Pros:
✔Unique art style of the game
✔Solid stealth gameplay
✔Three rewarding ways to complete every sequence - Brawler, Assassin and Shadow

Cons:
✘There is no plot. Just some cool story about mysterious magic box

Summary:
Decent 2.5D stealth game based on Asassin's Creed universe. However writers could put more effort into the story

1 UPDATE PER YEAR.DO NOT BUY UNTIL VERSION 1.0.

PROS:
✔Syndicate has no perfomance issues and contains no gamebreaking bugs. A big step forward after disaster of 2014 called Assassin's Creed Unity
✔Designers did their best in recreating London of Victorian Era. City is looking quite alive and historically accurate. And this magnificent views from sync points
✔Concept of two characters is a fresh idea for the franchise. Moreover Evie and Jacob are one of the most interesting characters in the series since Ezio and Haytham. Now take a look at the dull and cliched character of Arno
✔New fight mechanic removes big swords and axes and adding a fast and light weaponry. Combat itself is looking more impressive and playing much faster now
✔Comfortable shooting mechanic. In Unity I can barely hit someting with pistols with such clunky controls. And here shooting mechanics is nice and easy
✔Grapling hook is a blast! Since the buildings are much bigger now, devs added a mean to reach the top of it much faster
✔Assassinate missions are designed in Hitman style. You need to plan your assassination and there are multiple ways to complete your task. I am so glad devs actually returning to the concept of the AC1
✔A lot of working RPG elements. Syndicate has working and balanced levelling system. Compare it to the grind disaster in Unity
✔Music. Austin Wintory did a great job on Syndicate soundtrack. It fits the game perfectly

CONS:
✘Plot is WEAK. Yes, there is a lot of well-written characters here. Look at Frye twins for example. But the story itself feels dull and stupid. Character motivations is unclear and there are a lot of weak spots in this plot. And modern storyline is pathetic
✘Missions are WEAK. Dont get me wrong. They are well done in design terms. But they so dull and unrealistic. Sometimes they just break the whole immersion in the game world
✘Graphics looks downgraded after Unity. But I guess this is a part of optimization

Summary:
If you still feel dissapointed in Assassin's Creed franchise after Unity release, try Syndicate. Of course it is still a pretty standart AC game, nothing unusual. But it is pretty solid though.

Pros:
✔Outstanding graphics. One of the games that at least looks like next-gen game
✔Overhauled animations and parkour
✔Big and beautifully designed Paris of XVIII century
✔New combat system,that makes the game a bit more challenging in a good way
✔AI is a bit smarter now, comparing to ACIV and Rogue
✔Interesting investigation missions
✔A lot of customization features. You can create your own unique assassin
✔Coop mode

Cons:
✘Story is dull. Dont get me wrong. Cutscenes are well directed. Voice acting is good. But Arno's story is kinda boring. Arno himself is not so interesting as protagonist. And Ubisoft failed to use all potential of Revolutionary France setting
✘XP system is useless
✘Creed points actually has no point. Devs rewarding players more for kills, not for stealth. They just force you to go loud
✘New stealth system is good but Ubisoft not even tried to make missions fit this new stealth system. There are just room full of guards and you cant do anything in a stealth way
✘Controls are not comfortable. Arno is not responding to my commands correctly. He sticks to the walls not climbing into windows etc
✘Skills system is so bad. You need to unlock skills just to throw money on the ground or sit on the bench. Really?
✘Economy system just forcing you to use microtransactions. In the 60$ game
✘Language restrictions in CIS version. Just forced to play in russian. Good thing there is still french voice over

Despite all cons of this game I recommend it for all fans of the series. Of course this game has some controversial changes. But this can be your only opportunity to visit revolutionary France in all of its beauty and horror.

