7/12/2023 0 Comments Screenium serial number 1.06What else should I be playing: Assassins Creed Origins is beautiful in a different way, set in Ancient Egypt. It's a lot of fun sliding down the sides of pyramids. There's also Asssassin's Creed Odyssey, the Ancient Greek varietal, which I think has the best sense of humour. And Immortals Fenyx Rising deserves a shout out too, a sort of Assassin's Creed meets Zelda game. I know some people might make noise about there being an Assassin's Creed game on this list, but frankly I think I've shown restraint. The AC games had a bit of a renaissance starting with 2017's Origins, overhauling a lot of the core design and making the series from then on sharper, harder, and more interesting. In the process, Ubi brought the RPG elements to the surface, and Valhalla is arguably the pinnacle of the series and its new direction. Valhalla takes place in England in Anglo-Saxon times. It's a very alive yet melancholic landscape, very season of mists and mellow fruitfulness, and provides a great backdrop for the story of a Viking raider staking a claim in England that we know must, eventually be doomed. The main story is an epic with betrayal, gods, monsters, and extremely mythical end-game DLC if you fancy it. Eivor, a big buff blonde warrior of whichever gender you prefer, is a charismatic protagonist whichever way you slice it - although they do most of the slicing. Aside from the extreme meatiness of the combat, which is potentially the most violent the series has been, there are opportunities to turn the tide even further.
