Overall Review:
Absolute masterpiece, I believe Assassin's Creed should've always been open world RPG and this game was right step from Ubisoft.

Story:
Main storyline is simple yet interesting.

Side quests:
Side quests are not boring or too repetitive.

Characters:
Characters are well designed with unique personalities.

Targets:
Interesting villains with different backstories and goals.

Side Activities:
Adds up to immersion instead of being tedious like in older games.

Visuals:
Visual side of the game is beautiful, I never liked desert but in this game it looks good.

Bugs:
In 70+ hours of gameplay I experienced max 1-2 bugs and nothing game breaking, it was mostly not moving after interacting with something or someone.

Combat:
Assassin's Creed has never had better combat system than this.

Stealth:
Once you gear up with decent weapons you'll be able to clean huge forts at night pretty easily if you like stealthy approach.

Gear:
Unique weapons really lets you choose how to fight different enemies.

Overall Review:
I'd give this game 3 from 10, just like most of AC games, this is "poorly crafted great idea".

Story:
Story is very dry, rushed and not engaging. I mean I like that you don't have to be newbie assassin just like most of AC games, but this really felt like downgrade after Unity. Unity did it pretty well, you're newbie but it doesn't take forever like AC 3 to become assassin, in Syndicate you're just an assassin and that's it, no backstory other than the fact that your dad was an assassin.

Missions:
Very boring, I literally tried my best to run through game as fast as possible, nothing innovative or cool about missions.

Side missions:
Boring as ♥♥♥♥ just like main storyline, gang missions were very repetitive, felt like I was playing merged version of Assassin's Creed and Mafia 3 (which sucked), I didn't even bother to do side missions.

Combat:
Just press buttons, there's no beauty to it, it's just button mashing and over brutalizing enemies, nothing cool or innovative.

Stealth:
I'd say that this game had really god stealth system and didn't force me into pointless fights, throwing knives are fun.

Freerun:
Instead of fixing freerun issues they just added grappling hook which is fun but completely removes point of freerun.

Characters:
I really liked both Jacob & Evie, however Jacob's dressing style is trash. Side charcters weren't even close to interesting, main villain is just some bad guy with no backstory or vision.

Bugs:
Game is filled with bugs, nothing game breaking but seeing some random carriage flying out of nowhere is stupid, there was mission where you have to follow carriage, that carriage just killed one of the gang members, driver simply stopped and started checking area over and over again which led me to reloading last checkpoint.

Overall Review:
7 out of 10 for this, I liked how they experimented with open world mechanics, kept story interesting and also made cool side characters.

Story:
Story is well written with twists and interesting targets with some backstory instead of just some random "bad guys" like in Syndicate. I also like how they went on "dark path", which made game way better, happy endings suck in general, especially in a game like this.

Missions:
Main missions were really good, it wasn't repetitive and it included actually interesting cutscenes.

Side missions:
Side missiong were kind of boring but also didn't really bore me, I mean I wasn't losing my ♥♥♥♥ by doing side quests but I wasn't really trying to run through missions ASAP.

Combat:
Combat is kind of good but at the same time kind of bad, the bad thing how easily killable you are from ranged attacks in the early game, we loved AC combat where you do flashy counter attacks but it was better than previous combat system where you just chain counter attacks.

Stealth:
Stealth was okay in this game, it needs grinding to be actually "stealthy" with armor, otherwise you're kind of forced to fight enemies.

Freerun:
Terrible, there were cases where I wondered if they really cared about freerun in this game, I mean I simply hated climbing because there was no logic in there. In some cases you can climb in certain situation, but in other case Arno will just freeze and look up, like buddy, you did this ♥♥♥♥ 15 seconds ago and now you can't climb?

Characters:
I really liked characters, everyone seems to have a "personality", Arno is mischievous, Elise is little bit annoying but at the same time understanding, other characters were also interesting.

Bugs:
Probably some minor bugs, don't really remember anything game breaking.
