Someone calls this game series a pipeline. Someone simply treats it negatively or neutrally, indifferently, noting that this game series has become boring even after the second part. Someone, on the contrary, loves it and looks forward to each new part. Of course, not everything is so unambiguous and black and white, but you can distribute the attitude to the series about the Assassins and their creed like this. And now we will tell you about the new part, which is called Assassin’s Creed Syndicate. As you know, almost every new game about assassins tells about a new character, and almost certainly a new nationality. This cannot but rejoice, because it is interesting to explore the new setting and dive into other events of the story. This time we are in London, in its most famous Victorian era. And our main character is an assassin named Jacob Fry and his twin Evie. So, what can the new part offer us with its new assassins, who are undoubtedly as charismatic and colorful as all the other protagonists of the series (and not only the protagonists).

And the world in this part of the game is really big – it is larger than all the others in the series. Do you feel the open spaces? In addition, players have access to many side quests that reveal the setting more than the plot itself, but they are necessary for a complete picture (although no one forces them to go through – you just get a better idea of ​​the world you find yourself in, about its life and life ).
