In terms of setting and world design Syndicate is beyond S tier, I remember feeling transported directly into that period of history, the story was nothing mind blowing but I do remember enjoying it a lot when it came out. The driving was also a lot of fun.

[@Redshield_84]

Syndicate was actually my first AC game I played. I remember it being on sale on the PS Store, and I bought it and it was a blast. It may not be the greatest AC title, but it’s the one that got me into the series that I still love today!

Crazy how in syndicate you can find one guy singing “leave her Johnny leave her” which is the shanty in black flag, and you can find some people playing cricket in the courtyard area to the left or in front of Big Ben.

[@AxelOwnz]

Sydicate is pretty high on my list of favorite AC games. I love the setting and stealth gameplay. I also Evie, although didn't like Jacob as much. I think the main thing that drags it down a bit for me is the story is too low stakes and not dark enough for the time period. Starrick was also a terrible villain. Still for me the things I like outweigh the bad.

[@eternalglow6483]

It’s been like 10 years since I played the game but from what remember he was one of the best villains in the entire series. I could be remembering that wrong though

@@eternalglow6483 I think you are. Starrick was the stereotypical "I'm a villain, because I'm bad, muahahauahau" type. No personality, no deeper meaning + he was complete fictional. Just a name behind a checklist of things to do in the game.

I played Syndicate for the first time at the peak of the pandemic and it’s honestly one of my favorite entries and has the best traversal in the franchise imo despite some of the story’s flaws. The Industrial Revolution is also one of my favorite eras in history so it’ll always have a special place in my heart for that ❤

[@christophermichaelclarence6003]

Couldn’t agre more. It was the Victorian Era when Great Britain was Powerhouse. Love the setting

[@chillhouse2490]

Syndicate is very flawed, but it’s still my number 1 fav game in the franchise. I just love the setting so much, and the stealth in this game is just amazing; arguably the most polished stealth we’ve ever gotten from AC. Before anyone says anything about me; I’ve played almost every AC game including Altair‘s Chronicles

[@Phantom3616G]

I like how they created two different characters that have different qualities because it looks fun to play when you get the hang of it

[@TheChilipepper77]

I’m playing this for the first time now, and I’ll say that it’s one of my favorites, I like the setting, the combat is simple enough and easy to pick up, I like the twins, and the grapple gun is a god send

[@fakjbf3129]

20:18 Unity also had different difficulty levels for various districts displayed on the map. They just used the number of diamonds rather than explicit levels. But before that Black Flag had different difficulty levels for regions of the Caribbean, and I believe that was marked with explicit levels.

[@oevereng]

Both unity and syndicate are good games with stunning visuals for its time

[@darthva31]

With much more care, both Unity and Syndicate could have been peak AC. But thanks to Unity's rushed launch, the series, while still enjoyable, might not reach that peak again. Mirage is on the right direction so fingers crossed for Codename: Red and Hexe.

[@scarfejs_]

Mirage is not an ac game its only called that for sales , dont be a mere consumer…

[@skylessadim]

A solid mid game in my opinion, although I completely understand why people love it. Walking and jumping around London streets seeing the landmarks was really fun, as well as the fact that I was already a big fan of Victorian age fashion. For me the main drawbacks were the characters. It honestly seemed like real character development didn’t really happen until the end. Every mainline cutscene was just Evie and Jacob arguing over what their father said or something along those lines. It wasn’t until literally the final battle did things really shape up for them. Side missions were fun, a liked slowly liberating London from the gangs and the optional boss fights was a nice touch. There was always something to do for my little ADHD brain to go off and do before realising that I have to do something else before I sod off to bed. Combat was also kind of ok for me. Nothing really groundbreaking but different. The only real complaint for me is enemy types. They all seem kinda samey, just one type tends to block a lot more than the other, however it’s still fun to knock the piss outta people in the fight clubs. Overall not my favorite but certainly not terrible.

