Peaky Blinders But With Eagle Vision—sorry, 'Assassin's Creed Syndicate'—uses Unity's famously face-phobic game engine to tell a story of warring top hats in Victorian London. It embellishes AC's traversal with horse-drawn carriages, trains and a grappling hook, and it adds a playable female character for the first time in a main Assassin's Creed game. A new bit of footage was unveiled at E3 this week, and to go along with it, here's a bunch of new screenshots showing Jacob Frye murdering people for having the temerity to wear red.

Tom loves exploring in games, whether it’s going the wrong way in a platformer or burgling an apartment in Deus Ex. His favourite game worlds—Stalker, Dark Souls, Thief—have an atmosphere you could wallop with a blackjack. He enjoys horror, adventure, puzzle games and RPGs, and played the Japanese version of Final Fantasy VIII with a translated script he printed off from the internet. Tom has been writing about free games for PC Gamer since 2012. If he were packing for a desert island, he’d take his giant Columbo boxset and a laptop stuffed with PuzzleScript games.
