Well this blew up for some reason. Thanks for watching, subscribe if you want. I push videos out once in a lifetime (when I feel like it) 👍 Interesting comments here btw. Keep it up guys! Personally Syndicate and Unity are my personal favourites after AC3. Wished they continued the plot they had but unfortunately nope.
Fr that could honestly be said about every game after Ezio's trilogy. I think they could've made a trilogy for Connor, Edward, Arno, Jacob & Evie, and Bayek. Mirage looks promising tho 👀
Hi. My favourite is AC Black Flag, IV .. It is the best and it even worked on a GT220 .. As a kid, I had played it with 20-30FPS and I was damn happy it was working
Wow. I found this video right after I started playing it again 😅 I loved syndicate, Unity, played unity for the 2nd time a year ago, Now it's time for the AC syndicate. And now I am playing in 4K which is amazing considering it was released 6 years ago. the only part that is annoying to me, is the boroughs missions which are kinda repetitive and boring a lot of times,
When people criticize this game, most of them seem to say Jacob was pretty bad but they tend to forget that Evie was pretty good. Tbh, I liked the interaction and sibling rivalry they both had. Both characters defined each other more.
The only issue is their definitions. There wasn't much depth, if any. Jacob was the stupid reckless one who went head first into everything, and Evie was the well thought out one who was constantly fixing Jacobs's mistakes. That's was it. There wasn't any major character development or anything. They just stayed the same throughout the whole game.
Yeah thank you everyone if you must know it was cancer and thank you Grandma for spending your hard-earned money on this game for your grandson to play it
After seeing that horrendous cloth physics of Valhalla(if you can even call it physics) Eve's 30fps locked cape simulation feels like a blessing. On a side note Eve's feminine walking posture is so underrated. She was like the perfect blend of badassary and beauty.
People only start to appreciate something when it's gone. I hope that people who hated the old ACs can still have fun hitting a guy 40 times to kill him and gain 15 XP then repeat that for 70+ hours so they can have enough level to fight the legendary Norse God for that historically accurate neon armor that shoots lazer now. Or maybe they can just get that with $10.
Idk man i got a trainer for odyssey and it was fun after that, and i didnt have any real problems with origins or valhalla, so far ive enjoyed every ac ive ever played the old and the new and i think the old style fits the city setting and the rpg style fits the vast landscape settings better. There are some things id change with all of them but theyre still above all other games for me.
Honestly. All that unnecessary hate, while, yes, justified, but not the extents that we got. Now Ubisoft got scared of AC dying as a whole and completely changed the brand. Origins was good, but they’ve obviously gone overboard, and cheap, and stale, and easy, while thinking they’re listening to their fans when they barely even try, and they know they don’t. Who knows what Mirage will be; since we know Ubisoft is actually trying to pander to their fanbase for once for this game I hope maybe we’ll get some Last Of Us, actually good fucking triple A game type feel for this new NextGen 2023 AC. I have hopes for this Mirage game but at the same time Ubisoft is dead to me so I won’t be surprised if shit goes to shit.
as many issues as i have with syndicate, this is one of the few games, alongside unity, where i could enjoy just walking around the city. there's something special about syndicate and unity when it comes to their representations of their respective cities, and i really miss that aspect of those games
yup. i really think syndicate/unity was peak gameplay. it felt way more assassin-y and the environments helped that a lot but also the stealth and assassin mechanics
All the ACs have this aspect, Black flag has a beautiful representation of La Habana, Origins of Alexandria, Memphis and Giza, Odyssey with Athens, Delphi and Sparta, in my opinion all ACs sagas stand out for this.
I completely agree. I loved both games and I was disappointed in the whole RPG shift when Origins and Odyssey came out. Syndicate has a special place in my heart cause you can play a female character and I had so much fun with all the side quests. Hope they can bring it back to something like this again but better for the next games.
Something that really stuck out to me in Syndicate was the music. Assassins creed games have always had great soundtracks but Syndicates really blew me away
@Dd I mean you can hear a bit of it in this video which is why I commented. Although I never played Valhalla so I wouldn't know how they compare. Merry xmas sir
Well that's a credit to AC Unity. In my opinion, Syndicate hinders a lot of the parkour with the Batman grapple hook. Not only does it take away from traversing the city, the city itself was designed with the grapple in mind, meaning the fantastic work that was put into Unity to ensure parkour flowed smoothly is all but absent in this game.
Syndicate certainly makes running around in factories to strike at your enemies with maximum efficiency super satisfying. Some of the smaller buildings are fun too, but overall, the world never allows you to get a good flow going.
did you play the game, the parkour is pure pain, most of the time you didn't even go the way you wanted. the zipline get boring after a few hour. Unity was peaked imo
I don't really get post-game depression anymore but I remember Syndicate giving me my biggest case of it, probably ever. I loved London, I loved Evie, I loved the atmosphere and it felt good to play.