[@josephnus]

For me personally, I enjoyed playing Syndicate more than the AC3 even. I also loved the interpretation of London on Industrial Revolution, which I think is pretty accurate. I’m still a bit surprised to see that people didn’t liked it because it keep using the same formula over and over again. Cause that wasn’t the case for me

[@HMCuber]

[@notesonwheels]

By the way, figure i'll drop the info here and hope you see it. From insider info from someone who was working 10 years ago on the Comic line of Minerva: AC Syndicate ending and especially the DLC were supposed to lead to Jacob becoming Jack the ripper. The first Jack the ripper mission on the main game shows a lot of "whispers" which are in fact inside Jacob himself. The DLC was originally made so, but they changed it because of the Odyssey storyline which was at the time in drafts (Origins and Odyssey drafts were being made by teams much much earlier than release). The story was changed last minute, but most elements remained: the rooks is the bad gang that Evie fights, and would you notice that Jack is NEVER shown, even when you win him, and Jacob is only shown once, in the end. The whole story and game was developed to end with the revelation that Jack was Jacob and Evie defeats him. But two siblings going against each other was to be dropped, so that Odyssey could happen. And it did. Also, the best part of the game, the World War glitch memory, was added later, for the comic line mentioned. And it is by far one of the best moments in AC Syndicate, and to this day the most modern AC memory.

[@SegaChris5]

I honestly remembering loving syndicate. I just hate how it was 1 save file per account, and if you have it digital, you can't do new playthroughs. Probably it's biggest blunder to me

[@JeffWaynee]

I love Syndicate, and just yesterday completed my 3rd playthrough.

[@ricardotillman3835]

How you do multiple play throughs?

[@vodkavecz]

I think Evie's invisibility ability should've rather been tied to that endgame isu clothes she can unlock. Would make more sense. Overall I enjoyed Syndicate way more than Unity.

[@JonCrs10]

And if not, maybe she could have had a default outfit that looked as inconspicuous as Jacob's default rags so that it could be explained as the "sexist Victorian dismissal of women" or something. But no, she looks like Steampunk Lady Ezio while Jacob is only a tad more ornate than most NPCs

[@vodkavecz]

@JonCrs10 social stealth was always funny like that, because your assassin outfit always stood out from the crowd. Social stealth was only ever done well in AC Liberation.

[@AndreLH1]

This is one of my favorite Assassin’s creed games. I personally like the combat because it’s very unique, the stealth is amazing, the parkour is very clean, I love taking over bases, the WW1 extra missions are AWESOME and the DLC is also great.

[@DarthRen12]

I can understand why some people would initially think parkour is pointless in syndicate, but I have to admit that I barely used carriages when I played Syndicated for the first time and whenever I decide to free roam in my free time.

[@LeoStableford]

Syndicate is a game of moments, picking off blighters, liberating child workers, the black box missions, in those individual moments the game drips atmosphere, it's a good game to just hang about and soak up the vibes in. This even allows them to just about get away with the overly weird "Dreadful Crimes" mission strand which was a PS4 exclusive at one time having your Frye of choice solve a number of Victorian penny dreadful style crime mysteries. But if you stop too long to think about the actual story which is that a man with mutton chops finds a golden scarf that heals all the boo boos and the Frye twins take over the London underworld to kill him and hide the scarves it's distinctly underwhelming. But some of the hit list targets on the way are far better mini-bosses, the hospital surgeon madly slicing into vulnerable people, for example. The whole thing is ridiculously inconsistent but if you can compartmentalize it a lot of it is fun. Just don't try to make it cohere in your head because that will end up with you in Lambeth Asylum, for sure.

[@Edward_Ardy4671]

Man I wish that WW1 segment wasn't so short

[@dxjjw]

I feel like Syndicate gets massively overlooked. Yes the parkour got simplified slightly compared to Unity but honestly the stealth is much better and the world/level design is top tier for the series.

[@thebatmanofneo-gotham5667]

Honestly, the fact that the initial serious tone of Syndicate was ditched is what did this game a disservice, in my opinion. Sure, I get that other AC fans like this game the way it is, and that's perfectly fine; but to me, the overtly goofy and whimsical tone of the game makes it difficult for me to stay invested in the story and its two main characters. Had Ubisoft just stuck with the original plan of having Syndicate be a gritty depiction of Victorian London with the character of Samuel Faye, my thoughts on this entry would be far more positive. Instead, what I'm left with is a game that took the idea of being lighthearted a tad too literally, to the point that Syndicate feels less like an Assassin's Creed game and more like a parody of one. It also doesn't help that the world of Victorian London - while beautifully recreated, don't get me wrong - is not a good environment that lends itself to parkour, or that the combat is just a button-mashing mess that looks like Tom and Jerry or the Looney Tunes, or that Crawford Starrick is painfully non-threatening and underwhelming as a main villain. Crucial factors like that just makes this game a slog.

