A vast and multi-faceted trip through a stylised Viking life, with a new fighting system, manifold mini-games and diversions, and untold glitches. It’s Assassin’s Creed to its core.
The mix of stealth and battle charge raids makes a nice change of pace, with combat more exciting than usual; It looks beautiful throughout and it’ll keep you out of trouble for weeks.
Many bugs; The open world is large and relatively empty, a problem exacerbated if you turn down the HUD settings; Conversational choices rarely seem important and side missions feel flyweight and inconsequential.
