London, 1868. The Industrial Revolution unleashes an incredible age of invention, transforming the lives of millions with technologies once thought impossible. Opportunities created during this period have people rushing to London to engage in this new world, a world no longer controlled by kings, emperors, politicians, or religion, but by a new common denominator: money. Not everyone is able to enjoy the benefits of this boom, however. Despite fueling the engine of the British Empire, workers’ lives are little more than legalized slavery while the top few percent profit from their labor. Living poor and dying young, the lower class unite in protest as a new kind of family, gangs, who turn to a life in the underworld in their struggle to survive. A struggle, until watchful Assassins come to their side and re-ignite an age-old conflict involving London’s leaders that will echo throughout modern history, from the underground up. Introducing Jacob Frye, who with the help of his twin sister Evie, will change the fate of millions in Assassin’s Creed Syndicate. Rise to rally and lead the underworld to break the corrupt stranglehold on London in a visceral adventure filled with action, intrigue, and brutal combat.

It doesn't offer many surprises, but Syndicate represents a return to form for Assassin's Creed.

Perched atop some large edifice in Assassin’s Creed Syndicate‘s London, I hesitated. Many slickly-presented columns of light reached toward the sky in all directions — each one indicating yet another thing to do in an effort to satisfy the game’s calling for you to do everything. I was frozen less from indecision and more from just simply being overwhelmed. There’s so much to do. So much.

The latest iteration in the series, Assassin's Creed Syndicate delivers a satisfying story while sticking firmly to it's classic but flawed gameplay roots.

London makes for the most fun and focussed Assassin's experience in quite some time.

A few questions hang over Assassin's Creed after Unity's somewhat troubled launch, but Syndicate rights many of its wrongs. Louise Blain acts as your stabby guide to Victorian London.
