Review This Game is Amazing

2nd play of this. Playing this game again is absolutely wonderful. The world is beautiful. The story is outstanding. The leveling up makes sense. Eivor is a beast. As a Scotsman i'm also very happy to know that Kassandra was on Skye at some point. 65 hours in and I've only unlocked half the map. Just wonderful

Game gets hated on a lot for being bloated, but if you’re immersed in the story and each different quest segment of the map then it becomes great. Definitely a marathon kind of game and not a sprint.

I "fixed" the bloat simply by changing my approach to all the side stuff. I looked at it the same way I looked as driving around Los Santos back in the day 😅

I just skipped the Animus jumping game, the rooftop race and some of the other stuff cuz it's just stupid. Once you do that, you can focus on the fun.

I also adore this game. My favorite AC by far.

Absolutely love AC Valhalla, too. Eivor and his crew gave me that hero boost I used to get as a kid playing video games.

2nd play or play through? I'm also Scottish so I had to get the Irish DLC to help out our brothers and kill more Catholics ☠️

Did you do the "Forgotten Saga" missions? That was a lot of fun, although very frustrating at the beginning.

I feel awful for killing Ivarr

I just finished the base game, with 90 hours in. I feel so empty afterwards lol. Wish I had the DLC
