I've played for a couple of hours now and what a *beep* mess. Pretty graphics do not make up for a *beep* bug-infested game. I'm glad I got this garbage for free, otherwise I would've been livid.
Working in the movie business since -92
Combat is terrible, controls are unresponsive, the storyline is bland and uninteresting, and they got rid of the last words sequences after you assassinate a target (really dampened my experience of the game).
Unity very nearly killed my interest in the series, but after playing Syndicate, it filled me with hope. Its so much more rewarding than Unity.
