Ubisoft showed a very pretty-looking trailer for Assassin’s Creed Syndicate yesterday at its E3 presentation, which is all well and good. But what about the actual gameplay? That looks nice, too!

I’m gonna be totally honest. I am not an Assassin’s Creed fanboy. I’ve often found myself wishing over the past few years that Ubisoft would either retire the franchise, or do like Rockstar and actually take it’s time between pumping out massive open-world games to make them actually feel unique, fresh, and fun every time. That’s in opposition to…whatever you’d call a game like last year’s unfortunate Assassin’s Creed Unity.

There are also epic-looking fights on top of trains:
…beautiful scenery:

I might just have to take a leap of faith and give this series another shot.
