The Assassin's Creed Franchise started in Jerusalem during the Crusades (AC 1, released in 2007), it was the only real option as a gamer to "live history" for many years. Many titles of the series were great, some were outstanding, it peaked with Origins and Odyssey, then it became blasphemous demon worship (VALHALLA), pandering to a growing market of muslim "emerging" countries (MIRAGE), then the asian market (SHADOWS). Now it is heading straight to hell (HEXE), just like western culture in general.

WELCOME TO THE WOKE WORLD
OF AC VALHALLA THAT IS PURE "MAGIC"
- rabbits and foxes live underwater in a lake SE of brunton turret
- 3 map markers, all same colour - NOT confusing at all. you constantly ride the wrong way
- Neighing of horse sounds unreal and computer generated
- When you whistle, horse comes so quickly, its like made for gamer kids with zero patience.
- Can't swing your weapon to kill animals while riding, only kick it. which does, uuh.. nothing..
- i run past 2 guards while heavily hooded, they face away from me. But immediately recognize me. extremely realistic!
- playing on lower level, I light on fire like tinder. crouching or rolling on the floor doesn't help
- main characters are loveless and boring, dialogues are endless
- repetitive, dull and lackluster gameplay
- NPC villagers keep repeating the same phrases again and again, killing immersion

- female eivor sometimes sounds like a wannabe tough guy (bad voice acting)
- Reda the little negro storyteller in Raventhorpe is the most annoying thing in any game ever. period. he just won't shut up.
- you can only flourish in this game if you kill christians constantly and without mercy, nuns, priests, monks, soldiers, villagers. The entire game is an orgy of blasphemy.
- Enemy Soldiers say "Strike for Christ" or "God loves me" in the most gay voice ever, right before you chop their heads off or dismember them.
- the climbing is glitchy and unpolished AF, sometimes it takes 3 minutes just to get into some window or up some tree.
- Repetitive drinking challenges get boring.
- Stacking stones is mostly ridiculous waste of time. There is no proper visual help to help calculate the center of gravity.
- Animus Anomalies are boring and a grind as well
- "you need another key to open this door" well, no shit! i'm glad my eagle, i mean raven is completely useless so i have to search for it for 10 minutes before (like always) having to look the solution up online, which completely breaks the gameflow.
- game is way too easy even on hardest mode (drengr) apart from boss fights who become impossible, so you constantly have to switch difficulty levels, which means you have to restart the whole encounter.

- Asgard feels boring and "Hello Kitty" compared to the Odyssey "Atlantis" DLC, not like a place where the gods dwell.
- for the entire first half of the game, you can only choose 2 different (lame) haircuts
- Underwater world is crafted without love, looks unrealistic and boring
- game crashes routinely even on mid or low graphics, for no apparent reason, playing on "adaptive quality 30fps" solves some of that, but it still happens sometimes.
- Exploration of the map on your own is close to impossible. For every door or chest you need 2 or 3 keys which are impossible to find. Cave entrances are impossible to find. The only way to play is spool down the main storyline.
- Gigantic roman ruins in england pretty much everywhere. yeah. extremely realistic.
- the game is way too long but it all feels the same. I am now at 125hours and still haven't completed the river raids.
- substandard voice acting. much dialogue feels rehearsed and not like you are actually there.
- in the beginning of the game "Odin's sight" range is almost useless. Enemies never stay highlighted so you have to pulse over and over again. Try that on a mouse with 3 buttons LOL.
- it doesn't matter which weapon you choose, upgrading them is all kinda pointless. You can just upgrade a flail or spear and mash through the enemy.

- you can only carry 1 bow at a time. really? in real life my korean bow (similar to a samick SKB) weighs 350grams. to steer an arrow in-flight, you need a different bow!
- talking about bows, it shoots much too flat, evenen my grandma can easily murder half the outpost from 80 yards away. (all games these days are streamlined for instant gratification of gamer kids it seems..)
- You cannot trade one resource for another. But have to do raid after raid just to gather tungsten ingots and collect titanium, only to bring your stupid Settlement to level 6.
- EIVOR as a character is unlikeable. Has no appeal compared to Ezio, Bayek or Kassandra. You can only play as female (unless you plan on doing some sexy man-on-man kissing during gameplay)
- obviously AI has been used to make this map gigantically large compared to prior games. Sadly it feels no AI has been used to actually polish the game or eradicate bugs. The bigger size is actually a downgrade.
- Combat animatons feel not real, just a blood-fest (dashing your sword 5 times in a row into an enemy's skull that is already down & out). Running around with a huge sword as if it was a manga comic.
- When in camp with Rollo & Ake, interrogating Lork & Gerhild, Ake and Rollo's same voicelines are triggered constantly. This game has been shipped to costumers unfinished.
- Cannot change camera distance to player. Being in a watchtower or tight spaces visuals are terrible sometimes. (vision blocked by boxes or walls etc.)
- You killed everyone in a village, collected 2 keys but still cannot open the stupid door, you need another key ! LOL ridiculous.
- Rima the Negro Blacksmith. Of course! Totally normal in a Viking Village. Stupid Woke Propaganda.

- Raids are repetitive and boring.
- game is so longwinding after 40hrs or so, you stop reading any notes you find, killing immersion
- Lighting inside caves. completely ridiculous. Light violates every law of physics. it goes around corners and is much too bright, or so dark you can't see shit.
- in the very SouthWest in Hamtunshire (especially the forest) fog is so thick you literally can't see shit.
- Between Picheringa & Threaded Pass, standing and fishing by the river, the fog flies past so fast, it looks like a damn smoke machine.
- wild rabbits, deer, foxes and even fish that are 50 yards away suddenly flee when you aim their bow at them. They must have a magical radar-based warning system. Devs that implement shit like this are just lazy, opting for an easy fix in making hunting "more realistic".
- so many glitches and bugs you can write a book about it. keys you can't pick up, world events that refuse to trigger. most games are shipped unready but quality control on this title = atrocious.
- Eivor keeps saying shizz like "Sunin, guide me" (when you use the useless raven) or "Thor lends me strength" when you press "H" to heal. Both are Norse Pagan Gods.
- after you shoot an animal to harvest a pelt, its not highlited in "Odin's Sight" good luck finding it
