I thought Odyssey was a ridiculously big world, but they've topped it with this one! The game is great fun, and runs great and fast on PS5 at this point. I can imagine it would be sluggish on load screens on PS4 because it's a really large game. The graphics and ray tracing effects on PS5 are absolutely stunning, and there's just so much fun stuff to do in the game. You can spend hours just going around doing fun little mystery quests, which also make your character more powerful with skill points so the story line is easier to play.
I like how there aren't tons of vendor-trash weapon drops filling up my inventory in this iteration of the game. I don't like spending a bunch of time messing with inventory, and they've relieved us of that. It's great how you can play a variety of weapons for whatever play style you like. I like having axes in both hands personally.
The skill tree is daunting when you first see it, but there is an option to let fate guide your selections and let it fill up automatically. I've actually done that and it's worked well so far. In this version of the game, you can easily reassign your tree one item at a time if you find a skill that you really want with no penalties. You can even wipe your tree and start over with no penalties whatsoever.
The mounts actually work a lot better than in past games too. That's always been a frustration of mine in this series, and now it's much better.
Your bird is a raven in this game, and it's not quite as handy as it was in past games... but it does what it needs to do.
At this point I'm about 45% through the game, and naval battles aren't what you'd expect coming from Odyssey. Your boat just takes you around to on-shore camps where you and crew get out and raid camps. It's great fun as well, and I don't really miss the naval battles as much as I thought that I would.
So I've been playing this game at least a couple hours a day or more since December, and I'm only at 45%. It's worth the money. I absolutely love it.
THE WARNING: I see some people saying the game is boring or lacking from other games in the series. I thought that at first. I started with PS4 until I got my PS5, and I don't know if it was the graphics quality from the PS4 or what, but the graphics hurt my eyes in the first area. It was all snowy and fuzzy. I think it was a good 4 hours into the game when I finally got out of the snowy, hard-terrain area and sailed to England. That's actually the intro to the game. I couldn't believe I was seeing the title screen like 4 hours into the game! WTH... but hang in there. Life gets great after that, but the starting area was not cute.

Glitched and RELEASED BEFORE READY
Game released before it was ready. Laden with glitches!! (Below is a spoiler but only in the very slightest sense of the word)Attached is a photo of an Anomaly. It’s a type of side “quest” in AC Valhalla that you can do with your present day character. Here a beam is supposed to be attached to the first light colored block. I then hop on the block and adjust the beam to another light colored block (according to instructions given in-game). Unfortunately the beam disappears before I reach the block that it’s making solid by hitting it; then the beam never returns. Conclusion: Side mission brokenI went online and watched as some other players were able to do this Anomaly because there beam was steady and didn’t vanish as soon as their character started to run across the light colored block. I however saw players struggling with this glitch also (and others) in anomaly missions.You will find glitches that are just annoying and glitches that make missions undoable throughout this glitch-riddled experience.The game wasn’t ready but some knucklehead bossman wanted a certain release date and an unready product was put on the market too soon.
