Assassin's Creed Valhalla vs Assassin's Creed Odyssey
The short answer
Odyssey if you want the better world, Valhalla if you want the better structure. Odyssey's Greece is the more beautiful map and its naval combat is a genuine highlight. Valhalla breaks England into self-contained regional arcs, which makes an enormous game far easier to actually finish.
What they have in common
Same RPG-era Assassin's Creed template — levelled gear, dialogue choices, a huge map and a running time nobody needs.
Pick Valhalla if length has beaten you before.
Each region is a short story with its own cast and its own ending, so it is playable in sittings. The raiding is satisfying and the settlement gives progress somewhere to go.
Pick Odyssey if you want the map to carry it.
Greece, the sea, and the mercenary system chasing you across it. The mythology side content is the best in the modern series.
