Over all a great game to experience with fun characters through out, and a fun world to explore. I personally explored the England map mostly on foot (instead of by horse/longship) as no 2 places were too far apart and the world was just fun to be in

Pros.
- I am personally biased towards games like this as I love all things vikings and norse mythology, so even a terrible game will still be fun with those sprinkled in.
- The combat all though not like your typical assassins creed game (retro or new), was very fun once you unlocked some of the skills and realised you never need to use the shields.
- The characters you met out in the world and in the side missions were all usually quite funny and had their own stories to tell, whilst sometimes very silly, still overall enjoyable.

Cons.
- The scale of the map did seem like too much overall so they had to fill areas not took up by towns with the random artifacts and mini wealth chests which didn't really need to be there.
- The stealth in this game, like the last few installments of the ac franchise was very lacking as your raiding party struggles to be stealthy whilst running up the hill, screaming and swinging their axes.
- Also the warning of desyncing if you kill the monks whilst raiding the monsitaries, is just stupid.

Overall I really enjoyed the games story, characters and world, but it just suffers from the open world syndrome which every AAA company thinks is good game design atm. Still would recommend this game, just take it with a pinch of salt