[@cameronsalas2091]

Amazing video. Also, i’ve never played any Yakuza games before, but i’d be more than excited to learn about it if you made a video on it! Say the lore or anything else! I love assassins creed, but i’ll watch your videos no matter what content you release

[@MarioKaiba]

Personally, I loved Syndicate. I started playing the series late with Black Flag (still my favorite), but Syndicate took place in an important time for London. Though I wish that you could play more as Evie, I personally liked her over Jacob due to her more stealthy approach to things. My only issue is that I didn't 100% the main game before playing the Jack the Ripper DLC... it's fear mechanic spoiled me and made playing the main game again difficult. The only things I hated about that DLC were that you were stuck with Knuckle Dusters as a melee weapon and that you couldn't access any of your gear from the main game. But overall Syndicate isn't bad.

[@Bobbybobberton21]

I just finished my second play through of syndicate and loved it. I didn’t want it to end by the time I finished which surprised me. I think I was so annoyed from unity that is ruined my first play of the game. I now think syndicate is in my top 5 or 6

[@occi3746]

Game would be absolutely amazing with a HUD feature to disable eagle eye wallhacks like Origins. Using the kidnap mechanic to scout areas out instead of just clicking V would give the mechanic more utility and make the game much more engaging and thought provoking

[@tryhardnobouken465]

I hope Modders tackel the problem of not being able to manual Jump in the game, and maybe restore some old pre-release features like a swinging grappeling hook even tho i think that will be hard to implement, It would give Syndicate atleast 2-3 more Points in reguards to gameplay with Fan Reviews.

[@HistoryMonarch1999]

I kinda wished they delved more into the labor side of things. The gangs are good but when I played the karl Marx missions I was hoping there would be more assassins helping the working class narratively like organize strikes to distract factories to sneak in maybe or maybe they shift their strategy as they realize that even if they beat starrick the system he thrived in is still there and they should do their best to help the people or make changes. Like with starrick controlling everything there could’ve been something about monopolization, the treatment of workers in the name of progress

[@rootpower8664]

Funny timing, I finished the game on PS4 the same day you uploaded your video. I delayed playing the game until now because I thought the combat looked weird and unsatisfying, not to mention I heard the story was underwhelming. I was right to worry in the end, out of all the AC games, Syndicate's story and characters did not get me hooked compared to previous games. The stealth and the setting on the other hand are amazing, I have to give the game credit for that.

[@notesonwheels]

I’ll break up the generally similar opinions in the comment section: god I hate Syndicate. It was such a massive dumbing down of the things Unity tried, rather than polishing them. It was the first game to introduce some of the rpg style gear unlocks (remember that Unity’s leveling was based on the gear you bought, not the other way around). The characters are flat and annoying, Evie is the only one I kind of care about. If it weren’t for Odyssey’s existence this would still be my least favorite, it makes me sad to remember it exists.

AC Syndicate sits right at the top of all AC games for me, alongside Odyssey. Syndicate has everything while also being oddly minimalist. The setting is absolutely out of this world! The city feels so lively, and there is always something going on, all those beautiful advertising designs, the outfits, the landscapes and the citiscape. The soundtrack is beautiful, the story is good, the characters are witty and engaging, but the traversal of the world is absolutely top tier. Your own train? Zooming across rooftops? Sign me up! And I loved combat, fighting with a cane was superior. I literally can't find a single flaw in this game for myself. I hope more people give it a chance and enjoy it as much as I did :)

[@technounionrepresentative4274]

I don't love it as much as others, i like it more than odessy and valhalla, The world is gorgeous, one of my favorites, i did like the twins when they actually were together, i feel like they were apart too much, i think the game would feel more fresh if the twins intersected more, also if gameplay was more different between the 2, Like if jacob was this brutish tank and if evie was a quick stealthy fighter and you could swap mid fight (like batman and robin in arkham knight) that would make the game fresh, But as is in the game it's quite mid, other than animation changee there is not much difference. I did not mind the wide streets personally The collectables are meaningless imo The story is quite forgettable and i won't get too into it, Overall 5/10 Perfectly mid, looks nice but could have been soo much better

i only for the first time played syndicate this year. and i have to be honest. its genuinely my fave of all the AC games. despite the bugs and some repetetive content. it has a lot of soul. the historical characters are fun. and the WW1 segment alone. even if i didnt like anything else would be worth picking up the game for alone. i dont think its worth its full price. but for the cheap price i got on the steam sale. it was perfect

