Honestly though, if your child has watched any of the Marvel films they've seen violence like it is in this game. The blood is cartoony looking and can be switched off in settings. As someone who's lived in London since the 70s i have to say it shows a very realistic portrayal of the city ( i obviously wasn't alive in the Industrial Period) it's visually stunning,the detail from the market stalls to the guards clothes, magical. I've been watching my kids play this for a couple of weeks, ( I even had a go myself!) and i have to say, it's a really fun game! I'm not normally one for videogames but even i enjoyed this one.

Note, too, that players are encouraged to make in-game purchases to enhance their experience, and this is the latest game in a long-running franchise that could get gamers interested in those titles and related merchandise. The narrative also includes mature content including strong language, drug reference, and alcohol and tobacco consumption. Players will see arms and legs broken, characters stabbed in the chest and face, and civilians tortured at the hands of sadistic doctors. But though the two primary playable characters, male and female twins, fight for ideals such as freedom from oppression, the end of government corruption, and elimination of child labor, much of the action is centered on violence involving brutal and bloody melee combat.

It could inspire some players to take an active interest in Victorian-era-related historical characters, from Charles Dickens to Karl Marx. Parents need to know that Assassin's Creed Syndicate is a historical action-adventure game that strives for authenticity in its Victorian London setting and historical characters.
