking but simplified customization from unity basically you choose one suit that gives you best buffs like more damage to cane sword or less detection or more bombs. There are gang upgrades most of them useless but you will look at it and probably say the same thing. Overall solid 7/10

AC Syndicate is the definition of ‘meh’. The main story? Phoned-in filler — side quests disguised as plot. Somehow the Jack the Ripper DLC outshines the whole base game! Yeah, Evie and Jacob’s tag-team gimmick is fun... for 2 hours. But climbing Victorian London can’t hide the copy-paste liberate-the-borough grind. This ain’t broken like Unity... just painfully average. The moment Ubisoft’s AC formula started smelling like stale tea. ☕️ #DownhillFromHere

I can't recommend any Ubisoft experience, please let this company die so creativity can find itself back to us. Are you a Ubisoft developer? First job? In between? I feel for you. I went through years of schooling and graduate "never again suicide experience" just to come falling back to the real world of corporatism. Image wanting to express art and human expression only to be talked about your bathroom break times during your corporate review. Great games are either coming of that or they're not, stop buying Ubisoft, its all the same.

Estou surpreso com esse jogo. Finalizá-lo foi divertido e interessante. Sinto-me muito livre no mapa e as missões secundárias acabam me atraindo mais do que nos jogos anteriores. Não é tedioso e tem uma mecânica incrível com o gancho e as finalizações. Apesar disso, a missão principal pareceu curta e rápida de se progredir, o que é contrabalanceado com mais tempo para realizar as missões opcionais e conquistas de território, nas quais se aprofundam as personalidades dos personagens e surgem Easter Eggs dos jogos antigos. A única coisa que deixa a desejar é o grande potencial steampunk que esse jogo poderia trazer, além do tom macabro do final dos anos 1880, com vampiros e Frankenstein.

Its pretty fun some glitches but overall fun

Wouldnt be a assassin creed game without its janky-ness

I cannot remember I have hated a gameplay as much as this! I have massive appreciation for Assasins creed 2 and all in the Ezio series. And that is my top most favorite of all times. And from there to come to this abomination of a gameplay and storyline, it's like Ubisoft DID NOT even try! How can they manage to make something so good and years later something so bad? I hope they have learned their lessons with some of the Assasins creed game failing. Hated this game with life and soul

great game ,the gameplay is smooth the story is aslo great,the depection of london is fantastic.Great game for players who want to play steath type of games

Loved the era of the game. Enjoyed the characters. Wasn't able to access a couple of events which was troubling and the game did crash on me a couple of times.

Game got updated so you can start a new playthrough from the settings menu.

if ur complaining about the flying carriges its funny tbh

good enough to play

one of the best modern ac games

the game is really good.
