The console editions of "Syndicate" garnered generally positive reviews, including and 8.2/10 from IGN.

"Assassin's Creed Syndicate is the most fun I've had with an Assassin's game since Black Flag. In fact, I liked it more. Apart from its ill-fitting conclusion, it never takes itself too seriously and delights in the rich possibilities of its Victorian setting and great new grapple gun," said game reviewer Daniel Krupa. "Best of all, Syndicate asks you to take London back in a way puts the last few games to shame."

Ubisoft Financial Director Alain Martinez said gameplay issues in last year's "Assassin's Creed Unity" clearly had a negative impact on the first-week sales of "Syndicate." However, performance in the second week rebounded greatly, GameSpot reported.
