(Photo : Nielson Barnard) Assassin's Creed Syndicate is generally enjoyable although some gamers are bothered the lack of intelligent response from the crowd or bystanders in the game even as the player’s character creates mayhem on the streets.
The PC version of Assassin's Creed Syndicate has been released and critics are pointing out the positive and not so positive aspects of the game. The graphics of the game generally runs smoothly but some reviewers complained on lack of realism in the game.
PC World reported that there are some parts in the game that seem to slow down momentarily or unexplainably switch to low resolution mode.

Some critics are thankful that the game's storyline is better than the Assassin's Creed Unity which was released in 2014. The game's visuals, however, were less impressive than the previous installment of AC.
The protagonists in Syndicate are the twin assassins Jacob and Elvie who ply their trade in the City of London.
Those who played AC Unity will be surprised to see that the London crowd in Syndicate are far fewer than those in Paris. AIso behaviors of the Parisians are more realistic than those of their London counterpart. The graphic details on the assassin's clothing seem awkward looking and seem out of place.
There has been some complaints with regards to the hardware performance of the game such as the slow frame rate or some errors in the graphic texture. Graphic card maker Nvidia has posted on its online site some software drivers that could improve the gameplay of Syndicate.
The London presented in Syndicate is not a historically accurate one. One game critic described the city as some kind of place pretending to be London set in the Victorian age.
The game is generally enjoyable although some gamers are bothered about the lack of intelligent response from the crowd or bystanders in the game - even as the player's character creates mayhem on the streets.
The game's combat system has a lot more in common with the Batman Arkham games by Rocksteady. The designers really made Elvie appear realistically as an accomplished assassin.
Stealth is one of the talents that an assassin must have. However, in Syndicate the two assassins don't seem to possess this talent. They are more successful in confronting the enemy head on rather than hiding away, which seems fine to a number of players.
