I’ve been playing Assassins Creed Valhalla lately just to chill and watch that map fill out. I also ate out at Olive Garden with my mom and brother a couple days ago.
Both being fresh in my mind, I feel confident that they are the same within their respective mediums. Just a whole bunch of top-of-their-tier 6/10 content, and quite a bit of it. At base price they’re both kind of a rip off (everything at Olive Garden is over $20 bucks now, what they hey?)but if you get an AC game for $20 or visit the OG restaurant during their endless entree thing there’s kind of enough value there to be worth it every now and then.
Sometimes you want a game that makes you think and makes you feel things, sometimes you are too tired and just want to consume some slop. I totally get it. I couldn’t play something like AC all the time but I do occasionally get a craving for some open world slop.

1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy “anti-woke” energy, you probably shouldn’t be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
