I've gone on an AC bender. I played Odyssey for the first time last year and got obsessed as its another historical era I just love. I tried Valhalla, and maybe its because it was so realistic to the UK, I hated it! Just miserable and brown! AC for me has to have a good setting and a great lead.
I loved AC1 despite the average reviews. Exploring Jerusalem was amazing back thenLoved Ezio's era, god that was a great time. Tuned out for AC3, loved AC Black Flag. Hated everything after. Even Origins, although I've gone back to it and enjoying it much more as I try and fill the Odyssey gap. I want to see the pyramids in their prime, and it's nowhere near as bad as I remember. I'm enjoying it.
But I do miss OG Assassins Creed. I loved the setting, and this one is clearly pushing that button. So for those of you that have played it, given the above, do you think I'd like it?

I'll report it when I've played and that would be Christmas time.
Seems a good place to ask, all the Ass Creed games are on sale on Steam so I was tempted to pick some up. Question, is Syndicate worth playing or is it better to go straight into Origin’s and play them from their after the revamp?

4 and Syndicate are the only AC games I care about. FWIW I thought Syndicate was excellent, had loads of fun with it

I liked Syndicate, but I loved Origins.
It's probably better to start on Origins and see from there? Play Syndicate in other times?

Syndicate was worth the price of entry to run round a realised London during the industrial revolution listening to NPCs getting to interact with historical figures etc. I enjoyed this London more than the Watchdog one.
It really was a lot of fun. Found later AC games to be 'a bit much'.
Yeah, one of the very few games I played the DLC, though tiny complaint a figure like Jack the Ripper should really have been part of the main [non-DLC] game really, but yeah DLC and main were very good.