It's the setting that makes it the best ac game for me. The combat for me was too easy and repetitive. I want a open world game with a dark, historical setting again. I hope AC Hexe is it in the future.
I have my issues with this game but it will forever be one of my favorites. The time in history, the characters, the music, London in and of itself... It's just beautiful and I could play it a million times more.
Syndicate was my absolute favorite, always will be. Not only was the time setting, and feature of boy girl twins perfectly tailored to me, but the gameplay was just SO satisfying. Never understood how people could hate it.
Same. I could never really understand why some people hated it. I played the story twice and every once in a while I just like getting on the game and doing some of the territory missions. Syndicate has the best gameplay imo
I feel like Syndicate got hate because of the odd combat system, hood "toggle" and the overall plot. I honestly loved the game, but I have to agree on the fact that the plot wasn't the greatest, and while I loved the twins characters and dynamics, some characters were straight up taken from a cartoon and dragged the plot down imo.
I recently downloaded it after 6 years ago and played it until the end, the game is still very good and will always be my favorite of the entire franchise.
Despite the crazy work they did with odyssey when it comes to world building. THis map stays my favourite. It feels so real, everything is real size, the city is alive. Never was an assassin's creed city more immersive. Even unity with the huge crowd didn't seem that immersive
@Meister Wu No, it's underrated. The last TRUE Assassins Creed game before they started trying to emulate The Witcher 3... I'm looking at you Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla
@rickorso bc the assassins creed formula was changed ever since they made theyre games like waw I stopped buying them I just cant play those types of games I miss the old formula like ac1 etc
i really love syndicate-- from the music, the atmosphere, the map designs to the characters and their personalities. story was also really good and in-line with the og assassin's creed plotline. i don't understand why people don't like it so much; evidently it's way better compared to the new gen assassin's creed games. i'd like to consider the last old gen game in the series tbh.
@le Madonne fiorite I don’t know whether I agree or disagree with that statement. I’d say Syndicate is more underrated because it’s usually hated and looked down upon. Whereas AC3 is usually considered the black sheep of the franchise, a beautifully ugly middle child. Both are definitely better than people give them credit for, and that’s coming from someone who was on the hate train for them until a few months ago, where I replayed them.
@Esteban yea I remember that, jacob was more of a brass knuckles guy and evie was more of a canesword gal, evie liked knives more and jacob liked guns more I think. I should replay the game tbh, the scale of the map is amazing and the mechanical dynamic between the two characters is pretty cool
i really like the enemy proximity of older ac than the latest one... it only shows red silhouette when obstructed by objects...while in Valhalla it annoys me when red glow stay for a few seconds even not obstructed by objects it even persists during assassination animation
Unity and Syndicate are underrated games. Played both since 2014/2015 and still not tire of them. Luckily I never had any of the problems with bugs in Unity. Storywise there are better AC games but the settings and atmosphere of these two games make up for it. Unity and Syndicate are games where you can just walk around and appreciate the city. I traveled to London for the first time some days before Syndicate came out so it was cool seeing places in game.
This was a very good ac. I loved the idea of how evie and her brother had a literal gang, and how you have to take territory and how you can fight gang battles. The duel weild staff blade weapon is also amazing on this game with evie, I don't know why but they need to bring that weapon back. A great game, had some flaws like bad guys being the literal same bad guy npcs in terms of how they looked, and the map was a little big.
This game was very underrated. It just got overshadowed by being sandwiched between Unity and Origins. It came out at a time when fatigue from a new entry every year had really set in, and tbh that affected Unity as well. If these games got to stand on their own, they would've been more well received. Also sad that each "era" of assassin's creed tends to have 3-4 games, but the Unity/Syndicate era was cut short in favor of the RPG era starting with Origins
I genuinely think it was just fashionable and trendy to hate on Syndicate and it made people feel a bit elitist/gatekeeper’ish to chime in on the hate when in reality it was such a gem and still is. It’s the only AC game I often miss and come back to every year or two to experience Victorian London and the Frye twins and Jack the Ripper, etc.
Sometimes the game and the controls were clunky, sometimes there were bugs, but, man was the atmosphere so good. One the best I’ve seen, the atmosphere of an industrialised London world had so much potential and they did not waste it.
