Assassin's Creed: Syndicate Reviews - 12 Shocking Critical Reactions You Need To See

After a whole year of almost zero PR on behalf of Ubisoft, Assassin's Creed: Syndicate has landed with quite the bang - the ripples from its fairly positive critical reception being genuinely shocking to both fans and detractors of the series. There's still definitely a lot of work that needs doing before the series could be regarded as being back on form, but until then, Syndicate's existence as another Black Flag-like "Oh... it's actually good?" is most likely going to be one of this year's biggest talking points. A quick scour across the various comment threads on all the reviews online point to the fact that even with guys like Gamespot giving it nine of ten, people would rather accuse the reviewer of being paid off than believe such a thing as a decent Assassin's Creed existing in 2015. Here I'm going to compile all the best quotes from all the major critics across the web. There's definitely plenty to talk about ahead of the game's release on October 23rd, and being the series was once so incredible it's always going to attract a certain amount of curiosity to check out the latest instalment, meaning you really should know what you're buying into before dropping 60 notes on it.
