Dylan Hase said:It is beautiful and the most fun I had was photo mode, and someone that is a casual player probably would enjoy it but compared to Origins and Odyssey, the game was a massive disappointment. It broke me within 20 hours and I just went back to odyssey and purchased the dlc to get my AC fix
I'd have to strongly disagree. I found Origins to be boring and dull for most of it. I think part of that, for me, is the environment. Egypt is a beautiful place, but I find dessert environments get boring really quick. There is some diversity here and there, but it's like 80% sand.
Odyssey is certainly an improvement of over Origins. Boat combat wasn't that great though. Ubisoft needs to stop trying to put boat combat into every AC title. I haven't played the latest title so idk if it's in that. Black Flag was peak ship combat for the series, and I don't think they're going to catch that lightning in a bottle again.
I think Valhalla is a lot more fun combat wise. Thankfully they give you a lot of freedom to adjust how it plays so it doesn't feel like a wannabe souls-like at times. And I'm glad to have the hidden blade actually work when I use it even if an enemy is higher level than me.
I am glad we're moving away from the level system of this trilogy of titles. I like Assassin's Creed more as an action adventure than full on rpg.
Also, anything that lets me one-hand or dual wield great swords. That adds a lot for me.
