This train will be our base of operations.
The main characters of the game perfectly recreated both in form and background, with a working class living in a kind of legalized slavery, something that we can relate that things have not changed much since then … In the city of London at this historical period there were very interesting personalities, whom starring in their own series of side missions.

How about the gameplay
As usual in each franchise we are facing couple updates and additions , there a refew noticable changes , and affects important elements such as the movement and combat. The most important new element is playable string tip , a hook, like Batman’s , with which we can get hooked to the top of the buildings and climb rapidly.
This tool solves some of the problems of parkour and navigation scenarios, and gives great agility to the gameplay, very dynamically , without having the feeling of breaking game. A concession to the fun that has been embedded well within the game. As much sense the driving horse-drawn carriages , which are handled like a normal car, very simple, and that come in handy to go through the streets of London, since we are facing the most extensive map in whole franchise . They also allow some pretty cool action, as the climb to the roof and jump to another car, or shoot while driving.
Zip lines very helpful to go long in distances in a short time as the map is huge.
The combat delivery has a lot of changes, since the very first game franchise never come up with a good combat system . and they haven’t found the final solution this time either, but at least it works. A button to attack, another to counter another to break the defense and stun, and finally the possibility of a quick shot, either the gun or knife. Without providing a great combat system it works well, and comes to provide very colorful moment, thanks to animations on executions, sometimes quite violent.
