Assassin's Creed Valhalla

I bought this game assuming it would be an improved follow up to Odyssey. It is 100% not. This game feels like it is early access. Most of the good things that Odyssey did have either been changed or removed in this one. Below are my largest pet peeves. -Parkour/ movement in the game is clunky, unwilding, and will have you throwing yourself off a cliff more often than not; making you have to restart from the last checkpoint. -There is almost no form of progression in the game. You can beat most areas and collect most gear right at the start. -They removed equipment/ loot from the game. Now all equipment is basically equal throughout the game. No levels, no looting, and yes.... there's only about 20 pieces of gear in this game. So much for customization. Oh, and half of those (namely the good ones) you have to buy with real money via their in game store. -The skill tree is confusing and hidden, meaning you don't actually know what your buying until its bought. -Assassination tree is the only viable option, compared to Odyssey where all trees could work well. -The maps are smaller, clunkier, and harder to traverse ( especially with the abysmal parkour changes) -The customization options for your characters appears are limited to a few very... ugly styles. And gear looks cannot be changed. Meaning either you wear that ugly gear or you'll have to use a set which does not work withy your build. -Largest downside: EPIC Games Exclusive. We all know Epic is pretty horrible with both launcher and customer service. I cant even get this game to work from their launcher, and I had to do a bypass to even start playing. Then when I asked for a refund because it didn't work correctly, they basically said sorry, our money now. Buy this game when theres more content and the early access esk bugs are finally addressed. Its not worth even what Odyssey is today. If it ever goes on sale on Steam, then Ill recommend it.

It doesn't work. I, like many others, cannot get the game to launch. The game is broken and Ubisoft won't help. They develop for consoles and completely neglect PC players. I can only assume they make the entire game for Xbox/Playstation then tell Gary to port it over to PC on the Thursday before launch. The game might be pretty good, but I don't know because Ubisoft support hasn't responded to my support ticket. They're a garbage company making an unplayable game.
