A new Assassin's Creed is revealed and hyped every year and it's becoming exhausting.
Assassin's Creed Syndicate is free on PC when you have a Ubisoft Connect account until December 6th, 2023.
I loved Syndicate! I played this game mostly as Evie because of her stealth abilities and loved using a cane sword.
GF365: "Is Assassin's Creed Syndicate worth playing in 2023? Many veteran fans consider this game the last “real” Assassin's Creed game. Did that opinion age well? How does Syndicate compare against the previous game, Unity?"
I thought it was great back in the day. Evie was a master at stealth, while Jacob was the fighter. Good 💩!
It was the last in the series I actually liked, before they went full-blown grindfest. This game had grindy features too, but at least it had some limits.
My biggest issue was that it didn't move the modern story forward which was a let down. Still a fun game, though.
Definitely, it is a great game with a really detailed setting.
Unfortunately, you can't play it on PS5 though as it has a major flickering glitch with the lighting/shadows which makes it unplayable.
Wow, it's actually happening: Ubisoft will deploy a patch for Assassin's Creed Syndicate on PS4 tomorrow (that's the 23rd February) which will finally fix the game's flickering visuals when being played on PS5 via backwards compatibility.
I just wish they'd patch Black Flag on consoles to enable 60 fps. Of all the earlier AC titles that was my favourite.
That's really cool that Ubisoft is finally patching this even though its too late for me. I never thought they were going to patch it, so I beat AC Syndicate on PS4 end of last year. That's one game off my backlog.
It's cool. It's just a bummer they didn't take the opportunity to also unlock the framerate.
Looks good, just wish the grappling hook worked more like it does in Dying Light, that game has the best grappling hook I've used.
My emotion for every AC reveal has been the same since 1. Meh...
the fact that the game already has a release date due for this year doesnt help. Id prefer to let the devs take their time to build on this game than to get the same bloody mess we've got last year. this dame already has a season pass announced.....
i cant help but blame ourselves for this mess. the more we drop funds to these yearly releases the more damage they do to their franchises...
"If there’s one series in my history of playing video games that has always been able to get me hyped for its next release, it is Assassin’s Creed.
The problem is, it also always stabs me in the back.
Each year around this time, Ubisoft does the former. They release an epic trailer for the next game in the stealthy, stabby series set to come out in the fall, and subsequently, each year around this time, I open an Amazon window and pre-order said game (and both of these occurred today)."

I learned to just never preorder Ass Creed. Every year the game is usually half off on Black Friday or leading up to Xmas and by that time most of its bugs an issues will be fixed. I remember getting Unity and Black Flag digital code for 25 bucks on xone like the first week of december
