I am so loving happy with how good the game is.
I've done my best to avoid a lot of the hype, trailers, let's plays etc., and forget me is the game good. It runs perfectly on my GTX 980 (long loading times likely caused by simulataneous preloading of Assassin's Creed Syndicate in the background, only one minor freeze) and the game is loving gorgeous.
Probably gonna stick to just story missions for a while and explore some of the other content later on. It's getting gripping.
