Ubisoft -

I was so impressed with the strong characters and storyline of AC Oddessy that I purchased and played every AC game in order just to get the backstory. I was very impressed with the way you drew me in to the story and portrayed such strong characters. I even bought fan art for all the major characters (except Connor) for my game room and pre-ordered Valhalla.

Imagine my disappointment when I played Valhalla and found clunky mechanics, a weak story, and caricatures instead of characters. The "mysteries" are so cringe-worthy that I purposely avoided them at all costs after the first two. I also gave up on collecting all the gear or materials; who wants to spend a half-hour trying to get into a building to retrieve a piece of gear they'll never use?

Why, after Origins and Oddessy, did you completely revamp the game? And how did you pick the absolute worst combinations of plot, character, gameplay, and controls that would make me give up on a game I paid $100 for?

Where is the stealth option? Where are the strong characters I care about, the Kassandras, the Ezios, the Edward Kenways?

I feel bad for all your developers having labored so hard to produce this abomination. You have created the Mass Effect: Andromeda of the AC series and lost me as a fan and customer.