Absolutely loved Assassin's Creed Syndicate 💖 This game is my favorite out of all the AC games. Although I agree, the characters need more development in the narrative I still love Jacob. (Probably because I'm a stickler for characters like Jacob hehe)
The soundtrack in this game is amazing it comes together great with the environment it is just a great game dispite some of the bugs. I enjoyed every second of this game.
i never understood why people criticised this game so much. it had a good plot, the siblings had very funny interactions, stealth was on point. True AC game
im extremely looking forward to mirage after playing unity and syndicate again this year. Really exciting to see new contents about the assassins in present days with Basim and William
I found AC Syndacate a surprise and yes, it does seem a real AC. I appreciate the last ACs, but there is in my opinion no comparison at all ! Such a great game ! I got its platinum after all ;)
Hadn't played an Assassin's Creed game in a long time, this came up for free on xbox so thought I would give it a go. Enjoyed every minute of it and it got me back into playing Assassin's Creed.
Syndicate was the last time I really enjoyed playing an Assassins Creed game. I loved the settings of the city (especially Unity) and I think that's what the new games lack, it's empty space. Cruising around Egypt, Greece, and now Nordic Lands just feels so empty. The cities were compact and brought life, yet didn't feel too small and constricting. The newer games are massive and graphically impressive, but it's just not the same.
Say what you want about Syndicate and it's problems, but there's no assassin's creed game that can top the level of stealth this game had. It's truly a gem.
It was good Syndicate. I liked how you could swap between the brother and sister and do different missions. It still looks nice but it would be good if they did a next gen upgrade. I may re-install. I have the Jack the Ripper DLC but never played it.
Sometimes I wonder how this game would feel without the eagle vision and target marking feature, where you'd have to identify and keep track of enemies yourself and play smarter. I wonder how different or perhaps better all AC games would be like that.
I’ve finally playing Syndicate after skipping over it years ago, and man I honestly really like it. I loved Origins and Odyssey but I for sure missed the OG style of game. I’ve had a blast so far and might get the DLC
I happened to play this game when Batman : Gotham by Gaslight was released and this game with its rope launcher, capes and gadgets is the closest experience you can get to be a Victorian era Batman. Plus both game and movie has ripper story line.
I truly used to love this hame also almost goz platinium on this one except the beer and flower trophies were glitching but yeah. Evie had so much stealth and the graphics were pretty nice also it was still everything about juno. Still csnt believe they killed juno in a comic idk about
i got this game for christmas 2015 and i think this game is underrated, didn’t deserve the hate and probably the funnest assassin creed i played along with black flag
I honestly thought that people who pissed on this game back then are wild. Absolutely one of my faves. Obviously Eve is the better twin for me 😂 she's like invisible Jesus once you get her all maxed out.
I still play this game because it is so beautiful, optimized graphics and everything is just wow. Even tho, imo, this ain't an assassin's creed game, but I am thankful to them because they made this kind of game focused on 18th century. Whenever I wish something close to Peaky blinders, I play this from a time to time. 😂😍🔥
It's way more assassins creed then origins Odyssey and Valhalla pourkour is better traversal is better the animations when climbing and decending is superior the new so called assassins creed games especially Valhalla are not assassins creed atleast origins kinda tried
I enjoyed it very much back in 2015 with GTX 970. Then I played it again back in 2022 woth RTX 3070 at 4K. It was Stunning. I'm amazed to the output though draw distance is bad
The gameplay was pretty neat and the game was released polished but I think the main reason people didin’t like Syndicate that much is because of the story since they couldn’t use real people as the templars
The underrated Assassin's Creed Syndicate is assassin's creed that best reflects stealth in my opinion, and you really feel like you're playing an Assassin's Creed Game, it's really amazing
This was the game that brought me back to Assassins creed Games. It was simple no bullshit all about stealth and great level design to execute it. Acting and animation was just phenomenal, everything was just so perfect, except the combat. When i played this game I had left Origins, Oddessey both midway because I did not find them interesting. But this game encouraged me to Dig more in later AC games and I enjoyed those as well. For some reason AC games now have the worst starting 5 hours.
This is still my favorite assassins creed i ever played i just love industrial revolution and victorian age. I just hope so we will see another assassin set in 19th century, or early 20th century. It could be manhattan in 1890s or 1900s, but also Chicago but set in 1920s. Btw it could be interesting assassins creed set in san francisco before and during earthquake in 1906.
I’m an OG Unity player and lover. 2016, just 2 years after its release- I got it with my PS4. Due to certain circumstances I’ve barely been able to play my PS4 for the past 6 years like a regular human being, so I’ve always had the same games just sit there. Unity was one of them- back in the day I was a Unity God. Restarted 4 times now. But this year I downloaded Syndicate and I enjoy the game. The mechanics are Unity with some parkour taken away but benefited from with the zip line. But I like the change ups and how dark, and gritty, and atmospheric old style London is. I want to like Jacob but he’s just kind of a smug ass a lot of times in his dialogue and demeanor and he’s either racist “Greenie” or being protective of his sister. But I don’t let those feelings not enjoy his gameplay. I like Evie. She’s kind and gentle, but will also kill you in a moments notice. She’s mature and has humility. She’s cute too, but I try to not let myself feel any feelings for her character like that cause I just want to feel like I’m playing the stealthy, deadly, badass Evie Frey with her unique looking black assassins cloth with the red hints. But I have to admit, I definitely do care about the side content more than the story. I also love Jacobs “Outdoorsmen” suit (the one in the promotions for the game) and hood of it; how it makes him look menacing. Cause he’s unhinged. I’ll have to replay all of Unity and Dead Kings again to make modern memories, but Unity to me is that unique assassin blue of Arno’s Initiate Assassin robes. While Syndicate gives me sleek black and red hint vibes. Like the colors in it’s title. I love both games. Going to eventually play all of the AC games.
