    As someone who also played Valhalla and knows exactly what @Evie is talking about, I don't think I would recommend skipping Valhalla entirely. It is (imo) a really fun game and story, but just go in knowing that once you've done the usual grind-until-you're-at-a-comfortable-level-to-not-die-too-often, the side quests are almost completely pointless in the scheme of things. It is not the game to be a completionist on.

    I played it for like 130 hours and still had tasks left, and they were still releasing content! I mean, props to them for putting so much into it, but as a player with limited free time it was exhausting to try and 100%.

    Edit: As far as recommendations, the overarching story kind of fizzled out around game 4 or 5 I think. For those first few, it was important to play them all and in order if you cared about the frame narrative, but outside of that I would just pick the ones that look interesting to you. I really liked the ancient world ones (Odyssey and Origins) and I actually really liked the combat in Valhalla, but I also like to stress-massacre and not be forced to be stealthy all the time like the first several games. Not everyone likes that.

    The one game that I would highly recommend though is Black Flag. It is so much fun to be a pirate assassin.

    I'm sure there was some sort of waiver signed, but personally I wouldn't want to face the lawyers of 4 billionaire families even with signed waivers.

    That makes sense. I saw the bismuth knife video and noticed it was a way different vibe than the others, but didn’t make the connection. Thanks!
