After last year's disappointment, Assassin's Creed Syndicate simply had to deliver the best possible experience. But did Ubisoft deliver?

Last year, I felt like a Nostradumbass, trying to divine the location of dozens of puzzles in Assassin’s Creed Unity that were linked to the infamous fraud.

Namely, a chance to dress Evie (The best part of Syndicate) up in some swanky new threads, the Aegis armour.

This year, the Assassin;s Creed franchise swings back into action with a Cockney flavour set in the heart of England’s Industrial Age, as players tackle a story starring the Frye siblings. So, is it any good then guv’nah?
