Storyline

The Frye twins are approached by Henry Raymond, a penny dreadful writer, as well as his follower, a young Arthur Conan Doyle. They team up to investigate a series of murders across London, visiting crime scenes, gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses and suspects, and ultimately solving the crimes by accusing the true perpetrators.

The twins are eventually summoned to Buckingham Palace by Queen Victoria, in order to solve the murder of one of her guards. It turns out that it is in fact Raymond who has posed as a guard and faked his own death, so he may steal the Queen's Sceptre of the Dove by observing up close the combination to the safe that holds it. He has also left a series of false clues suggesting a bomb threat in the palace in order to cover his escape. However Doyle has already uncovered his plan and set out to stop him, but is held hostage on the palace roof in the process. One of the Fryes manages to distract Raymond while the other sneaks up and kills him, saving Doyle and recovering the Sceptre. In the aftermath, the Fryes encourage Doyle to try his own hand at writing detective fiction.

Honestly, the murder mysteries were the best part and addition to AC: Unity, so naturally they were not included in the Syndicate and only release as a DLC in a very obvious money grabbing dick move. Gameplay wise, solving murders has not been changed much from the way it was back in Unity. I personally like this DLC, but there is just no reason for this to be a DLC rather than a part of the vanilla game. As usual, the original price was overpriced for 2 to 3 hours of gameplay.This is a good DLC, but I cannot fully enjoy it for the reasons stated above. Final Verdict: 63 %

In general, even the plot in the DLC is common, which surprised. For Ubisoft writers, this is amazing. In general, all missions are done at the same level as Unity. But they are again cut out of the game and added to the DLC, and for some reason, they have blessed Xbox users.
