GK has done a full review of the new Assassin's Creed: Syndicate from Ubisoft.
More:
"Assassin’s Creed Syndicate attempts to steady last year’s rocking boat by cutting back wildly on the ambition of the game. There’s no co-op or multiplayer and no companion app. And there’s little attempt to mix up the tried-and-tested gameplay of past Assassin’s games. The one main nod towards improving the world traversal is to add in the use of a grapple hook, that you can use to both ascend buildings faster, but also to zip-wire between gaps."
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.
