15 High-Risk Video Game Pre-Orders of 2020

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

You could apply a lot of the same concerns for Ubisoft’s open world approach to Assassin’s Creed Valhalla as well. The prospect of building and upgrading a settlement when not conducting raids on suspecting villages is intriguing, the combat, side quest design and story treatment don’t show significant improvements over Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. Even with returning stealth elements like blending into crowds and one-hit kills with the Hidden Blade, it still continues the action RPG gameplay of Odyssey and Origins. So if you’ve grown exasperated with that approach, you might want to hold off on Valhalla.
