AC:Valhalla wasn't a terrible game
I played it right after AC Odyssey (the ancient Greece one), which I really enjoyed. It was such a similar game to play and I expected to enjoy it. I never got going on it - I think because it all just looked a bit dreary compared to the palette of Odyssey. It was all mud and cold compared to sun and bright mountains.

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.
