Such a disappointment. How did UbiSoft step back three generations of AC after Origins and Odyssey? Valhalla is glitchy, far from the polish of Odyssey. The graphics are circa 2015. The gameplay mechanics are closer to Origins rather than a sequential enhancement of Odyssey. The dialogue is empty, without the depth found in the previous two installments. The UI looks more like a wireframe used for content development...not something you would ever actually use in the game. This is clearly a game made under duress - i.e. amidst scandal and pandemic - with a hard, before-the-holiday, profit-over-product due date, and with a patchwork team lacking vision and cohesion. If only they had the guts to push the launch date until they had something worth playing, like another well-known developer.
