Spent a couple of hours on Assassin's Creed Valhalla today. It's definitely a different game to Odyssey. More serious. Combat is more barbaric too. Less finess, more hack and slash. Still very fun though.
You can switch between male and female at any time which is great 'cause I wasn't sure which one I wanted to play. The female in Odyssey (Kassandra) was much better than the male (Alexios). In this one I find the male to be much better. The female just has no character about her at all. She's boring. The male just looks like a crazy berserker. Especially when you pick the full on ZZ top beard.