Pros:
✔Campaign is awesome. It is dark, atmospheric and keeping you interested the whole time
✔Visuals are good. Well, engine is old, but the game is still looking ok
✔Customization everywhere. From multiplayer to even single player
✔Large and non-linear SP levels
✔Shadows of Evil and Giant maps are looking and playing great
✔Multiplayer is good. It's same but this is what makes it good

Cons:
✘Only 1 zombie map without Deluxe Edition
✘Campaign is not built for coop mode
✘Optimization was very poor. Seems fixed for me now, but still it is a shame what after 3 years 3arc cant simply optimize the game on this old engine
✘Some balance problems in MP

Since I am a COD fanboy this game worth 60$ for me. But I feel kinda dissapointed. I thought what after 3 years of development 3arc will made a game that would be a worthy succesor of Black Ops 2. But actually this is a step backwards after 3arc previous game. But still it is a lot fun. I recommend it.

Pros:
✔Great sandbox survival gameplay. It is not just another survival game, its unique and very hardcore experience
✔Despite being isometric. this game have some unique style
✔Craft system is comfortable enough
✔Character creation system. You can even choose passive skills
✔You can build your own fort with garden, generators, traps and etc.
✔Sound design of the game. It creating depressing and sometimes horror mood. Perfectly fits the game
✔Regular updates

Cons:
✘Lack of NPCs and venicles (you can hardly call it cons,cause they definitely gonna be in full version).

So far i cant find any serious issues in this game. One of the best Early Access games. This game is must have for any horror-survival fan.

Pros:
✔Classic Civilization experience
✔Sound design. Sounds is great, music is even better. Baba Yetu for example
✔Visual design. This is the best mix of realistic and cartoonish style
✔Gamespy is finally gone. You can play with steamworks now
✔Large mod community,that is still alive

Cons:
✘Units can stack. This is the weak spot of Civ IV. You can stack like thousands of units in one tile. War becomes pure madness
✘Sometimes AI is too stupid. Building forts on oil. Yeah right, this is gonna work. What?Fish for uran?Sure!

Well, the age of this game has passed. Civ V now taking its place. But still, if you fan of Civ series, you should definitely check this out.

Pros:
✔Gameplay itself. It is an interesting mix of ArmA and Counter-Strike
✔Variety of gamemodes. Classic gamemodes(like tdm)+bunch of tactical gamemodes
✔Tactical and challenging coop
✔Source Engine provides nice visuals
✔Free mods at Steam Workshop

Cons:
✘This game requires teamplay. You can hardly find it on public servers.

Definitely recommended. But if you dont wanna your game experience ruined by some randoms, find some friends to play with.

Pros:
✔Gameplay itself. It is a unique medieval RPG with stategical elements
✔World map,that represents sandbox gameplay. Do whatever you want
✔Combat system is simple but hard to master
✔AI is smart on high difficulty levels
✔Multiplayer is fun
✔A lot of good mods

Cons:
✖Lack of unique and interesting quests. Quests are all the same
✖Visuals are outdated. Mods can help
✖Sometimes world of the game feels too empty. You just cant believe in this wooden npcs
✖Gameplay can become very repetitive

I recommend this game. Of course there are a lot of issues, but there is a great mod community. Most of the mods will change your game experience in a good way.

Pros:
✔Concept of the game

Cons:
✘Bugs. Everywhere. They will ruin your game experience
✘There is no any optimization at all.10-20 FPS in any of big cities (Fixed in 0.60)
✘Graphics is clearly outdated
✘There is not much to do in the game. You can only kill other people and thats all. Farming and other stuff is not working as it should be. Persistence system is not working as well
✘Loot system is not working (Partially fixed)
✘Zombies are harmless. So if there is no threat from zombies,you can hardly persuade someone to cooperate with you
✘Netcode is a joke

So far DayZ is totally (partially in 0.60) unplayable. There are bugs,lack of optimization and etc. But developers are working too slow,and in my opinion they working in the wrong direction. Instead of adding more content they should pay attention to techical issues. Stay away from this game at least until BETA.
