I was hoping they would come back to the series root, with actual stealth gameplay over action rpg, sadly they won't... and I just will keep playing the old ones.
I'd definitely agree that they have become two very different types of game...but IMO that's OK.
I do like the story and stealth focus in the original games but I've found that I've approached Origins, Odyssey and now Valhalla in a very different way. Valhalla has become my "pick up and play a time frame" type game where I will go in and just concentrate on either the next step of the quest, gathering the wealth in a region, etc. rather than attempting to play through the entire thing as quickly as possible.
I'll probably still be playing in a year's time LOL but it definitely prevents it from becoming a 'must complete it now' slog.
To me Brotherhood and Revelations, on both x360 and The Ezio Collection versions, are the "pick up and play a time frame" type game (along NMS). I like just to explore the city, find some collectables, do some assassinations, renovations, etc and basically go to completition, remove all icons from the map.
Never played Valhalla. Origins it was fun at start then become tedious, Odyssey it was better, but because I played it with almost no hud, using just the description and the dialogues to find places and npcs for quests. It was fun to explore, but it wasn't an Assassin's Creed game.
