Before Valhalla come out, there seemed to be a general malaise about the game. Rightfully so the company culture at ubisoft was, and is, murky at best, morally reprehensible at worst.
Beyond that, I saw a lot of people and some previews lamenting a general tiredness. Some early footage looked bad.
Fast forward to today, and it's being considered one of the best entries in the series. I haven't enjoyed an AC really since Brotherhood. Not without its worts, but Valhalla is a fantastic game and one of 2020's best. Playing it on Series X, AC at 60 fps on console, is a revelation. The writing, characters and world are legitimately great. Such a turn of events.
What games had low expectations but a completely reversed reception?
(Yes, I know Doom 2016 is coming)
