I finally reached where I was at AC Valhalla before I deleted my save and now achievements are unlocking as they should. Took me 6 hours – around five hours less than before, since I knew where everything was and skipped all the dialogue. Completed everything from the first region and moved on to the second one.
Edit: I’m currently 510/1000g on Planet Coaster with 12 achievements left. I might try to get its completion, a medal at a time.
30 hrs in and not even touched quarter of the map. Absolutely loving every aspect of this game. Oh and someone was moaning about the settlement being small in another thread - trust me, this changes A LOT.
Early game is in my top 3 of all AC games. Let’s just see what the mid and end are like.
I actually like it a lot too, the additions like wagons and the zip-hook-thing makes travelling so much nicer both over distance and up/down. Makes the traversal much better and not something you get annoyed at when your many hours in like in most previous titles.
The main characters are good, complement each other nicely. I prefer the stealth gameplay so Evie has an edge, and I use her whenever I can. Even though combat is improved and I like it, a bit too easy perhaps.
The setting is great! London feels good, and all the interesting historical characters you meet are a treat. Side content is actually pretty good.
I only have one sequence left, and the usual mop-up of collectibles then it’s off to the Jack the Ripper DLC. Hope that’s good too.
Jack the ripper DLC… wow. How did I forget about that? My wife isnt a gamer any more unless it’s Nintendo, but that DLC… she loved watching me play that. Was a while ago though, so my memory fades on it sadly.
Syndicate is one of my favorite games from the old-school Assassin’s Creeds! II, Black Flag and Syndicate were probably the ones I had the most fun in.
While Origins and Odyssey are great games, they are so big and overwhelming that I didn’t manage to finish the story. I hope I can finally finish one of those RPG ACs with Valhalla, though.
I agree, I really like Assassin’s Creed Syndicate. I personally think it’s an underrated title in the series. The setting is definitely my favorite in the whole series, and the assassination missions were my favorite part. Combat was kinda easy after getting used to it, but I still somewhat liked it, and the stealth was pretty good and fun I’d say.
All this Assassin’s Creed talk Maybe I should go back and finish Odyssey, Syndicate and Assassin’s Creed 3 remaster. I started and tried Fade to Silence and that is going into the no play pile, too janky and not interesting. Going to try Generation Zero next.
I’m thinking about next month’s featured game options. So far we only have two confirmed Smart Delivery games coming to Game Pass on day one: Haven and Morkredd.
Do you think the current rules are too strict? Should we extend the options to major games being released on December?
I rarely buy new games anymore, with the huge backlog and Game Pass. Mostly pick up stuff patched, complete and on sale nowadays hehe. With a few big releases from 3rd party being exceptions.

Plus, I earned enough Gamerscore this week to take @TheSego’s place and to leave @Mort a bit behind. You were so close to reaching me, man. I’m glad you started Syndicate