@He was #1 because the fighting system wasn't objectively bad. It had an arcade combo style that some people liked and others didn't. But still better than the crap we got in origins and odyssey (where alexios literally kicked enemies across a field like they were hit by superman)
I think that a big reason why Syndicate had such a bad reputation is that 2015 was about the time when the hype for better and better graphics every year came to a stop.
I’ve always liked Syndicate from day one and it pisses me off a lot that people is missing it now in 2022. When this game came out everyone was disgusted by it and the two year stop that originated assassins creed origins came after the backlash they received after this game. Ubisoft thought we were bored of “real” assassins creed games, and now that they’ve switched it up to listen to us, we’re complaining that we miss the old games. Human beings are always the same 😅
Gaming
Well this blew up for some reason. Thanks for watching, subscribe if you want. I push videos out once in a lifetime (when I feel like it) 👍
Interesting comments here btw. Keep it up guys! Personally Syndicate and Unity are my personal favourites after AC3. Wished they continued the plot they had but unfortunately nope.
Lucky me then. I have both games!
Fr that could honestly be said about every game after Ezio's trilogy. I think they could've made a trilogy for Connor, Edward, Arno, Jacob & Evie, and Bayek.
Mirage looks promising tho 👀
Hi. My favourite is AC Black Flag, IV .. It is the best and it even worked on a GT220 .. As a kid, I had played it with 20-30FPS and I was damn happy it was working
Wow. I found this video right after I started playing it again 😅
I loved syndicate, Unity, played unity for the 2nd time a year ago,
Now it's time for the AC syndicate. And now I am playing in 4K which is amazing considering it was released 6 years ago. the only part that is annoying to me, is the boroughs missions which are kinda repetitive and boring a lot of times,
Same here... Played all ac games from 1 to rogue(not unity) and loved ac3 most... Played it multiple times
When people criticize this game, most of them seem to say Jacob was pretty bad but they tend to forget that Evie was pretty good.
Tbh, I liked the interaction and sibling rivalry they both had. Both characters defined each other more.
The only issue is their definitions. There wasn't much depth, if any.

There wasn't any major character development or anything. They just stayed the same throughout the whole game.
"Evie was good" we just gonna ignore the fact that the maharaja of India appeared out of nowhere and started dating her?
@E I never played that dlc
Nah the story, tone and charactors are bullshit.
Flat charactors only joking around, eventhough they are literly killing machienes.
This is terrifying
@E he didn't. Mr Henry Green did.
This was a great game and this was a game that my grandma got me one year for Christmas may she rest in peace
Im also so happy i got to experience this game it was really fun, and may your grandma rest in peace
W Grandma. May she Rest In Peace.
Yeah thank you everyone if you must know it was cancer and thank you Grandma for spending your hard-earned money on this game for your grandson to play it
Your grandma adored you and was amazing. May she rest in peace
@Will she did actually my grandmother and I were really close she had her faults so
After seeing that horrendous cloth physics of Valhalla(if you can even call it physics) Eve's 30fps locked cape simulation feels like a blessing. On a side note Eve's feminine walking posture is so underrated. She was like the perfect blend of badassary and beauty.
You can unlock the cloth physics on syndicate so It runs at 60
I always called it the "Bad Bitch" walk because that's really wat it is haha. I play Evie the most I think
I am sick and tired of playing chicks.
Best AC girl.
People only start to appreciate something when it's gone.
I hope that people who hated the old ACs can still have fun hitting a guy 40 times to kill him and gain 15 XP then repeat that for 70+ hours so they can have enough level to fight the legendary Norse God for that historically accurate neon armor that shoots lazer now.
Or maybe they can just get that with $10.
Not to mention the horrible combat in odyssey and origins
Idk man i got a trainer for odyssey and it was fun after that, and i didnt have any real problems with origins or valhalla, so far ive enjoyed every ac ive ever played the old and the new and i think the old style fits the city setting and the rpg style fits the vast landscape settings better. There are some things id change with all of them but theyre still above all other games for me.
Funny im replaying Valhalla with assassin build and i can kill nearly everyone with the hidden blade. Maybe youre playing wrong?
