    AC1: do everything you can to kill your targets while avoiding combat Valhalla: go kill this nation.
  • You never buy a Ubisoft AC/FC/WD game on launch... You wait for the 75% sale in 4 months.
  • Crazy that I put 167 hours into elden ring and instead of wondering when it would end, I was getting sad that my journey was ending. Insane how map design, gameplay loops, etc can affect enjoyment of a game that much
  • @theAEDan
    One thing I hate about the new assassins creeds is the endless amount of markers. I’m not sure if it’s just me, but the compulsion to collect them to take them off the map is too strong. It’s what I spend most of the time doing. Doesn’t help that some of them are underground with unclear entrance paths
  • @thrace_bot1012
    Bloated, Boring and Endless. Its almost like its a generic Ubisoft game.
  • @Garrus1995
    He spent 50 hours with the Avengers? Good God, that’s horrific.
  • Ubisoft achieved what no one ever did, making norse history and mythological so boring you wanna jump out of the window.
  • Yes! This is exactly how I felt. It's crazy how I finished the quest chain with Sigurd because it felt urgent, and then the game forced me into every region of the map to do boring side content (except it wasn't side content) to finally CIRCLE BACK to Sigurd for the finale. The pacing is atrocious and the gameplay loop simply does not hold up. It feels like playing a product to pass time, not to enjoy it.
  • @NeonPanda64
    We’ve reached the point where anything to do with assassins in ASSASSINS CREED is fan service
  • @alexsilva4602
    Preston Garvey: “A settlement needs your help.” Ubisoft: Yo, let’s make that the game.
  • @SamDurkSheff
    I just finished and felt the exact same. I'm an inveterate completionist and this game was like torture to me and felt it completely disrespected my time. I agree with you entirely, so much filler but the potential for something much better to have been carved out of all the flab. Ah the positive thing is that it's made me give up on the Assassin's Creed franchise at long last so there is that.
  • I got about 60 hours into this and then checked the map and saw how MUCH I had left and just put it down. Fun concept, pretty graphic, I like Eivor and the DLCs but oh my god
  • @Kaslor1000
    Ubisoft: Okay, this time for real, we heard your feedback, next AC will be shorter Also Ubisoft: Literally plans to release a game called AC: Infinity
  • @hkmarhk
    If you are a completionist like me, don't get this game. It's like a 9-9 job with a never-ending task list.
  • I absolutely love the way you write your reviews. You speak so elegantly, yet plainly. Definitely a reviewer I will continue to watch.
  • @kenneth69
    After so many hours the amount of time waiting for finishing animations got to me. Having to watch for the 7000th time Eivor taking a two handed sword and hacking at the big brutes head just to show how fancy the animations can be . . ....
  • @towmate4673
    It’s amazing how Ghost of Tsushima has outclassed Assassin’s Creed in every way
  • "I wish I could go back in time and not play this game." was the most brutal line I've ever heard about a video game lol.
  • @xannosp.6894
    Been playing through it finally. And everything in this sums it up perfectly. “Wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle”
