Put a fair few hours into Valhalla today and while I still really enjoy the core game some of the other bits do really dull the experience. Whats the point of collecting wealth in Asgard? You get
5 perk points...... which just doesn’t seem worth it to me? I love the story missions, world events (some of which are frankly hilarious), stumbling across Assassin Bureaus and the like but the standard Ubisoft collect-athon just drains the life out of the game a lot for me, I’m only going after the wealth to upgrade the Raven Clan starting gear and once I’ve fully upgraded that I probably won’t bother with the wealth at all. While I’ll definitely play this one to completion (not 100% obviously
) I’m definitely not going to jump into every AC game again, only if I really like the look of the setting they’ve gone for. Plus I’ve still got the main bulk of the Ezio collection to play through after finishing Valhalla.
I did quickly try out the river raids and found it ok, probably more gained from that when you’re grinding out materials to upgrade multiple sets of armour and weapons though.
