While recovering from flu in 2021 I played Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and really liked it but did find a few problems with it historically speaking. It didn’t detract from the experience of the game but some were a tad frustrating.
Did you enjoy the game? What historical inaccuracies did you pick out? Where would you want to see the next game set? Do let me know and don’t forget to like and subscribe for more random videos about history.
