I played through it on my Xbox One X some years ago and had fun with it. It didn't run at 60 fps, but 2160p30 was a very cinematic experience regardless.
I got excited and then I saw the new art style. I'm afraid I prefer the original art style - glorious isometric loveliness. The new one would be fine if the old one wasn't so gorgeous.
I've been finishing off Assassin's Creed: Odyssey on my Xbox One X. I mostly enjoyed it but many of the RPG mechanics were quite tiresome. I hear Valhalla is even longer, which doesn't bode well. Odyssey was already hitting the upper limit for me and the mechanics were starting to grow stale.
Still, the world was fairly pretty and it had a surprising amount of comedy in it. The fighting mechanics were mostly fun, although the lack of hidden blades and stupid auto-leveling content rather worked against the demi-god power fantasy.
I should probably get my Steam Deck RMA'd so I can play something else, but that requires more mental effort than I can handle right now.
As someone from Britain, I never got the educational vibe. I mostly got "is this a reference to something?" as various characters showed up. My knowledge of American history starts in the 1920s, mostly.