Lier, I've never had those issues.
Honestly. All that unnecessary hate, while, yes, justified, but not the extents that we got. Now Ubisoft got scared of AC dying as a whole and completely changed the brand.

Something that really stuck out to me in Syndicate was the music. Assassins creed games have always had great soundtracks but Syndicates really blew me away
It’s the violins. They are so good
Ikrrrr
My favorite is the chase one. I just don’t think it’s in the soundtrack and too bad. It’s that good.
when it play....the game had almost ZERO ambient music...something the partly remedied with valhalla
@Dd I mean you can hear a bit of it in this video which is why I commented. Although I never played Valhalla so I wouldn't know how they compare. Merry xmas sir
An underrated title of Assassin's Creed, the general fluidity and animations of the parkour and stealth are top, fast and snappy.
Well that's a credit to AC Unity. In my opinion, Syndicate hinders a lot of the parkour with the Batman grapple hook.
Not only does it take away from traversing the city, the city itself was designed with the grapple in mind, meaning the fantastic work that was put into Unity to ensure parkour flowed smoothly is all but absent in this game.
Syndicate certainly makes running around in factories to strike at your enemies with maximum efficiency super satisfying. Some of the smaller buildings are fun too, but overall, the world never allows you to get a good flow going.
did you play the game, the parkour is pure pain, most of the time you didn't even go the way you wanted. the zipline get boring after a few hour. Unity was peaked imo
Yeah and all Animations are copied and pasted from unity.
@TekkLord yes but it isn't bad, since Unity's animations are really good. Besides, it's not the first time they did it (and not the last)
I miss the old days where each new game took us further and further in history.
Of all the the games in the franchise, I truly believe that Syndicate is the most underrated.
Nah it was rogue
@Yull B.Allwright both good runner ups
@Yull B.Allwright rogue was not underrated ☠️
Revelations and Unity
I don't really get post-game depression anymore but I remember Syndicate giving me my biggest case of it, probably ever. I loved London, I loved Evie, I loved the atmosphere and it felt good to play.
It's the setting that makes it the best ac game for me. The combat for me was too easy and repetitive. I want a open world game with a dark, historical setting again. I hope AC Hexe is it in the future.
Yeah I really wish there could have been something like emergent quests for after the main story.
@Der Krampus kommt !Yeah I still haven't found a game with better setting yet.
Jacob was the main one in Syndicate, tho
Sometimes I wish we had a game like Syndicate but made by people who actually gave a shit about what they were doing...
I only wish they added a fucking time change menu. The game is so atmospheric during nighttime
@Rezandra Rizky Irianto - 19 If you're on PC just find a Cheat Engine Table or Camera Tools, and set the time of day using them
Too bad nobody gave a shit about this game too
this lol
I have my issues with this game but it will forever be one of my favorites. The time in history, the characters, the music, London in and of itself... It's just beautiful and I could play it a million times more.
Syndicate was my absolute favorite, always will be. Not only was the time setting, and feature of boy girl twins perfectly tailored to me, but the gameplay was just SO satisfying. Never understood how people could hate it.
I feel the same way Emma!
loved this game definitely one of my favorites but im sorry nothing is topping black flag for me that game is amazing
Same. I could never really understand why some people hated it. I played the story twice and every once in a while I just like getting on the game and doing some of the territory missions. Syndicate has the best gameplay imo
Yup, and Syndicate has the best stealth too

I recently downloaded it after 6 years ago and played it until the end, the game is still very good and will always be my favorite of the entire franchise.
2022 and holy shit the game still looks good
Better parkour than origins and odyssey xD
@L T not just that but the graphics / art style too
@L T They both have a different art style.
I think syndicate and unity have better graphics then valhalla
@Nagy Mark Robert 22 nah man origins is way better looking
Despite the crazy work they did with odyssey when it comes to world building. THis map stays my favourite. It feels so real, everything is real size, the city is alive. Never was an assassin's creed city more immersive. Even unity with the huge crowd didn't seem that immersive
man that went so smooth and clean this game is underrated af
it is not underrated. it's properly rated.
@Meister Wu it's an opinion lol, imo it's underrated aswell.
@Meister Wu No, it's underrated. The last TRUE Assassins Creed game before they started trying to emulate The Witcher 3... I'm looking at you Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla
@Missing Lynk Exactly, they're replicating W3 with new Creed games.
Syndicate was the last true AC game. After that it has just been a series of RPG and Mythology simulators with history as a mere backdrop.
My same exact idea, those new games seem to have lost history relation and stopped giving special feelings that only this series could give
@rickorso bc the assassins creed formula was changed ever since they made theyre games like waw I stopped buying them I just cant play those types of games I miss the old formula like ac1 etc
The last AC was Syndicat.
Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla are good games in generel, but no good AC.
Indeed. The new AC's just feel like Witcher 3 rip-offs. Lost their identity. That being said I did enjoy Odyssey.
I’ve been going back to play what I missed and origins might be the last good one
Don't care what anyone says this will be forever my favorite AC game
Easily my favorite AC game. Beautiful industrial age London. Decent story. Smooth combat and parkour. You're an assassin.
i really love syndicate-- from the music, the atmosphere, the map designs to the characters and their personalities. story was also really good and in-line with the og assassin's creed plotline. i don't understand why people don't like it so much; evidently it's way better compared to the new gen assassin's creed games. i'd like to consider the last old gen game in the series tbh.
Easily the most underrated AC game.
After Assasin's Creed 3
This, Unity and 3 are pretty underrated, though with Unity its terrible reputation is entirely Ubisoft's fault.
@le Madonne fiorite I don’t know whether I agree or disagree with that statement. I’d say Syndicate is more underrated because it’s usually hated and looked down upon. Whereas AC3 is usually considered the black sheep of the franchise, a beautifully ugly middle child. Both are definitely better than people give them credit for, and that’s coming from someone who was on the hate train for them until a few months ago, where I replayed them.
@Evžen Varga unity isn't underrated at all, atleast now
Evie is such an underrated assassin. Her daggers are OP as fuck.
jacob had them too but ok
@Emanoil Viziteu So did Eve, but ok
@Emanoil Viziteu They both could use any weapon yea, but I think they were better with certain ones?
@Jonathan Pilcher yes, eve has more daggers
@Esteban yea I remember that, jacob was more of a brass knuckles guy and evie was more of a canesword gal, evie liked knives more and jacob liked guns more I think. I should replay the game tbh, the scale of the map is amazing and the mechanical dynamic between the two characters is pretty cool
Will forever be the best and my favourite
i really like the enemy proximity of older ac than the latest one... it only shows red silhouette when obstructed by objects...while in Valhalla it annoys me when red glow stay for a few seconds even not obstructed by objects it even persists during assassination animation
Unity and Syndicate are underrated games. Played both since 2014/2015 and still not tire of them. Luckily I never had any of the problems with bugs in Unity. Storywise there are better AC games but the settings and atmosphere of these two games make up for it. Unity and Syndicate are games where you can just walk around and appreciate the city. I traveled to London for the first time some days before Syndicate came out so it was cool seeing places in game.
This was a very good ac. I loved the idea of how evie and her brother had a literal gang, and how you have to take territory and how you can fight gang battles. The duel weild staff blade weapon is also amazing on this game with evie, I don't know why but they need to bring that weapon back.
A great game, had some flaws like bad guys being the literal same bad guy npcs in terms of how they looked, and the map was a little big.
This game was very underrated. It just got overshadowed by being sandwiched between Unity and Origins. It came out at a time when fatigue from a new entry every year had really set in, and tbh that affected Unity as well. If these games got to stand on their own, they would've been more well received.
Also sad that each "era" of assassin's creed tends to have 3-4 games, but the Unity/Syndicate era was cut short in favor of the RPG era starting with Origins
I genuinely think it was just fashionable and trendy to hate on Syndicate and it made people feel a bit elitist/gatekeeper’ish to chime in on the hate when in reality it was such a gem and still is. It’s the only AC game I often miss and come back to every year or two to experience Victorian London and the Frye twins and Jack the Ripper, etc.
Sometimes the game and the controls were clunky, sometimes there were bugs, but, man was the atmosphere so good. One the best I’ve seen, the atmosphere of an industrialised London world had so much potential and they did not waste it.
One of my favourite AC games. Wish it had a 60 fps patch on the PS5 or that it was properly optimized on PC... True masterpiece
Absolutely loved Assassin's Creed Syndicate 💖
This game is my favorite out of all the AC games. Although I agree, the characters need more development in the narrative I still love Jacob.
(Probably because I'm a stickler for characters like Jacob hehe)
The soundtrack in this game is amazing it comes together great with the environment it is just a great game dispite some of the bugs. I enjoyed every second of this game.
My favourite AC. The atmosphere, the classical soundtracks, the architecture, gameplay? all just chef's kiss.
I love the nostalgic vibe syndicate gives
i never understood why people criticised this game so much. it had a good plot, the siblings had very funny interactions, stealth was on point. True AC game
im extremely looking forward to mirage after playing unity and syndicate again this year. Really exciting to see new contents about the assassins in present days with Basim and William
I keep coming back to this one because I love, love, love the setting and polarity between the two characters but can never seem to finish it
Haha, I've finished it and still keep coming back to it...
I love Syndicate! Story and Characters could be better but it's still one of my favorite. Wish it got a sequel.
For me, the thing who is chocking is the IA. They spot you so easily and the game became so much harder bc of that !
