Hey there, fellow gamers! So, let me tell you about my epic (or not-so-epic) journey with Assassin's Creed Valhalla. Strap in, because we're diving into the Viking world with a side of frustration!

First things first, I give it a solid 2 out of 5 stars. Why, you ask? Well, let me regale you with a tale of crashes and more crashes.

Picture this: I'm raiding and pillaging with Eivor, feeling like a true Viking conqueror. But suddenly, the game decides it's had enough, and I get the dreaded "game crashed" message. And it didn't happen once, twice, or even ten times. No, it happened twenty times in just 187 hours! I mean, come on, Ubisoft, my console isn't a longship, and this isn't the 9th century!

I finally had to draw my own Assassin's Creed and yell, "Stop!" That's right, I uninstalled the game and freed up my hard drive for something less crash-prone, like a game of Pong. Eivor deserved better than constant crashes.

But hey, let's not forget the good stuff. The graphics were stunning, the Viking vibes were on point, and the combat was killer (when the game actually worked). I mean, who doesn't love raiding monasteries and flinging axes left and right?

In conclusion, Assassin's Creed Valhalla has a lot going for it, but the bugs and crashes nearly made me want to trade my horned helmet for a tinfoil one. If you're willing to brave the storm and hope for some patches, give it a shot. But for me, this Viking voyage ended on a rocky shore.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got some real-life Viking raids to plan – in the kitchen for snacks, that is. Skål! 🍻⚔️
