Why did they think this would be a good idea? Oh yeah because a couple of PC players whinged about run and walk speed. It’s easer on the thumb since they made the ill-conceived decision to toggle 元 to run in a game that is well over 100 hours long. I honestly can’t tell if I’m running or jogging half the time so I just spend most of the time jogging. (There’s actually a world event where Eivor answers riddles for the prospect of cake so I’m not even sure I’m exaggerating). In trying to fix the light-as-a-feather feeling that has plagued the series since Unity they have gone totally overboard and made a character that eats far too many cakes. My god, what have they done to the movement? It’s the worst in the series. That means the moment to moment gameplay alternates on a dime between fun and frustrating making it hard to discern whether I like it or not. It has so many problems both big and small that anything that’s good about it is almost instantly offset by the bad. I know this world pretty much inside out now so believe me when I tell you this is one of the worst Assassin’s Creed games ever made. I have yet to complete the story but I have explored the map like crazy and cleared most of it. Last time I looked I was at power level 317.

The minority were vocal and the majority were too silent in their praise and the result is Valhalla – a game that almost feels like it was made exclusively to apologise for a game that was widely successful and undoubtedly caused the massive increase in sales at launch. Some of it was valid, a lot of it was just petty and should have been ignored. Riddle me this: How does a company who has worked on a franchise for 12 years manage to wreck all of the core mechanics in the latest instalment? By taking too much to heart what a small minority of fans who have no idea how to make a video game says.įor about 2 years we had the “purists” complaining about Odyssey.
