After 300 hours of 'Assassin's Creed Valhalla' I am dead inside

One of the best qualities of the Assassin's Creed series is its commitment to accuracy, especially when it comes to different cultures, historical settings and mythology. "Valhalla," for what it's worth, nails Nordic mythology, from major story beats to tiny references like Ratatosk the Squirrel. Another great quality is the series' deeply complex lore. Admittedly, the present-day storylines can feel a tad convoluted, and are hit-or-miss from game to game. But "Valhalla's" lands on the "hit" side, finally answering series-long questions about things like the ancient group known as the Isu.
