If you are doing the mistake of trying to play this thing, abandon stealth and just treat it as a combat game. Hey, do you enjoy bullet sponges? I mean sword/ax/spear/whatever you are using sponges? Do you like fights that take five minutes each? Oh then you will love this game. You get one of those, if that and then you automatically get spotted. The guaranteed assassination insta-kill skill? Not a stealth tool. More times than not they walk two steps toward you before returning to their route. Every game with awareness meters lets you pull enemies around the map. So just don't let them see your forehead… yeah right. One enemy sees you, the whole entire map knows about you. The hilarious attempt at stealth is actually sad when looking at it from any objective direction. The main story… I mean what is the main story? You get individual stories for each of the regions and then the main guy in your village runs away, then you chase him and bring him back and then you do a couple more of these disjointed events around the map, then modern stuff happens, then epilogue then zzzzzzzzzzz….

This game is actually so hilariously bad that it is the first time in all the years of playing this goddamn series I dropped it and didn't come back for any of the dlc. just refuses to end, sodomizing this dead horse of a game - progression once again choked by microtransactions - more armor sets in the Helix store than in the actual game I did not think things could get worse than Odyssey but Valhalla obliterates what it means to release garbage.

fragmented story beats in Pros - flyting is lit - orlov is a lot of fun Cons - the combat is just as mind numbingly boring as Odyssey - the most forgettable main story yet - the most garbage, unreliable stealth in the series - the guaranteed assassination skill is useless when the stealth is this broken - meaningless level system with boring skill trees - the map looks samey - fragmented story beats in each region bleed together without any iconic moments - wet fart of a main villain - the game overstays its welcome sixty percent through the joke that is the fragmented story and then. meaningless level system with boring skill trees the guaranteed assassination skill is useless when the stealth is this broken the most garbage, unreliable stealth in the series the combat is just as mind numbingly boring as Odyssey Pros - flyting is lit - orlov is a lot of fun
