Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
Ever since Assassin’s Creed Origins released back in 2017, the series has seen a revitalization of sorts. Gameplay and story elements have shifted to make the games feel more modern, introducing mechanics like dialogue trees and a handful of different RPG-like leveling systems.
While Assassin’s Creed Valhalla certainly builds upon those improvements, it also doesn’t sit on its hands either. Instead, the game innovates on what came before it.
An example of this can be found in the decision to dials back grindy elements in favor of allowing players to explore the game’s vast open world. You’ll spend hours finding new places and exploring, meeting all of the interesting new characters and experiencing the unique stories the title has to offer all the while.
If you’ve been looking for an excuse to jump back into the series, the latest installment is more than enough to satisfy your interest.