[@rajuthefish4627]

In my opinion, AC Syndicat could have been a great game. I enjoyed the missions with the historical figures. But there was not enough build up for the assassination missions. You start a sequence, find out that Starrick has some person in some field and you must kill them. You do 3-4 missions in which there is almost no build up and just little information about the villains. But the actual assassination missions were good. I felt the combat and the Parkour could be improved. The Thames and the Carriage missions were also pretty good. Overall, it's worth playing for the fun gameplay. A good 6.5/10

[@Merty1388]

Syndicate is possibly my favorite AC after Brotherhood and Revelations honestly. Industrial revolution is a great setting, stealth is possibly the best it ever was in this series, especially with the inclusion of kidnapping system which allows you to create your own social stealth zones even in restricted areas instead of splitting stealth segments into "tailing", "classical stealth" and "social stealth" unlike the rest of the series. I even liked the rope launcher because AC's parkour was always slow and clunky honestly even compared to Prince of Persia or especially compared to Mirror's Edge, rope launcher was a nice way gain altitude. Despite it's pros it's still flawed. I didn't liked how they implemented dual protagonists despite it being the best example of dual protagonist games, more missions should've allowed us to switch between Jacob and Evie and control both of them in the same mission rather than just final mission, they should've implemented a coop option, Unity already had coop, no idea why they removed it in Syndicate despite running on the same blueprint. Despite it's flaws one of the most underrated games in this series imo.

Personally loved syndicate, and it's one of my favourites. I played on pc back in day and it was extremely good looking at highest settings. It wasn't exactly changing, but it was really really fun. The fighting mechanics made it very easy to feel overpowered, but fuck me it was fun. The parkour was the best it's ever been imo. I loved the setting, the humour and even the challenges didn't necessarily feel like bloat, because...it was fun. Origins is probably my favourite, but that's more to do with Bayek, the fight mechanics and parkour are definitely less fun and more dark souls esque

So much potential

[@KingInfernagon]

Played Syndicate months ago in my journey to Platinum all mainline AC games that I haven't played yet and I must say that even though it was my most anticipated one, it was kinda boring at most times and left me disappointed. Jacob never clicked but Evie kinda filled that hole for me. I get how they're trying to contrast the twins in both story and gameplay and I think it worked for the most part. The open world is beautiful and probably my 2nd favorite (next to Origins) despite the limited parkour. Its both the narrative and combat that ruins it for me. The brawl type combat (which had a lot of potential) just ended up being a mashfest. The story's generic and doesn't really utilize the time setting to its fullest (especially the modern day, that stuff dragged on). Overall, I comeback to Syndicate when I'm feeling the urge to ride a carriage and explore London. Its majestic looking in those wide streets and massive buildings while it also achieves the depressing and sickful feeling in its darkest alleys. It also probably has the most unique safe house I've ever seen! Do I like the narrative? Kinda, at times it showed promise. Is the combat my cup of tea? Not even close. But seeing how London was recreated in this time period amazes me and its something I appreciate and love in what I think is a mediocre game

I liked syndicate But the broken state of the game and the glitched meaning I had wasted 58 hrs and a multitude of bugs that made unity looks the most polished AC game Still would see it as a superior unity if only it wasn’t that freaking broken on consoles

'Quite literally turning into John Cena' XD

[@nicholaslindsey7087]

Probably would be better if Evie was the only playable character. Cause her brother is fricken annoying and juvenile

[@geauxst9]

It was the first AC game that I didn’t finish

[@darkstarknight4616]

Even to this very day I STILL cannot get the "World's Greatest Cane Sword" I did EVERY race and fight club and STILL didn't get it. I even uninstalled then reinstalled the game and still nothing, all because of a stupid bug Ubisoft didn't check to fix! 😡💢

It's amazing that it has 66% of 5 stars

[@Theabandonedandtall]

I beat syndicate like two weeks ago, what a coincidence

[@raulmor]

How do you manage to have the hood ON all time?

[@wafflboix]

I'm late to this but always sneaking is how

[@allnamestakenlol]

This is the only AC that has never appealed to me even a little.
