Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Pushes Franchise Forward Again
With the last two installments of the Assassin's Creed franchise, Ubisoft has reworked the games entire formula while trying to stay true to what made the original so fantastic - stealthy mechanics, outstanding kills, and more. While Origins and Odyssey were surprisingly similar - small welcome changes did come when we headed to ancient Greece - it appears as if Ubisoft is taking a big leap forward with Valhalla, and I couldn't be more excited.
