Thinking the same. I'm really interested in Godfall for my gaming fast-food.

I need a new State of Play for the next month

is Valhalla any good? I heard good things of it and Odyssey...but like...honestly I sorta drifted away from Assassin's Creed after Black Flag. I did play Syndicate and liked it, and I played a bit of Origins but honestly found it tedious. I'm willing to give it another shot, though, especially with how much love Odyssey got.

Who here has played Assassin's Creed: Valhalla? I just got it as a late Christmas present and I'm curious to see how it is on PS5. I loved the franchise up to 4 (Black Flag is still the best pirate game I've ever played), hated Unity, thought Syndicate was fine but nothing special, then sorta gave up when Origins came out. Liked that game but found it very confusing (The change from 'traditional' Assassin's Creed to the more RPG style was jarring).

I hear Odyssey and Valhalla are actually both pretty goddamn good, but after failing to finish Origins I never got into them. However, both were cheap on Amazon so I was able to get both Odyssey and Valhalla for like 50 bucks CAD total. any advice going into these games? Especially now that Odyssey has most of the glitches and performance issues cleaned up?

Might actually be their best work in terms of polish and general performance. Loved that game (like all soulslikes, it has its moments of frustration but reflecting on it is almost entirely positive). 

I love RPG style games and the satisfaction of Assassin's Creed gameplay has always been enjoyable for me. I think once I have the mindset to tackle it, I should. The more I hear about it the clearer it is I just missed the point in my first attempt at Origins. That's on me. Ubisoft can be shitty, but I still tend to like their games.

Had to look up Greedfall....OH! Thaaaat game! I considered buying it a couple times, but didn't pull the trigger. My hero Jim Sterling liked it. I think it looks good. SOLID month.

A bit of poison on my blade, AND LET'S GO!

I'm really enjoying it. It looks and plays fantastic on PS5, but there are some minor issues (small movement/npc bugs) and at one point I had to restart the game because the quest wouldn't trigger its next phase. I think Ubisoft did an amazing job on Valhalla's writing. The sidequests (more like events) are fast, diverse and most times funny. The world is enormous and can get a little overwhelming (not as much as Odyssey) if you want to 100% it. I get the feeling that sometimes it feels more like a game from Witcher series than a Assassins Creed sequel, specially if you skipped Odyssey.

I totally recommend getting it, specially now with big discounts. Hope you enjoy it! Let me know!
