I loved Origins and Odyssey, but i agree that Valhalla was dull. I blame the setting honestly. Instea dof the beautiful fjords of Norway we got britain. and not the cool era like Syndicate’s Victorian era
Yeah I didn’t finish Valhalla. I really enjoyed Origins and Odyssey, finished them both and almost all the additional stuff (excepting collectathons). But Valhalla felt like such a departure from AC, the combat was clunky, hardly any parkour.
I respect that they tried something very different, but I’m glad I only played it on subscription because it only cost me a months-worth rather than buying a full copy. Hoping the next one can find a way to stay true to what makes AC great, while introducing enough new systems to keep it feeling fresh. A difficult tightrope to balance on, I guess!
Well yeah, people on gaming social media have been trashing Ubisoft games since like Far Cry 4 nearly a decade ago. Something something same game something something radio towers, etc. If reddit’s opinion had been that of the majority of the gaming community, Ubisoft would’ve gone out of business years ago.
Personally, I was buying Ubisoft games up until about a year ago because they were fun, but a string of games with terrible gimmicks (like turning Ghost Recon into a looter shooter and dumbing down character abilities in Watch Dogs in order to supplement a “play as anyone” ability nobody really asked for) along with the continued lack of action regarding the sexual harassment problems has ended that.
Seems like I’m not the only one, considering Ubisoft has been reporting disappointing sales.

Valhalla was also kinda iffy. I think they have their silent fanbase that adores the games and they’re coasting on that.
