Assassin's Creed Syndicate has one of the best settings in the entire AC series. That murky, rainy, Industrial Revolution London forms the perfect backdrop for the ongoing battle between the Order and the Templars - a grimy, smoke-and-soot-filled metropolis where something sinister lurks down every alley. Assassin's Creed Mirage takes AC back to its more stealth-driven roots, with Infinity, Assassin's Creed Red, and the still-enigmatic Hexe also booked to push the series in various new directions. Syndicate, meanwhile, remains the closest AC has come to the modern world. One of the real curios of the series, Assassin's Creed Syndicate is now free via Ubisoft Connect, to keep forever. But you need to get it quick.
