Valhalla out tomorrow. 8% off on the Xbox store - just pre ordered and installing at the moment smile
Where are you seeing that?
I've just had a look on the Xbox store (via Console) and its showing as £59.99 - no mention of any discount.
(Amazon are selling it for £51.99)

Bit late to the game here! hehe bought AS: Odyssey for my PS5 in the sale for about a tenner I think with all the packs. Really enjoying it so far. I'm playing as the woman, and it sounds like I picked the better character.

After reading this, I also bought Origins for a tenner too! And thanks to new fibre install downloaded it about 40 times faster than usual.

It's very Witcher-y isn't it? I am on about level 13 so far and totally engrossed in it. My missus is not happy. Thanks for the top tip of the Sparta kick, I haven't got that yet. Any other good tips anyone?

Great game! I really enjoyed the direction AC took for origins and odyssey, though a lot of people didnt!

Think the open world, different style is brilliant, and I think it towed the line of realistic and mythology quite well!

I loved valhalla (get it if you havent played it!) but they unfortunately went a little bit stupid with the mythology side of it, which spoiled it for me slightly!

On another note: a colleague told me this morning a Japanese setting AC has been announced, so may be worth looking into! I never bothered with Mirage - its a link to valhalla and I thought the hole mythology and fantasy role is ridiculous, and seeing videos of the protagonist teleporting turned me off completely from the series!

I really rate Origin's, great game that I had alot of fun playing. Odyssey was good and I completed it but didn't grab me like Origin's but I'm looking forward to the Japanese setting one and will probably pre-order regardless.

If you like story driven stuff then do try Ghost of Tsushima, been my favourite game for along time.

Great games and well worth the money you paid. I played them both to death and got the Platinum trophy for each. I'm currently working my way through Valhalla. It's a decent game so far also. thumbup

Agree, GoT one of my all time favourites. I love the AC series, but Ubisoft will have to do an exceptional job with the new game to match how good GoT was.

Yes, I have GOT. The graphics are superb, but not finished it. I got diverted by something last time so need to go back and restart it.

Witcher 3 is still the King of open-world games for me. Really enjoying Odyssey though right now.
