I really love it so far.

The combat is a lot better than I expected, definitely more weighty when compared to previous entries, especially Odyssey.

Seems like a refined Origins. Very Happy I'm very early on, just doing everything I can on the map before I move on with the story.

I love that there are no sidequests so far per se, just "events" that are not even logged in your quest log. Very Happy

I turned the difficulty all the way up for all 3 options (exploration, stealth, and combat)

Yes its pretty good feels like an improved Origin/Odyssey version in any regard. Performance isnt 55-60 as I fucking said though it can go down to 45....but it looks fucking good. Well at least for most of the time.

Meh, I'm finishing work in about 15 minutes and the game still didn't show up in my library. I was hoping to play it before going to sleep Sad

Is the "It's a simulation from teh fiutur" still jarring as in, say, Origins? With the "digital" map and "flickering" on blocked areas and all that crap? Sad

Game feels like AC:O but different somehow. Maybe because Vikings is more fun than. . .Greece.

As for performance, not having any problems playing this at 60FPS on high with a 5700 at 1440P. Performance is night and day compared to how Legion launched (though they are different engines).

The way they do sidequests and XP seems a lot different now. I have yet to see any kind of level requirement (I mean there are no levels as far as I'm aware) on any weapons and there are no levels on enemies. Sidequests you come across just wandering around the world map, but the bulk of my experience comes from the main quests which are good for a level (which gives you skill points).

It is a far better system if you ask me, without the game clogging up your UI with sidequests.

I tried with controller and omg, how people can play this using controller, it's ok for moving in all directions and fighting, but looking around with right stick is annoying as hell, it's constant tipping in all direction to see where you are going, ultra exhausting. With mouse is ultra easy to navigate. Regarding the gameplay nothing new, casual borefest. Uninstalled after hour or two.

Game is good but too easy, combat is more spammy and less tactical, just like previous AC. Wish it was a bit more like dark souls but then again.. can't have a perfect game.

Dumb AI just like with any game released by Ubisoft. "Good" to see everyone focusing on 4k, ray tracing and what not, while the game has 2 lines of AI code that haven't been improved since.. 1984..

Playing on Hard and it's challenging, but I don't mind it, also for stealth and exploration, Pathfinder setting and getting spotted seems very easy now if you're not paying attention but only when you're close.

Armour can be improved by quality, players on console who played a long time already said it's not as grindy as you can improve what you have a lot already, gear is more rare as well to avoid getting bombed with useless shit like in Odyssey.

There's a big difference in resolution. But as we've seen with Legion, Ubisoft's optimization for the RTX series makes no difference, so probably that's it.

Testing out settings to figure out optimal ratio quality/performance and when running the benchmark, I thought, damn, that looks kind of ugly. AC:O was looking crisper than this and...

turns out that the default resolution scale in the game is set to 80% (in my case), which ofc makes the game look like absolute shit, lol.

So, just in case, might want to check on that Smile

On another note, there seems to be close to no difference in FPS from High to Very High to Ultra High. I mean it's like low 1 digit differences.

Also, Borderless seems the better option, rather than Fullscreen.
