Assassin's Creed has got to be the only game in existence whose movement becomes less interesting after implementing a grappling hook. How is that even possible? Syndicate is such a dull and monotonous slog, I can't help but think that this is the exact experience that comes to mind for people who aren't that familiar with this series and just assume all the games suck. Do not play this. If you want to give Assassin's Creed an honest chance, play the Ezio trilogy instead. They aren't representative of what AC has become but those games are everything Syndicate wishes it could be.

this game is... meh.
i found it extremely enjoyable just exploring the city, but the main quests are... boring to say the least.
it feels like Ubisoft was too scared to have a female protagonist so they made Jacob. he is such a bore to watch and play as.
i enjoyed the side quests a lot more.
customization is fun as always
