Assassin's Creed Syndicate came out yesterday and...I just can't. I'm just preemptively bored by Assassin's Creed at this point. I've climbed too many towers, dove into too many hay piles, and felled too many enemies with silent blades.
It's not a bad series. Syndicate, in particular, seems to be getting pretty good reviews. Still, I think I'm not suited to playing annual sequels. I just don't miss any series enough to get excited for a new game every fall. There are too many other options out there. Why pick a sequel that's 90% of what you expect when you can try something completely new?
