15 Best Hidden Gem Video Games Of The Decade
10. Assassin's Creed: Syndicate
No matter what Ubisoft had up their sleeve to follow the utter embarrassment that was Assassin's Creed: Unity, it was always going to disappoint. After years of growing discontentment, Unity broke the AC series in half, with its bevy of glitches and launch problems making for a limp jump to the next generation.
That shadow extended to the next game, the Victorian London-set Syndicate, and made for one of the lowest selling instalments in the franchise's history. That was a travesty though, because the follow up was better in every single way.
Of course, it was the setting that was the real winner. Walking these streets and zip-lining to the top of iconic London buildings never gets old, and it was complimented by a story stacked with great characters and period-specific cameos.
It's a shame the location was a one-and-done affair, because it deserved way more time to shine.
