This is the game that made me stop buying Ubisoft games. the game is designed to force microtransactions and time savers down your throat with its bloated and nonsensical story.
The game opens in Norway, which is in my opinion is Ubisoft's best looking world space since AC origins. Unfortunately, this is promptly ruined by Ubisoft's typically shit facial designs and animations, with every character looking identical as those who share their gender. How am i supposed to feel sad for eivor losing their parents when her dad looks exactly like the blacksmith and they reuse eivors male VA for eivors Dad. Like bro your dad is literally everywhere OPEN YOUR FUCKING EYES!!!!!!!!
Throughout the games marketing campaign they teased the return of the assassins brotherhood or 'hidden ones' for the nonces among us. Eivor is given a hidden blade which they use on the top side of their forearm because quirky and glorious Viking moment. Eivor is taught social stealth by basim and how to dish out various assassination techniques. However, after using these mechanics for the entire game and favouring a stealth approach, when eivor is presented with the opportunity to join the hidden ones, the game strips the option to make the choice yourself and she down right refuses because she thinks cowards work in the dark and that killing should be done with glory and honour in the open.
Dark age England is possibly the most boring setting Ubisoft's ever produced and the random events were a lazy answer to odysseys side quest problem.
the combat is messy, doesn't flow well and feels like sliding a bit of cardboard down your urethra.
on top of all of this subpar shite, the game forces you to do every arc in England before you can finish the game, this means that the game is bloated by about 70 hours when in reality the main story is comprised of like 5-6 of those arcs. my total playtimes added up to 150 hours just to finish the main story.
dont even get me started on the mythical arcs or the dlc
shit game
