I hated chasing them in the other games AC across roof tops it was horrible. Why would you bring it back? Its a mission no one enjoys. It needs to be a pick item not a chase. I dont mind finding them & picking them up like loot but im not gonna chase them.

I'm no expert and I can appreciate the amount of time, money and labour that goes into building such a game. But I have played nearly every single Assassin's Creed game and I just can't seem to wrap my head around where Ubisoft was trying to go with this game. I think Ubisoft came through with the visuals and story somewhat on this one but every aspect of the stealth, combat and movement mechanics is appalling. The stealth is all but useless, unless you've got an hour and a half just to move ever so slowly around one village or fort undetected, don't bother. they may as well have not even put it in the game. The combat is slow, weighty, and not engaging at all. The combat and stun finishers are repetitive and boring, where is the variety, the substance and that AC flamboyance? Nine out of ten times your combat abilities will disappoint you. The movement is SO BAD in this game that it's more frustrating than anything just to get around. Eivor feels like He/She weighs six hundred pounds and feels slow, sticky and encumbered just trying to climb a wall or move around a fence. Overall it feels like Ubisoft completely ditched the lightweight, smooth and flowy mechanics that make the Assassin's Creed franchise what it is. It wouldn't be such a disappointment if they hadn't slapped the AC branding on a game that feels nothing like it's predecessors. The standards have been set so high with games like Brotherhood, Black Flag and more or less Origins that it feels as though AC will forever be living in its own shadow. Where are the mechanics and systems that AC fans came to know and love? you're letting us down Ubisoft.

Are we going to get that ability back in Valhalla? It was the only thing I missed in Odyssey was the ability to do double assassinations which really limited you in many forts ..... I didn't even really miss the Hidden Blade all that much, I thought the Spear of Leonidas assassination were way cooler, and you could do these great running assassinations that looked good and felt satisfying but I really missed the double assassination ability
