Yeah...no. Origins was good, as it was the introduction of this new "RPG" style of AC, and it only really had one protagonist (Bayek), aside from the one-time switch to his wife's perspective (the worst part of the game by far, as she's a much less interesting character, and gameplay-wise she lacks many upgrades the player's unlocked for Bayek, so she's weaker than him - so what was the point in making her playable? Still don't get it; pointless).
Odyssey was much worse as it tried to implement modern "equality" standards into ancient Greece - yeah, no, there would never have been a female mercenary back then, so the female PC makes no sense, nor does the litany of female enemy mercs/soldiers (or politicians, for that matter).
I never played Valhalla, but as I understand Viking culture, only men were really able to be soldiers (like most pre-modern cultures), and from the SkillUp Valhalla review the game's bloated content-wise, so...bleh.
And then this, where the player will likely be forced to switch between the two protags at certain points in the story - just like in Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, probably - in which case...will upgrades and gear carry over? Will each character have their own skill tree and equipment? What about if the forced female PC isn't as fun to play as, due to having a stereotypical "strong female character" characterisation or lacklustre controls or mechanics?
Again, yeah...no. I'll stick with Ghost of Tsushima, if that's fine with Ubisoft; that's an actually-fantastic open-world samurai-Japan game.
