+ Many critics haven't actually purchased or played the games.
+ The series' flaws are not unique to Assassin's Creed.
+ Ubisoft's development pace is unfairly scrutinized compared to other studios (e.g., Rockstar).
* The author briefly praises Syndicate, calling it an improved, polished version of Unity, with a richer, more diverse open world (Victorian-era London).
