I have a better reason not to play it - it's not an assassins creed game. It's not a bad game, it's pretty good for whatever it is. But it's not an assassins creed game. I'm not sure how anyone thinks it's an assassins creed game when the assassins are literally just a tiny little side mission. Most of the AC games focused on assassination - usually the stealthy kind. This is more of a historical hack and slash. If you are into that sort of game you'll probably enjoy this. But I don't know why Ubisoft is calling it an AC game. They should have just spun it off either as an entirely new game series, or as some sort of spin off only vaguely related to the AC games. I've finished ALL of the AC games, but this is the first one where I've gotten bored with it after about just half way through it.
I hope the next one is more like an AC game, otherwise I think valhalla will probably be the last one I buy. I really enjoyed the other AC games so i hope the next one goes a little bit more back to the roots of the series.
