50% off. Downloaded it last night, have been playing it since. First reaction: not as good as Black Flag, but I knew that going in. For what it is it’s pretty good; I’m having a fun time. It helps a lot that, so far, this is in no way a darkly serious game. In fact, Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate is danged absurd at times – and it knows it, but it simply does not care. I’m fine with this, actually. I just want to be a Victorian Batman/Batgirl who kills bad guys.
As I noted: super-sale, so check it out.
I don’t know which did more to ruin the Assassin’s Creed for me.
One of the sequels that has me playing minigames for two hours (including tower defense!) before actually letting me play the fricking game.
Or Dishonored, for imposing moral value on wantonly slaughtering nameless guards.