Excellent AC in my opinion
I found AC Syndacate a surprise and yes, it does seem a real AC. I appreciate the last ACs, but there is in my opinion no comparison at all ! Such a great game ! I got its platinum after all ;)
I loved Syndicate. One of my favorites. Walking around hunting Jack the Ripper? Man that’s just tooo dope.
super underrated game, and evie was a great character I wish we'd seen more of
The game is underrated.
I enjoyed watching it ! I bought the game a few months ago on steam and was having much more fun than with odyssey and valhalla together.
Hadn't played an Assassin's Creed game in a long time, this came up for free on xbox so thought I would give it a go. Enjoyed every minute of it and it got me back into playing Assassin's Creed.
Syndicate was the last time I really enjoyed playing an Assassins Creed game. I loved the settings of the city (especially Unity) and I think that's what the new games lack, it's empty space. Cruising around Egypt, Greece, and now Nordic Lands just feels so empty. The cities were compact and brought life, yet didn't feel too small and constricting. The newer games are massive and graphically impressive, but it's just not the same.
This game is seven years old. Goddamn, I'll never forget the first time I played it.
The assassination animations are so good! Wish Valhalla’s animations felt a little more impactful / speedier
Mannnn, those graphics look like they were made today.
The game was a technical masterpiece
Played this game day one and I'm still as fond of it as ever!
Say what you want about Syndicate and it's problems, but there's no assassin's creed game that can top the level of stealth this game had. It's truly a gem.
It was good Syndicate. I liked how you could swap between the brother and sister and do different missions. It still looks nice but it would be good if they did a next gen upgrade. I may re-install. I have the Jack the Ripper DLC but never played it.
Awesome game. No regrets buying this.
most underrated AC of them all. it's brilliant.
Honestly if this game kept unity's parkour and combat, it'd probably be my favorite ac game
To date this is my favorite AC game of all time and it is underrated but should be expound upon.
This game deserves at least a HD or even better 4K remaster for consoles! It was a brilliant game!
Definitely a remastered version, & remove that awful ezio shit.
Sometimes I wonder how this game would feel without the eagle vision and target marking feature, where you'd have to identify and keep track of enemies yourself and play smarter. I wonder how different or perhaps better all AC games would be like that.
It's especially nice going back to it with that mod that lets you keep hoods up on all outfits.
I still regularly play AC Syndicate, always have since launch. AC Syndicate, Origins and AC2 & Brotherhood are always the games I go back to.
I’ve finally playing Syndicate after skipping over it years ago, and man I honestly really like it. I loved Origins and Odyssey but I for sure missed the OG style of game. I’ve had a blast so far and might get the DLC
I happened to play this game when Batman : Gotham by Gaslight was released and this game with its rope launcher, capes and gadgets is the closest experience you can get to be a Victorian era Batman.
Plus both game and movie has ripper story line.
*It sucks that most people don't even know this game exist, one of the best I ever played*
Looks wicked! Really wanna play this one.
The last game in the series that still felt like Assassin's Creed.
hopefully mirage will bring this back
I truly used to love this hame also almost goz platinium on this one except the beer and flower trophies were glitching but yeah. Evie had so much stealth and the graphics were pretty nice also it was still everything about juno. Still csnt believe they killed juno in a comic idk about
Crazy how much we criticized this game when i just now see its an actual assassin game unlike the last few thank you for this
the most underrated AC and its not close. i love this game and this was truly the last AC game.
i got this game for christmas 2015 and i think this game is underrated, didn’t deserve the hate and probably the funnest assassin creed i played along with black flag
jogo bonito, jogo formoso.
The only game in this series that felt like being a sneaky Assassin for me.
I think that being able to scan enemies like that is just too op
I honestly thought that people who pissed on this game back then are wild. Absolutely one of my faves. Obviously Eve is the better twin for me 😂 she's like invisible Jesus once you get her all maxed out.
I’ve been playing AC Syndicate a lot lately and I’m at 99% completion. After all these years I’ve almost 100% completed the whole game.
