  • I finally finished AC: Valhalla after what feels like a lifetime. It was fine but my need to collect everything and finish all the story lines just made it drag by the end.

    Looking forward to playing lots of stuff now as there's been quite a lot included on Game Pass since I started AC.

    First up is Chants of Sennaar which from the ~45 minutes I played at lunch I think I'm going to enjoy.

  • Chants of Sennaar

    I've really enjoyed this, got a few little bits to polish off before the end but nice puzzling.

    I thought that was a lovely wee game, very intelligently done. Have fun.

    AC:Valhalla wasn't a terrible game but they made it a lot worse than it could have been by making a huge amount of what should have been side content compulsory. The most frequent complaint from reviewers was "Every so often I'm reintroduced to people who are supposed to be important and I have no memory of who they are". The most common post on the Reddit subs was "When does the story start?", sometimes after dozens of hours of play. Also the worst and trashiest historical reconstruction of any game in the series, because they went for the audience of The Vikings TV show. The difference between that game and the next, Mirage, is on an astronomical scale; OG Creed players mostly enjoyed Mirage but those who came in with the previous three mammoth RPGs had no idea what was going on and mostly hated it.
