This is a solid game if you want a new experience (ie you haven't played an Assassin's Creed game before) but if you have played previous iterations… perhaps give it a miss. I was super excited at E3 when they showed knuckledusters and throwing knives and a grapple hook and the wicked khukri, but it really doesn't justify a whole new game. Carriages are a laugh for about 5 minutes before you want to find another train. I give it 4 stars because, objectively, it is a solid game (campaign didn't pull me in though), 99% bug free, cool combat, good stealth and fun parkour that has partially been made irrelevant by the grapple, but still works. So if you have played 2 or more of the other's in the series (Unity not counted) I wouldn't bother. It sits on my shelf doing a whole lot of nothing. If you haven't played an AC game or haven't played for 3+ years – go for it. You'll have a blast.

Never have I felt such a compelling attachment to the main characters of this game. The actions of this game are amazing, the parkour is so much fun. I don't care about future AC games I just want Ubisoft to make more DLCs for this one.
Best game in the series
Game is awesome feels just like the old assassin's creed games but with updated tools and mechanics love it
What a great game. No bugs at all and runs very smoothly. The setting is really awesome and is full of all sorts of missions. Would definitely recommend picking this up!
This is my favourite Assassins Creed game so far. The setting is great, the grapple hook is very convenient, the dynamic between the twins is very enjoyable. Highly recommend!
5 stars
Fun and interesting, the grapple is a nice change from climbing everything and good fighting
Assassin's Creed Syndicate is a step up for the franchise. If you have enjoyed any of the previous titles, you are guaranteed to like this game.