Se ve mejor que muchos actuales de ubisoft
I've been replaying Unity on my Series S with no HUD and OH MAN it looks beautiful
I just picked it back up too I agree for sure, if you or anyone else reading this is down to play my gamertag is Ticket2Heavn
I still play this game because it is so beautiful, optimized graphics and everything is just wow. Even tho, imo, this ain't an assassin's creed game, but I am thankful to them because they made this kind of game focused on 18th century. Whenever I wish something close to Peaky blinders, I play this from a time to time. 😂😍🔥
It's way more assassins creed then origins Odyssey and Valhalla pourkour is better traversal is better the animations when climbing and decending is superior the new so called assassins creed games especially Valhalla are not assassins creed atleast origins kinda tried
I’ve put this game on pause so many times… maybe this is my sign to play it again. This looks so good
I enjoyed it very much back in 2015 with GTX 970. Then I played it again back in 2022 woth RTX 3070 at 4K. It was Stunning. I'm amazed to the output though draw distance is bad
this is so satisfying!! Syndicate has the best stealth in the franchise imo
The gameplay was pretty neat and the game was released polished but I think the main reason people didin’t like Syndicate that much is because of the story since they couldn’t use real people as the templars
The underrated Assassin's Creed Syndicate is assassin's creed that best reflects stealth in my opinion, and you really feel like you're playing an Assassin's Creed Game, it's really amazing
Ah yes, a true victorian Assasin with a glowing circle of omnipotence on her waist, and a nano suit that goes invisible
Unity has the better setup for stealth tools imo but Syndicate has some pretty nice map design for mission areas. Just not so much everywhere else.
This was the game that brought me back to Assassins creed Games. It was simple no bullshit all about stealth and great level design to execute it. Acting and animation was just phenomenal, everything was just so perfect, except the combat. When i played this game I had left Origins, Oddessey both midway because I did not find them interesting. But this game encouraged me to Dig more in later AC games and I enjoyed those as well. For some reason AC games now have the worst starting 5 hours.
Replaying this game on PC in 4K 60fps is incredible. Def one of my fav AC games, mostly because I’m from London
very underrated game, probably my favorite after the ezio trilogy and black flag
Wow.....never knew syndicate looked THIS good!
I'm playing this game in 2022 and this is exactly how it feels.
I still play this to this very day , it's the best assassins creed by far in my humble opinion
I love this game, and the train hideout is awesome.
This is still my favorite assassins creed i ever played i just love industrial revolution and victorian age.
I just hope so we will see another assassin set in 19th century, or early 20th century.
It could be manhattan in 1890s or 1900s, but also Chicago but set in 1920s.
Btw it could be interesting assassins creed set in san francisco before and during earthquake in 1906.
Assassins Creed Syndicate needs to be remade and remastered for next gen consoles, it’s an absolute masterpiece.
More like actually fucking work. The ps5 is buggy as hell 😭
Does this game really receive hate? I LOVED IT my first playthrough, underrated
Damn I don’t remember syndicate looking this good
I’m an OG Unity player and lover. 2016, just 2 years after its release- I got it with my PS4. Due to certain circumstances I’ve barely been able to play my PS4 for the past 6 years like a regular human being, so I’ve always had the same games just sit there. Unity was one of them- back in the day I was a Unity God. Restarted 4 times now. But this year I downloaded Syndicate and I enjoy the game. The mechanics are Unity with some parkour taken away but benefited from with the zip line. But I like the change ups and how dark, and gritty, and atmospheric old style London is. I want to like Jacob but he’s just kind of a smug ass a lot of times in his dialogue and demeanor and he’s either racist “Greenie” or being protective of his sister. But I don’t let those feelings not enjoy his gameplay. I like Evie. She’s kind and gentle, but will also kill you in a moments notice. She’s mature and has humility. She’s cute too, but I try to not let myself feel any feelings for her character like that cause I just want to feel like I’m playing the stealthy, deadly, badass Evie Frey with her unique looking black assassins cloth with the red hints. But I have to admit, I definitely do care about the side content more than the story. I also love Jacobs “Outdoorsmen” suit (the one in the promotions for the game) and hood of it; how it makes him look menacing. Cause he’s unhinged. I’ll have to replay all of Unity and Dead Kings again to make modern memories, but Unity to me is that unique assassin blue of Arno’s Initiate Assassin robes. While Syndicate gives me sleek black and red hint vibes. Like the colors in it’s title. I love both games. Going to eventually play all of the AC games.
I've always liked the fight mechanics of this game.
How?! That’s actually the worst part of the game!
@He was #1 because the fighting system wasn't objectively bad. It had an arcade combo style that some people liked and others didn't. But still better than the crap we got in origins and odyssey (where alexios literally kicked enemies across a field like they were hit by superman)
@L T bro the gameplay in origins was miles better than syndicate.. stop it
@Wgnd1 lmao! really NOT
I think that a big reason why Syndicate had such a bad reputation is that 2015 was about the time when the hype for better and better graphics every year came to a stop.
I just finished this game for the first time. It was fantastic. I really enjoyed my time in London.
I’ve always liked Syndicate from day one and it pisses me off a lot that people is missing it now in 2022. When this game came out everyone was disgusted by it and the two year stop that originated assassins creed origins came after the backlash they received after this game. Ubisoft thought we were bored of “real” assassins creed games, and now that they’ve switched it up to listen to us, we’re complaining that we miss the old games. Human beings are always the same 😅
One of my favorite ACs, very underated
