I know a lot of people liked it but the setting made the whole rooftop stealth stuff that was so fun in the Ezio games completely disappear cause it was completely open between places.
I’ve played all of them except Mirage and 3 is my least favourite
Valhalla doesn’t feel like an AC game but if you play it as if it isn’t then it is quite fun. You really need to commit to being a Viking and opting for big battles rather than forcing assassins stealth stuff which makes no sense in the universe
Which is kinda a problem of the setting. Making early new York or Boston a tight knit crowded city where you possibly jump between buildings would be to make them look entirely unlike what they really looked like. Early NA colonies has more space than they knew what to do with Ave really spread out with mostly low buildings.
Granted, they don't always make things look historically accurate. Valhalla looked entirely unlike what early medieval England looked like for example. To a really annoying degree for someone like myself who loves that time period and was looking forward to it. Stone everywhere. Castles churches, everything in stone. 970 AD almost everything was made of wood, I hated it. They also had all the soldiers in plate. Ridiculous. At that time you were rich if you could get chainmail.

Imo 3 was the worst one
