Itโs a good Viking game.
Itโs not a good AC game.
Once you get over the crashes, the glitches, and general new-game fatigue, the hash-and-slash idea of a Viking conquering a new land is fun and exciting.
But ultimately, the appeal that drew me to the AC franchise is gone. Itโs an all out brawl. Armor customization is gone. Story is okay. Map is weird and bird is useless. Iโll probably finish the game for old timeโs sake but I wonโt be purchasing any end game content or DLC. I wonโt be replaying.
