Assassin's Creed Valhalla makes this more obvious than ever with a wealth of issues, chief of which are a bloated open world and meandering story.

Gamers hit by Assassin's Creed black screen bug can breathe a sigh of relief - at least those playing Valhalla or Origins, but Odyssey remains problematic.

After Assassin's Creed Valhalla launched on Steam in December 2022, some two years after its original Epic Games Store PC exclusive release, players complained about a lack of Steam Achievements.

Perhaps that reticence about fully embracing Steam also explains why it's taken two years for Assassin's Creed Valhalla to get Steam Achievements. But lo, the day has come.
