The whole time I am playing it, I just want to go play Assassin's Creed Valhalla. It's just not that interesting of a game beyond being pretty. I played about 4 hours and it just keeps falling flat for me. Thoughts? I am completely willing to accept I am crazy but I just can't get into it.
You’re crazy.
I'm gonna have to agree here. There's no world where AC Valhalla is a better game than Tsushima.

I agree. I liked Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, but I found it to be a bit of slog at times. Ghost of Tsushima is a better game in every way IMO.

Oh, I know that! I just am comfortable with that treadmill and the ****house rat crazy nonsense that started with Origins I kinda want to see through
.
Honestly though, I imagine I would burn out on that quick too I bet. I think my time with these huge open world games is now behind me post stay at home pandemic. I got frustrated with Ghosts because it didn't immediately hook me in any real way besides being pretty. I can see it's a quality piece of software but I don't have the sit there and see it through attitude like I did with the AC RPG's. I was just home with no commute so I had an extra 2-3 hours to sink in a day. I bounced off Immortals Fenyx Rising and that should have been my jam. But I started back at work in the city and boom, the drive to sit and engage with it disappeared. I know it's me but maybe I will just put it aside until next summer or something. Not like I don't have a ton to play
.
Also, no one told me Ys Monstrum Nox is just even more egregiously emo Kingdom Hearts. I think that's my new main game.
