In order to be a successful open world game, like say for example, Odyssey was, you must have a good backbone. What I mean by that is you have to have some sort of meaning to explore, a great story, awesome combat, not just simply great visuals. Assassins Creed Valhalla is hollow, a mere shell of Odyssey. The storyline is the most boring story I've ever played. Endless amounts of voice overs and talking and talking and talking... about nothing!! You can skip all the dialogue; it really is just annoying. The combat is so dumbed down and simple. As long as you are the enemy's level or higher you can go into battle knowing your simple attacks will take the foe down. Hunting, secrets, exploration and side missions all blow compared to how awesome they were in Odyssey. I'm about 60 hours in, rushing through the main quests just to try and get a decent conclusion. All the missions are the same, escort this guy, help this guy, all insignificant, all boring, all the same. Weapons and Gear and Odyssey were so fun to find and upgrade and use. Valhalla gear is boring... nothing to it. Simple! Leveling up your base camp is a chore and nothing here is rewarding at all. I don't care about the combat; I don't care about the story. This game has failed in every single way. Origins and Odyssey were AMAZING. Valhalla is just a money grab.
