I'm not really getting the AC Valhalla hate, I mean the 30 minute gameplay demo has 1 dislike for every 2 likes, I don't see anything that could justify that level of hate. It looks great to me, I'm seeing several notable improvements over the already great AC Odyssey; both graphical and gameplay improvements. Graphics wise, it doesn't look next-gen, it is clearly cross-gen, but I still see several improvements over Odyssey, especially with the quality of the grass, which was kind of poor quality in Odyssey and looks denser and better in Valhalla. Combat looks the best out of all 3 AC RPG games thanks to dual wielding, axe throwing, more combat abilities, more weapon types, greater enemy type variety, etc. Stealth is back again, we have social stealth, the possibility of assassinating main story bosses, etc. The exploration aspect looks better than the previous 2 RPG AC games. We have proper character customization now, which is good because I don't like the look of default Eivor. The England map seems properly big and filled with content, and it is just 1 of 3 maps in the game.
The only real issue I see is that the facial animations are still kind of bad, but they still have 4 months to fix that ahead of release.

The games aren't Assassins Creed anymore.

Maybe it is not an "old" AC game anymore, but that's exactly what make it one of my favorite game now :)
I never liked the old AC games (before Origins) and then with the path they went with Origins (in term of gameplay, open world, combat, stats optimization), this is now what I love about the games.
I think "not being AC" anymore is up to the player. I can understand that for some fans it is not like the first ones (and definitely I would 100% agree with that). But for me, the changes are more than welcome and make it "my" kind of AC games. Looking at the trailer and gameplay from today, this is definitely another improvement of an already amazing game (Odyssey) and as I played AC at the hardest difficulty, stealth is 100% there and you can even build up your gear to support that. I have no idea why some people are saying that AC is not a stealth game... It is 100% up to the player.
