Our final verdict on Assassin's Creed: Syndicate will come tonight during our dedicated livestream, but until then we have some high quality gameplay footage of the PS4 version of the game to share with you. Because we didn't want to spoil anything from the main plot, the content of the videos mainly focuses on secondary missions. To find out what we think about the game and ask us all the questions you have on your mind, please join us tonight at 10:00 GMT+2 for a new GSY Live Review.

These games are just wells of architectural reference to me now. I'll watch a walkthrough on Youtube and then probably get it when it's the price of a buy one get one free large pizza or something.
I had hoped that Evie was more than just an alternative skin to Jacob, but from the different impressions and playthroughs it looks as if that is not the case.
Shame really.

Watched Evie In The City after and it confirmed it. Same old, run from dot to dot and no thought when it comes to pulling off the missions. Just go to markers, use your supernatural powers to eliminate any challenge and boom, next mission or collectible which is again just chasing dots on a minimap.
It's nice brainless fun but not something I'd pay premium price for and always feels like a huge wasted potential.

Also, look! A female character! Now the feminists can shut the hell up.
Series is a complete joke since AC3 (Revelations was meh), Black Flag had nothing to do with being an assassin and was a success (those who played) and a fluke just because of a ship that, again...had nothing to do with being an assassin.
AC1 still holds the best vibe of a cold, bleek and dark mystery of the assassins.
I played through Assassin's Creed 1, 2, Brotherhood, Revelations, and 3 with all their story DLCs and completed them 100% (with the exception of AC 1) in approximately 2 months. It was 5 games and from the middle of July 2013 till September 2013 - when Grand Theft Auto 5 came out.
With the exception of 1 (which took a few days) and 3 (which took 2 weeks with all DLCs), I remember that each game took about 1 week to complete. If you ignore all the collectibles, you can most likely finish each game in 2-3 days - so 5 games in 10-15 days.
Since then Ubisoft has released Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag, Liberation HD, Rogue, Unity, and recently Syndicate - 5 games as well. Admittedly, the recent AC games are longer, so let's say it takes 4-5 days to finish each while ignoring collectibles, you can finish these in 20-25 days.
Now just add the oldest 5 AC games' 10-15 days with the 5 recent ones' 20-25 days and you can most likely finish all main Assassin's Creed games in about 30-40 days. If you spend about 4 hours a day, that's around 120-160 hours for 10 games - In comparison, Fallout 4 will have 400+ hours of content for example, and that's just 1 game.
There's an important note though, after Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag - some would say after AC3 - there's basically no important story connection between the games, so there's no real need to play through all AC games because of story. Still, if you want to know everything, you can read a summary or watch a summary video on Youtube that explains everything in minutes or hours.
One of the best parts about Assassin's Creed 1 till 4: Black Flag was the modern time story and how what you did in the past (inside the animus) affected the future. But since recent games don't do much in that regard, you can play Syndicate or Unity without having played any other AC game before and still enjoy it as much as anyone who played through them all.

It's a bit like being faced with a 15 season TV show. Theres just too much there. I wouldnt even bother starting.
