Hard to overstate just how nothing this game is, which is a bummer since Basim seemed like an insteresting character based on the half of Valhalla I actually finished. It is essentially one of the old-school style AC games at least on paper, but I don't remember them feeling so wooden and listless. The character animations which are clearly not mo-capped should be illegal at this point since I'm certain we saw more expressive character models in the PS2 era, it's truly disgusting to look at. Much of the world itself looks great except that there is so little distinction between any of the areas of Baghdad that they could certainly be copied-and-pasted throughout and I wouldn't be surprised or likely even notice. As always, I love the history aspect, I just wish I gave even the slightest shit about anything happening within it. Tragic waste of Shohreh Agdashloo.
