OK, so just like with Odyssey in 2018, seems like I am probably the only person on PG who likes these games. Finished all the endings and some closing thoughts.
First, this is a thoroughly unimpressive game. If you've played Odyssey, there is literally nothing evolutionary/revolutionary from that game, the only major game play change is the addition of a Stamina meter which sucks.
The main storyline, the viking era one, is just ok .. not good, not bad, it's just a very standard story that is easily forgettable like a Greedfall or some other similar game. Eivor is a mediocre character, Kassandra from Odyssey had 10x more personality.
But the present day storyline .. it really only picks up at the very end but god damn if Ubisoft doesn't know how to put some real good fucking teases for either more DLC or the next game in the present storyline.

Also, if you've played God of War (2018) you'll probably feel dejavu at how pretty much all the same Greek pantheon that game featured is present here in very similar roles. I guess that goes with that mythology but ... you know .. makes me feel the Ubisoft writers took a lot of cues from it.
And of course being set in the Viking/Norse myth, Thor's weapon Mjolnir, is an end-game unlockable.
7.5/10 (8/10 just for the present day ending).
