One really nice thing about playing a long, involved game like Assassins Creed Valhalla is that I don’t have to think about what game I want to play when I’m done work and chores in the evening. For the past month, it’s been off to Valhalla for a few hours. It’s the same feeling I get when I’m seriously into an MMO and logging in and saying hello to the guild is just a great start to an evening. ...

I came into this series cold: I haven’t played more than a couple hours of any Assassin’s Creed game. One, I played a portion of the tutorial of when I was seeing if PlayStation Now, Sony’s game streaming service, would work with my connection (no). The other, Black Flag, I played until they went back to the “real world” for the first time – also another game I got free somehow. So, I can’t compare this to other Assassin’s Creed games. ...
