The run-up to Christmas is a busy time for major new releases, with Halo 5: Guardians, Guitar Hero Live, Fallout 4, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Star Wars: Battlefront, and Call of Duty: Black Ops III all out around the same time as Syndicate. That's some significant competition, against which I can't see another Assassin's Creed that plays much the same way as so many installments before it truly shining. A change is as good as a rest, so the proverb goes, and swapping 18th century Paris for 19th century London has resulted in a visual delight. But if those shimmering puddles are turning stagnant just a few hours into proceedings, it'll vindicate my feeling that this series should have taken a sabbatical.Assassin's Creed Syndicate is released for PS4 and Xbox One on October 23, with a PC version also planned for an autumn release.
