I’m gonna say it:
If you loved ACOdyssey and are refusing to play Shadows because some touch deprived male on the internet convinced you it’s “woke”, not only you’re spreading hate for no reason, you’re also doing yourself a disservice.
You’re missing out on a game you’d love.
@ac_landmarks Played the first 2H of it yesterday and I Am invested. But you clearly see that Yasuke wasnt intended. I think they added him way later but why though..either way..so far so good. 🫡
@Stallion83 Itd because Valhalla is the weakest game..atleast imo. Odyssey and Origins were good games with a beautiful world. Valhalla is boring and empty. Plus the characters are absolutely not interesting. 👀
