It is awesome and they should have made more.

I’ve played every Assassins Creed since the first (excluding mobile). This game is alright, but not great. The combat is clunky compared to others in the series, I know it’s Vikings, but it’s just not smooth combat and the stealth is a joke to this same point. It is a vast and empty world where you grind collect Wealth, Mysteries, and Artifacts for the sake of collecting Wealth, Mysteries, and Artifacts. The Assassinations are, in a way, a tribute to AC1 without any of the cool aspects AC1 had( although less grindy thankfully). In comparison to Odyssey or Origins they took out a lot of the god mode factors which actually helped the game not feel as sluggish but now it’s more realistic I guess. The graphics are good, the combats not good, the story’s alright if you stay in the animus, and they haven’t really added anything new except your Village area upgrades and being able to do in game purchases. Overall the game is okay but I probably would have just waited for the next one if I could go back in time.

The game is literally broken and they keep making it worse instead of better. I’m done with Call of Duty. Modern Warfare was awesome and they had to ruin Warzone with Black Ops Cold War’s garbage and all of the updates continuously make the game perform worse( textures, button response, load in times, spawn locations, glitches, etc). The cherry on top is trying to rank up and enjoy the gameplay without spending hundreds of dollars on in-game purchases in order to stand a chance at competing against the people that do or the people that devote every waking moment of their existence to exploiting the games breaks to their advantage. Activision sucks.

*PS5 Review* They expanded all the terrible aspects of the first game by making this an Uncharted-ish platformer game. That alone wouldn’t be so terrible except that the game is extremely glitchy and doesn’t recognize your button commands around 20% of the time. The story is a generic continuation of the first game, nothing very special, with they typical Star Wars formula- lightsabers, OP basic enemies that somehow can take on a Jedi? , fluffy creatures, and friendly droids. There is fan service in the form of a Clone Wars callbacks, all the lightsaber options, and Vader. The map is still terrible but at least they tried to keep it Star Warsy. Overall I find the game to only be difficult due to the glitched controls. The combat system and enemies are basic if you’re a gamer and repetitive. There are a couple of cool action sequences I enjoyed but all in all I won’t replay it. All that being said, it’s still at least a Star Wars game and most of them are absolute trash, this one is better than most but not a solid game on its own.
